As the first of the Fire signs and the sign that marks the start of the astrological year, Aries the Ram leaps into action, all guns blazing! And your style is very much 'shoot first, ask questions later'. You can be quite hot-headed and are often restless and fidgety especially, it has to be said, when others persist in talking about themselves when you'd much rather talk about you! As befits your sign, you like to be first, whether it's competing in a race, getting that promotion at work or acquiring the latest gadget, fast car or must-have handbag. But that's the superficial side of Aries. Your get-stuck-in style makes you an excellent leader and a real motivator, plus you excel at original and even fearless approaches to tasks that others wouldn't even attempt. Mars makes you sexy and passionate, so burn off some of that excess energy and aggression with exercise and sport. Also, do try to finish what you start.
