The Aries archetype is also about the passion and innocence of youth. As the first sign of the zodiac, Aries leaps in horns first and asks questions about it later. This self-starting personality can be inspiring, energetic, ferocious—and yes, a little intimidating. When you think about the sheer boldness, risk, confidence, and life force needed to start any kind of project or phase in life, that’s all Aries.
