Wise and powerful words spoken by a famous Ram…
The world lost a treasure when Maya Angelou passed away in May 2014. The epitome of Aries energy and determination, in her lifetime she was a poet, author, dancer, singer, first black San Francisco streetcar conductor, civil rights activist, actor, director, teacher, and mother!
A survivor of childhood sexual abuse, she didn’t speak for nearly five years. During that time, she read voraciously and studied the world around her, activities that would serve her well. She said, “all my work, my life, everything I do is about survival, not just bare, awful, plodding survival, but survival with grace and faith. While one may encounter many defeats, one must not be defeated.”
Aries wants this in bed—but may never admit it!
Want to capture the heart of the Aries man? Take the lead. No matter what’s your pleasure, surprise him. Some men are intimidated or put off by strong, confident women, but not Aries! Give him a taste of his own powerful, take-control attitude and let him know what you’re going to do to him, how, and where. Mix it up—canoodle in the carport, get kinky in the kitchen, play behind the potted fern. Surprise him by acting out one of his sexual fantasies when he least expects it and he’ll be yours (almost) forever!
Tips for single Aries longing for love…
You have no problem making the first move. The problem is finding the right person to make that move on. You want to meet someone whose brains, physicality, and interests match yours. Try auto shows (you know you love to drive fast), bookstores (yes, they still exist), lively bars and nightclubs, the nearest hiking trail on a busy day, the gym, and sporting events. If you have a hobby, take (or teach) a how-to class, or meet fellow enthusiasts stocking up on tools and materials at flea markets or craft shops.
What an Aries should never spend their money on…
Your ambition stands you in good stead when it comes to making money. You’re no slouch at managing or investing it either! You love to spend money almost as much as you love to earn it, and you’re generous when it comes to spending on friends and family. If your credit cards suffer from overuse, you’re clever enough to pay them down. Take care that your impulsivity doesn’t affect your earnings. Do your homework before investing or making a big purchase. Base your decisions on sound facts and figures, not whether you like the name or the color!
Signs an Aries is losing interest fast…
It’s usually hard to get a word in edgewise with talkative Aries or keep up with one when they’re busy. They do first, and rest later (if ever). However, if your Aries partner is suddenly spending all day vegging on the couch or playing video games, Houston, we have a problem! Aries isn’t a good liar, so you’ll either know what the problem is, or they’ll just walk away with nasty a backward glance. It’s harsh, yes, but it was fun while it lasted, wasn’t it?
Should Aries be bosses—or bossed?
Your sign symbolizes new beginnings. You thrive in novel circumstances. When you see a fork in the road, you go where you’ve never traveled before. You don’t need someone else telling you what to do—you put enough pressure on yourself! You’re willing to take a gamble and follow your dream. You’re prime entrepreneurial material.
But you’ve been known to charge headfirst without doing enough groundwork. Starting a business demands calculated risks, not blind leaps. And if success doesn’t come quickly, you might give up. Remember the tortoise and the hare? Patience and persistence will win the race.
Aries are natural charmers, but do they lead others on?
Aries doesn’t play games, not in love anyway. Once smitten, there will be no beating around the bush or playing hard to get. If they don’t come out and say exactly how they feel, they’ll pursue you in a whirlwind of romance. Hold on to your hat!
With Aries you could mistake restlessness for boredom, but you’d be oh so wrong! Far from preferring to be somewhere else (or with someone else), with Aries it’s a sign they want to pick up the pace! If the heat isn’t there, you’ll know that, too. If it is, you can’t easily talk Aries into anything, including love.
Is an Aries happier single or in a relationship?
Single or coupled? Aries could go either way. Unlike some other signs, you’re perfectly happy alone. But once you’re in a committed relationship, you’re as generous, affectionate, and supportive as any other sign.
Things could cool if a relationship grows too routine (you know how Aries loves adventure). Yes, it’s true—day-to-day life is way less exciting than the chase. And a disengaged Aries is a self-involved Aries who could forget to include a partner at all. Anyone in a relationship with Aries needs to be strong, supportive, and ready for the ride of a lifetime!
Can an Aries have it all?
Yes, indeed! There you are, smack-dab in the middle of the action. You’re so confident and self-assured that people probably don’t know that you harbor a few fears (you know it’s true). You just don’t prattle on about them self-pityingly the way some other signs do! All that pressure you put on yourself to succeed can cause some real doubts about how you’re going to do it all. And forget asking for help! Your first, and usually only, impulse is to strong-arm your way through your nerves. And you know what? It usually works!
This Aries strength could be a love weakness…
Everyone knows that you’re passionate, and there’s nothing wrong with that. You zero in on what (or who) you want and go after it or him or her with singleness of purpose. A battering ram was an ancient siege weapon, originally a stout log, used to bash through walls. Sound familiar?
Forget immovable object, you’re like an irresistible force meeting marshmallow fluff! No one can withstand the full Aries onslaught. But romance isn’t a blunt instrument to be wielded against a foe. Ease up and enjoy the wooing process. Sweep—don’t knock—your paramour off their feet!
