Being the first sign of the zodiac, it’s no surprise that Aries loves to be number one. Aries rules the head and often literally walks head first, leaning forward for speed and focus. They tend to be brave, bold, and ambitious. They’ll dive headfirst into a challenge and like to throw their weight around.

They like to be the first in everything - from work to social gatherings. They make good leaders and managers and have excellent organizational skills, but they don’t usually like working for other people. Often they don’t finish what they start, preferring to leave it to others.

The ram symbolizes energy, initiative, and aggression; Aries can be blunt and to the point, often ramming their ideas down other people’s throats. As well, they’re known for their tempers, which can be explosive, although an outburst will likely fizzle out as quickly as it starts.

Famous Aries include: Adolph Hitler, Vincent van Gogh, Leonardo da Vinci, Charlie Chaplin, Sigmund Freud, Niccolo Machiavelli, Elton John, Mathew Broderick, Robert Downey Jr., Heath Ledger, and Quentin Tarantino.
