They're bold, they're bossy, they're passionate....they're an Aries. Whether you're crushing on a ram, friends with one, or you are one, let's learn more about this cardinal fire sign.

See, every sign of the zodiac has personality qualities and archetypal traits associated with it. Let’s get into some vibes we often associate with Aries—the good, the bad, and the intense—shall we?

(Pause for a quick disclaimer: Before reading on, please remember the first astrological commandment, *thou shalt not astroprofile*, and know that literally any sign can have any personality quality. These are simply the ones most commonly associated with our Aries friends. Also, the ways these qualities get expressed vary from person to person.)

ARIES AT THE OFFICE

As the first sign of the zodiac, Aries is all about beginnings, individuality, and boldness. They don’t exactly take orders well and often prefer self-employment or a role where they’re steering the ship. At the office, this means strong leadership skills, fiercely individualistic vibes, and, yeah, perhaps a hint of bossiness. But hey, Aries just *tells it like it is* and leaves out the fluff. As a cardinal fire sign, Aries are famous for charging headfirst into a situation without, um…using their heads. Our ram friends charge into uncharted territory and will inspire (terrify?) the whole cubicle crew with that cutting-edge attitude.

ARIES IN LOVE

Aries isn’t just a boss at the office. Your Aries lover knows exactly what they want and is not afraid to tell you. “The greater the risk, the greater the reward” = Aries’ mantra when it comes to lurv. Their fiery nature means they are bringing the heat in the bedroom and will expect that you do the same. If you’re into a bold, honest, and courageous lover, you’ve come to the right place! The shadow side? That whole think before you speak thing isn’t really, um, their thing.

ARIES WITH FRIENDS

When you’re hanging out with an Aries, life’s a little more exciting. Peep their IG for pics of impromptu road trips across the country, badass haircuts, and the huge tattoo they got on a whim. Their boundless energy and adrenaline-loving ways can be contagious, making you want to be your most badass self. Aries like to move a zillion miles an hour, so they can be hard to keep up with. Their dynamic and fiercely individualistic vibe is inspiring, but patience is not their strong suit.

ARIES BEHIND THE SCENES

Being ruled by Mars—planet of desire, war, and action—our Aries friends have a lot of energy. A classic Aries needs to be on the move, starting new projects, and adventuring often. Risks, new environments, and beginnings are actually their comfort zone.
