With your executive decision-making ability and general verve, you’re a self-starter and an effective leader who likes to initiate change. Ambitious and competitive, you rise to a challenge. But you’re a sprinter, not a long-distance runner. You love the unmistakable thrill that comes at the beginning of an undertaking, when creative momentum is high and the possibilities are wide open. You’re happy to experiment and innovate. But once things have settled into a routine and the endeavor becomes weighted down with procedures, precedents, and supervisors, your excitement wanes. You find it dispiriting to spend time focusing on details or doing standard maintenance tasks. Quitting too soon is one of your worst and most frequent mistakes.

Aries craves autonomy. Independent and feisty, you’re a solo act, most contented working on your own or being the boss, preferably in an enterprise that allows you to set your own schedule. When that’s not possible, you benefit from physical activity and the opportunity to participate in a variety of tasks. You’re easily bored, and your need to express yourself is stronger than your need for security.

Pie-in-the-sky careers include being a film director like Francis Ford Coppola, Quentin Tarantino, or Akira Kurosawa, all Aries; a talk show host like David Letterman, Conan O’Brien, or Rosie O’Donnell; an entrepreneur like Larry Page, cofounder of Google; and anything that feels dangerous or has a high excitement quotient, such as being a stuntman or working in an emergency room. Surgery is said to be an Aries profession, as is anything that involves fire (such as cooking) or the military. I know Aries who are devoted activists, artists, attorneys, educators, musicians, writers, and entrepreneurs. Whatever your calling, it’s not something you choose for money or prestige. You’re drawn to it because it offers you a way to make an impact on the world and to express your incomparable, adventurous self.

If you work for an Aries, be aware that your boss will most likely be impatient with anyone who can’t keep up or requires excessive supervision. Your best move is to work independently and quickly — and don’t take those angry explosions personally.
