The sign of the Ram is graced by the element of Fire, and if you were to use one word to describe Aries, it could easily be heat. People born under this sign have a passion and red-hot energy, which often proves irresistible. It's certainly never boring! Aries likes to initiate relationships, and the role of seducer comes to them easily.  This sizzling romance dance will only work on those strong enough to stay in the game, because Aries wants a partner who can go toe-to-toe with them, whether it's over lunch or under the covers.  The Ram is possessed of a great physical, a sense of adventure, is wildly flirtatious and loves to play. Flirting is a pleasant approach toward connecting with others, but if flirting is not feasible, fighting will do just as well.

Astrologers liken those born under Aries to the season of spring itself, a time of awakening, emergence, shedding of restraints, impulses towards life. Arians are vital, instinctual and young - the zodiac's perpetual children, youths in search of identity. As such, Rams are likely to be joyful, dynamic, assertive, outspoken and brave. They celebrate life. The frenzied joy in the paintings of Arian Vincent van Gogh expresses the Rams' passionate love of life.  Enormous energy is Arian's great gift. Channeling it outward, past self-absorption and toward enlivening the world around them, is the great challenge confronting Rams.

    Arians hate constraint, boredom, apathy, and ambiguity. Nuance escapes them; shades of grey confound them. They are most comfortable with emphatic contrasts - black and white, yes and no, good and bad.  Wary of joining groups and following leaders, they are also quintessential individualists, and they care deeply for individual rights. Astrologers deem it no accident that the Declaration of Independence was written by an Arian, Thomas Jefferson.
