HOROSCOPE
The Aries is ruled by the planet Mars, but as you were born in the second Decan, or part, of the sign, the Sun’s influence can also be found in your personality. Being the planet of assertiveness, the power of Mars gives you your vigorous and action-oriented qualities. In the same light, it is the influence of the Sun that links to your vitality, creativity, and inspiration. More so than any of the other Aries Decans, your planetary influence makes you charismatic and creative. Your charisma makes you the center of attention, which is great because that is a position that you very much enjoy. If your planetary influence had one downfall, it would be your need to boast of your accomplishments. Although your hard work is deserving of praise, take time to develop humility. In love,find a partner that shares in your youthful energy as this will bring you the most happiness and excitement.
