Note: I'm not bashing, in before the alpha Aries' walk into this thread, choosing to ignore important words, and misconstruing the entire purpose of my need to understand this character associated with Aries. I would like to understand what this warrior mentality is and this fixed state of warriorism (new word)

As far as wining goes, it's not necessarily about winning, it's more about being Number 1. They are the Ram, and they go in headfirst, and are pioneers with the ability to manifest their dreams. Here's a link to an interesting description about Arian individuals. http://www.astrostyle.com/Scopes/12_Signs/scopes_aries.htm

Secondly, "are they really warriors" well yeah of course we are. Aquarians are, Pisces can be warriors if they want to be, everyone following Aries HAS a little Arian piece in them. What do you mean in asking are we REALLY warriors?

Third, I do find myself getting competitive over stupid little things. For instance, in a game of checkers. Especially if I already feel the person thinking they have the upper hand on me in general, I have to win. I like putting people in their place. An Aries might be blunt about their achievements but they don't lord it over others - I don't, anyway. Or another example of how an Aries (me) is a warrior - I've struggled with my weight my entire life, but never once have I given up trying. Not once! Every day I wake up and set a goal to do this and stay away from that, and think this way.... I'm very, very determined to "beat" my struggle even if it takes my whole life to do it. Many other people would simply fall further and further into depression but it's just not in me to let go like that.

What does this mean? Can Aries please chime in with this because I noticed this strenuous self-proclaimation linked to Aries influence of being a warrior of some kind, being alpha or winning in general. What do you mean by all of this? What have you won? Is that was life is generated around? To win all the time? What happens if you lose?

Honestly? They don't win s**t. They just throw tantrums and act out *so* much and to *such* an extent that the people around them usually just throw the dog a bone so it stops yapping already.

- Writing Competitions
- Scholarships
- Travel grants
- I won a fair bit of money the first time I walked into a casino
- I won a short-film (comedy sketch) comp. and the money went to a breast-cancer charity I felt very strongly about
- I won a moot comp. during my undergrad degree
- Most recently I won a job! lol
- I used to play netball in school and our team often won, if that counts.

Is that what life is generated around?

No! Life is generated around -action-. All cardinal signs have this desire to -act- and do something/achieve something in the areas they are passionate about.

As our society is structured.. winners are always rewarded.
If you don't win anything and you don't generally do well.. then you are never really in a position to make any changes.. because no one listens to what you have to say.

This is true in any area of life/career... People listen to those who have done well in that particular area and really applied themselves. You can't be the leader of 'anything' unless you have credentials for that - and cardinals like to be at the 'head' of things.. rather than being subordinate. This is because they have several ideas and their own individual/independent style of getting things done.

To win all the time?

No. It is not winning for the sake of winning - unless the person is a little nutty.. and there are nutty ones in every sign lol
There is always some kind of goal and importance... Whatever it is that they win is important to them - otherwise they wouldn't be competing in the first place. Actually fire signs (including aries) tend to ignore everything that doesn't interest them.

I think this is a good interpretation from - cosmic imperative:

Rub a match lightly a few times on the ignition strip of a matchbook -- no ignition. Next, apply more pressure until the match ignites and suddenly burns brightly. Hold the burning match for a few seconds, then light a piece of paper with the burning match. Let the match go out after it is placed on a fire resistant surface (plate, ashtray, etc.). Light other matches and extinguish them by putting in water, blowing on, and smothering.

At first, the match does not ignite when lightly struck, but with harder rubbing (more friction, thus higher ignition temperature) does start burning. Fire people need the proper amount of stimulation before they will show any interest in a situation, but once "ignited", fire people get intensely involved. Before ignition, fire seems completely disinterested. The only speeds on the fire gearshift are stop and ahead fast; the gear shift is made suddenly.

Once the fire has started to burn, the flame only burns along the match (fuel), not out into the air or along the plate when the match is placed on the plate. Fire only moves toward what interests it personally (fuel) and ignores the rest (non-fuel: air, plate) as if it didn't exist.

What happens if you lose?

At their best people with dominant Aries in their charts can be courageous, fearless, driven, and pioneering. AT their WORST they can be immature, overly aggressive, pushy and insensitive.

First you have the camp of people who are threatened by aries.. or by aries-interpretations.. because they feel inadequate for whatever reason or envious because they want to be described as 'warriors' themselves.

Then you have the people who are simply scared or confused because they have had issues with aries-influenced folk in the past.

Then you have aries people who relate to the archetype and others who don't and others who don't seem to completely understand it.

And last but not least - the aries-influenced people getting defensive - acting like "oh nooo... I can't ignore this skits.. I must reply to the insecure/envious/scared/confused/overly astro-centered folk and fight in the name of 'aries'!!" LOLLL

I have this close girlfrind for years, I love her, shes the aries sun sqaure mars I mentioned(I know the sqaure is making it more negatively intense). My other friends and my family all hate her, I'm tired of standing up for her. They say she is rude and demanding and selfish, they say she only thinks about herself and she NEVER says thank you for anything like a normal person, it doesnt matter what u do/give her. She refuses to say thank you for anything. I dont think its that big of a deal, but other people in my life hate her for it.

I think it's her sun square mars that's the issue here. That's what's making her the way she is.

Please do. From a fellow Mars in Aries.

As a Martian/Venusian (leaning heavy Venusian with Sun and Mercury in Libra and Venus in the 7th), I think it's only natural to want to defend astrological symbols against stereotypes and false generalizations in order to avoid misunderstandings.

It's too much

I wasn't getting defensive though, I'm quite plutonian myself (8th house pluto in scorp, sun sextile pluto by 1 degree etc) but I'm just telling it like it is. Scorpio placements do make people prone to mind games and control issues and Aries aren't *just* immature and difficult.

What I find amusing is that many people who don't even consider themselves Martian could be seen as even more Martian then those with planets in Aries based on planetary house placements and aspects. Very amusing indeed...

I got that vibe from lindisfarne too I think the whole generation with Pluto in Scorpio has an intensity that rubs many folks the wrong way. I was amused in the other thread about Aries too.
