Brave, bold, and undeterred: What to know about the Aries personality
When you're in the presence of an Aries personality, you know. A fire sign represented by the ram, Aries prefers to be the first, the best and the most memorable.
Aries is known as the sign to get things started. But does Aries get things finished? That's a different story. Those born under the sign of Aries often have a hard time completing tasks because their passionate nature can become distracted, looking at the more interesting thing rather than the most pressing.
Like other fire signs (Leo and Sagittarius), Aries is known for their desire and intense energy. Their optimistic demeanor helps them attain popularity, fame and success, which is helpful because they prefer to win at all they do.
At times, Aries' fiery energy can work against them, especially when their impulsive streak comes out in relationships. Loving a ram isn’t for the light-hearted. If you can keep up with their fierceness and gusto, then go for it. It's sure to be an adventure.
What are the dates of Aries season?
The first zodiac sign, Aries is known as the spark that lights the rest of the signs up. The dates for Aries season are approximately March 21 to about April 19, but it varies year by year.
What is Aries' symbol?
Aries is represented by the ram. Within Greek astrology, the ram is associated with the golden ram who saved the lives of two children. The ram was then sacrificed to Zeus and its coat became the highly treasured Golden Fleece.

Aries at work
There are two sides to Aries at the office. On one hand, they are able to inspire people to thrive and help others grow. As a fire sign, they are the motivators of the zodiac. Aries loves giving colleagues advice on how to achieve their professional endeavors.
On the other hand, the ram loves to win and to be number one — sometimes, at all costs. This means that Aries will make sure they’re the ones receiving a promotion, raise, or compliments.
Basically, Aries is willing to help others be the best version of themselves in their professional careers — so long as it doesn’t interfere with their own goals. Problems may to arise when someone an Aries has mentored advances past the ram. Aries will have to work through jealousy.
Aries in love
When it comes to love, Aries often take the role as the chaser. They're known to enjoy the act of pursuit. They relish the lead-up to the first date, from flirting to being bold with their affections. Aries will romance others hard and do all the work in planning for dates and time spent with their crush.
But what the relationship settles down into a routine, Aries may long for some of the excitement of the early stages. Aries may attempt to create a little fiery drama to make their relationship seem less complacent and dull.
Ultimately, they are seekers of the spark — not only the person. Without the presence of excitement in a relationship, they will get bored. All the more reason why the ram sometimes is prone to stirring fights with their partner to keep the spark alive.
Here’s how Aries relate to other zodiac signs in friendships, partnerships, and love.
