Aries: red flags and green flags

What can go wrong with Aries, what makes them worth it, and the side they don't show at first.

The dark side of Aries

The dark side of Aries shows up when things don't move at their speed. Impatience turns into a temper, and the temper turns into things they blurt out without thinking, which stick with the other person a lot longer than they stick with Aries. They compete even when nobody suggested a competition, and they hate losing, even an argument about which movie to watch.

The good news is there's nothing hidden underneath. Aries doesn't plot revenge or keep score: they blow up, get over it, and ten minutes later want to go out to dinner like nothing happened. The problem is they don't always notice that other people don't bounce back that fast.

Aries red flags

  1. They argue to win In a fight, being right matters more to them than reaching an agreement. If they raise their voice to end the discussion, that's what's going on.
  2. They get bored without a challenge They love the chase and struggle more with the calm that comes after. When things get quiet, they may look for excitement somewhere else.
  3. They decide for both of you They book, plan and organize without asking. At first it looks like initiative; over time, having no say gets old.
  4. They apologize late Admitting a mistake in the moment is hard for them. They tend to say sorry by acting like nothing happened rather than with words.
  5. They want everything now If you don't answer a text quickly, they read it as you not caring. Their clock runs faster than yours.

Aries green flags

  1. They tell you things to your face With Aries there's no guessing. If something bothers them, you'll know, and if they like you, you'll know that too.
  2. They stand up for you If someone treats you badly in front of Aries, that person has a problem. Their loyalty is obvious.
  3. They don't hold grudges They get angry fast and get over it just as fast. The next day, they won't bring the fight back up.
  4. They push you to go for it That trip, that job change, that call you've been putting off for months: Aries pushes you to do it now.
  5. They always have a plan You'll never have to ask what you're doing this weekend. Aries already figured it out.

How to get along with Aries

Talk to them clearly and early, without beating around the bush, and let them cool off before you have a serious conversation.

It's astrology with a sense of humor: nobody is just their sign, and every person has their own red flags and green flags.
