The characteristics of the Aries ascendant:

Positive: Energetic, enthusiastic, ambitious
Negative: Impatient and rebellious
Behaviour: Your determination makes you a good leader.

Whatever sign you may be, Aries Ascendant will make you enterprising, lively, joyous, daring, sociable, and courageous, but also impatient, nervous, and impulsive. You are ambitious, curious, and quick-witted. Even if it means taking a risk or two, you often act on impulse and forge full-speed ahead. When faced with obstacles or failure, you always have a plan for bouncing back and starting over better off. You loathe routine and always have new ideas for moving forward or spicing up your daily life. No matter the area or domain, you have trouble following the rules. You need to move, to go off the beaten path, and, in love, to be blown away. Your courage enables you to take initiative, to take the plunge, but your impatience can often prevent you from seeing your plans through: if things don't happen quick enough for you, you might just give up halfway so that you can move onto something else.

Ascendant Aries, you are governed by Mars

So-called "Martians" are characterized by their ardor, an often impulsive drive, and their boldness and initiative. But, on the flip side, they can also be egotistical, impatient, intolerant, and prone to excess. This is an Ascendant that prepares you for confrontation, combat, and conquest rather than diplomacy or detail. You chafe under constraints or rules and especially any sort of authority that doesn't see things your way. Your goodwill can quite quickly turn into open rebellion - but you're not one to hold a grudge: you don't have the time! This permanent openness to whatever happens allows you to take advantage of many opportunities in life. All you need to do now is have a little discipline to see through the bold endeavors you embark fearlessly, but recklessly, on... Physical activity is absolutely indispensable for you to feel comfortable in your own skin. Exercise releases tension and keeps your energy up.

The 12 signs with Aries Ascendant

Aries

Women: An erupting volcano! You are hyperactive, relentless, willful, and fundamentally rebellious against any constraints. Your prime need is to express your vitality and any excess or impulsiveness that comes with it. You will have to watch out for your frankness, which, without at least a little tact, can lead to deep and long-last animosity... Your strength lies in your boldness and ability to constantly outdo yourself.

Men: An explosive mix! Always on the go, you are capable of moving mountains. You need to get rid of your excess energy in some sort of intense activity but must avoid imposing this combativeness on those around you. Keep seizing any opportunity that comes your way and giving the most of yourself in any situation. Nevertheless, you still have a lot of work to do to learn patience.

Taurus

Women: You are one of the most obstinate combinations in the zodiac: your already stubborn Taurean temperament will double down on Aries' strong-willed spirit, which can make for an inflexible duo. This mix gives you a nose for a good deal and the motivation to be constantly seeking material comfort. In love, you are often jealous and exclusive, even to the point of suffocating your partner...

Men: You are a man with values. You will do anything to obtain your objectives without being afraid to impose your personality if need be. You are terribly obstinate and don't give in in the face of opposition. You can be very generous and kind with those close to you. You need a partner who can agree to be exclusive and who appreciates the warmth of a traditional household.

Gemini

Women: You are one of the most fast-moving combinations in the zodiac: quick, nimble, clever, headstrong, and opportunistic, you have everything you need to hit your mark and move forward in life.

In the same way, though your charm often does the trick in your love-life, your instability puts you at a disadvantage...

You should try to answer them without overwhelming yourself.

Cancer
