WHAHt's Written In Your Stars: Aries

C'mon baby, light my fire - it's Aries season! Ruled by dynamic warrior planet Mars, Aries is the trailblazing first sign of the zodiac wheel, armed with a fiery energy, fierce confidence, and pioneering spirit. Passionate, bold, and courageous, Aries babes are a true embodiment of the fire in their sign, with a penchant for taking risks and tendency to dive headfirst into even the most challenging situations with endless energy and an unquenchable lust for life.

Fire signs are known for their impassioned creativity and impulsive spontaneity, and as the cardinal fire sign, Aries tends to be a natural leader and trendsetter, inspiring those around them with their willpower and originality. Ruled by the willfully headstrong Ram, fearless Aries often has a stubborn and determined energy - they refuse to be pushed around and they are not afraid to challenge the status quo in all areas of life, from their careers to their fashion choices. They are audacious and ambitious and when they set their mind to something, they become an unstoppable force of nature - stay out of their way or suffer the burn of their often impatient temper.

Rams are go-getters, brimming with ideas and energy, and they are the ultimate champions of those around them, infusing the people in their life with constant encouragement and infectious confidence. Playful and enthusiastic, they are dedicated to living life to the fullest, always seeking adventure and not-so-secretly thriving in any sort of competition. One of the most active zodiac signs, Aries babes often leap before they look, but even though practicality isn't this impulsive fire sign's strong suit, they thrive in crises and somehow always manage to naturally come out on top. Always on the move, fiery Rams are the ones who get the party started - they're the first to suggest skinny-dipping or organize a drinking game, and they're always down to give a motivational pep talk. Their upbeat attitude and direct approach to communication attracts a wide range of people, like moths to a flame.

Alpha Aries is also the sign of the self, and their relentless determination and fierce independence means they need a partner that's an equal, someone who can keep up with their healthy appetite for love and life, balancing the attention they crave with the space they need. Their raw passion easily carries over into the bedroom, where their spontaneous tendencies, love of bold lingerie, and confident sense of self keeps things continually red HAHT.

Happy birthday Aries - thank you for lighting the fire & leading the way!
