Urbanités born on this day may take their dog to work. In the highest reaches of media, design and fashion, on both sides of the Atlantic, offices contain working dogs. Aries' preferred office pet is the West Highland white terrier, who manages the life with enormous charm, neither piddling in the publisher's handbag, nor farting in the features conference.
Most confine their animals to out of work, unless their work is with animals, highly likely for this date. Farming is an attraction. Competitive riding is ideal for such a combative psycheology. Many combine breeding, training and running events for a lucrative career. Doggy Aries may also breed and train their preferred animal, the aristocratic English Setter. This individual acknowledges there is nothing to beat a long walk or ride in the English countryside with your dog or horse. Everything seems closer and your soul is at peace. And animals love you in an uncomplicated way.
Highly driven, exceedingly ambitious, these creatures remain childish. This is the first star sign of the zodiac year bringing many unresolved aspects to the psycheology. Success beckons. Responsibility puts them off. At work, they do best with a powerful mentor, providing a settled backdrop for their juvenile lead, and helping assess other people, at which April 11 does not excel.
Relationships with same age partners are often difficult, and many find older partners, which brings great happiness to both. The artistic streak could take them far if encouraged by friends.

Although you strive for a connection on all levels, your physical needs are strong, and satisfying them is a must.

Sensual and romantic, you’re turned on by an intimate candlelit dinner for two in a secluded hideaway. While soft music plays in the background, you share delectable morsels of your favorite foods with your lover. You exchange kisses between sips of a delicious, intoxicating beverage. Dessert is a slow, sexy, seductive dance, ending in bed.
It's a common temptation to relate to others as if you are the young one. But at a certain point in your life you must decide firmly upon adulthood, otherwise your fate is never in your own hands.
Confident in your own abilities, you don’t waste much time worrying about what others may think of you or your activities. When you want something, you go after it and stick with it to completion. Unfortunately, your persistence and single-minded pursuit of goals can gain you a reputation for being ruthless.
