Okay, so something made me start thinking about astrological signs. Dave has been in India for ten days (I can say that now because no crazy stalker will realize my husband is gone and he finally comes home tonight (as if, but you can't be too careful!) Well, I haven't been able to play Bunko in the last few months because Amelia has had cheerleading. I wanted to go this month so bad, so I already arranged a babysitter because I knew Dave was gone. They ended up canceling it though, for the first time in five years...so I got together with a good friend and a neighbor of hers that I don't know very well. We had the best time ever! Then my friend was inviting us to Savannah for St. Patrick's Day, and I was like, "Ya, and we can celebrate my birthday!!!" And they said, "YOUR birthday???? MY birthday!!!!" at the same time! We are all Aries girls and we had just spent the last three hours talking and laughing and just had so much in common, even though there are quite a few years in age difference.
Now I know there is supposed to be "evil" or something that goes along with the signs. But, I really don't know enough about any of that to know ANYTHING. Does anyone want to explain it? I just thought that it all just goes along with the time of the year you are born and certain personality traits go along with that sign. When I read this thing (below) that I just pulled up, it does seem pretty right-on, but if I read the other signs, could I make those fit in to my personality too? I mean, do we just fit the things in because that's what are "sign" is? I really don't know. Meanwhile, watch out! This Aries Girl can be a real &^#&!

Aries live life head first; after all, those horns on your head are not just for fighting. Your headstrong nature can make you a "battering ram" and woe is the person who stands in your way.Aries are noted for courage and leadership qualities, primarily because you are nearly always ready for action. The need for excitement pushes you into new territory -- and as long as you are ahead of others while demonstrating confidence, chances are that they will follow you. As self-ordained leader of the pack, Aries fight for what you believe to be important. But it's not that Aries are fearless. Your courage is more of a commitment to face your fears and overcome them.Aries motto is "Ready, fire, aim!" It may be backwards for others, but you'd rather figure out what to do while you are doing it. Impulsive actions, however, can bring you your share of trouble. While others are gathering information to make informed decisions, you are already on your way. As such, you could suffer from false starts. In fact, you Aries are so good at starting things that you can be off onto your next project before completing the previous one. As you Aries mature, you learn to slow down your reaction time in order to think about the consequences of your actions.Element: FireFire signs are naturally warm. A fire gives light and heat, but it doesn't get depleted as others feed on its warmth. One candle can bring light to a room and it won't burn any faster if ten people read from its light than if there was only one. Fire doesn't plan it next move; it isn't logical. It simply is in the moment and will burn what fuel is available without judgment or forethought. For this reason fire signs can successfully rely on their intuition and survival instincts.The fire of Aries is spontaneous and hot. It's like a pile of dry kindling that burns fast but cannot sustain itself for the long haul.First House: SelfThe First House symbolizes our physical body and our personality -- how we appear to the outer world. It's not necessarily who we are; it's what we bring to a situation and how others see us. It represents our childhood, the beginning of any activity or even the start of a new relationship. It's not, however, about the other person; it's about how others see us. No doubt, everything starts with the First House.Key Planet: Mars Mars is called the "Angry Red Planet." In Greek mythology, Mars was the God of War. But Mars isn't only about fighting; it's about going somewhere, going anywhere. If someone is in our path, then, perhaps we must fight with them in order to keep going. Mars is like the gas pedal of our bodies. It's represents how we move forward in life. In any chart, Mars offers clues as to how we express our basic energy. As the key planet of Aries, it reminds us to "just do it."Aries Greatest Strength: Your courage to overcome fearAries Possible Weakness:Not finishing things you start
