1. We go first

First in the queue. First up the hill. First to say “I’ll do it” before anyone’s finished explaining what “it” is. Somebody has to lead. It might as well be someone who’s already started.

2. We’re brave

Spiders, thunderstorms, the deep end of the pool, the last biscuit when Taur is looking. Aries don’t do scared. We do “interesting”.

3. We have energy for days

Other signs need a nap. Aries need a second activity. And a third one, in case the second one finishes early.

4. We’re ruled by Mars

Mars is the red planet, the fiery one, the one with the biggest volcano in the solar system. That’s our planet. We didn’t choose it. It chose us, and frankly it chose well.

5. We’re honest

If your hat is silly, an Aries will tell you it’s silly. Then we’ll tell you we like silly hats. Both are true. We don’t do sneaky.

6. We never hold a grudge

We get cross fast. We get over it faster. By the time you’ve thought of a clever reply, we’ve forgotten what the argument was about and invited you to play football.

7. We’re the start of the zodiac

Aries is sign number one. The whole astrological year begins with us. Everyone else is technically a sequel.

8. We make things happen

You can spend all day planning a treehouse. Or you can ask an Aries, who will have built half of it by lunch. The half might be wonky. But it’s half a treehouse more than you had.

9. We cheer the loudest

At sports day, at a birthday, at a friend’s first go on a bike. If you need someone on your side shouting “GO ON!”, find a rhino.

10. We’re never bored

Boredom is just adventure that hasn’t been found yet. An Aries will find it. Usually by climbing something.

Arri says: “That’s ten. Done. Can we go now? Where are we going? Doesn’t matter. Let’s go.”

Astrological and zoological. Illogically logical.
