Aries as a sign: impulse, leadership, takeoff

The Aries horoscope starts with first‑step energy: in classical astrology it is a cardinal fire sign ruled by Mars, responsible for initiative and courage.

If you are an Aries, clear decisions and fast action suit you — you ignite projects, set the pace, and take ownership of launches.

In relationships Aries values honesty, openness, and forward motion — that keeps the fire creative instead of exhausting.

Classical Aries anchors — Mars, Tuesday, and the color red — support boldness and resolve, focusing strength on a specific goal.
