Zodiac Sign Encyclopedia

Aries is the first sign of the zodiac, and that's exactly how those born under this sign see themselves: first. Aries are the leaders of the pack, first in line to get things going. Whether or not they actually get everything done is another question altogether, for an Aries prefers to initiate rather than to complete.

Ruled by Mars, Aries is a bundle of energy. They are pioneering, adventurous, and courageous. They aren't afraid to take risks and follow their gut. However, their impulsivity can sometimes lead to burned bridges if they aren't careful with their communication.
