This (and this) is why Aries argue

Gemini is the first sign of the zodiac. As soon as the sun enters this zodiac sign, the new astrological year also begins. That happened recently, on March 20. The start of Aries season is accompanied by a good dose of pure energy. That’s not surprising, because Aries is bursting with passion, enthusiasm and fighting spirit – but what about arguments? It’s definitely the last one we’ll get into today.

Ram in controversy

Gemini is one of the most adorable zodiac signs of them all. We need the energy and enthusiasm of Aries to take on new projects with enthusiasm. If you are an Aries, you will recognize this. Where others see obstacles in the way, you have already started something. You don’t wait for others to motivate or encourage you to get started. This of course has to do with your fighting nature. Although you may not admit it right away, you always want to be better. Even if there is no competition, it turns into competition. You have a winning mindset and this is your way of doing things.

All of that can be traced back to your ruling planet, Mars. All zodiac signs have a ruling planet whose theme provides a clear link to their nature. For Aries this is Mars, which is also called the ‘planet of war’. Mars represents the masculine, aggressive energy within us. That might sound bad, but it doesn’t have to be. This also includes topics such as passion and drive. When you act from a strong drive or from anger, then it is the turn of Mars.

The nature of inspiration

That makes you, Aries, a very driven person. And if there is an argument, that applies too. You are not the type to avoid confrontation. You speak directly to the other person if they do something you don’t agree with. And when emotions run high, you don’t want to wait until you or the other person calms down. You want to resolve the issue immediately. Your impulsive and impatient nature seems to come out when the going gets tough. We probably don’t have to tell you that this is not always well received.

Despite all this, you do not shy away from challenges. If this seems familiar to you, try teaching yourself to count to ten. At least. Start a conversation as soon as you have time to think about the situation. In this way you avoid being led by strong anger and thus saying things that you regret later. And you know, the fact that you don’t let people walk all over you is also worth something.
