Aries

Aries opens the zodiac, and it shows: cardinal fire ruled by Mars, wired for firsts — first move, first word, first through every door. Aries energy is direct, competitive and disarmingly honest; it would rather try and lose than wait and wonder. What looks like impulsiveness is usually just a shorter distance between wanting and doing than most signs ever allow themselves.

Aries in love

Aries falls fast and courts openly — the chase is not a game here, it's sincerity at full speed. This sign needs a co-adventurer, not an audience: someone with their own fire who can be caught up with, not simply caught. Won properly, Aries is fiercely loyal and surprisingly tender; the flame only gutters when life together turns into a waiting room.
