Aries natives are competitive and love both the game of life and the game of business. Born leaders, they provide initiatives to the world, defend just causes and fiercely protect those whom they love. Their mission is to open new roads, create enterprises, show audacity, expose personal ideas and develop confidence. With a natural dislike for losing, these individuals are likely to be winners most of the time. When any contest is in full swing, those governed by Aries know only one speed...full steam ahead. An Aries subject will probably be far from comfortable in a subordinate role. However, this does not usually present a problem since those ruled by this Sign possess an inherent belief in themselves that could be described as "cocksure." These are souls who relish in beginning projects and like to blaze the trail for colleagues. Ruled by the Element of Fire, Aries individuals can be rather combustible at times and always appear to stand ready for battle. Though not necessarily diplomatic, these natives are considerate of their colleagues and display great courage and energy in the workplace. Provided Aries subjects can stay within themselves, then they are likely to meet with much success. However, they do crave adventure and find "preachy" staff meetings to be a bore. In short, those who fall beneath the jurisdiction of this Sign would much rather be out in the field clinching a lucrative deal with a key client. There is a constant need here for new challenges to present themselves at a fast and furious pace. If such are not forthcoming, then Aries individuals will probably go in search of a new career. Retirement rarely figures in the working life of these subjects and they will stay in the game forever, changing the rules along the way in order to keep it interesting. Any office inhabited by an Aries native is likely to be somewhat sparse with only a few token trophies and emblems of success as reminders of past victories.

Aries natives are often attracted to literary pursuits and from the ranks of this Sign have come many eminent and descriptive poets, novelists and essayists, as well as teachers, public speakers and actors. Indeed, Lawrence Barrett, considered by some to be the greatest actor of serious roles, was an Aries subject. Given the inherent sense of justice and equity which counteracts all personal prejudices, these natives also make for excellent lawyers and judges, delivering arguments which carry much weight, being logical, sound and to the point. Naturally gifted with a liberal amount of talent in the fields of architecture and invention, Aries subjects are also lovers of science, art and music. These are self-assertive individuals with excellent communication skills and keen foresight. Generally speaking, they are enthusiastic and tough competitors, driven to succeed in whatever profession may be adopted. In the world of business, such natives normally demonstrate much initiative and are at their most successful when placed at the head of an undertaking. Being both venturesome and ambitious, Aries subjects should associate themselves with those of a more conservative temperament who, while appreciating these natural Aries qualities, would restrain the impulsive tendency to leap before investigating. There is some indication that those governed by this Sign can meet with success in real estate dealings and they are very good financiers, keen and anxious to grasp opportunities. Indeed, all independent activities which require action, initiative and authority would be considered favorable. However, the best profession for those governed by Aries is probably in the role of entrepreneur. Progressive souls, Aries natives soon demonstrate their ability to accomplish good work and thus, usually meet with rapid promotion. The Aries nature is generally too enterprising for mechanical pursuits and these indivudals are unlikely to succeed in any field which calls for attention to detail. Not willing to submit to the dictation of others, Aries natives can at times be aggressive and arbitrary when dealing with those under them.

As employees, Aries individuals are more likely than any other workers to accept additional assignments without complaint. They are prepared to labor until the wee hours for an exciting project but are unable to maintain a tight and uniform schedule regardless of standard office procedure. The inherent creative energy of these natives can burst upon the scene at any hour and simply cannot be adjusted to conform with another's idea of the appropriate working day. One thing Aries subjects are unable to tolerate is the turning-in of imperfect work and money will never be the prime reason for working. Willing to take orders from very few people, those governed by Aries do not believe in universal superiority. These are persons who excel in the acquisition of new accounts as well as being adept in saving clients who may otherwise have been hopelessly lost to the company. Aries natives are also known to initiate the largest and most ambitious schemes, particularly if the Aries subject in question believes he or she is being relied upon to come through. These individuals will be the first to apologize for any errors made through their inherent traits of haste and impulsiveness and rarely need the conventional rap on the knuckles for their mistakes. Indeed, if met halfway on such points, Aries natives will sincerely try not to repeat such errors. Criticism seldom accomplishes much when it comes to those ruled by this Sign but they do possess an uncanny ability to understand situations with great clarity. Unless permitted to promote, create and originate, Aries individuals are liable to consider themselves as worthless. As a boss, the Aries native will probably not be popular with lazy employees. Indeed, if Aries individuals suspect that an employee is coasting, then a "tongue-lashing" will most certainly be in order. Nevertheless, that employee will likely be given a second, third or even fourth chance to make amends. Though not so susceptible to flattery as the other Zodiac Signs, Aries individuals do relish a sincere compliment from time to time, but will harbor contempt for an employee who sings praises in order to "score a few brownie points." These natives appreciate employees who care enough about the company to make suggestions and who are original in their thinking, provided such a worker makes it perfectly clear that he or she has no intention of trying to outshine the boss. Employees will be expected to "stay on their toes" and when the idealistic, optimistic enthusiasm of Aries indivuals leads them to "get in over their heads," they will really need help, faith and loyalty...despite the inherent independent spirit of this Sign. As work colleagues, Aries natives will do battle for their independence. They like to think of themselves as the boss and will need to decide early on where they should draw the line. Although desirous of taking the lead, if there can be a little give-and-take, then those ruled by Aries can share a beautiful working relationship with their co-workers.

Gutsy and spirited, those ruled by Aries are the "go-getters" of the Zodiac. These natives are usually monetarily successful, given their tremendous willpower and the ability to set goals. However, the problem associated with such success is invariably accompanied by a feeling of obligation to assist those less fortunate. This can occasionally be carried to extremes, much to the chagrin of life partners, family and close friends. In short, the Aries native is something of a "soft touch" when it comes to lending money. Possessed with much cunning and a shrewd mind, these individuals customarily fare well with their finances, assuming they can resist the temptation to make rash investment decisions without expert advice. There is a talent here for money-making to a large degree, although there is also a decided lack of any ability to save a great amount of it. Being lovers of the limelight (coupled with the natural desire to be in the thick of things) may occasionally lead to Aries natives finding themselves in a tight financial bind...but they customarily manage to "wriggle out" of the situation. Very often, money is regarded as nothing more than a source of inspiration...the currency which will enable an Aries individual to get what he or she wants. Not keen on the idea of a nest-egg, these natives consider security somewhat frivolous and tend to live for the moment. In short, they do not believe in "saving for a rainy day," cherishing personal freedom and flexibility while refusing to worry over figures. They can also be found somewhat lacking when it comes to prompt repayment of loans but, on the other hand, will never hesitate to lend their last dollar. Aries subjects are seekers of fame but not fortune. While such individuals may "hit it big" and "make a bundle," it is more likely that any wealth attained will be as a result of the incredible will to succeed rather than any desire to get rich. There are likely to be elaborate plans hatched with the idea of amassing wealth, but the quest for fortune will always be more important than any result. The moving forward of an agenda will be the top priority here...even if the agenda is not necessarily sound in a fiscal sense. In addition, Aries natives love to indulge in a gamble and this often wrecks havoc on the checkbook. To make matters worse, those who fall under the jurisdiction of Aries are loathe to balance their bank accounts.

Aries/Aries: A business partnership between two individuals governed by Aries will seldom prosper since both will want to be the "boss" and even the most basic ideas and innovations are likely to be delayed due to the stubborness of the other. In short, there will be entirely too many chiefs and nowhere near enough indians.

Aries/Taurus: A business partnership between Aries and Taurus has an excellent chance of being successful since these two signs get along very well based on friendship. Aries, being ruled by the element of fire, provides the ideas while Taurus, being ruled by the element of earth, is a go-getter who will be very practical and excel at keeping the production flowing, to say nothing of maintaining the books in tip-top fashion. This partnership is comprised of both the salesman and the bookkeeper, which can be a winning combination.

Aries/Gemini: A business partnership between Aries and Gemini could work out quite well. Gemini is ruled by air, a mental element which is mechanically inclined toward such goals as marketing, etc., while Aries has the ability to interact with the public. Thus, this combination provides a solid foundation for a good partnership in the making. The addition of an earth sign (Taurus, Virgo or Capricorn) into the mix, complete with that element's natural ability to keep the finances in order, is a virtual guarantee of success.

Aries/Cancer: A business partnership between Aries and Cancer seldom works well since Aries will soon become tired of the constant complaints and negative attitude of Cancer, who will spend much time being angry and sulking if he or she is not allowed to play the role of "fearless leader." Signs governed by the element of water (Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces) excel in the field of design, but are far too emotional to make any partnership a viable option unless such an individual can change his or her personality somewhat to that of a more positive type.

Aries/Leo: A business partnership between Aries and Leo is not particularly favorable in a one-on-one situation. Since both signs are too much alike, the business would soon fall victim to a clash of personalities. Here again, it is a case of too many chiefs and not enough indians.

Aries/Virgo: A business partnership between Aries and Virgo has the potential to work very well. The logical mind of Virgo, which constantly calculates the best moves, blends nicely with the Aries willingness to work hard. This is likely to be a most favorable union, provided Aries is given free rein within the scope of his or her agreed-upon responsibilities.

Aries/Libra: A business partnership between Aries and Libra is not particularly favorable given the differences in personality, but can be successful provided both decide to strike up a strong friendship and if each respected the hard work and ideas of the other. On a more positive note, Libra (being a sign governed by the element of air) would shine in the area of marketing and Aries would excel at maintaining the customer or client base for the business.

Aries/Scorpio: A business partnership between Aries and Scorpio would hardly be ideal...unless one of them lived in a different country perhaps. Being a sign governed by the element of fire, Aries would never be satisfied with a half-hearted effort and Scorpio, being governed by the element of water, would constantly be squelching the fiery enthusiasm of Aries.

Aries/Sagittarius: A business partnership between Aries and Sagittarius is not particularly favorable in a one-on-one situation, since both of these signs are too much alike in mood and temperament to meet with success. However, working in a team setting with other players in the key niches does have much potential and under such circumstances, this pair will likely become very good friends and colleagues.

Aries/Capricorn: A business partnership between Aries and Capricorn will be far too complex to be successful. Since both will be too busy "locking horns" over all the tiny details, this partnership will likely prove to be of no value to either individual.

Aries/Aquarius: A business partnership between Aries and Aquarius could possibly work if both individuals have evolved beyond some of the inherent traits that grate on each other. As a sign ruled by the element of fire, Aries will provide the inspiration while Aquarius, ruled by the mental element of air, will provide the marketing. This could be a good basis for operations, but it seems unlikely that the partnership would have much longevity since the union is unlikely to last on a friendship level.

Aries/Pisces: A business partnership between Aries and Pisces could prove to be somewhat successful. Being an emotional water sign, Pisces excels in the field of design and could get along well with the inspirational and fiery Aries. In addition, Pisces would have no objection to Aries being the "boss." However, the element of water does tend to dampen the element of fire and all of Aries' ideas...as well as the business itself...could come to nothing in the end.
