Life of the Aries Man

This article has been written by one of my readers, he is sharing his insight and experience with us which I am very grateful for. Thank you for sharing I hope you all enjoy it!

I am an aries male with Aquarius moon, i think. I am writing to give the ladies who are or were at some point involved with an aries guy, some insight about the aries men from the source- and to vent a bit. I have experienced romantic encounters with female aries, virgo and libra. I will briefly go through each one of them and then share my thoughts and theories about zodiacs and compatibilities.

In my early twenties I got attached to this aries girl who was a couple of years younger then me. At the time I paid no attention to astrology and didn’t realize she was aries and even that I too was aries. She was wild and out and I was attracted to her rebellious nature. If I had to use one term to describe the relationship i’d use "make out" I don’t know if it was the hormones or something else all that we did with each other was make out. There were hardly any time we sat together alone and not tried to each others tongue. lol The sexual tension was intense to say the least. Being with her made me realize, a few years later when i recognized that we were both aries, that aries is a difficult star sign to deal with- in matters of romantic relationships at least. The good thing about the aries-aries couple is that they both love to fight, so when there is an argument each gets off by igniting the fire in the other and yelling at the other and they grow together in their twisted way. Its like a very entertaining pay-per-view fight. Its hard for an aries to get bored of another aries which is real plus because getting easily tired of something is a problem inherent in us arians. She pushed me to out do myself and I enjoyed that. I was taking some time off college to save up some cash. She pushed me to work like an animal and I appreciated that. As I later learned a woman that backs up a man’s work ethic is essentially spoiling him because in my experience such understanding women are rare. She was very understanding when it came to me earning the doh. She went out of her way to prep me everyday like a warrior who is going out into the battleground. I excelled in life having such a strong woman and I didn’t even fully appreciate that fact about her. I have only secretly longed for a strong and passionate girl like her ever since me and her parted ways. You might be wondering so what could possibly have went wrong with this union? Attitude problem. We came to the point where we were in a constant battle to hurt each other’s ego. Somehow It became a love-hate thing where we both loved each other so much and yet couldn’t help but battle at every chance. One thing about us arians is that we are- both male and female- emotionally insecure and don’t like to recognize this fact so we fall into denial about it. Two arians can do a lot for each other but can’t provide to fill the voids that they both share.

Me and her still fight, having broken up in 2006. Until the beginning of this year (2009) we were facebook messaging each other and arguing about who was at fault. I wont lie, I fully enjoy seeing a message pop up every 6-8 months to which i respond with skillful speech. I love to hear I made her cry, many years after we parted ways.

My second and longest lasting encounter (2.5 years) was with a virgo girl. A very intriguing affair to be sure. She was so different in the way she thought, analyzed things, and expected things that it very quickly became a very fascinating challenge to understand this new specie that I had discovered. I could see in her eye that she too was fascinated to say the least to see a creature so different from her. Virgos tend to be slow paced and more enigmatic then the aries can tolerate. At first it was a very unique and magical thing- My rule for relationships is that any relationship even one between two totally incompatible signs will have a grace period of three months at minimum where things would be rather magical. I think you face reality of your relationship in the period following the first three months of the initial hook up. In all fairness this girl probably loved me a lot. She used the term "breaking-love" as in such deep love that can break a person’s spirit if the love fails. I never felt loved. Now here’s the point I’m making, despite all her efforts she failed to make me satisfied. She never boosted my ego- which is a must for an aries man. She pointed out my faults which the aries usually takes as constructive criticism and uses to improve himself. Once she pointed out that I finished my college degree but never pursued specialization in my field. Two months later, I found myself resigned from my job and working on my CPA exam and licenser. I finished it in 8 months and threw her criticism in her face. What I became tired of was the lack of compliments. She quietly acknowledged my positives, but gave no positive reinforcement. A healthy dose of criticism does wonders for the challenge-loving aries as long it is balanced with an ego boosting reward too. Basically to sum things up, to this day, I can’t be sure if she even loved me. Thats how different we were. I mean if I make all the logical deductions then yes of course why does someone stay in a relationship for 2.5 years, why does one cry and tell you they love you. They probably do, but in the words of my favorite band, Savage Garden, "if love was red then [I] was colorblind."

This one made me realize one thing about astrology. I often read people commenting on a supposedly good match, like one between Aries and Aquarius. Someone wrote, "I couldn’t run away fast enough, I don’t see how we are compatible at all" There are many aspects to people, astrology is one of them. So it may or may not dictate the compatibility. However, the non-compatibility analysis is far more accurate in my opinion. An example is the attraction that Cancer women and aries men have for each other. I have personally never had such an encounter. Two of my best friends are cancers so I have a fair understanding of how the cancers work. I have seen that cancer females attract aries male and aries male draw out the cancer females. There is a natural opposites attract kind of magnetism at play here but these two are so different in their needs and wants that this rarely works beyond the grace period of 3-months. If you enjoy a good heart ache then go for this kind of union. Its a natural disaster (volcano) waiting to erupt.

Now Aries are supposed to be best matched with sadge girls, aqua girls and leo. I happened to never find any of these girls appealing in that way. There is a Sagittarius girl who I knew from college. She is a ton of fun. I totally get her. So much so that there is no mystery or intrigue left there. So I didn’t go for her. She is a beauty, the girl who every guy in school wants but is too intimidated to even talk to. Aqua girls are too strange- i hate to use the term freaky but more like stand outs from the crowed. I just never met a leo girl who knows maybe she is the perfect match after all. Oh well.. too bad. lol

I am seeing a Libra girl now. My mum is a libra. This girl is nothing like the libra my mum is because me and my mum hardly ever agree on anything. She reads astrology a lot and says that aries and libra are legendary. I just love her optimistic view point. I neglect to tell her that mum is a libra too. lol. She has tremendous patience which I have never seen in a females- its something I always wanted. At this point in life I have to come to terms with the fact that Aries are hard to deal with. The rules of engagement are so complex and make it seem hardly worth a girls time and energy. I love that this girl is right up there with me. I’m talking about taking a road trip from new york to the east coast and she is enthusiastic and upbeat about it. Most women get exhausted from the aries energy and the need to jump from one adventure to the next back-to-back-to-back. She looks up to me and I love to take care of her. I’m happy to announce we’ve been a thing for four months now. Hopefully things will remain lovey-dovy even after the grace period of love magic. She is a small girl and I love love love that. I love being able to lift her with one arm. Historically I have been attracted to the larger breasted females; I never knew how sexy cup size B could be. I learned that aries men are attracted to the girly girl, whether she be curvy or not. As long is she has a very feminine figure, it work! She is the skinniest girl I have ever been with and I just can’t back to anything else.

One last thing, I want to add is that I recently found that my moon is Aquarius. Someone told me this leads to solitude in life. I have to agree, I often find myself very lonely and unable to hold small talk. Someone with Moon in the Aquarius please tell me more about how this occurance effects the individual. Thank you in advance.

Well this is the summary of my arian life. I tried to keep my rant short and to the point but think I might have failed here. lol. I hope someone will read this and be able to take something form it.
