Spring
is here! Life is literally thrusting up out of the cold earth, from
nowhere, it seems, and taking hold. To do this requires an enormous
burst of physical energy and courage. The courage to stand your ground
and say, "Here I am, this place is mine." It's enlightened
self-interest, divine self-centeredness. Without it, there would be no
life.
Remember
that scene from "Philadelphia", with
Taking our stand on the earth. Defying the odds, come what may, with unstoppable faith. This is the energy of Aries. Do we need it right now, in these dark times? You betcha.
10 Things We Love About Aries...
1. You are one of the most optimistic, forthright and independent signs of the zodiac. Guileless and honest, you exude innocence and idealistic faith.
2. In spite of all that apparent self-confidence, you have a soft spot, and need approval and pats on the back just as much, if not more, than other sun signs.
3. You embody "the audacity of hope", with unbelievable optimism in
the face of all odds. As you demonstrate over and over, optimism is a
self-fulfilling prophecy.
4. If optimism isn't enough, you bring unparalleled strength and endurance into the mix. Ruled by Mars, the warrior planet, you have the ability to overcome physical, emotional and financial challenges - that would leave the rest of us flying the white flag - in pursuit of your goals.
5. You're a natural-born entrepreneur, bursting with initiative and independence. With raw courage, savvy and determination, you shine when working for yourself or heading up your own company.
6. As a parent, you shower your children with affection. You can often be found racing around outside with the kids, and as they get older, you're coaching sports teams, keeping up with them on the ski slopes, or listening to and appreciating their music.
7. As a lover, you're charismatic and charming. You love the
thrill of the chase, and you seek to keep that excitement alive even in
marriage or a committed relationship.
8. You're one of the three signs symbolized by a horned animal, along with Taurus the Bull and Capricorn the Goat. That means lusty and passionate. Your lovers are the lucky ones.
9. As a friend, you're incredibly upbeat and positive, with a ready
smile and two tickets to go sky diving - almost exhausting to the rest
of us mere mortals.
10. In marriage, you've got a wee bit of a temper, and must learn to curb those fireworks before they do lasting damage. The good news is that you quickly come around and are often the first to apologize after an argument - but you must learn to give your spouse a chance to recover.
