Anyone know any genuinely diplomatic Ariens?

I wouldn't describe myself as such; let's just say I am working on it. For example, I can now manage to mentally count to 10, or bite my tongue, if my job depends on it. Mind you, that needn't necessarily mean I should go to the other extreme and feel crushed, either, if I don't like what I hear. Or employ passive-aggressive behaviour, as all that does is make people even more p***ed off with one.

Which do you feel is the most diplomatic, or assertive, sign? The two qualities aren't identical, I know, but they could, with some imagination, be loosely related.

The simplest way to add diplomacy to Aries is to put it in an interception. Intercepting a sign axis tends to belend the two signs together, resulting--in this case--in an Aries-Libra type, or a diplomatic Aries.

I would first observe the circumstances during those glimpses of diplomacy to see what triggers it.

I've observed it to be when they are speaking of, or speaking to, someone who really really impresses them.

I can be diplomatic, when I want to be.

I've noticed that the more Aries uses practical empathy (stops and takes a second to feel for other person) ,the more diplomatic they become. If you feel you need to bebcome more diplomatic, then that's the half of battle. Good luck!

That's interesting about the interceptions. I don't *get* interceptions at all, so it is somethig to poder about. Thank you!

I must agree with AJ on this one. I've had the privilege to know a lot of Aries people and I find that if they respect you they will be diplomatic. I will also add that if they fear you (which is hard to accomplish!) they will be careful of what they say!

By the way, I also know one Aries woman very well (my sister-in-law) who "hides her light under a bushel". She is ultra nonassertive and extremely passive aggressive. Meanwhile, she suffers from headaches, back aches, poor circulation, and the list goes on and on and on. And she is NOT a happy person. I've known her since she was 8 years old and have been trying for decades to "honest her up", but to no avail. Give me a true-blue Aries any day!!
