Aries

This is the FIRST sign of the zodiac and these people know that fact and its implications somewhere deep inside themselves. They want to be the first, by being pioneers and the best in whatever they do. Thus they relish a challenge, especially if it involves taking on something exciting or new; Aries loves to be original. These people can be crusaders, even taking this too far and getting into conflict. There is a need to be aggressive, to fight for something, to break out of anything restrictive and dull. If Aries doesn't have a cause, a purpose in their lives, they can become destructive in their frustration.

Aries people are very open, direct, impulsive and naive. They like newness - the new stuff they just bought, new situations, new people. At times they can be egomaniacs, oblivious to their effect on others, but beneath that bluster lurks some childish vulnerability. Other times they are hugely inspiring and great fun to be around.

Physically Aries is connected with the head. Thus there is a lot of mental energy, even headaches. Being a fire sign Aries demands the person be physically active. Note how the list includes many who have taken on lonely and/or very individualistic pursuits. Van Gogh's life was lived with the burning passion of this fire sign. Endlessly searching, he eventually found the originality in he was seeking through his individualistic development as an artist. David Blaine locked himself away from society to be the first man to carry out a starvation stunt in central London. Spike Milligan pioneered a completely new form of comedy. All classic Aries endeavours.

Example Chart: Marlon Brando
in


Always a powerful presence, Brando studied and popularised 'Method' acting in which every part an actor plays is developed out of their own personality. This is a classic Aries; self, I and me being the beginning of all.

Talking about "The Wild One" Brando said "There's a line in the picture where he snarls, 'Nobody tells me what to do.' That's exactly how I've felt all my life" summing up the forceful independence of the man and this sign.
