Man

The Aries Man

The Aries man loves through action. In traditional astrology Mars, the ruler of the sign, is the planet of desire and of defence. The Aries man steps in front of the person he loves if anyone attacks them, sometimes before he knows what the quarrel is about. He is drawn to a partner with goals of their own, someone to race without getting in each other's way. When he is wrong, he would rather put it right than apologise.

Among his friends he is the one who calls on Friday evening with a plan for Saturday ready. He trains in the morning, plays football in the evening and would rather do the repairs at home himself. Small decisions he makes on the move and does not like to discuss them for long. He competes even at backgammon and takes losing hard.

Woman

The Aries Woman

The Aries woman says what she wants from the start. Astrology links the sign with the first house, the house of the self, and she does not give herself up for a relationship: she keeps her friends, her sport and her plans. She looks for a partner who enjoys her strength instead of taming it, someone to start new things with: a trip, a shared project, the mountains in winter.

When something urgent is on fire, people call her: Mars makes her quick where others are still thinking. She works in bursts and needs a goal to chase. Boredom tires her more than a hard day. She rarely puts things off: what can be done today, she does today.

Stones

Stones for Aries

The Aries stone in the old Western lists of the zodiac is bloodstone, a dark green chalcedony with red spots. One of these lists sets the diamond beside it, and the modern list of birthstones by month gives the diamond to April, the month in which most Aries birthdays fall.

Diamond scratches every other stone and stands up to everyday wear. Bloodstone costs far less and is worn as a pendant or a bracelet. The link between a stone and a sign is symbolic, and each school describes it in its own way.
