  *taken from Co-Star* I found their breakdowns to be the most accurate, and liked the funny little jabs they take at each sign (still accurately!) and don't forget -- if you were born on the cusp of either side of a sign (cusp = the first several dates at the beginning or end of a zodiac sign) check the other sign your birthday is closest to as you might find you relate more to those traits.

Personality Traits

At their core, Aries do what they want and do things their way. They are unafraid of conflict, highly competitive, honest and direct. An Aries is not weighed down by the freedom of choice, and is perhaps the sign that is least conflicted about what they want. They throw themselves at the world eagerly and without fear. It is one of their most commendable qualities, but also what causes them a great deal of pain and grief.

Aries are driven by a desire to prove themselves and their strength. They naturally take charge and are competitive and ambitious. Aries are spontaneous and courageous. They have a sense of adventure and love to explore. They're determined and bold, and are good at initiating new projects. They have high energy and can initiate quick actions. They can also be impatient, but are naturally active and don't like to waste time.

While Aries like competition, they don't like to play games. Are highly self-aware, have strong opinions and are always ready to defend them.

What Are Aries Weaknesses?

Tend to be impulsive, impatient, and hot headed. Do not apologize for their anger. They say "I don't care" and mean it. They don't always have the best self-control, so they need to learn how to be more patient.

Addicted to action and excitement, Aries are often the cause of their own turmoil. Want to feel things intensely, which is why they can sometimes be prone to reckless risk-taking. Also means they are often reacting out of emotion rather than from a place of calm clear-headedness. 

Love, Sex and Romance

Likely that they fall in love relatively quickly. Have a lot of energy, and they don't want to waste too much time on trivial matters. While they enjoy taking the time to get to know a person, they may not do so for an extended period of time. May consider themselves to be immediately aware of whether or not they are in love with someone. Will have strong feelings about whether or not the relationship is working, and will be able to break things off without a great deal of difficulty.

What Are Aries Attracted To?

People who can keep up with them. Emotions are fleeting and they enjoy people who embrace that they are drawn to physicality, directness, and warmth. Being upfront about your intentions and desires will put an Aries at ease - it conveys that is safe for them to be themselves around you. Are incapable of hiding their emotions, and they demonstrate them physically. On their good days, they're incredibly loving. When they're in a bad mood, they're disastrous forces of nature. This is because they shift between extremes. They'll push you away when they're upset  or feeling vulnerable, and then they'll come running back when they start missing you. It takes an incredible amount of strength to love an Aries. You have to become a resolute pillar amid a roiling sea.

Can sometimes get carried away and end up hurting people they love. They need to be reminded that they are a leader, not a dictator. They need to learn how to compromise. Need to learn that strength doesn't come from force. You may need to help them see that their first impulses are often wrong.

Who Is An Aries Soulmate?

A fierce, flirtatious, and emotionally forthright person. They enjoy being captivating, and they're also allured by the idea of being captured. Aries seeks out lovers who share their appetite for risk.

They have an effervescent personality and their moods tend to be mercurial. They can be very aggressive in love. They want someone who can stand their ground. Are an emotionally direct sign Rarely sugarcoat their feelings. Want someone who doesn't startle or swoon at their bluntness.

Tend to be non-conformist, impulsive, actively seek out the things that scare them. They're not really into tradition. Due to their eccentric nature, they don't really believe in monogamy. They'd rather play the field. But, they are prone to falling so hard that they forget they're playing at all. Want to be impressed. Want a lover who can write their own romantic epic.

If you're able to handle their trademark volatility, you'll find that they're fiercely loyal and emotionally generous. The kind of person who will ride into your life and gently hand you a rose in the middle of an emotional storm. They're the kind of person who likes to leave things better than they found them.

Friendship

Loyal, but can be very set in their opinions. When they feel they are being disrespected or not treated in a way that they consider fair they can lose respect for the person who they feel is disrespecting them. Will love you unconditionally, but not necessarily stay with you. Can be fickle. Driven by passion, and that passion doesn't always last.

What Upsets An Aries?

Believe that they're the big powerhouse behind the wheel of their life. When forced to take a backseat, they get really upset. Not that they need to be in charge, they just don't trust anybody else's ability to steer their life.

Very insecure about their ability to control their destiny. Even though they lead with confidence, they're actually constantly searching for reassurance.
