Aries Summary
Aries, the Ram
Aries is full of individualism, energy, extroversion, and adventure. She loves to travel and usually benefits from it, especially enjoying to pick up foreign ideas and philosophies. But she may roam so far and wide that her own home and inner life starts to feel empty. Aries is happy out in the world, doing things – but is has a more prominent, often neglected, need for some quiet introspection, privacy, and time spent with mother.
Patience is the main challenge in Aries, for speed and energetic passions are so abundant here.
Aries can learn things very quickly. Optimism is welcome in aries, but pessimism is usually a great challenge to deal with constructively. Bursts of energy can be difficult to sustain with stamina, and despite extroversion, it is difficult to fit in to society and Aries prefers solitude or small groups.
