Aries in love

If you’ve ever been asked out by someone who met you eleven minutes ago, there’s a fair chance that person had a lot of Aries in their chart.

How Aries shows up

An Aries Sun tends to treat attraction as something to act on. They’ll tell you, plan the date, and show up with enthusiasm you can’t mistake. There’s very little code to crack. For anyone who’s tired of guessing, this comes as a real relief.

They also tend to love the start of things. The first rush suits them, and they bring it to new hobbies, new cities and new people. What they’re learning, usually over several relationships, is that the middle can be good too.

What they need from you

Aries needs a partner who’ll say what they think and hold their ground. Someone who always agrees feels oddly absent to them. They want room to do things by themselves without it being treated as a warning sign, and they want a partner who gets excited about a spur-of-the-moment idea at least some of the time.

Where it gets hard

Patience is the usual sticking point. An Aries may speak before they’ve thought it through, push for an answer before you’ve got one, or get bored when a situation calls for sitting still. Their anger tends to come up fast and be gone just as fast, which can leave a slower partner still reeling while they’ve already moved on and want to know what’s for dinner.

If you’re the Aries, try staying in the room a little longer than feels natural when someone’s upset. If you love one, try telling them plainly when you need more time. They rarely take it badly.
