You are a person who thrives on challenge, and you
often feel
that
you must battle your way through life, depending upon no one
and
nothing but your own strength, intelligence, and courage. You
believe
in being totally honest, true to oneself and one's own
vision
and convictions, even if that means standing alone.
Honesty,
integrity, personal honor, and authenticity are your
gods,
and you have no sympathy for weakness of character in
others.
You crave
the freedom to do things in your own way, and you
work
very well independently. Cooperating with others or carrying
out
another's will is not your style. You like to be the chief -
or
to go it alone.
You love action and if others are settling down into a nice,
comfortable
little rut, then you are always ready to stir things
up,
do something new, make changes, bring in some fresh blood.
Routine
and sameness are like death to you. You are not afraid of
trying
something that's never been done before, and even though
you
may be seen as a fool sometimes, you also discover, invent,
and
initiate things that others will later emulate. Taking risks
and
following your own star are the breath of life for you, and
you
wilt (or get very frustrated and angry) if you cannot do
this.
You are
spontaneous, impulsive, direct, enthusiastic, and
assertive.
You believe in the power of positive thinking and
positive
action, and you think of yourself as a strong person -
even
invincible. You hate being ill or in any way in a position
of
dependency. Accepting your own human limitations and emotional
needs
is often difficult for you.
You are basically aggressive in your attitudes and have less
facility
in the receptive arts of relating to others, picking up
subtle
messages and nuances, listening, nurturing, and
harmonizing.
Often you are so fired up about your own projects or
goals
that you inadvertently run over or ignore other people's
feelings
and interests. Being receptive and appreciative of
others'
contributions, ideas, and feelings would go a long way in
improving
your relationships. Your impatience to get on with
things
causes you to be rather insensitive, and to therefore
alienate
others unnecessarily. You also frequently try to
accomplish
your ends by using anger or some version of a temper
tantrum.
You would gain much by learning to slow down, relax, and
just
let things be sometimes, but your energetic, restless nature
rarely allows you to do this.
Your
Sign's Ruling Planet
Mars
- A Personal Planet
When you think of Mars, think action. Think, Charge of the Light Brigade!!
Mars is not
known for stopping to think about it's doing. It just does it-head
first
and all.
The energy of Mars is usually quick and explosive, like a firecracker.
Mars needs
to express those great bursts of energy. Picture the intense
but
fairly short-lived energy output of an antelope being chased by a lion.
This
is survival of the fittest, where Mars' energy can come to the fore
completely.
Therefore, Mars represents that instinctive biological drive to
survive
in all of us. Since the survival of the entire species is paramount,
Mars
also represents sex. It's the desire to go find a mate, unlike Venus
who
is content to wait until her "Romeo" knocks on the door, Mars instead,
aggressively
seeks out the object of it's desire. For some this may be
money,
friends, a career goal, a good time, you name it. What Mars wants,
Mars
gets. It's not afraid to fight and compete for whatever it wants either.
If
you are an Aries............
Your
communication planet, Mercury, will be in either Aries, Pisces or Taurus.
Your love/money planet,
Venus, will be in Aries, Pisces, Aquarius, Taurus or Gemini.
