I'm an Aries

I found the following description of someone born under the astrological sign Aries. After each paragraph I've written a thought about it & how I feel it applies to me.

Aries

March 20th to April 20th

Strengths: Adventurous Energetic Courageous Confident
Weaknesses: Self-centered Short-tempered Impulsive Impatient

Yes, I agree that both list describe me, although I've tamed my temper, I rarely get angry. Course I do get annoyed often. But I don't think annoyed is really the same as angry. Is it?

The moment you come across an Aries, the first thing that comes to your mind is his/her friendly nature. The friendliest person in your neighborhood will most probably be an Aries personality. People having an Aries profile cannot tolerate injustice, always fight against it and will defend the weak. Aries, The Ram, is the first sign of the zodiac, considered to be the infant representing birth. Just like an infant, he is also aware only of himself and his needs. However, he is not selfish. It's just that he is totally ignorant of the fact that his needs may be causing you some inconvenience.

The above paragraph is very true and describes me well. I'm extremely friendly. I get along with most people and most people genuinely like me...I think. I'm for sure not selfish, but I do get annoyed when I need attention & I'm ignored. Even if that attention is an inconvenience to the person I'm asking it of. When all else fails I've learn to just tell people to pay attention to me. Works every time.

The innocence of Aries people is enough to cover their, sometimes, aggressive behavior. This naiveté brings fearlessness, while at the same time making them highly vulnerable. They trust people easily, get hurt in the process, forgive and forget, and then, trust again. An Aries person is beyond shrewdness and fallacy and can never lie, not even to save his life. He is what he seems to be. Qualities like subtlety, diplomacy or modesty just don't gel with Aries symbol. An Aries can be calm, wise and serious, but not before he has gone past youth.

Very much me again. I do trust, get hurt, forgive & forget, to only get hurt again. Very painful, but I never seem to learn. Oh, I'm such a bad lier. Most of the time it doesn't ever occur to me to lie even if I will get me out of trouble. I am what I am. I'm not hiding anything. Could this be why I can't find a guy? I'm just not good at pretending. If you know me you know I have absolutely no tact!

He/she is pretty impatient, but liberal with money and material things. Frankness, lack of stability, fear of physical pain, optimism and impulsiveness are some of the basic Aries characteristics. One of the warmest and the most generous zodiac sign, Aries always prefers fame to money. He/she may get extremely angry in a minute, but the anger seldom lasts for a long time. Aries people never nurse a grudge and completely forgive and forget. They will never let you know that they are hurt.

I do value generosity as one of the most important qualities in myself and others. When I'm in charge I am very impatient. When I say now i mean NOW!

They are never shy of apologizing, but they will be hurt if you remember the harsh words they said in anger, but didn't mean. Gossip does not interest an Aries and for him/her, people are either black or white, without any shades of gray. There is one thing an Aries can never fall short of, conversation. He/she can speak about anything & everything under the sun. He/she lives in the present and is a realist, yet believes in miracles. Aries chase success, not waiting for it to fall in their lap, and don't accept defeat. Failure can never keep them down.

I never have been able to understand why something I've said may have offended someone. Never do I mean to offend. I just speak my mind and people take that offensively sometimes. The gossip bit does not fit me. I'm all about a good juicy story. I'd like to think I'm a good conversationalist. Hope so.

Most of the Aries people are involved in business or creative arts or are involved in planning and organization. If an Aries does something for you, don't forget to express your gratitude. Otherwise, he will be deeply hurt. However, that would not stop him from helping again. Aries usually stick to their opinion and won't listen to anything they do not believe. They have a contemplative side to their personality. The simplicity is blended with the blind passion of a born crusader. Aries is mentally strong and always one of the pioneers.

I'm a master planner and organizer. Really I've planned 2 weddings. Neither of which were mine. The gratitude bit is oh so very true. Not a lot of things hurt worse then doing something for someone from the heart and them not being great full expressing their gratitude. I do listen to peoples opinions but it is true that I rarely change my mind once I'm set on something. If everyone had the same opinions how boring would that be? Exactly!

Now I ask all ya'll who know me. Does this description of an Aries personality fit me? How about my insights and perceptions about myself. More importantly how about my perceptions of how I am viewed by others? I'm I close or completely making shit up in my head?
