Aries' Planet: ♂ Mars.
Have you dreamed of a sweeping, passionate romance ever since you were young? An Aries man could be exactly what you have in mind. His feelings are powerful, but they're also wonderfully romantic. When he falls in love, he's delighted to put the object of his affection, meaning you, on an impossibly high pedestal. Flowers, presents, candlelit dinners: all the lovely things follow.
The trouble with a pedestal, of course, is how easily you can fall off it. Try not to shatter his romantic picture of you, at least before the wedding.
How to Win an Aries Man's Heart
He thinks you're his dream woman? Give him reason to believe it. The Aries man sees himself as the classic masculine hero, and wants a thoroughly feminine counterpart. Start by letting him take the lead in your courtship. Coming on too strong or pursuing him relentlessly is one of the quickest ways to scare him off.
Don't get too comfortable about making an effort, either, whether you're dating or living together. Even at home, a thoughtfully chosen outfit, a light touch of makeup, and a mischievous sparkle in your eyes can keep him yours forever.
Want to lose him for good? Give him cause for disappointment or suspicion. This romantic idealist thinks you're something otherworldly. Even flirting you consider perfectly innocent is out of the question in front of him. Once he's furious, explaining that you only wanted to test his feelings or make him a little jealous won't get you far. His feelings are already running hot; they don't need a test. Flirtation and jealousy have no place in his vision of you as the perfect Juliet.
Life with an Aries Man
For his part, this straightforward, candid man isn't inclined to cheat. As long as he's in love with you, even twenty years into a marriage, there's no room for flings or passing crushes. To him, love should live up to a novel: just as beautiful, just as thrilling. If it no longer does, he won't deceive you or drag things out indefinitely. If it comes to that, he'd rather leave honestly than look elsewhere for the romance he's missing.
Honesty, directness, energy, and the need to come first all belong to the Aries package. If you marry him, understand that he expects a very traditional arrangement at home. He can appreciate, and even encourage, your independence at work. In the family, though, he considers himself the unquestioned leader and expects you to accept that as a given.
At home, he sometimes lets his temper loose. These outbursts can come out of nowhere. Arguing with him at that moment is about as productive as arguing with a hurricane. Once he has calmed down, which happens fairly soon, there's a chance he'll listen to your reasoning.
One reliable way to set off that storm is to criticize him. Fair or not, criticism has the effect of a red flag waved in front of a bull.
Here's the surprising part: for all his old-fashioned ideas about who's in charge, he needs you to be your own person. A woman with no will of her own, whose entire life revolves around her husband, is definitely not for him. A contradiction? Absolutely. But independence combined with wholehearted admiration for him is exactly what he wants. In principle, all it takes is loving him with your whole heart, just as he loves you.
The Aries Man as a Father
Aries makes a wonderful father. He loves his children and takes real pride in them. Sometimes he pushes too hard and puts them under pressure, but on the whole, he knows how to connect with them.
