Aries is the First House of the Western Zodiac.

Aries are energetic and competitive. They thrive on challenge and will dive into problems. Sometimes they dive in without thinking a problem through, because they can be quite impatient. Still, that energy keeps them going, and there’s no mountain they can’t climb.

In relationships, an Aries will be your hero. They will defend you and challenge your enemies. But an Aries can come on a little strong. They will offer you love and attention, but may not always listen. It’s just who they are, so be ready for them to take the lead.

When an Aries seeks an “opposites attract” relationship, they may feel at peace with a well-balanced Libra. When they seek a “like-minded” relationship, watch out for that gregarious Leo who is able to feed as much energy into a romance as an Aries does.
