Predictions for the Aries children:

Aries is the sign of the entrepreneur. Think of those traits that make up a successful entrepreneur: they are bright and hard working, most comfortable working as a one man show. They love to be the first to discover and present things to the world, and rarely allow others to dominate them. Now imagine these traits in a child. Your Aries child will most likely be energetic, innovative and will have a deep desire to be number one in life. Aries children are often a cross betwee Leos and Caprico s. They often have Leo’s need for the limelight and Capricorn’s workaholic nature. Like Leo, Aries is a fire sign and is therefore very with no desire to be bossed around. While goats symbolize Capricorn, rams symbolize Aries. Both are strong climbers and will lock horns with you when provoked.

Self-esteem is seldom a problem for the Aries children. It is not that they are daredevils but that they are quite comfortable taking risks and they have the self-confidence to do so. In general, Aries has the ability to set their own limits and will not do anything too crazy; so go ahead and cheer them on. They do not really need anyone else’s belief in them in order to succeed, but they really do enjoy the praise. It is not that they are egomaniacs. They just really love the positive attention and personal excitement that comes from having calculated a risk, taken that risk and then finding that it all works out beautifully. If the reverse is true and one of their gambles does not pay off, then they are willing to pay the consequences.

Do not be surprised to find that your Aries child is incredibly innovative with one-of-a-kind brilliant insights. Whether they use it to build things, lead their friends on the playground or to design a system for organizing their toys, you will know that your little Aries child is quite clever and has no problem trying out new things. They may have plenty of ideas that do not work, but they do not usually get discouraged. New ideas come to them like breath comes to the rest of us.

They can work alone or in groups to test and study the various applications of their ideas. Aries children are quite capable of entertaining themselves when there are no friends around and they really do understand that Mom and Dad have work most days. They are also very good at socializing and in general are rather easy to get along with. They will occasionally try to take more then their fair share of credit for a team’s victory, but it is not like they do not acknowledge the team members’ contributions either. You may want to keep an eye on their bragging and make sure that they are taught to give proper credit to everyone who deserves it. It is not too difficult to teach them social skills because they do care for others and they care about what other people think of them.

As children, it can be hard for Aries to have an adult tell them ‘no’. They have a clear view in their mind of how things need to be in order for their innovative ideas to work out according to plan. This is the same reason that they are able to work alone as an entrepreneur on a project that they believe in. You will have to teach them that there are valid reasons why you say ‘no’ sometimes. Teach them why the rules exist, why others will not always follow their lead and why it is in their best interest to accept the fact that not everyone is going to agree with them every single day about every single thing.

Your Aries child may come across as very independent and might not appear to be very needy on an emotional level. The truth is that it is very easy to hurt their feelings by not listening to them. They need someone to bounce their ideas off, a cheerleader and a guide, and it needs to be someone who really understands them and believes in them and in their ideas.
