ARIES (the ram)

• He has much drive and an ability to lead and pioneer among men.
• He forever chases progress or new ideas.
• A go-getter whose enthusiasm is so great that it will inspire others to come along with him.
• Enterprise, energy, and ambition are often boundless, and, provided these characteristics are directed wisely, he can go far.
• He recognizes the importance of a good front, he is particular about appearance and meticulous with dress.
• He prefers work which can offer some opportunity for personal leadership.
• He enjoys overcoming difficulties and may go out of his way to challenge opposition.
• Always hopeful, no matter where life may take him.
• His happy knack of forgetting failure can aid his endurance at times of stress.
• He has a strong impulsive streak, which will frequently land him in situations which could have been avoided with a little more thought.
• Love and friendship fill a large place in his emotional life and the same impetuosity and ardour go into them.
• No male is warmer or more frank in showing affection.
• His tendencies in love and friendships are apt to lead him into trouble, for many sorrows will follow rash engagements and imprudent marriages.
• Mr. Aries may spend the years before forty looking for himself and his path in life.
• He has an impulsive nature.
• Loyalty and tenacity are not among the virtues of this sign.
• He has a "me-first" attitude - only if he can learn to give will a happy union be achieved in love.
• He is somewhat unapproachable or hard-to-get, and advice from others will fall on deaf ears.
• Many problems in love could be avoided if Mr. Aries would only guard against being too ardent, passionate, and selfish.

CHARACTERISTICS OF THE HIGHER FEMALE

• She cannot abide half-hearted work or want of enthusiasm in those around her.
• She finds the ultra-scrupulous person who weighs every word and deliberates over every decision a terrible trial, a feeling that is usually made abundantly clear to the individual in question.
• Scope is needed for her energies, and larger opportunities are sought out which will enable her to sway and lead her fellow creatures.
• Rarely fulfilled in the ordinary round of domestic duties, she can frequently be found on committees or running both a career and a marriage successfully.
• Serenity is seldom appreciated at its true value by her, and is still less seldom achieved.
• She is a delight to meet socially due to her bright and lively personality.
• Without efficient assistance from the Arietian, the most desirable projects make little progress and the best-laid schemes fall to the ground.
• She will be active in love, and not so hampered in following desires as her male counterpart.
• Her proud appearance frequently attracts the weaker male, which most certainly can prove disastrous, for when given the opportunity, and will lose respect for the unfortunate man who has allowed this to happen.
• The Aries Woman needs the strong, masculine type for she is stronger than the majority of the male race.
• When unsuccessful in her quest for a man, she is likely to grow tense and frustrated.
• Aries rules the head, therefore headaches are common when under stress.

CHARACTERISTICS OF THE LOWER TYPE

• He or she will suffer from an excess of the qualities associated with this sign, but hope and enthusiasm will be replaced by recklessness or fickleness.
• Always engaged in some new project or idea which is rarely, if ever, taken through to any kind of conclusion.
• Rushes headlong into activities which require tack and though will bring failure.
• Past mistakes are not dwelt upon, resulting in the same situation arising again and again.
• Enterprises are abandoned whenever the going gets tough, this being his own way of solving problems; the fact that others are harmed by such a situation is of no account to him.
• Love is something of a disaster area: loyalty is and undeveloped part of his character and he jumps in and out of relationships sparing little thought for the partner.
• Occasionally he may attempt to form a lasting union, but with small success, for his inability to think first or to consider others will usually ensure failure and separation.
• When perverted or unbalanced a sadistic streak will come to the fore in his sex life.

PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS

• Personality is intensely alive, the movements quick and impulsive.
• Energetic, muscular, and will normally have a thick head or coarse hair.
• In many cases, will have a long, straight nose and a protruding mouth.
• Healthwise, a magnificent type, though his excess vitality can be a danger and he needs to exercise self-control.
• Should develop some faith in those around and delegate some work instead of wearing himself out by taking on too much.
