I've met shallow and deep people with varied Sun signs.

The Moon seems like the best indication of where a person is at on an emotional level and the extent of their psychological complexity.
This is even more obvious in women.

Hannah - Having Moon opposite Pluto in Taurus/Scorpio, you were never going to be light-hearted, regardless of your Sun placement!

He is extremely sensitive, an artist. Yes, the fire needs to burn. It is passionate. A child's depth and passion are not to be underestimated. Our society is quite ageist..m children get a bad rap but they're actually closest to god in many ways, right?

I'm not a hot head at all... You'd REALLY have to cross the line for that... If anything I'm the peacemaker like my Libra AC... People do seem to be attracted to trying to fight with me so I have to be careful with people and make sure I guide the situation...

Funny that arts has come up so much... I have been involved in so many different forms of the arts in my life...

Nobody has brought up the physical though... I have exercised myself into muscle collapse a few times... Physically, when I was younger, there was no off button... At one point I was a dancer and would exercise and dance 30 hrs per week... It was hard to stay still...

Many Aries people I know have been musicians or other types of artists, very soulful types. I almost never see Aries treated as an artistic sign by Astrologers, yet in real life, it seems to me that it is. That Aries fire, that Aries passion, it needs to become something in the world, you know?

I agree Geminis get the short stick as well, but in real life do you feel like people see you as something different than you really are? Or that their assumptions are completely wrong?

I think I read that the best time to start. New exercise regime is when tJupiter has a positive aspect with your Mars. It should make the transition into a new physical habit easier.

What is your Mars in?

I'm very overweight, so no, I don't like to exert. But I used to dance. I loved dancing, still love to dance but I'm 26 and there's no serious dance classes for my age group.

I like to go to the gym and move, yes, but getting in the zone enough to WORK. OUT. is next to impossible for me.

Based on physical description I feel sooooo much more like a Taurus.

My Mars is in Gemini too, but it's in the 12th house. My Sun and Moon are in the 11th. Actually I guess it figures I love dancing for sport because Scorpio (house of health) rules my 6th, and Pluto is sitting in my 5th.

Dance classes vary by city... If you're in a major city there should be something. There are things online depending on your style.... Actual classes for flat monthly rates.

It just depends on self motivation which can be the hardest part for anyone. Start with ridiculously small goals and add ridiculously small amounts daily... It's about creating the habit... I did that with jogging when I needed to lose weight. I literally started with a goal of jogging 1 minute straight and went up by a minute a day until finally I was jogging over an hour a day... It takes 21 days to create a habit... After 21 days I was jogging 21 minutes... That's starting something (not to mention that's when runners euphoria was setting in)...

You also have to realize that if you do something 1-2 times per wk you won't really improve much. If you do it 3 times per week you will stay at the same level. If you do it 4 or more times per week you will improve... Keep that in mind to help stay on track... I was doing it 7days a week which wasn't good after a while and lead to problems, so take a day or two of rest but I think better not consecutively and might be better after the first 21 days... But check with a doctor on the details cuz we're all different.

It's always hard but don't think about losing weight or being good or not good enough at something (it's about improving and that's all), just think about creating a good habit and becoming healthier... Let everything else just happen whenever it wants to or whenever it's meant to... You don't need to worry about the other things...

Also keep in mind a starting date that has good aspects to your Mars. You can also try an event chart start time with a trine between the Asc and the Lord of the 6th, and probably nearer a New Moon to ensure commitment to the task.

I'm surprised we have both Sun and Mars in the same sign... I don't know many people with Mars in Gemini...

ADD... I had a friend who started Latin/salsa dancing several nights a week and lost 100lbs in less than a year... Partner dance is a good option and you can sometimes find good places to go and practice... But sometimes girls outnumber guys by a lot so it's always good to get some guy friends involved.

He has gravitas. That's probably what describes him best, to me.

He's sentimental (i.e: keeping little photos of friends in his wallet, which he carries almost everywhere), and artistic (is a graphic desiger/photographer). His art feels very dreamy, has fine details, signs, symbols. There are other factors that may contribute to it, like his 12th house sun, 1st house taurus mars (probably explains why his energy feels very "solid", and I suppose it slows him down a little).

One thing that I do notice about Aries is that more often than not, if they're you're friend/family member/SO/ whatever, their intent is almost always pure. They seem to have an inherit need to be honest and above-board in their relationships, which comes off as abrasive or bossy to some people but they're really not. That's just part of their internal drive.

I respond well to Aries, even though our sun signs are quincunx. Whereas I am more withdrawn and quiet, they're happy to lead the way and take initiative. My Gemini Moon/Mars and Aquarius rising often finds its match in Aries, where other sun signs would usually bore me or send me running in the other direction. They're often the only people who can keep up with my quick and clever thinking. A conversation with an Aries can last days because neither of us is bored by each other.

In my experience, they're compassionate and sincere people who often work very hard, even to the point of physical illness or injury. They're incredibly loyal to the people they care about, and will readily jump to their defense if needed. They're great communicators and as someone else mentioned, they often have a propensity for artist endeavors.

FYI I was raised by a triple Aries (dad) and Aries Moon (mom). My most significant relationship to date was with a Aries Sun/Pisces Moon/Gemini rising. I still consider this person one of my best friends. One of my closest friends in college was also an Aries Sun. I also have Moon/Mars conjunction and a lot of Mars aspects to my personal planets...so a little fire doesn't really bother me.

Just like everyone else here, I also know a Sun/Moon (and Mercury) person in Aries - I love the word "gravitas" because I also think it encapsulates his energy beautifully. Everything about him is this baffling contradiction - high school football captain, 4.3 GPA, graduated from college early with a masters in the humanities, into alternative/indie music, an art aficionado, sports lover, a socially liberal Muslim.. all rather strange things to pair together, but he wears the juggling act quite naturally. Absolutely one of the most fascinating people I know.

And yes a double whammy of Aries in your core planets like Sun and Moon would probably aid in making you physical. Aries should be an athletic sign in most cases, no matter what. At least sports do come easy to me when I try.

What is your dominant sign? Is your asc. Gemini, too?
