Approach With Caution
Aries, first sign of the zodiac, resides in the House of Self. Astrology textbooks describe the Ram as a charming, enthusiastic, natural-born leader who gleefully rushes through life with tremendous joie de vivre. The truth is this bossy, egotistical motor mouth is as self-absorbed as a two-year old, and has a Me-complex the size of Texas.
In Aries, Mars gives courage, determination, energy, passion, and ambition. He also bestows temperament, ego and impulsive action. Just like Yosemite Sam, the typical Ram barrels through life daring anyone to cross his, or her path. Be unlucky enough to get in the way and you'll suffer a red-faced temper tantrum. Jumping up and down is optional. The worst thing you can do to an Aries is ignore them, the way you would ignore a cranky toddler who's in dire need of a nap.
Aries are reactive, not reasonable. By refusing to think before they act, Rams often ruin their chances for happiness by making wild assumptions without gathering all the facts. Being born without the humility-gene has negated their ability to admit mistakes. Argue with one and you'll suffer a barrage of irrational, angry shouting. Prove they are wrong and they will react like that toddler who says, ?Am not,? then shrugs his baby shoulders and walks away.
If You Love One?Aries Man
Arrogant. Pompous. Vain. Cruel. Verbose. Show-off. I've been called all of these. Of course, I am.
Howard Cosell (March 25)
Passionate, idealistic and sentimental, the Aries man is part hero, part child, no matter what his age. He's as friendly as a puppy, downright fearless, and rather like one of those weighted clowns children punch. You can knock him down, but he will always bounce back. And, for as long as he loves you, he will be faithful, sexy and attentive. If you feel weak in the knees, make sure there's a sofa handy to fall on, because, by the time you've swooned, this Romeo will have moved on to his next conquest.
Aries men are in love with love. The appeal is in the art of romance and the thrill of the chase, not your charming smile.
Some astrologers compare an Aries man to a knight in shining armor. However, you are just as likely to get run down by his charging steed, as scooped up in a pair of loving arms. Sir Lancelot may have been bold and honest, but he was also a royal pain in the ass, all Aries traits. His ego ruined a kingdom when, in his eagerness to run his hand up Guinevere's dress he conveniently forgot his vow to King Arthur. In Lance's point of view he was a hero, and to an Aries man, his point of view is the only one that counts.
The Ram fears mediocrity more than death. He would rather be the biggest jerk in town than just another anonymous working slob. He is subjective, bossy, and has a caustic wit he flings with careless abandon. He takes pride in being more self-centered than Scorpio and more obtuse than Taurus. He's sure he's right. Especially when he is wrong.
Male Rams come in two types. Bold, brash and ready for action, or shy, quiet and ready for action. Don't be fooled by the shy type. He may come on all awe shucks and toe shuffle, like Aries Dennis Quaid, but under that poker face, or enigmatic smile, his brain synapses are firing at 1,000 rpms, concentrating on

"the Truth hurts..."

Funny saying that because the truth is the only way of progress and progress is never bad...?

I think once we become aware of our true selves we will learn that it is the ego that hurts...not the truth...!!!

I did like that piece...where did you get that from TRUTH? Can you find the one about pisces and post it on the pisces board...?

And Virgo (raises hand).. I can take it.

I call I get to meet Espernaut first 🙂

lol Poker? And I'm confused.. What about meeting?
Freebird, freebird.. we never talk. Tell me you're a Skinnard fan and have named yourself from the tune of same name.

Dear Mr. Espernaut,

I see that you have lived in La. and have your moon sign in Aries. No wonder you can handle us girls 🙂 I used to live in Bossier City for a couple of years..a long, long time ago.

I have listened to Skinnard and love the song, Freebird but that is not why I chose that name. I am a free spirited girl and birds represent the "spirit". Are still going to talk with me?

Hmm.. Because I live in LA or Moon in Aries? lol Really, I'm not sure the Venus thing is totally appliable. The more I read @ astrology, the more confounded I get. I'm reading your Descendant sign (for men) indicates the "how" you want to interact with women. I ThInK mine is Cancer. So, I want someone warm & cuddly. NOT motherly.. (I guess thats the extreme.) Also could mean woman with a bit more marbling' on their frame. (That's true.)
About Bossier City, I've been thru there, en route to Shreveport. Those two cities are actually growing together. Hmm. There'd definitely be more to do there, then here. 😉

BTW I do like the name. You wear it well.

Yes I would like TRUTH to post on the Scorpio board as well, if that wouldn't be too much trouble.

Wow.. Found this tew, without any tribbles. Impressive.
(sshhh kaaaa shhhh kaaa) Really, really bad Darth Vader impression. Ok. if you're reading this, you know I'm checking the boards. Metcha back at the original in a moment.

lol

AH durrie the ego of no ego. words of shaboom

Let's see.. I've seen definitions of Truth, Justice and the American Way.. all in separate posts & spans of days.

The Truth Hurts. Ok, I think I got it.

To thine own Self be True. Awgh damn, back to square one.

The Truth shall Set You Free. Thank goodness.

The Truth, The Whole Truth & Nothing But The Truth.

The first one.. is beggin' to beaten down by other people's beliefs of what "you" "should" be .. according to them. The next three, refer to one finding their own & the possible benefits gained one take the time to do so.

Right or wrong ("My" right or wrong) I think I'll stick with my truth, and sift through everyone esle's for those little gems that benefit me.

That said, I STILL want the Virgo Slammer' version of the initial post for comic relief.

Oops, I take it back.. Number 4 is suspect. And Subjective.

Addendum: A shame, just read no more Truth's re other signs. Still.. it was good. :0

WHY I'm obsessed with the aries:

You are an Aries
You need a cause, a mission, a battle in which
you can trounce the enemy.
The slightest whiff of a challenge and out comes
that old suit of armour,
kept clean and polished in case of emergency.
Passionate conviction,
courage, bravery, vision, a touch of fanaticism -
all these things belong to
the Aries soul. You just don't feel right unless
there's an underdog to
champion. If the world ever enters a truly
utopian society, every Aries will
be in a sorry state, because you live and breathe
for the great battle.

Aries is a fire sign, and all fire signs tend to
mythologise life and
themselves. Does it sound a little fast, furious
and theatrical for ordinary
day-to-day living? Well, you don't really believe
in "ordinary life" anyway.
Admittedly, there are some rather sad Aries
people wandering about who have
lost their fighting spirit. This is usually
because early experiences have
made them frightened of the power - and
consequences - of their fiercely
competitive spirit. Every Aries has to learn to
cope with other people's
protests. What, compromise? You? Give up the
chase? Never. Abandon the new
idea, the new project just because someone else
doesn't like it? Don't be
silly.

It's not that you're unsophisticated. Some of the
most polished,
intellectually adroit people are born under
Aries. But deep in your soul,
the great medieval romantic sagas aren't over.
For Aries, love means
princesses rescuing the poor and disadvantaged.
And noble princesses don't
love meanly or half-heartedly. Sometimes,
however, you love the shining
ideal more than the actual person.

For you, half the joy of love is the pursuit. It
might be said that, for
many Ariens, love IS the pursuit, rather than the
"and they lived happily
ever after" part. Once that trophy is hanging on
the wall, it starts looking
a little unexciting. Some Ariens follow this
pattern all their lives, in
their relationships and in their work. It's what
you can't have that's so,
maddeningly desirable.

Of course you're capable of loyalty and a
constant relationship. It's just
that you get a little fidgety if the relationship
never provides any
mystery, challenge or conflict. And despite your
rather insistent,
I'm-right-and-that's-that attitude, you're much
more likely to stick with a
partner who can't be dominated.

You generally behave with honour toward friends
and enemies alike. You can
be generous and loyal, and you'll rarely stoop to
pettiness. You can
antagonise people because you can be rash and
impulsive and, occasionally,
stunningly insensitive. If you're really showing
your fiery colours, you can
also make other people envious, because you're
just a bit larger than life.

You can be very, very impatient. And you don't
suffer fools gladly. In fact
you don't suffer gladly at all, unless it's noble
suffering in the name of a
cause. Like all the fire signs, you're a romantic
at heart. There in lies a highly practical binary to
this nature. The ram posesses a capability of
profound thought and considerable tenderness.

If you can't find a crisis, you'll create one.
And you can be mischievous,
too, goading smug people and staid situations
until the whole thing bursts
into a conflagration. Naturally you're out the
door first, so you never get
burned - well, almost never. Of course you need a
steady, sensible partner,
but even more, you need one who has an
independent life and independent
interests. In other words, a partner who refuses
to be

"There's a sensible, sane
feeling about this man."

heHEEHEhEHe....

Truth,
Thank You. I mean that. Was unprepared for all of it. And.. I feel like a deer in the headlights.. (grin).

You're an earth sign? Did I just luck into this article you may have had.. already? Obssessed with Aires, prior posting, understandable, that. I'm seeing the tip of the iceberg with an Aries I work with in similiar fashion.

Please do not throw peanuts at the naked man....

When you enter a relationship with an Aries, you will realize that "life is a daring adventure or nothing at all." We are having a passionate love affair with life.

Passion with a capital "P". My female Aries buddy trashed her (used to be) and ex's mutual apartment. Gouged holes in the wall by thrown objects. (He really screwed up.. didn't know what he had.)

Amazing how all Aries are so different. I could not and have never been driven to that extreme. I will just take myself out of the situation and look forward to the next and better adventure. 🙂

I'm half and half. Betrayal plays into the above situation. Much time invested and belief it was now all a lie. Hmm, better put, he hurt places in her she hadn't known she had.

Ouch....well, that just might ignite the fire in the Aries Woman. Does he own a fire extinguisher?

Doubtful. (Ha!) They've mutated into oil & vinegar.. He's a slime (my words) and she's pretty sour about it. Interestingly, she's cultivated a friendship with another guy who's nothing like the first, and is finding nothing there. (Big Shock, that?)

I want to meet a Leo man...like Rhett Butler. I want to be swept off my feet.

Now, I must change from "want" (as this states in the future and I will not get it) to I HAVE a Leo man and he sweeps me off my feet. 🙂

P.S. I do not have all those nasty qualities that were listed...I have "tamed" myself. Tough road but I did it. 🙂

I'm back... You think mebbe Scarlett was an Aries, just maybe?

Did you know?

Margaret Mitchell - Author of Gone With The Wind was also an Astrologer. Yes it's true, Margaret Mitchell developed her Gone with the Wind characters based on Zodiac signs of each respective character.

Aries - Scarlett O'Hara

Taurus - Scarlett's Father, and Tara the Plantation

Gemini: Prissy and Aunt Pitty Pat

Cancer: Melanie (Ashley's Wife)

Leo: Rhett Butler

Virgo: Scarlett's Mother

Libra: Belle Wattling (The Madam and friend of Rhett Butler)

Scorpio: Mammy

Sagittarius: Bonnie (daughter of Rhett and Scarlett)

Capricorn: Ashley

Aquarius: Mr Kennedy, Scarlett's 2nd husband and Ashley's sister India Wilkes

Pisces: Scarlett's sisters and Scarlett's 1st husband.

The Ashley Wilkes Plantation named 12 Oaks after the 12 Zodiac Signs.

Wuff! That was unexpected.. Ashley was a Capricorn tho? Was he that cold and aloof (or am I right on that count?)

Yes Esper...according to the above info. he was. He did have this deep sense of passion about him that Scarlett was able to sense and feel. This is what the Aries woman needs. A man to offer her stability, warm hugs, and loyalty. Didn't he own a lumber store? There is a clue for you. Cappies are builders...love working with wood. They believe in a strong foundation both in work and home.

Esper....I like how you said, "wuff! That was unexpected..." When you are around an Aries....one must expect the unexpected. We are the creators of unexpected moments. 🙂

I believe ya. It seemed I'd just posted my bit when you answered. I have to assume you really liked the book, and hopefully the movie. There's a long interesting story about who was finally picked to star as Scarlett. (That's the Learning Channel for you..) HollyWood Golden Era.

Freebird: This just for interest.. My Aries friend is being sued for damages done to ex's apartment. I was mistaken however, it was her brother who actually did the damage. She's countersuing (or says she will) and goes to court Today.

I was being sued at one time and I won. Some guy thought he had one over on me because I was recently divorced and vulnerable. He had no idea that he had encountered an Aries. We NEVER give up. And, when we know we are right, we will fight to prove it.

I learned so much about court and sticking up for my beliefs...I think I may go into law someday.

I wish the best for your Aries friend...I bet she is scared...let me know the results.

Got the results. She'll be fined, that is all. She was very concerned about how bad could bad get..etc. Her mind's clear but the pocketbook's going to suffer for awhile. End.

Truth I would love for you to do an analysis on Sagittarians. PLEASE PLEASE, I know you love begging and attention so just do it!!
