ARIES THE RAM
Aries has always been looked upon by astrologers as a fiery and masculine sign. thus, the Aries woman tends to dominate a relationship, to take the lead in joint activities, and to be both boisterous and extrovert. similarly, the Aries man is outgoing, confident of his own virility and, on occasion, the archetypal male chauvinist.
success in career matters is as important to the Arian personality as it is in his or her emotional life. The Arian wants to get to the top and he or she is usually very good at doing so in any field which calls for plenty of energetic activity, physical or mental. the typical Arian tends to be dominated in his or her emotional life by a need to express a burning sexual drive. this can lead to an emotional selfishness which, at its worst, can amount to an arrogant disregard for the inner needs and feelings of partners and close associates.
often, however, the sexual egotism of the Arian is tempered by a more romantic side; this largely prevents him or her from indulging in selfishness which would inflict emotional trauma on others.
"choleric" is the word which would have been used by the physicians of three centuries ago to express the typical Arian psychology, in other words, "fiery", pugnacious and, on occasion, extremely bad-tempered and dangerously impulsive.
the choleric psychology of the Arian often begins to find expression in early childhood, sometimes in temper tantrums, more often in a precocious adventurousness and spirit of enquiry. in later life these childish characteristics take the form of an "outgoing practically" - a concern with the nuts and bolts aspects of reality rather than its theoretical concepts. in other words, the Arian is concerned with tactics rather than strategy. this does not mean that the Arian is not intellectual; but Arian intellectualism is rarely divorced from the world of everyday things.
the Arian judges others by their deeds, not their words; is concerned with the effects of others action, not their purposes; and is determined to influenced what actually happens, not analyse it. the Arian wants to control reality - not to be controlled by it or to understand it. careers which are not in some way concerned with material reality provide little satisfaction to the Arian. his or her job must be concerned with the control of natural things and/or other people.
manipulation, whether of things of people, is an Arian characteristic. in other words, they bare good at moulding clients to the Arian pattern and setting them on the right path - in Arian terms. the pure Arian, for the same reason, makes a better leader than a follower; he or she is not an ideal team worker because Arians are incapable of understanding the need for self expression in anyone but themselves.
in general, Arians make better innovators than administrators. they are better at starting a project off than keeping it running; better at - metaphorically speaking - launching a ship than sailing it. in work, as in all aspects of their lives, they are forceful, finding it difficult to cope tactfully with either active opposition or the passive opposition of inertia.
