Aries is the first sign of the zodiac, and that's how those born under this sign tend to see themselves - as number one. But although they like to lead, they don't often like to finish what they start, preferring to leave the finishing up to others. Aries can be blunt and to the point, often tempted to ram their ideas down other people's throats.

The ram symbolizes energy, initiative, and aggression. People born under this sign have a reputation for touchiness and dominance. They often consider themselves to be the leader of their group, and do not like anyone who tries to steal their credit. They are never afraid to throw their weight around and refuse to take things lying down. Headstrong and self-willed, they also tend to be impulsive and impatient. They make good leaders and managers but do not often like working for other people.

Your best matches, whether as friends, lovers or partners, are those born under the sign of Sagittarius or Leo, and to a lesser degree Aquarius and Gemini.

Famous Aries include: Hitler, Lenin, Thomas Jefferson, Chaplin, Freud, Machiavelli
