The Arian personality is adventurous and very energetic; demanding of quick reactions can sometimes be aggressive and extremely tempermental. Born under this sign of achievement, the Arian needs to feel that they are meeting all their goals in at least one aspect of their life. The major fault of Arians is their intense single-mindedness, causing selfish and resentful feelings.
Arians are often successful in the business world, due to their determined, focus and unexpectedly well-organised nature. They enjoy a workplace where they have some freedom in their environment. Busy, maybe even noisy surroundings would suit, rather than a solitary office. The career aspect in life is the Arians main area of success; they have a strong need for achievement and without that can become disillusioned. An Arian who is employed with a less inspiring job should keep up with their high demands by aspiring to an active hobby. Arians love to take on dynamic careers; science-based, electronics, armed forces, entrpreneur.
Arians have lots of energy and generally thrive from plentiful exercise; but with their great need for achievement can cause them to over do things. They need to learn to recognise their limits. Their boundless energy means they quickly burn off the hearty meals they like to consume.
An Arian enjoys passionate, action-filled relationships. They have a very high sexual drive and love at first sight is possible. With their passion for freedom they can seem selfish and lack of commitment can seem a problem. Although all the Arian desires is a comfortable, emotional relationship. With their competitive nature freindship can be hard, as competition will definitely arise, although a moment will never be dull with the Arian influence. With all their energy Arians make great parents, but must ensure they do not push their children into activities they don't wish to participate in.
Ruling Planet: Mars – I take action!
