Dates and signs on this page follow the tropical zodiac used by sun-sign horoscopes. The Sanskrit name is the Vedic sign of the same name, which is calculated against the stars instead and can differ for any given birthday.
Character
Aries opens the zodiac, and it behaves like it. As a cardinal fire sign ruled by Mars, it is direct, energetic and quick to act, with a habit of starting things before others have finished discussing them. Aries people tend to be honest to the point of bluntness, competitive in a friendly way, and happiest when there is a challenge to meet. Patience is the lesson the sign keeps meeting: the same drive that gets a project moving can make waiting for the result feel harder than the work itself.
Love and relationships
In relationships, Aries is warm, loyal and a little impatient. Attraction is immediate and the pursuit is part of the pleasure, but the sign does best with a partner who can hold their own in an argument and does not take a direct remark as an attack. Over the long term, Aries needs room to act independently and a partner who says plainly what they want, because hints tend to be missed.
Work and money
At work Aries is a natural starter. Sales, emergency services, sport, entrepreneurship and any job with a clear goal and a visible result suit the sign, while routine, committee decisions and slow approval chains are the usual frustrations. With money, Aries tends to earn quickly and spend the same way, so a simple budget and a rule of waiting a day before a large purchase help.

Compatible signs
Leo, Sagittarius, Gemini and Aquarius are the traditional matches for Aries: the other fire signs, and the two signs of the complementary element that sit 60 degrees away. Fellow fire signs match Aries' pace, and air signs fan the flame with ideas and conversation. Earth and water signs can steady Aries, though they may need to meet its speed halfway.

Today the Moon crosses your eighth house, in Scorpio, and shared money, trust or a long-held worry comes into focus; face it calmly. Swati holds the Moon on this Krishna Chaturdashi.

Mercury is retrograde in your eighth house of shared resources, change and hidden matters, so double-check messages, plans and paperwork connected with it before committing.
