Finding things that excite you is easy, but getting that excitement to last is another matter. Usually you are eager to move on to anything that is new or exciting. The real challenge is finding the balance that is perfect for you, one that enables you to be true to yourself, which for you as an Aries is crucial.
When I’m feeling bored, I’ll tackle dull tasks I’ve been ignoring for a long time
Every Aries is ruled by the dynamic planet Mars, but in your case, Mars can sometimes be too big a player in your life. Mars is the planet of energy, aggression, and sometimes war, which means that occasionally you can get involved in a plan, get involved in learning something, but itis almost as if you intend to conquer rather than enjoy it. And, of course, what happens after that is you become exhausted and it seems overwhelming.
And then it loses its luster. So for you, the trick is to maintain that amazing enthusiasm that comes with your nature, but also to learn to spread it out in doing more than one thing, or to spend time with someone who helps you recognize when you are overdoing it. Not only is this important because it allows you to keep balance, it also means you have time to enjoy not only achieving those goals, but for life itself.
As you are aware, there are times when you have completely ignored those who are closest to you, perhaps even forgetting an important day or a birthday. Or perhaps you have been madly in love with somebody, but haven’t been in touch with them. Whatever the case, the lesson here is to find that balance as well. Do that and the feedback you get, the love you get, and the joy you get, will not only make it worthwhile, it will remind you to do that all the more often.
With your passion for life, you attract everybody to you. But that doesn’t mean you enjoy everybody’s company or should make plans with them. If you do so unwisely, simply apologize and back out. This prevents you from making arrangements that are no fun. Better yet, it teaches you to pick and choose carefully those who you spend time with.
You will often become enthusiastic about eating something you were told was good for you or doing an exercise or a sport because it is recommended. However, these can become routine, and soon, achingly dull. The secret? Make changes just for the fun of it.
Finding things that excite you is easy, but getting that excitement to last is another matter. Usually you are eager to move on to anything that is new or exciting. The real challenge is finding the balance that is perfect for you, one that enables you to be true to yourself, which for you as an Aries is crucial.
Understanding the need to be patient can be challenging, especially when others are in a hurry to make things happen. Yet at the moment, even you are struggling with the feeling that things should be moving more swiftly. They will. But for now, you are better off taking it slowly.

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.
