Does my Zodiac Sign affect my personality?

Now I have always wondered if the Zodiac Signs that we are born in can affect our personalities and if we were born in them for a reason, so to put it to the test, I looked at my Zodiac sign and my personality. The bold and italicized areas are like me.

My sign is an Aries, born between March 21st and April 19th.
Aries Traits

Arians are known to be generous people. They give of their time, effort, money and sympathies. They have both moral and physical courage and will give support to anyone they believe is being treated unfairly, or to any cause they deem worthy. They are creative, open hearted, and high spirited

Adventurous and energetic – Now I am when I want/need to be.
Pioneering and courageous – Not really sure I’m pioneering, but I am a little courageous
Enthusiastic and confident – I am both of these.
Dynamic and quick-witted – Yes, I am both of these.

On the dark side…

A high energy output is cause for great anxiety in some Arians. Sometimes, this anxiety is so intense and unmanageable that it becomes a cause to abandon a venture out of fear of failure. They then redirect their energy into something new. Another flaw in the Arian makeup is a fear of rejection. Rejection is near the top of their list of fears. If the Arian is not certain of acceptance, to avoid rejection, they do the rejecting first. The best defense is a good offense.

Selfish and quick-tempered – Yes, I am definalty this
Impulsive and impatient – Yes, I am these
Foolhardy and daredevil –Not really

LIKES

• Action – Yes
  
• Coming in first- Yes
  
• Challenges- Sometimes
  
• Championing Causes – Dunno
  
• Spontaneity – Sometimes
  

DISLIKES

• Waiting Around- Very much so
  
• Admitting Failure- Very much so
  
• No opposition- yes
  
• Tyranny- Don’t think so
  
• Other peoples advice – oh hell yes
  

If your birthday falls between March 21st and April 19th, you are an Aries woman: fiery, energetic, independent and intelligent. Your world is in constant motion. If a new challenge arises, you tackle it full steam ahead. Sometimes it’s necessary to be clever in order to accomplish your goal, but never fear, you’ve got plenty of brains to spare. Totally efficient in every endeavor, the Aries woman does not tolerate failure.

Element — Fire

Aries individuals are fire signs. As you would expect, they have sizzling personalities. Being a fire sign always indicates a woman who is creative in unique ways. When influenced by the fire element, spontaneity is infused into their persona. Their zest for life is limitless; their quest for fun never-ending. Fire signs sometime burn out of control attempting to burn the candle at both ends. For this reason, it is best to take a break once in a while to regroup and reenergize.

Characteristics

Women ruled by the sign of Aries possess an impeccable sense of style. Yet, despite all this elegance, they remain children at heart. Although they are independent and outgoing, they are surprisingly naïve and trusting. This openness often leads to disappointment, but the Aries woman quickly bounces back. This planet is her magic place, and she makes the most of her time on it. She’s not a person that “talks a good game,” she actually “walks the walk.” Expect this fiery woman to be impulsive, forceful and dynamic — with lots of drama thrown in for good measure.

Love
Because the Aries woman is inherently assertive, the man of her dreams will be a “real man.” If he is successful, then all the better for her; she likes to place her man on a pedestal (if he is deserving).

A romantic relationship with a sweet, quiet guy won’t work for her. It’s important to choose someone who will hold his own and will not intimidate easily, otherwise life will become way too boring for Aries. On the other hand, they dislike restrictions of any kind and a possessive relationship will end up going nowhere. That does not mean she won’t be a little possessive herself. She sees nothing wrong in that. (I NEVER fall for the sweet guy. It is always the one with more mystery and fire)

Marriage
Once the choice for a lifetime partner is made, there are certain criteria necessary to keep the marriage intact. For one thing, the spouse should know how to keep a little mystery in reserve. He must remember his woman always comes first. In most cases, if an Aries marriage fails it is because the Aries woman is bored stiff, or feels her attributes are unappreciated by her spouse. Before calling it quits, however, she will make every effort to hold the marriage together. If the passion cools and the excitement becomes nonexistent, she will throw in the towel. (Which I believe to be very true)

Money
The Aries woman loves to spend. She is the ultimate impulsive buyer. If she sees it and loves it, she buys it. Thank goodness she’s also good at making money, because her itch to fulfill her wishes is boundless.

Career
Regardless of her career, Aries must feel good about her position and how it fits into her life. It’s important for Aries to feel she is at the top of her game. Aries women are natural super-achievers. It often doesn’t take much exertion for them to accomplish a good deal of success.

Friends
Aries women make friends easily, most of their relationships are friendly without being totally committed. Aries is too busy living life to devote huge chunks of time to others. She has two or three close friends who are spontaneous and adaptable. Whenever Aries seeks adventure, they’re right there beside her.

Health
The typical Aries woman has the physical stamina of a long distance runner. Generally healthy, these robust subjects have been known to stave off the flu through sheer willpower. Arians are simply too busy to be sick. As impervious as they may seem to harm, the same cannot be said for their emotions. As strong willed as they may appear on the surface, their feelings do get hurt and mostly because they don’t give themselves enough time to think before acting.

Home
Since the Aries woman is always out and about enjoying a multitude of different activities, her home is not as important to her as it is to other zodiac signs. You won’t find her painting a bookcase when she can be out having a good time. However, she is fully aware that her home is an extension of herself, therefore she must be satisfied with the way things look before she heads out the door looking for excitement.

Seducing an Aries woman

An Aries woman can be incredibly attractive which is why she is used to getting her way with men of practically every zodiac sign. So in order to set yourself apart, go a little slow with her and cater to her varied interests before getting her to sleep with you. Surprise her with a salsa move that you picked up recently or whisk her off to an evening drive to watch the sun set over the sea. But take care not to put her on a pedestal too early on. Praise her when she deserves it but also keep in mind that hanging her about for too long might fizzle out her interest in you.

Finally both Aries men and women are energetic and passionate lovers. They are extremely creative, exciting and quite inventive. However the thing to remember about Aries lovers is that they more often than not they tend to put their desires first.

This wandering streak is also apparent in the Aries woman. No matter how good a time you have had with her, she simply cannot be tied to a leash. She needs the freedom to express her varied interests and to burn off her abundant energy. She sincerely believes that no matter how great a guy is, they are just not “good enough” for her.

If you are looking for commitment from an Aries lover, your best bet lies in letting them know you are strong enough to take their waywardness in stride. If he or she tries to pull away, let them do so. Trying to hold them back will only make them want to run away faster. If they truly love you and when they are ready to realize this, they will come back to you. But before that they need to know that you are emotionally independent and mature enough for a long term relationship. (I wish the guys who like me would remember this)

So maybe there is something in this Zodiac sign affecting my personality because I see a lot of myself in these traits. So maybe I was born on a particular day of a particular month for a reason, so that it could determin my future. Maybe…just maybe…
