Turn boring commitments into a game. Figure out how to make them fun
By nature, you’re self-sufficient. Your ruling planet is the powerful Mars, which means you tend to feel it is your duty to deal with everything that comes your way. You are actually really good at that. What’s more, you enjoy overcoming challenges, because this process broadens your horizons and you learn about new people, situations, and settings. Even more, it is a measure of your capacity to handle all such matters. Yet certain elements of your life are so important to you, if issues involve them, you will worry—a lot. You will be concerned about doing things right, about the impact of plans on circumstances, or about upsetting others.
And this is the big lesson for you—to understand that the passion you bring to any situation is important, but if you make decisions based on the past, then you are only complicating your life. The trick? It’s to shift your focus from managing the present, the here and now, to focusing on the future.
This is especially important for you as an Aries, because you feel it is so important to act swiftly. But if you take a deep breath and reflect slowly on your options, extending your thinking into the future, your perspective will change. And, instead of acting swiftly—but, possibly, unwisely—you will act slowly and with wisdom.
Sometimes those around you are seriously upset about your plans or ideas. Ordinarily, you would say nothing but proceed, knowing success wins others over faster than words. Still, at times, you have no choice but to listen to others’ concerns. What they say is one thing, but a serious exchange of ideas matters even more. The secret? Truly listen to what others are thinking, You’ll learn a lot.
You’re happily involved in what you’re doing and enthusiastic about life. You are so busy that you don’t notice you’re tired. Or, because you’re living at a swift pace, you forget to eat. That results in a mood that is difficult for you and others. It is easy to forget about these things. But remember, and the rewards are huge.
There are many varieties of success. Some are about achieving goals of your own, those at work, or affecting others. You can get so involved in these, you neglect to set your own goals, from each day being a joy to achieving your own personal successes. These goals matter most of all.
