Aries’s competitiveness can be put to great use in the workplace! If you can channel the aggressive attitude of a Ram, they can do an astounding amount of work. Their high energy keeps them going long after others need to recharge their batteries, and they are often the first ones through the gate on a new project. They love to be the best at everything they do and will actively seek out ways to produce better results than their colleagues. Aries are generally the people who come into work whistling, a full half-hour early, just to get an edge on their coworkers. Each day is a new arena and they can’t wait to spill blood and be crowned the victor.

Aries is zealous about knowing the state of the state. He or she will subscribe to industry-specific publications, read up on competitors’ blogs, and may be the only ones who read those company-wide newsletters. They consume all this information to get an idea of the Big Picture and ways to improve themselves—in order to be stronger. They also read national publications, listen to public radio, and can tell you exactly what’s going on in the nation and the world. They are knowledgeable and may even evolve into downright, smug little know-it-alls, but they will take the time to share their information with others on their team.

Aries is a smart, efficient delegator and really likes to be the one who gives out the orders. No one else in the zodiac takes more pleasure from having subordinates to boss around. Conversely, Aries can be uncomfortable if they find themselves getting too much input from their boss, and need to be recognized as the strategic genius they believe themselves to be. If an Aries is unhappy and mistreated in the workplace, they might actively sabotage projects. Their temper and need for control and independence can get the better of them, particularly when they’re very young and/or of a particularly low IQ. They can get incredibly frustrated with low-performing colleagues, particularly ones who offer up a host of excuses about why the job isn’t done. To Aries, anyone who says they need time to think something through is ultimately just being lazy. And then, for some reason, people think it’s rude when Aries tells them to their face that they are lazy, and so quarrels in the workplace may follow an Aries from job to job.
