Monday's new moon in Libra brings a fresh start in the realm of partnerships. While you're more comfortable being a solo act than a dynamic duo, you're not destined to be a lone wolf in this lifetime. Rather, Aries, you need to join forces with people who cherish your individuality and encourage you to grow and flourish. Someone who fits that description could arrive ceremoniously this week, so keep your heart and arms wide open. This could be a case of "opposites attract," so drop expectations about what type will suit you. To adapt an expression: man plans, the universe laughs. A complementary force will mirror aspects of your personality that you might not discover while hanging with a kindred spirit. As someone who loves to be challenged, you'll thrive in a union with someone who isn't afraid to lovingly call you out on your BS when you're going down the wrong path. If you've been casually dating someone, the urge to make it official could strike. Commit and see what unfolds. You'll know if this path is right for you six months from now, under the light of the corresponding full moon in Libra on March 27, 2013. Aries in relationships, consider this new moon your fresh start. If you've been together a while, your relationship may be autopiloting down a comfortable-yet-snoozeworthy path. Get your hands back on the wheel and generate some heat and excitement. A co-created project will help you bond, especially if you develop something that plays to both of your strengths and gives each of you a specific domain to lord over. This could span the range from starting a band to building a house to hosting an epic Halloween shindig. This lunar Libra energy also reminds you that sharing is caring. Have you been a little too territorial or private lately? Let your honey into your secret universe, Aries. Share your toys and make more of an effort to communicate. You might think that the "So, how was your day?" conversations are droll, but they can actually be the glue that holds a couple together. Speak up! Some Aries could find themselves on bended knee this week, or surprised by the appearance of a little velvet box.  Say yes to the dress, would ya? On the financial front, this new moon rules the legal realm. A new contract could be offered to you or you may extend an official offer to someone who you'd like to join forces with. If a relationship is past the point of no return, either in your personal or professional life, severing ties may require legal counsel and this is the week to dial-a-lawyer. Peace, love, and harmony are what this Libra new moon is calling for, so extract yourself from stressful, no-win situations and let serenity reign supreme.

General Characteristics of Aries

Aries is ruled by Mars, the fiery red planet of energy and drive. In mythology, Mars was the god of war and aggression. Highly impatient and competitive, many Aries have the fighting spirit of your mythological ruler. You love to be a hero--or to be swept away by one. As the zodiac's first sign, you were born to be number one. You're a solo star who steals the spotlight and inspires everyone with your confidence. Yeah, you can be impatient, even a little bossy, especially when you don't get your way. As the "baby" of the zodiac, you need lots of attention, and can throw quite the tantrum when you don't get it. Fortunately, you rarely have a problem turning heads. Your friends love to follow as you lead them on the latest adventure. Make sure to let other people be the boss every now and then, too, or you could alienate potential allies. Focus your competitive streak into a diva-worthy goal, delegate to your troops, and you'll rise to the top!
