As "the sign of new beginnings", Aries is known,
And like their ruler, egotists full blown.
Associated with the head, is the sign of the ram,
Impulsive and fiery, the storm before the calm.

Stimulating and tactless companions are they,
Direct in manner, what they think they say.
With enterprise and leadership skills to the fore,
Energy and ideas flow from each pore.

As leaders and explorers they do excel,
Many a story they can tell.
Possessing the force of a raging fire,
To reach their goal, they will not tire.

Leo the lionheart is a compatible sign,
The tolerance possessed is just fine.
Or Sagittarius with the optimist's view,
Also a partner for the Arien to woo.

With courage to match a burning desire,
There is no goal to which they wont aspire.
A masculine, positive, cardinal sign,
The leader of the Zodiac by Grand design.
