Aries Zodiac Sign: Character, Strengths and Weaknesses

Aries (March 21–April 19) is the first sign of the zodiac, a fire sign, symbolized by the Ram. A natural-born leader and pioneer: energetic, courageous, proactive, honest and direct. Aries people energize others, are unafraid to begin new ventures and charge straight toward their goals. Strengths: courage, initiative, honesty, leadership, optimism and the ability to inspire. Weaknesses: hot temper, impatience, impulsiveness, a tendency toward selfishness and acting before thinking. Aries often finds it difficult to follow things through to completion and to take other people's feelings into account. Important framing: a sun-sign characteristic is a generalization, not an exact portrait of a specific person. The full picture emerges from the entire chart.
