The First to Arrive
Put anything new in the room and your Aries pet is on the case before you have let go of it. A bag, a box, a rearranged corner: it all has to be inspected first, at speed, with total confidence. Ruled by Mars and born at the very start of the zodiac, this pet runs on one simple rule. Whatever is happening, they should be at the front of it, and ideally they should have started it.
Life with an Aries is lively and rarely quiet for long. Their bursts of energy arrive without warning and vanish just as fast, and in between they are surprisingly happy to watch the world from their favorite lookout. They love bravely, bounce back quickly and never hold a grudge for longer than about four minutes.
Five things that make your Aries pet tick
- First on the sceneNew objects, sounds and people all get the Aries inspection within seconds. Nothing in the home is officially real until they have checked it.
- Big bursts, quick resetEnergy comes in sudden laps and flurries, then stops as if someone flipped a switch. Minutes later they are calm and very pleased with themselves.
- Front of the queueIf someone else is getting your attention, an Aries finds a way into the frame. They assume they were meant to be first in line.
- Chin-up courageYour Aries meets the world head on, whether the world is a visitor or a clatter from the kitchen. That boldness is half their charm.
- Clean slate dailyMoved their favorite thing? An Aries grumbles briefly, then acts as if it never happened. Tomorrow is a fresh start, and so is the next hour.
How to love a Aries pet
- Bring in something new to investigate now and then, safe for their species, and let them get to it first.
- Keep play short and exciting with a big finish. An Aries loves a quick win more than a long session.
- Say hello to them first when you come home. It tells your Aries the natural order is intact.
- Praise their bold moments out loud.
- Set up their home where they can see the comings and goings, so they never miss the action.
Very Aries behavior
- Inspects the shopping before you have even put it down.
- Treats every new object in the room like a personal challenge.
- Goes from full speed to fast asleep with no warning.
An Aries wants the good stuff now, and now means two seconds ago. Patience is a work in progress, and they would like you to hurry it up.
