Aries is the first sign of the zodiac. It is an odd, male and movable sign. It is of bright red colour, is of fiery element/nature and should be considered violent. It is of short ascension. It rules hills and forests. Aries is strong during night time and its prakriti/temperament is bilious/pitta.
Aries is governed by Mars. It is the first sign of the zodiac and hence represents the head of the Kal Purush. It is fiery sign and also a movable one and hence it denotes such qualities in the persons it governs by way of Lagna or Rashi.
There is quite a bit of initiative that comes from the Aries types. Mars is a planet of war. In war, the qualities that are most useful are a sense of aggression, meticulous planning and yet quick thinking on the ground. There is a sense of competition. Such qualities can then be attributed to persons due to the influence of Mars that governs the sign. Therefore, Aries types are aggressive in their approach towards others. They also are very competitive. They are independent, but they are not the leaders. Aries types can plan well and are very well suited to micro level planning due to attention to detail.
At an emotional level, an Aries person is quite warm, but never overly expressive. The emotion and excitement is not shown as an outwardly behavior. It may be difficult to read such a person and understand what is going on his/her head. They may be very frank if asked for their opinion and may appear to be insensitive. Although I mentioned Aries types to be a good planners and researchers, but a lot of what Aries type does is also based on desire and impulse. Aries type persons have quite a bit of pride and air about them. They are likely to think more about themselves and less about others. Aries is the child of the zodiac. A kid is going to cry and wail if he does not get food and will throw tantrums if his wish is not taken care of. Aries types would love outdoor activities with a sense of adventure.
On the positive side, Aries types can focus their mind on important activities and use their razor sharp intellect. On the negative side, such persons can be too self-absorbed, and can come out as selfish, shrewd and scheming.
If you are an Aries type, learn to care about others and understand that the world does not revolve around you. You are a part of the team and can go ahead in life only so much on your own. Hence you need help from others.
If you are not the Aries type and need to learn how to deal with one, you should begin to respect the sharp intellect and instincts. Give them space and let them come up with a plan on their own. They are not above scrutiny and criticism, but it needs to be handled carefully.
