As the first sign of the zodiac, Aries embodies the qualities of a leader. They are the first to volunteer, the first to head into battle, and the first to     finish what they’ve started.   They’re aggressive, daring, and courageous by nature. Aries personalities are often pioneers in the fields of innovation. Inclined to answer any challenge, Aries is naturally bold and direct, finding ways to accomplish things in the quickest, most efficient means possible. They know what they want and aren’t afraid to ask for it. 

As a cardinal fire sign, Aries is impulsive, opportunistic, and spontaneous. Aries’ enthusiasm and a get-it-done attitude are all part of the sign’s fiery nature. They are spirited and independent and often seek out new personal challenges wherever they are.

In a reading, Aries symbolizes a quick start to new projects. A person may find it particularly easy to roll up their sleeves and dig into a new big endeavor. As the sign of leadership, Aries often indicates that one may be spearheading an upcoming project or find one’s self facilitating a group effort.          

Reversed, Aries’ independence may lead to a bit of friction in codependent relationships or in situations that require joint decision-making. As an incredibly    ​   self-reliant sign,   Aries tends to act quickly, sometimes without thinking of how their actions affect those around them. Aries is also prone to binging on new interests and lusting after new people, projects, and material objects. When this card appears reversed one may have a strong desire to spend time, resources, and money on what may turn out to be short-lived interests.
