Aries
Personal
Openness, enthusiasm and individualism are the main
traits of the Arians. They are outspoken, alert,
quick to act and speak. They prefer to speak than to listen. Arians are
ambitious, with lots of drive and a strong will to lead. They are poor
followers. Fiercely independent, they usually take the side of the
underdog in any controversy. They are champions of lost causes and
losing battles. This trait is due to a strong belief in their own
abilities to turn any situation around.
Arian values are more intellectual than spiritual.
Primarily people of action, they
demonstrate little subtlety or cunningness. Frank and amiable, they
make quick decisions, and grasp ideas very quickly. They are also quick
to anger, Arians are known for their impatience, and are prone to be
arrogant.
Arians have a strong self image, the ability to
think fast and size up most situations in an instant. Arians
calculate risks with lightning speed and make decisions accordingly. An
adage that fits the Arian well is 'A straight line is the shortest
distance between two points'. Arians don't waste time and energy
beating around the bush, they come straight to the point, and leave the
bodies where they fall.
Positive
Arians are known to be generous
people. They give of their time, effort, money and sympathies. They
have both moral and physical courage and will give support to anyone
they believe is being treated unfairly, or to any cause they deem
worthy.They are creative, open hearted, and high spirited
Main positive traits: Initiating,
pioneering, eager, courageous, independent, dynamic.
Negative
high
energy
output is cause for great anxiety in some Arians. Sometimes, this
anxiety is so intense and unmanageable that it becomes a cause to
abandon a venture out of fear of failure. They then redirect their
energy into something new. Another flaw in the Arian makeup is a fear
of rejection. Rejection is near the top of their list of fears. If the
Arian is not certain of acceptance, to avoid rejection, they do the
rejecting first. The best defense is a good offense.
Main negative traits : Quick-tempered, violent,
impatient, egotistical, intolerant
Profession
In their
professions, Arians need to take charge. The routine or monotonous was
not meant for them. Their originality, imagination and great mental and
physical energy require work where their can utilize all of these
traits. They prefer to work on their own or direct others. They can
communicate and form public opinion. Journalism, publicity, advertising, publishing,
radio and TV are natural professions for them to prevail in.
The military is another
field that is ripe for Arians with its many leadership
possibilities. Law enforcement is
another commanding vocation that is attractive to Arians. In a similar
capacity Aries make excellent surgeons and surgical nurses. In the arts
and entertainment field, Arians also do very well. They are endowed
with so many valuable assets; a keen intellect, initiative, intuition,
inventiveness, energy, leadership qualities and enthusiasm that they'll
shine in any profession that they set their sights on.
Advise for Arians
Arians have to watch their
impatience, lack of thrift, and a domineering attitude. Their
ego also requires more than a fair share of continual approval and
acclaim. Arians thrive on challenge, and they truly believe they can do
anything - so they have a tendency to bite off more than they can chew.
Acquiring patience, persistence and perseverance will go a long way in
helping them to make the most advantage of their great gifts..
Origins
in
Mythology
Throughout the ancient
Mediterranean region, the Ram figure was associated with the
constellation Aries or Arietis. Ares was the Greek god of war and pestilence. He was the son of Zeus and Hera,
consort of Aphrodite. The Romans associated Ares with Mars, the enemy
of the tyrants and defender of the just. Originally an agricultural god
associated with the affairs of spring, Mars assimilated many of the
characteristics of Ares since battles were often coordinated at this
same time of year.
The son of Nepele, Phrixus, was falsely accused of
ravishing Biadice. For this, he was condemned to death, but was rescued
by a golden ram, sent by the god Mercury. Phrixus escaped safely, and
at the ram's request, sacrificed the animal to the god Zeus to honor
the initial offering. For his courage, the ram's likeness was set into
the heavens
