"Every Time I Open My Mouth, My Foot Falls Out?"

MARS: This is raw, crude energy. The planet next to Earth but outward from the Sun is a fiery red sphere that Tangos through the horoscope with dramatic force and fury. It represents the way you reach out for new adventure and new experience. It is energy and drive, initiative, courage and daring. The power to start something and see it through. The power to do now and think later.

It can be thoughtless, cruel and wild, angry and hostile, causing cuts, burns, scalds and wounds. It can stab its way through a chart, or it can be the symbol of healthy spirited adventure, well-channelled constructive power to begin and keep up the drive. If you have trouble in initiating things, if you lack the get-up-and-go to start the ball rolling, if you lack aggressiveness and self-confidence, chances are there's another planet influencing your Mars.

Mars rules soldiers, butchers, surgeons, salesmen - any field that requires daring, bold skill, operational technique or self-promotion. Mars governs the hot Spanish passion associated with Tango and Paso Doble, it rules the fire element in a dancer.

A few of the brazen things the Aries character could say with impish delight:

 "why don't you go to a photographer and have that negative personality of yours developed"

 "you're very shy - especially of brains"

 "can I borrow your IQ? I'm going out with a moron tonight"

 "don't feel insulted, but is it your job to spread ignorance?"

Frankness and refreshing honesty are Arien trademarks, yet Rams don't make the best credit risks. To put it mildly, this sign is very direct. Deceptiveness and deviousness are entirely foreign to the Martian's nature. Others are often annoyed by the manner in which they press an issue. They are capable of becoming quite aggressive when the situation calls for tact and understanding.

Because of this sign's enterprising nature, Aries never find it difficult to keep busy. If it's not the Cha-Cha they're Waltzing down Walker street, then it's the Tango they're tiptoeing - quick, quick & slow  through music lane.

Being extremely independent individuals can often prove a big drawback to the Ram when in need of help from others. Some signs think them rather haughty and arrogant. The weak Arian finds it difficult to be objective in anything. They resent criticism even when the dance-shoe fits, yet will have no qualms damning others. You want action? then lay down the challenge - this sign will take any dare as an opportunity to prove their worth. Never say to an Aries "I'll beat you at the next comp, exam or exhibition contest."

If weaker Aries made an attempt to see or understand both sides of one story, they could improve their own insight into problems. These green little people should do what they can to develop a balanced sense of judgement. It is important for this sort of Aries to prepare adequately before taking on a new project. They should avoid overdoing things as that only ends in total exhaustion without progress having been made.

Every Arian, at times, will indulge in rash behaviour that brings an injury to the head or face. Cuts and bruises. Some are even labelled as walking disasters. These casualties normally stem from Head Bashing, Ramming and Moshing at their regular rave sessions. Our advice to the Ram is "give the Ramming a break, try revelling in the serene atmosphere and activity of ballroom dancing - it's safer". Although Aries is the firebrand, who forges his way through life with daring, initiative and enterprise, there's a strange quirk to their bravery. They'll face the abominable Frankenstein monster without the slightest fear, yet can't stand physical pain, to which they are so habitually attracted. Although a Martian is never a moral coward, physical hurt brings out the sissy in them - a dentist is definitely no buddy of the Ram.

The fun and flair associated with the Cha-Cha somehow activates all the enterprising energies bubbling within the Arian dancer and the best partners to do this happy gig with is Leo or Gemini. But, to quell their wildest passions, their inner fires, Ram needs the violent thrust and fury of the Tango or its blood cousin the Paso Doble.

.Aries and Aries...
ROMANCE: Starts with a flourish. Exact same properties are operating. This one is all brilliant fire, no smoke: cavalier, magnetic, courageous. There is balance, poise, direction, confidence, as well as grace, charm, and humour. A & A play to win and give to get. There is nothing frivolous, nothing small - a towering inferno. There is irresistible will and determination. Romance builds, there's symphonic movement, there's joy. The beat is powerful, the stride enormous, the posture stately. These flames are fascinating.

LOVE: is good times. Affections are intense, emotions are deep. Idealism propels, optimism adds to the speed, the velocity is hectic; intelligence gives direction. This one puts it all up, there are no in-betweens, nothing half baked. It  reaches for love, fights for love...  bugles blow... there is a cavalry charge. It's all high-level, all noble; This combination shapes family destiny... love is in the air, love is lasting, enduring... forever.

PASSION: is tremendous. This one is mental - serves to lavish, to assure, to nurture. There is volcanic surge - nothing is denied, It's all well-intentioned, all ultra; a balanced combination of mind and emotion. There is thrust of movement, style and posture. Physical exchange is the culmination of love and caring. This couple hold hands.

Dance: Starts on the wrong foot. Bodies conflict, dispositions clash, the mood is diametrically contra to the relationship. Relies heavily on passion, love and romance to help it through the mechanics of movement and dance. In dance, paradise is only a figment of the mind, an illusion. Confusion set in - the reality is too stark, unacceptable. In dance, Aries needs Leo to roar across the floor in perfect harmony, but no! "we shall survive". The Ram pair persist with true Martian tenacity, overcoming all fundamental hurdles,  through to the intermediate and on to the final. The road was bumpy but worth the toil, the tolerance, the travail... romance, passion and love conquers all.

To all the green aliens on mother earth, have a great birthday. Enjoy an exhilarating year as you dance and prance your favourites... Cha-Cha, Mambo, Tango and Paso Doble
