Making yourself number one is difficult for you, because you’re generous by nature. But when you find that balance between taking care of yourself—and taking care of yourself first—and being generous with others, you will also find that you experience great satisfaction.
When I am impatient, I’ll make it a game to guess how long things will take
The theme for your birthday is discovery. What a wonderful theme to have, because it isn’t about trying to keep things the same or even trying to make what you have better, it’s about recognizing that your life is going to be peppered with all kinds of exciting discoveries. Some things you have been hoping for, others are unexpected.
If there’s any challenge, it will be acknowledging those discoveries that you encounter as being important, which you should embrace. If you recognize these as something that will add to your life, then, when they arise, you’ll explore them. But in some cases you’re much more than this. They will add to your way of thinking, your way of living, maybe your way of working. But in each case, you’ll be discovering something new. That’s the key to it.
It’s interesting because, as an Aries, you’re inquisitive, but you can also be a creature of habit and can be rather impatient about having to learn new skills or new ways of doing things. Ironically, some of what you’re learning may mean that you meet other people or have new experiences that will themselves be rewarding. And that, again, brings us back to the theme of discovery. Think about it in the past, acknowledge it in the present, and embrace it, and you will have a future full of delightful and rewarding discoveries.
You tend to want to share discoveries with others. Except each individual is here to learn their own lesson, to have their own experiences. And while there may be times when you’re able to share them with those around you, just as often it is important that you enjoy them yourself.
You will be surprised how unexpected events or encounters teach you new ways to take care of yourself: activities that are worth your while, ways to eat that benefit you. More than that, however, recognize that this is an ongoing part of your life, so there will be further discoveries over the coming days, months, weeks, and even years.
Making yourself number one is difficult for you, because you’re generous by nature. But when you find that balance between taking care of yourself—and taking care of yourself first—and being generous with others, you will also find that you experience great satisfaction.
Unsettling as the revelations you are facing may be, deep down you’ve known something is amiss. The real shock is the extent of issues and how secretive certain individuals were. From their perspective, this was wise. Yet the gulf between you is wide—so much so, it’s unlikely you’ll strike an accord.
Aries: MARCH 20 – APRIL 18
Ruler: Mars
Symbol: The Ram

Fiery Aries is the first sign of the zodiac, and being ruled by the warrior planet Mars, you are a forceful character who thrives on challenges in a range of forms. Each adds to your skills, wisdom, and, ultimately, patience. Your plants and flowers reflect that sharpness, from thistles to gladioli, and your spice is, of course, red chile. Your gemstones are red, too—ranging from ruby to coral.
