Aries Fire Element
The zodiac signs are associated with different elements. As a fire element, Aries have feisty, fiery personalities. Fire is indicative of being uniquely creative and spontaneous. An Aries has a zest for life and is constantly seeking fun. The downside to a fire sign is that it's possible to figuratively burn yourself out by going too hard with too many things all at once. An Aries should be aware of this and take a break every so often to regroup.
Occupational Characteristics
Many Arians are self-employed due to a strong sense of competition and needing to come out at the top of their game. Other Arians are content to be in a managerial or foreman position. Politics are also natural for this ambitious sign, as is military career and service. Arians do well when they are in charge of a big picture or larger goal and have subordinates to carry out the worker bee, mundane activities.
Aries Relationship Characteristics
An Aries needs to be in the lead, but is also intent on making his romantic partner happy. As long as his partner makes him feel like he is leading the charge, she will be well taken care of. Aries like to have strong partners and friends, however if they become bored they will not hesitate to head for greener pastures.
Other Characteristics
Aries' love of new experiences and spontaneity make her a child at heart -- always. For this reason, she can sometimes be naive and overly trusting. She will be forceful, impulsive and dramatic as well. Intelligence, intellect (rather than spirituality) and independence are strong Aries traits that can be a blessing or a curse, depending on a given situation.
