How to recognize Aries
'Why, sometimes I've believed as many as
six impossible things before breakfast.'
They would not remember the simple rule
their friends had taught them,
that a red hot poker will burn you
if you hold it too long;
and that, if you cut your finger
very deeply with a knife,
it usually bleeds.
Have you recently met an unusually
friendly person with a forceful manner, a firm handclasp and an
instant smile? Get ready for a dizzy dash around the mulberry bush.
You've probably just been adopted by an Aries. Especially if you found
it a little tough to take a lead in the conversation.
Aries is the first sign of zodiac. It
represents birth, as Pisces represents death and consciousness of the
soul. The ram is conscious only of himself. He's the infant of the
zodiac - the newborn baby - completely absorbed with his own toes and
fingers. His needs comes first.
Aries people have decided features,
usually sharp, seldom soft or blurred. The well-marked brows often
join with the narrow bridge or the nose in forming the sign of the
ram, perhaps as a warning to anyone with the silly idea of trying to
stop or conquer him that those symbolic horns means business. You may
notice a mole or a scar on the head or face, a reddish cast to the
hair in the sunlight, and more color than average in complexion.
Aries would rather be caught dead than be
caught weak. The ram will seldom glance nervously around the room.
When he does, he's no longer interested in talking with you. Something
else has caught his attention, and for the moment, you are forgotten.
He will undoubtedly be at the head of his chosen career or involved in
a profession on his own. Every Arian, at some time in his life, will
indulge in rash behavior that brings an injury to the head or face.
Normally, the ram, won't even take a
sleeping pill. He'd much rather stay wide awake. (He's afraid he might
miss something.) He can converse for hours in an exciting, interesting
manner on subjects he knows absolutely nothing about. Time spent
pinning down the fact is resented, because the ram cares nothing for
yesterday's lesson and tomorrow is too far away to worry about. Today
is his natural residence. This hour and this minute. He's totally
consumed in the action of the present.
Aries people are usually happier in
business or the creative arts, where they're so desperately needed.
It's difficult to express your own individuality around these people.
Aries is far happier when he's talking about himself and his plans
than about anybody or anything else (with the exception of the loved
one, when he's caught in the clutches of a romance.) Once you get his
interest - and lots of luck - he'll be an attentive listener,
especially if your ideas are exciting and progressive. He'll promote
you to the skies, and offer you his time, money, sympathy and loyalty.
When you're in the hospital, he may forget to send a card, but he may
choose the hospital for you, drive you there himself and refer you to
his own doctor. Once involved in helping you through a rough time,
Aries will walk the extra mile without hesitation. But show your
gratitude please.
He enjoys doings favors; the larger the
charitable gesture the better; but the ram wants his credits when it's
coming to him. If thanks are withheld, however, it probably won't keep
him from helping again.
The Aries Man
He said, 'I go my ways
And when I find a mountain-rill
I set it in a blaze...'
'So either way
I'll get into the garden
and I don't care what happens.'
That creature over there making a phone
call - is it an electrically charged dynamo? Is it a flaming torch? is
it a bird, an explosion - or is it Superman? Well, practically. It's
an Aries male, which is pretty close. Let's hope you know what you're
looking for. Should it be excitement, an Aries man will provide it by
the bushel, with seldom a dull moment to blur the sparkle. But if
you're looking for the security and contentment of a soothing love,
you're in the wrong telephone booth.
Aries men are fairly bursting with ideas
and creative energy.
The Aries Boss
'Well now that we have seen each
other,' said the Unicorn
'if you'll believe in me,
I'll believe in you.
Is that a bargain?'
The Aries boss won't be popular with lazy
employees. He'll probably hire you fast, promote you fast - and point
out your mistakes just as quickly. More than any other kind of boss,
he'll repay loyalty with loyalty. Keep a full supply of aspirin in the
desk drawer for frequent emergencies, polish up your smile, don't take
his outbursts seriously - and you can throw away the classified ads.
You'll want to stay where the action is.
The Aries Employee
'I said it very loud and clear
I went and shouted in his ear
And when I found the door was locked
I pulled and pushed and kicked and knocked...'
'But it's no use going back to
yesterday
Because I was a different person then.'
Hiring an Aries can be the smartest move
you ever made or the largest headache you've ever known, depending on
how you aim this combustible, misguided missile. His great, creative
energy comes on him at all hours, and it can't be adjusted to fit
someone's idea of the proper working day. He may ask to leave early
some afternoon for pressing personal reasons, but he'll come back
later the same night to burn the midnight oil, or pop in before the
birdies chirp the following morning to make up the work he's missed.
One thing Aries can't stand is to turn in work which is less perfect
than he knows he can do.
Money is never his prime reason for
working. he will insist on being paid what he's worth (what he thinks
he's worth) for the sake of ego and status, but money is never his
main objective. He is motivated by success and cash is always
secondary. He may frequently ask to borrow money, because the ram
usually lives beyond his income. Still, an extra pat on the back will
often get more out of him than an extra five dollar a week in his pay
envelope.
He will promote your business to his wife
and friends enthusiastically, to cab drivers, waiters and anyone who
will listen - at the movies, in the swimming pool - and not just
during the hours he's paid to do so.
