The secret is not so much finding the single “right” goal or ambition, as having a series of them: some your current focus, others on the sidelines but by no means forgotten. Some involve other people, a few are yours alone to do. The one thing in common is your passionate feelings about them all.
Restless? Ask somebody what they really enjoy doing. Then learn it from them
For you, life is full of challenges, not in a negative sense, but it’s the way you learn things. Whereas others will often run from challenges, you may ask them to join you in doing something new. To your amazement, they will say they actually aren’t interested in altering certain elements of their lives. As an Aries, you were born to enjoy these challenges, to thrive on them. And sometimes they will last for years, or sometimes you’ll learn what it is you need to know and move on.
Most of all, you need to recognize that not everybody will share those challenges with you. It’s the same with your own activities in the world. It is important for you to find activities—personally and in your job—that allow you to do things in a new way. If not, you will quickly get tired of them, or perhaps it will be that in your personal life you’ll find those challenges, even if your work is a bit predictable. You may just decide to reorganize things from time to time so that you are always learning something.
Whatever the case—and it can be different at different times in your life—for you, those challenges, those lessons in doing things in a new way, are like taking a very special variety of Aries vitamins. Once you’ve learned to do that, you’ll not only benefit from it, you will want to do it for the rest of your life.
As an Aries, discovering that others think very differently from you can be a surprise, if not jarring. Tempting as it is to focus on those who are equally enthusiastic about life, often relationships thrive on contrast. In your case, learning to accept this with others and enjoy them for what they are is an art.
While you can hurl yourself into certain activities, hoping they will make you stronger and healthier, sticking with it is another matter. Ideally, you should aim to have a variety of activities and, equally, a varied and interesting diet. That way, you can be indulgent on some days, then be more moderate over the next few.
The secret is not so much finding the single “right” goal or ambition, as having a series of them: some your current focus, others on the sidelines but by no means forgotten. Some involve other people, a few are yours alone to do. The one thing in common is your passionate feelings about them all.
External forces make you feel like you need to rush today. But taking your time will be best for everyone in the long run. Don’t allow yourself to be made to feel like you have to make decisions or take undue risks to solve problems that might not actually exist. Give yourself space to sit with a problem.

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.
