Some say that, ideally, you’ll set challenges that are modest. However, not only is that completely out of character for you, if you talk to friends, you will find they are amazed and impressed by what you do on a daily basis. If you like the idea of a challenge, go for it. But knowing it won’t prove anything to anybody.
Stuck somewhere dull? Ask anybody, even a stranger, where you should go
One of your greatest characteristics is your zest for life. Of course, this comes with being an Aries and being ruled by Mars. However, your particular nature is such that it needs new challenges, some small, others bigger, but in every case, it is exciting for you to learn to do something, how to achieve a skill, or even how to have the kind of relationship you want. The trick to all of this, however, is to recognize that some things are simply skills. They aren’t challenges and you don’t need to put quite as much energy into them. You just need to figure out how to discern. And this is where those closest—family, friends, and even work colleagues—come in.
In the past, you wouldn’t listen to their caution that maybe you were doing too much, hurling yourself into one activity. Finally, what you are learning to do is to begin to back off. That isn’t just worthwhile, it means you will have time to explore other activities and perhaps even one or two challenges that will be rewarding. But most of all, it will give you time to be with those you care about most, to spend time with the number-one person in your life—you—but equally, with those who add to your life: family, friends, and colleagues whose company you enjoy. And rather than worrying about having to get somewhere, you will be able truly to relax with them.
It is rare that an Aries depends on another individual to fulfill his or her life. Caring passionately, about people and projects is normal. But putting yourself first is key. That is part of your lesson, and your journey. Do that, and work, live, and love intensely, yet retain that all-important link with your deepest inner self.
Knowing what is in your best interests seems simple. Yet you complicate it with complex fitness routines and demanding diets. Being good to yourself should be simple, and once you have linked up with your inner wisdom, you will know exactly what to do. Until then, think carefully about whose ideas you embrace.

Few things are more rewarding than having struggled with difficult people and coming up with a plan that works for everybody. The good news is, that is what you’ve done. The bad news is, these arrangements will change—before you can regard anything as settled for good.

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.
