Aries is the point of all beginning. The person with his sun in Aries is in the process of building a new personality. All the energies are self-centered and self-directed. The Arian assumes authority quickly, but must resist the impulse to "ram" ahead, pushing whoever is there out of the way. It is natural for the Arians to assume authority and responsibility. They can be inspired forces within a group. They are an inspiration to others. Ideas and creative projects seem to flow from them in a never-ending stream. They are full of energy and never lack courage. However, they can, also, project the negative traits of their sun sign. Negative traits come into being when the person misuses his positive traits. Because of this, you will find Arians who are self-centered. They are apt to forget that other people may have good ideas and can assume responsibility, too. This makes it difficult to form a partnership with an Arian. It is, also, difficult for an Arian to be an employee. Their natural instinct is to be the employer. They have a tendency to start a project, then to suddenly lose interest in it if the progress is slow or things have become complicated.

As fire can be a fleeting thing, so can be the friendship of an Aries. If you want to call an Aries up for a night out, you will have an exciting companion, but do not try to make plans for next week. Aries needs variety in their friendships. If you can not keep up with their constantly changing interests, they will move on to new friends. The Aries is well liked for their edge, so making new friends is never a big problem. Friends are nice, but not exactly necessary for independent Aries. Ruled by the First House of Self and selfishness can sometimes take the upper hand when it is a choice between people and possessions. On the other hand, the Aries can be very warm toward their friends. As long as Aries feels that they are the number one friend in your life, you can count on having an exciting whirlwind of fun.
Aries loves the chase and being flirt and will do whatever it takes to get the prize they want. Aries is seductive and will prove hard to resist. The demanding and passionate Aries needs an equally self-possessed lover to stimulate them and set them on fire. Aries can be fiercely loyal, yet self-centered at the same time, so their partner needs to exhibit confidence and a sense of when to give them the space they need. The aura surrounding those born under Aries is one of intensity and intrigue, so many will be tempted to step up to the plate. Aries will stick with a relationship as long as it's exiting, but if things start to cool down, it won't be long before they move on. The ideal Aries soul mate may be someone who is never, ever dull. As long as Aries remembers how to share and the beauty of 'we' rather than 'I', things can go far.
As children, Arians are noisy and full of energy. They must be doing something every minute. Firm discipline is needed, but it should not be too strict, either. They like games and sports, for they have a large amount of energy. his child needs to be noticed and needs to lead. Aries child needs to be independent, and will probably be very direct in expressing wants and desires. Aries baby is likely to be tremendously impatient. Activity is highly important. As the baby grows, he will be more and more active and is likely to explore anything and everything. As she matures, the child will find that by becoming mentally inventive instead of throwing temper tantrums.
Arian parents tend to push their children too hard in school. Their lack of patience doesn't help, either. Even so, they make good parents.Your children will be able to keep up with you if your life is fast track. Parenting is just one of the experiences among many in your mind. Not that you do not take it seriously but you see no reason why it ca not be incorporated into other adventures you undertake.
