Astrology: Aries Zodiac Sign Dates & Traits

The next instalment of our Astrology Series with our resident Astrologer, Scarlett Stars looks at the Aries zodiac sign - the dates and traits this star sign carries, as well as some of our favourite Aries icons!

Aries Zodiac Sign Explained

Having an audacious ram as your spirit animal speaks volumes for your temperament; feisty fire sign Aries is always ready for action. The ram is often seen leading his gait with a forward tipped head, a representation of the assertion of Aries. Their tendency to lunge at full pelt and damage control later are represented by the charging nature of their horned archetype. Kicking off the entire zodiac wheel, Aries has never been one for the silver medal.

Cool in a Crisis

Aries have an immunity to panic in heated situations, their instinct to look after leaping can be a benefit in this respect, they boss high pressured jobs the rest of us couldn’t handle. However, the other side of the coin can show an immaturity and abruptness to them. Honing their skills wisely leads them to well taken risks, Aries are naturally good business people.

The rocket fuel that runs through their veins marks them as trailblazers, moving at such a fast pace can mean delicacy isn’t their forte. Ruled by the red planet Mars ‘god of war’, Aries prefer confrontation to subtly; this trait can see them clashing with uber-sensitive souls.

Flame-haired Enigma

Aries enigma Vivienne Westwood, business women extraordinaire, not only does she act like an Aries but her flame red locks see her fitting the physical bill too. You don’t get labelled the ‘queen of punk’ by being a shrinking violet, ballsy and fierce - Viv intended to put a spoke in the system. Viv had her peers eating her dust from day one, being the punk pioneer that she is, she radiates the spirit of Aries. Excelling in the fashion world, Viv had a direct message to delivery and was never backwards in going forwards.
