Aries Man

The Aries man is pure kinetic energy made flesh. Ruled by Mars, the planet of action and desire, he operates on a frequency of immediacy that can be both exhilarating and exhausting. He doesn’t just walk into a room; he charges into it, leading with his head (literally, as Aries rules the head). His default setting is ‘go,’ and he possesses an almost childlike optimism that he can conquer whatever obstacle is in front of him. This isn’t arrogance, though it often looks like it—it’s a genuine lack of fear. He lives entirely in the present moment, which makes him incredibly fun but sometimes frustratingly shortsighted. If he’s angry, he’s furious; if he’s happy, he’s ecstatic. There is no gray area in his emotional spectrum. He values honesty above tact and will tell you exactly what he thinks, often without considering the impact. However, his malice is non-existent; he forgets his anger as quickly as it flares. Underneath the bravado, he has a fragile ego that needs constant validation. He needs to feel like a winner, a hero, and a pioneer. If he feels disrespected or ignored, he will either fight to regain dominance or leave immediately to find a new conquest.
