Читать книгу Bad Birthdays: The Truth Behind Your Crappy Sun Sign - Sarah Fu Christensen - Страница 5

Aries is the boss of it all, or at least the Ram’s strut makes it clear that he or she thinks they own the joint. What is it about Aries that makes them so confident? Is it their natural-born intellect—um, yeah, no, not so much. Aries, just like the powerful, muscular man-sheep that represents them in the cosmic zodiac, have way more brawn than brains. Their handy horns and blind, dumb ambition open doors for them that they could otherwise never have figured out how to work. Aries will just keep at it, battering down obstacles—left, right, and center—until they meet their goals.

It’s not that Aries are sociopaths or anything like that, it’s just that they really don’t care about other people very deeply. They can still operate within a family unit, and show up to birthday parties and ballet recitals, but the only real charge they get is from locking horns with the world and getting their destiny on track. They want to climb every mountain, ford every stream, find every rainbow… you get the picture. Arians need to find their own way in the world and deeply resent anyone who tries to make things easier for them. If there’s a choice between a clear-cut hiking trail and a wooded-over, lesser-traveled path, it’s pretty damn obvious which one the Aries is going to take.

Aries, you don’t tolerate any social funny-business. If someone uses the word “can’t” you might literally lose your mind. You rarely put something off, but when you do, it’s because you’re calculating your plan of attack. When other people put something off, it’s because they’re complete lazy-asses—and you’ll tell them that to their face. You don’t have a problem playing the “bad guy” and laying down the law. It seems as though you would not be invited to happy hour very often, but for some reason people like to have you around. Your swagger makes everyone else feel just a tad cooler. Don’t be too flattered, though. They all talk about you behind your back.
