The 10 Best Psychological Qualities of an Aries

Aries-a Sign of FIRSTS

Aries.................SIGN of FIRSTS............

Aries is the first sign of the zodiac. In fact, this sign can aptly be described as a sign of firsts. It is the first cardinal sign in that this is a sign which loves to initiates and be active in the life process. It is a sign that does not sit back and merely be a spectator. It is a very proactive participator in life. It is not a sign who sits still and waits for things to happen. One can opportunely state that Aries wants to be in the driver's seat. It contends that it is a life mission to make things occur. If it cannot make things happen, then life is a futile endeavor. In essence, it LIVES to start things and to be continuously engaged in and/or interacting with life.

In addition to being the first cardinal sign, Aries is the first fire sign in the zodiac. This is the sign who has a reputation of being fearless, even fierce. To the average Aries, life belongs to the bold and the risk takers. He/she argues that risks are what makes life worthwhile and interesting. He/she is of the school that life is and/or should be one big exciting adventure after another. To him/her, if life is not adventurous and exciting then one just merely exists instead of really living.

To the Aries, life is to be lived at the highest, most optimal level possible. He/she asserts that one should never be afraid of life and that life is meant to be fully savored. He/she contends that fear is the anathema to a full life. He/she further believe that life should be faced head on or not at all. He/she approaches life as a dare. He/she maintains that life MUST be daring in order for it to be deemed significant. To say that Aries is daring is the understatement of the year, if not the millennium. He/she is nothing if not daring. Aries has the capacity to take daring to another level called fierceness. Fierceness is quite synonymous with the Aries persona. To be out there is second nature to him/her.

Being the sign of firsts is totally imbued in the Aries consciousness, mindset, persona, and/or psychology. Aries has the reputation of being pioneers and trailblazers. He/she is unafraid to test the waters and to try new things that no one have tried before. Aries MUST be first. If he/she is not first, then why bother at all. He/she will try things and experiences that others are often too timorous to attempt, let alone try. Newness is an elixir to the Aries. He/she contend that each and every endeavor that someone has done was once untried and new. It is their argument that if there were no firsts, humankind would not have evolved beyond the primeval stages of civilization and development. With this need to be the first, he/she refuses to wait and ask for permission to go on different, untried roads and adventures. He/she asserts that history belongs to those who dare, not to those who wait and play by the rules.

Aries is quite the dynamic, bold, and qualitatively fierce sign. In fact, the aforementioned description is doing this sign a gross injustice. Aries is all that and so much more. In this hub, I will state the 10 best psychological qualities of the Aries person.

Yes, Aries are quick people-physically and mentally. They absolutely have no patience with slowness in any form. They want to get the job done quickly. They also don't understand why some people take all day to do a simple task. They get it and believe that others should get it also! They have no patience with the socialities so to speak. They ARE what THEY ARE!

Mary Wickison from USA on August 31, 2015:

I too am an Aries and yes those traits do sum me up.

I really have issues with people who can't make a quick decision. By the time they organize a committee meeting to see how something should be done I have the job completed!
