Aries 2013 Horoscope

Aries 2013 Love Horoscope:
With Saturn in Scorpio all year, you desire relationships that go beyond the superficial, and are emotionally deep and intense, but you have problems finding that. The Mercury retrograde October 21st through November 10th in Scorpio is the time of year where you’ll likely be most frustrated. A solar eclipse in Scorpio on November 3rd occurs in the middle of it, so there may be opportunity, but because of the retrograde, you can’t do anything about it. Mars is in your love sector late August through mid-October, which could be when you meet someone or connect deeper with your partner. After the frustrating November retrograde, you’re able to give and get more out of your relationships in December, finding the serious commitment that you want. This is a year for you to be serious about love, sex, and dating, and if you’re not, you’ll continue to encounter problems. You’ll fall for people who want nothing to do with you or are all wrong for you, people you want nothing to do with become obsessed with you, or you can suffer terrible consequences from sexual irresponsibility. I know you don’t like to think before you act, Aries, but you need to if you don’t want to suffer. If you take it seriously, this could be the year where you have that kind of connection with someone that you dream about, and that will last for years to come.Venus is in your sign March 21st through April 15th, signaling the time when you’ll feel most romantic.

Aries 2013 Career Horoscope:

Pluto is sitting in your career sector all year. He’s been there for some time and will continue to be for a while. He’s making you obsessed with your career, your goals, your ambitions, the direction that you’re going in, and with accomplishing something important in your life. You have a much harder time playing second fiddle, remaining in the background, or letting someone else get the glory. You want credit for everything, and you want more power and control with your career. For 2013, this could pay off, literally. Mars is in your money sector late April through May, and during that time, a solar eclipse occurs May 9th in your money sector as well. This part of the year is fantastic for your finances, and you could see an increase in income, get a better paying job or promotion, start a side business for more money, or have some other positive financial development. If you work in a science-related field, one dealing with death (like a mortician or taxidermist), transformations (like remodeling homes or selling vintage pieces you’ve spruced up), or other people’s money (like an accountant or working for the IRS), this is a good year for you, and if you’re not in those fields, you could go into one of them or aspire to. You end 2013 having to work more than usual the last few months, and you could see issues begin to creep up when Venus begins her retrograde in your career sector on December 21st. You feel lazier with your work, goals, and lack ambitions, focus, and determination.
Aries 2013 General Horoscope:

Uranus remains in your sign, making you a little more erratic, unstable, and even more impulsive than usual. You’re bored more easily and you need constant change in your life. You can’t really stick with anything for very long, so committing yourself to anything is just setting yourself up for failure. Mars is in your sign March 12th through April 20th, and this is the time of year where you’ll be most impulsive and energetic. You’ll probably start a bunch of new projects but not see any of them through. On April 10th, a new moon occurs in your sign, so you’ll likely begin a new project, path, or idea then. Aries born April 8th through 12th will be impacted most by the new moon, and will be more enthusiastic and pioneering. On October 18th, a lunar eclipse occurs in your sign, which could show a time when you have something end in your life, something comes to fruition, you’re rewarded for smart work or punished for bad decisions, and you’re more emotional. Aries born April 13th through 17th will be impacted most by the lunar eclipse. With Jupiter in Gemini, your mind is more active, so between Jupiter and Uranus, they’re making it difficult for you to keep boredom at bay. Mental outlets are crucial for you right now, and you should be trying to learn new things as much as you can. Just make sure that they’re things you can learn and move on from quickly, and don’t require too much intense focus. On June 25th, Jupiter enters Cancer, and you’ll be able to work on expanding your home and making it a better environment, improving your relationships with relatives, and feeling more comfortable with your emotions.

What are your Aries traits?

15 Apr

What are your Aries traits?

Those personalities born between March 21st and April 20th are in the first sign of the zodiac, which means Aries features the sign of the ram.

Your Elemental Character:

Cardinal fire – This most active of combinations imbues you with a pioneering and assertive drive. However … if this dynamism is not tempered with forethought, it can leave headstrong Aries with problems which could have been avoided. This trailblazing energy also makes you a natural leader.

Aries traits tend to produce strong competitors, as they feature a strong will allied with self belief. They are regarded as generous and loyal friends. Plus, a traditional Aries trait is a kind of optimism that can become a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Aries personalities like to be productive — they can bore easily, and become stifled and restless in the face of inaction. The Aries character tends to handle stresses either by blowing their top, or blowing steam off later through a sporting activity.

On the negative side, the Aries trait of impatience can lead to pushiness, or simply becoming oblivious to others in a race to get to the head of the queue. You also may get irritated by others lack of speed, or their insistence on thinking things through when you feel immediate action is called for.

Arians respect, and practice, the trait of plain speaking — but if this characteristic is taken too far then they can be outspoken to the point of rudeness.

Career

Aries features are well suited to championing projects and taking the initiative. However, you may also be prone to taking on too much or trying to do everything yourself.

You can apply your intrepid Aries characteristics to fields such as medicine and research, business, athletics, and the military (although you may not make the best subordinate).

Many Aries start their own business at some point — they are prone to making new starts, and comfortable taking risks. However, Aries characteristics need to be balanced, as you might be dismissive of the details and routines essential to business success. Traditionally, the Aries personality works well coordinating the features of big business.

CHARACTERISTIC PROBLEM: Lacking a direction for your energy and focus, leading to depression/pointless activity.

SOLUTION: Take some down time to recharge the batteries, and construct an inspiring plan that addresses short-, medium- and long-term timeframes.

CHARACTERISTIC PROBLEM: Being overrun with conflicts as too many areas of life morph into mini-battles.

SOLUTION: Remember that viewing everything as a potential competition, is an inefficient approach for many situations. Once Arians see that not every area of life is a zero-sum game, then they are able to conserve their energy for the clashes that really matter.

CHARACTERISTIC PROBLEM: Aries can act like the ram itself, and keep battering away at resistance without looking up for an alternate path.

SOLUTION: Pause, and question whether persistence along the same route is really the best approach (it might be), or if a change in tactics would be more effective. It can help to realize that, often, the best response to provocation is no response.

Archetypes

The Warrior
The Femme Fatale
The Pioneer / Survivor

Compatibility

It’s important to note that star signs are only that – the sign that the Sun was in during your birth. All the other planets, and the aspects between them make compatibility much more complex than looking at just your birth sign.

Nonetheless, we can draw inferences, and Aries characteristics are compatible with:

Sagittarius

Aries likes a challenge, and not just before the relationship, but during it too … free-spirited Sagittarians can provide this along with the energy to match Aries every step of the way. In turn, Aries can add even more drive to Sagittarian quests. The main drawback is that arguments are possible as both signs can be direct and uncompromising.

Relationships:

Emma Thompson (A) and Kenneth Branagh (S), Alec Baldwin (A) and Kim Basinger (S), Reese Witherspoon (A) and Jake Gyllenhaal (S)

Leo

This is a magnetic, high-energy pairing: Leo enjoys Aries’ pursuit of them … and together they have the confidence to become a star couple. Aries may also enjoy not having to take the lead all the time. A possible flashpoint is Leo perceiving Aries’ flirting with others as disrespectful. Additionally, Aries can feel Leos to be a tad bossy or even manipulative.

Relationships:

Sean Penn (L) and Robin Wright Penn (A), Andrew Lloyd Webber (A) and Sarah Brightman (L), Robert De Niro (L) and Grace Hightower (A)

Aquarius

This Fire/Air combination can work well for Aries, as Aquarians find their company exciting. And Aries, for their part, finds Aquarius energy intellectually refreshing and stimulating. They will also be happy with each other’s independence. However, rebellious Aquarius has an extremist side, so clashes and a lack of compromises are possible.

Relationships:

Vince Vaughn (A) and Jennifer Anniston (Aq)
