Associated traits
The following traits are widely associated with this sign.
Physical traits
Many astrologers believe that each sign of the zodiac has identifiable physical traits. Aries are believed to have a strong, athletic, well-proportioned body. They also can have an elongated face with a well-rounded and broad forehead. The chin is also prominent. Many females will have definitive jaw lines and accentuated cheekbones. Males will possess a dominate Adam's apple. Both will have strong eyebrows that knit together as well as clear and penetrating eyes. There is a ruddy cast to the complexion and the noses of both sexes are high-bridged and straight. [6]
Compatibilities
Aries is widely thought to be compatible with same element signs, Sagittarius[7][8] and Leo. Sagittarius is the ninth Astrological sign in the Zodiac, originating from the constellation of Sagittarius. Leo is the fifth Astrological sign of the Zodiac, originating from the constellation of Leo. [7][8]
There are many variables that determine compatibility in astrology, such as birth dates, birth months, birth years, position of a sign within the Sun, the Moon, Stars, etc. The signs listed as compatible with Aries do not reflect an individual profile or individual reading as interpreted within astrology, but rather reflect a general guideline and reference to compatibility as dictated by variables such as Qualities and Elements within the Zodiac. Zodiac denotes an annual cycle of twelve stations along the Ecliptic, the apparent path of the sun across the heavens through the Constellations that divide the ecliptic [7]
Professional astrologers rarely boil compatibility down to just the sun-sign. The branch in astrology dealing with interpersonal compatibilities is called Synastry. [9]
