Those born under the sign of Aries want to stand out from the crowd; they have the will to succeed. Basically uncomplicated and direct in their approach Aries is able to cope in a straightforward way with the day-to-day problems of life. Whether immediate or long-term, from tonight's dinner menu to the details of a contract, they can strip away everything that ís unnecessary to achieving their goals.  Their ability to see clearly the essential elements of important decisions is both enviable and convincing.

Deep resources of determination help Aries when reacting to a challenge, however, a tendency to rush in regardless of the situation can cause problems. Observing these sometimes quick over reactions Aries has an opportunity to learn, sometimes the hard way (some, f course, do not!). An Aries lacking in career or an all-important hobby can become physically or psychologically sick; extremely diffi cult to live with. This is often because of their worst fault, selfi shness, which is almost certain to appear to some extent during every Arianís life. Parents of Arian children should make them aware of this tendency; it makes it easier for them to recognize and counter it in later life.
