The Arian is impulsive, self-assertive and restless, with a great sense of urgency in all he does. He is creative and inspired at times to impressive accomplishments. He has a zest for life and is not afraid to take chances. He is sociable and sensitive to people´s opinions of him. He tries not to antagonise others and maintains a middle of the road position. His charm and kindness to others gains their approval of him.

He sometimes lacks staying power because, although he is ambitious, he is not too keen on physical labour and dull, routine tasks.

He is very loyal to his commitments in partnerships. He has great self-control, and manages his drive and physical energy to assure success. He is patient in encounters with arrogant individuals, hoping they will soon become defenceless. He has a strong will and if his trust is violated, he is unyielding in demanding some kind of retribution. In his youth he may have suffered emotionally or financially, but as he matures he will achieve calm and equilibrium for he will have learned the value of perseverance.

The Horse/Aries can win races, but as he sometimes lacks stamina, a good start will always increase his chances but long-distances can appear daunting. He should be careful that he does not take too many risks, or he may cause himself problems. He may experience ups and downs at the beginning of the year, but with patience and diligence he could reap the rewards of his hard work.

He likes to please and be agreeable. He likes adventure and excitement, but mishaps can make him go to pieces and then he needs those around him to encourage him and give him faith in a new start. His fire element allows him to exist harmoniously with Leos but he doesn´t always co-exist happily with other Arians. he loves harmony and beauty, but to gain equilibrium he has to moderate his impetuous spirit. According to Chinese astrology, the Horse does not have the luck of Dragons and Snakes. Consequently, his successes will always be particularly well earned - even in a Williams.
