The Aries Personality Type

The Aries Personality Type

by Brigid Bishop

Now here’s a real firecracker!

Aries is the very first sign of the zodiac, really kicks things off in a big way, sort of like the “Big Bang Theory” of Astrology.

As the first sign of the Zodiac, it is also considered the “infant” of the zodiac wheel.  More “young souls” are found under this fiery and impulsive sign than under any other sign of the zodiac.  Here is where our souls begin to learn our karmic lessons, frequently being one of our first three incarnations.

Both males and females of this assertive sign seem to emerge from a metaphysical fountain of youth.  Even when they are octogenarians they still seem to have a childlike exuberance about them.

Aries is ruled by Mars, a very energetic planet indeed, even impulsive, so expect your Arian to be a bit of a go-getter in all areas of life.

Mars is a very war-like planet and as such influences those born under its’ rule in a way that makes them literally seek out and destroy competition and opposing forces.  This is someone that you will want “on your side” when facing difficulties, without a doubt, and can make a fearsome opponent if on the other side of the battle field.

Aries of both sexes tend to live “out loud”, why hide what you are doing?  If you don’t believe in living life your way then change the way you are living, don’t hide it!  Aries will be very straightforward with you whether you like it or not!

Aries Men truly do believe that there are heroes and villains in this world, and they want to be your hero.  They want to be your “Knight in Shining Armor” and expect your praise and admiration to be very generously given to them for being that hero to you.  An Aries Man is brave to begin with, but will also be the man who would give all he has to ensure your happiness if he really loves you and feels your love for him.

Aries Women are just as strong and fiery as their male counterparts and have a hard time being a passive feminine energy, they are “take action” kind of women and will make things happen, whether you want them to or not!  She demands your attention and is the kind of woman who, upon entering a room, gives off a “Regal Bearing” that draws many male admirers to her.  Although she enjoys receiving attention, she is loyal to those she loves.

The down-side of an Arian personality which may be difficult for some other signs to digest, is that true to their placement on the Zodiac Wheel, they generally do have a “Me First!” attitude in life.  They like to be in charge and they are very impulsive by nature.

Due to the Aries sign being childlike in exuberance, they frequently may fail to be a good judge of character and may actually find themselves hurt when those they have chosen to trust in error hurt or betray them, they just don’t comprehend disloyalty.

Being first in your life makes them feel good.

With Aries of both sexes it is IMPERATIVE (did I write that in all caps), that you treat your relationship with them as if you never had a prior experience that comes close to comparing to the connection you have with them.  NEVER (did I use all caps) discuss your exes with them.  It will make them feel like they are a rerun or not fresh and new, and it hurts them, they must feel that they are first.

When dating an Aries of either sex it is important that you experience things for the FIRST TIME with THEM and let them KNOW IT.  It can be something as simple as trying a new cuisine or visiting someplace you never were before, but make an effort to keep your relationship with an Aries full of FIRSTS and you will have a very pleasant experience indeed!

*Please keep in mind that although the “Arian” Personality Type communicated in this blog hits on some key personality traits of the Sun Sign Aries, every person is different and an entire chart must be analyzed which will weaken or strengthen the Arian traits in the Aries you know.  Also be aware that wherever Aries is in YOUR chart is where you will display these types of behaviours.  I do provide Astrology Charts through Keen and you can Keen Mail me to purchase one if you are interested in finding out what makes someone tick.

Around The Wheel With Aries

Around The Wheel with Aries

(Compatibility Profiles)

By Brigid Bishop

Here are some basic “Rules of Thumb” for Arian Compatibility Profiles.  Of course, these are based on Sun Sign only, in order to truly plot compatibility it is best to have a professional compatibility profile done between the two charts, but this is a general description of the core energies to be expected.

Aries Male and Aries Female

Wow!  Hope you live near a fire station, who is going to douse those flames of passion?  Here is a combination that will burn up all the energy around them like a great Super Nova in the sky!  Both parties are so full of life, energy and enthusiasm that a room will actually get hotter when they walk in together.  They can love together very well, but the passion carries over into their disagreements as well, that’s when you will need the local fire department to be on call!  He will be her hero and she will be his heroine, they will vacillitate between putting each other first and fighting over being first!  Balance of the elements of Earth and Air in the charts will stabilize this explosive couple.

Aries Male and Taurus Female

The Aries Male and the Taurean Female are a blend of the elements of Fire and Earth.  Earth, as you know, consists of fire at its core, so the match can be very complimentary if the Aries Male appreciates the sensuality and good taste of the Taurean female.  The Taurus female will have no problems idolizing her  fiery Knight in Shining Armor and this will make the Aries Male feel good about himself, and her.  He has no problems being her protector, but his need to go off on adventures may be a little uncomfortable for this loving lady.  She brings him stability, he brings her the passion she craves.

Aries Female and Taurus Male

The Aries Female may well prove to be quite a challenge for the stodgy and masculine Bull Boy.  She doesn’t need his protection, heck, she’ll protect him, but she loves his earthy sensuality and the passion it brings up within her.  If the Taurean Male can keep himself from becoming “proprietary” over this feisty woman, they will get along well, if he tries to reign her in or keep her at home too long, she will simply vanish!  The Aries Female arouses the Taurean Male’s passions in ways that confound and confuse him, she challenges him, and the Taurean Male makes the Aries Female feel just a tad bit “girly”.

Aries Male and Gemini Female                

The Aries Male will be genuinely fascinated by the Gemini Female and will be hard-pressed to keep up with her acrobatic mind as she switches from subject to subject and twin to twin, but he loves a challenge!  These two can communicate very well together, but the Gemini Female is more of an “idea” person and the Aries Male is an “action” kind of guy.  She doesn’t believe in Knights in Shining Armor, so the Aries Male will try to prove himself to her, with valor, over and over again.  The Gemini Female challenges the ego of the Arian Male, but he will be true to himself and do his best to convince her that he IS the greatest guy on earth.  Her Air whips his Fire into a frenzy, but she must be sure that she doesn’t blow that fire out by being a little bit too cold to him.  Give him some attention already girl!

 Aries Female and Gemini Male

Unlike the reverse pairing of these signs, biologically, this makes for a wonderful match!  The Gemini Male, being duplicitous in nature, has absolutely no problems with the Fiery Girl’s masculine energies.  He likes a woman who will take charge.  He as an innate knack of making her feel like she is always first in his life, and she LIKES that.  The Aries Female finds the intellectual Gemini fascinating and spurs the relationship forward with enthusiasm, of course SHE wants to be the first one to take him skydiving!

Aries Male and Cancer Female

The Aries Male appreciates the nurturing essence of the Cancer Female, being the first son of the Zodiac makes him warm to her maternal instincts.  The Aries Male will cherish and protect the feminine Crab and make her feel safe and secure, she loves the idea of being his “damsel in distress” and will appreciate his rescue of her.  The Aries Male feels much the man around this loving damsel and shows his appreciation for her validating his masculinity by loving her in a hot and steamy passionate way.  Water and Fire can destroy each other or they can create a steamy and sensational pair, with these two, it is usually the latter.

Aries Female and Cancer Male

This mix is not as favorable as its’ biological opposite as although the Cancer Male is a feminine energy Sun Sign, he is still incarnated as a man and finds her masculine energy frustrating at times.  The Cancer Male is one who wants to give the Arian Female “first time” experiences, however, he may well make her unhappy by already having shared those experiences with someone else, SHE WANTS TO BE FIRST!  The Aries Female is not big into being “nurtured” by her man, as a masculine energy entity she wants a man that she can respect, so hopefully there will be more Air or Fire in their charts to balance the situation so it doesn’t become too difficult.

Aries Male and Leo Female

Fight fire with fire!  Wow!  Power couple coming into the room!  Clear the way!  They both need to be the center of attention, and if they get more attention as a pair than as individuals, well, then, GREAT!  This is a happy and fun pairing.  The Aries Male may feel like the Leo Female is stealing his thunder from time to time, but she is gracious and generous and will share the limelight with him.  Passionate?  Yes.  End of story.

Aries Female and Leo Male

The Leo Male knows just how to make the Female Aries feel special.  She needs to special.  He loves her drive and enthusiasm and feels that it compliments his own special energy of fire.  He will try to dominate her, but heck, it’s going to be fun because it will be an ongoing challenge, she will never concede her power over to him, but they look at it as a game and thoroughly enjoy challenging each other.  This couple has so much fun due to the Aries Female being a perpetual child at heart that the noble Lion just has to join in the fun!

Aries Male and Virgo Female

The Aries Male and the Virgo Female make a good energy match, although the Virgo Female may bring the Aries Male down a little bit if she exercises her Mercurial tongue in a critical way on him.  Aries Men cannot appreciate criticism, no matter how constructive, very well.  So if she remembers to lavish him with praise and appreciate his “spark” they can get along just fine.  The Aries Male finds the Virgo Female intriguing, he wonders, “Is she too good to be true?”.

Aries Female and Virgo Male

The Aries Female is fiery and active while the Virgo Male is analytical and critical.  The two may find little common ground at first.  The Virgo Male does have the ability to make the Aries Female feel that she is “first” in all things, but he takes a little of the wind out of her sails when he expects her to be more “grounded” here on Earth.  If the charts have more positive aspects within them, they can make a good pair, he being practical and her with the drive and ambition, but it’s a bit “iffy”.

Aries Male and Libra Female

The Aries Male finds the Libra Female a beautiful feminine challenge.  The polar opposition of their energies serves well to create a good balance between his Fire and her Air.  She is ethereal to him, like a muse, and he is a romance novel come to life for her.  He must remember that despite all of her feminine charms, she is intellectual at the core, and he must keep that intellectual connection burning brightly to keep her interest.  She must remember that he is an action packed gentlemen and she must come down out of the clouds of her daydreams in order to do things with him rather than just dream about them.

Aries Female and Libra Male

The Aries Female and the Libra Male have a bit more of a challenge than their biological reversed pairing.  The polar opposition between these two may cause the Aries Female to feel he spends too much time weighing out options when her natural tendency is to act quickly and go with her gut.  The sensitive Libra Male may find her energy a bit overwhelming, but fascinating all the same.  With positive aspects between planetary positions they may find equilibrium, but they certainly challenge each other!

Aries Male and Scorpio Female

The Aries Male will find the Scorpion Female quite sensual and ethereal.  He will enjoy her deep passionate nature, as long as she keeps it focused on him.  The Scorpio Female will love the youthful exuberance of the Arian Male, but will need him to be consistent in his attentions to her or her interest will wane.  He needs her attention, but she needs him to be nearby to receive that attention for both to be happy.

Aries Female and Scorpio Male

The Aries Female challenges the Scorpio Male.  Her fire and energy draw out his passion and his sensuality, she challenges him and he is not one to walk away from a challenge.  The possessive tendencies of the Scorpion Male may put her off he does not allow her enough space, but he knows how to keep her fires burning at home so she won’t need to go adventuring off without him too often.  This is a passionate connection and other aspects that are positive are needed to keep that passion positive in tone.

Aries Male and Sagittarius Female

Fire! Fire!  FIRE!  Wow!  This is a power couple combination.  She will EXPECT him to be her Knight in Shining armor, her hero and he will do his best to live up to it!  She will call him on the carpet, out loud and directly whenever he is not behaving like the hero he is meant to be.  Their arguments will be fast, loud and direct, but their makeup sessions will be just as heated.  She drives him to success and he protects her from the backlash her honesty sometimes creates.

Aries Female and Sagittarius Male   

The Sagittarian Male’s need for adventure, travel and independence will make the Aries Female feel enthralled!  She will want to tag along on every adventure he can dream up.  These two will travel well together and will enjoy a myriad of activities, from boating, hiking and camping, to parasailing and mountain climbing, to skiing the Alps, whatever!  She’s in!  This adventuresome duo will see the world together and always be happy about doing so!

Aries Male and Capricorn Female

The Aries Male and Capricorn Female work from two entirely different energies.  He is Fire and she is Earth, she will help to stabilize him and show him how to attain his goals and he will teach her how to live it up a little.  The Aries Male will be quite the “handful” for the Capricorn Female, but she will admire his masculinity and feel that she can take a little more risk in life when she has him to back her up.

Aries Female and Capricorn Male

The Goat Man may very well have a hard time keeping up with the Aries Female.  His style is slow and determined and plodding whereas her style is more of rushing in and grabbing the bull (or the goat) by the horns!  They will both reach the top of the mountain, but she will probably get there first and grab him by his horns and pull him the rest of the way up!  This will challenge the Goat.  He will get frustrated when he wants to protect her and she tells him that it is SHE that is protecting HIM.  The Aries Female will be well schooled to work on her feminine energy utilization to make this pairing work.

Aries Male and Aquarius Female

The Aries Male may think the Aquarian Female is just a little bit cold and that she needs to take her nose out of that book and away from that microscope to enjoy the world around her.  She may not take kindly to him trying to rescue her, she is quite capable of battling her own villains thank you, but the Aquarius Female will appreciate the intention just the same.  These two challenge each other for power when coupled and unless there are other positive aspects between them, they can become adversarial rather quickly, her Air intellectualizes just as rapidly as his Fire takes action and this can lead to impulsive interactions and verbalizations between them.

Aries Female and Aquarius Male

She may feel the need to rescue the Aquarian Male from a life of boredom and inaction and he may need to teach her that analysis can be a fun thing.  These two actually match well because she will bring the Aquarian Male out of the library and into the fire and he will help her to achieve her fiery goals by taking a studied approach to coaching her.  He is more willing than any other sign to allow HER to be the one wearing the shining armor and she likes that.  These two are quite capable of pulling off a full role reversal in their relationship and being very happy about it!

Aries Male and Pisces Female

The Aries Male may confuse our sensitive Ms. Fish.  He is her Knight in Shining Armor, but she doesn’t understand why he has to go out and slay dragons when she is here dreaming about him and waiting for him.  She will build a loving and nurturing environment for him to recharge in, but she may not understand that his energies are nearly boundless and she should try to get out there and adventure alongside him once in a while.  The Aries Male will love the Pisces Female’s way of building his dreams into reality, manifesting them for him, but he will still want to go out and conquer the world anyway.  These two are a good match if he has enough in his chart to stabilize for periods of time to give her the attention she needs and she needs to take off the rose colored glasses once in a while and see that he is a mortal.

Aries Female and Pisces Male

The Aries Female is quite capable of protecting the sensitive Pisces Male and her belief in heroes and villains will make the Pisces Male protective of her as well.  She has the energy and the drive to help the Pisces Male make his dreams reality and the Pisces Male can focus her Arian energy into achieving her goals as well.  The Aries Female may at times worry our sensitive Mr. Fish when she is off adventuring on her own, but he will trust her and she will love him for it.
