Aries man profile - personality traits & characteristics

The Aries man is typically confident, fiery, bold, spontaneous and independent. Ambitious and hardworking, he will typically make a good living, though probably isn’t the best at saving the money he makes, instead preferring to enjoy it as it arrives.

A mixture of fearless warrior and undisciplined child, Aries is one of the easiest signs to understand. These are action people, extrovert and assertive. They want to be in charge, the boss, the hunter, the instigator.

This man is particularly masculine and virile (yes okay, macho and horny) and is in touch with his inner child. The later manifests in both good and bad ways; on the plus side he tends to be very fun loving and adventurous, and on the negative he can be very sulky if he doesn’t get his own way, or is ignored.

He tends to be very competitive, but unlike some signs also has a strong sense of fair play - he wants to win for himself; to prove to the world he could do it - and isn’t interested in deceit or cheating. He hates to be bossed around, or feel trapped.

Uncomplicated, bold, aggressive and impulsive, Aries can sometimes be seen as selfish, insensitive, domineering, blunt, outspoken and impatient. They're never afraid of taking a risk. Lacking in self control they more than compensate in resilience - this is one tough cookie, who will live life to the full.

Aries man as a lover

An adventurous and exciting lover, Aries men are never dull or boring. On the contrary the main risk is that a partner may not be able to keep up with them, or lack their resilience to bounce back from the many minor crisis and setbacks which being so impulsive and dynamic naturally creates.

The danger for an Aries in a relationship is being too controlling and confrontational. They need to consciously curb their desire to battle and win. More specifically, they need to learn how to lose when fighting someone they love. It may sound like a quote from Sun Tzu, but more than anything, in love they need to learn the stratagem of 'winning by appearing to lose'.

Aries man sexuality

The Aries man typically prefers feminine and 'girly' women, ideally who are intelligent but straightforward, and are not overly ambitious or bossy by his standards (which means they can be fairly ambitious and bossy by anyone else’s!)

This is a man who will appreciate sexy clothes and underwear, the bolder the better. If you’ve been looking for someone to model those impractical slinky outfits for, this is the guy! He enjoys being the pursuer, so once you're looking suitably sexy for him, being demure, timid and shy will score major additional points.

Aries men gift Ideas

Tickets to a sports event, boxing match etc will impress your Aries man more than most physical gifts will. If you're feeling brave, a trip to some kind of extreme sport such as bungee jumping or parachuting would really impress, especially if he's never done it before. Just don’t be surprised if he wants to 'go again!' while you're congratulating yourself on surviving the first time!

Weaknesses

Aries see themselves as leaders. While it's true they are indeed leaders, they lead by action and not by planning or intellectual process. This can be good or bad depending on the situation.

They have to make a conscious effort to look around to see other people’s feelings and desires, it doesn’t happen automatically for them. Similarly they tend to see the world and respond to it in a physical manner (rather than emotional, intellectual or practical)

Using astrology to really understand an Aries man

It’s important to note that we’re only considering a persons sun sign in this article. There are many other planets which can have an equal or greater effect on their personality. Makes sense, as ultimately everyone is of course unique.

Your own personality is also a significant factor. How you see someone, and how they see you is a matter of personal perspective. It’s why you may think someone is wonderful, while your friend can’t see it.

To fully understand someone or how compatible you are with them (the two are ultimately the same thing) we need to calculate those other planet placements from their date of birth, and compare them to your own, and then interpret the results.

This unlocks the real power of astrology, and gives much more useful and specific information – everything from how they view you, how to turn them on, how to avoid arguments etc. If you would like to explore this further please see the astrology compatibility reports page.
