Those born with Aries ascendant are known to be straightforward, impulsive and quick to act on their gut. They live for the thrill of competition and shine when they win at or achieve something – which is likely to be often. Read on to learn more about the Aries Ascendant.
Understanding the Ascendant
Known also as your Rising sign, the Ascendant represents the spot where the Sun sat on the horizon at the time of your birth. Many astrologers consider this to be the “awakening consciousness” of the soul that represents how we present ourselves to the world. With each planet accounted for in the chart, some astrologers consider the Ascendant the placement for the planet Earth.
This is a powerful aspect of your personality that influences people’s first impressions of you, how you interact socially, and how you view and relate to others. The Rising sign determines how a person looks and acts around others. It is also an important element when it comes to what impact the individual has on everyone, symbolizing the first impressions people get about a person.
When you meet a person for the first time, you are judging them on their social mask, or their Ascendant. The more you get to know them, the deeper you go, the more you see their Sun sign and ultimately their Moon sign behaviours. The Ascendant is more physical and instinctive than the Sun and the Ascendant is known to refer to the appearance and “to seem,” whereas the Sun stands for what is hidden and “to be.”
Aries Ascendant: Pioneering Spirit, Impatient Soul
Patience is a virtue but a challenge when it comes to this placement. They can find it difficult to be around slow-moving individuals who protest activity. Those with an Aries Placement choose to just do the work themselves, rather than wait for others to pick up the pace.
As with the Aries Sun Sign, the Aries Ascendant is known for their impulsivity, razor-sharp mind and temper. Significantly few people recognize one of their best traits: they are fierce supporters of their loved ones and rarely, if never, hold a grudge.
These individuals are independent, while having gretconfident in themselves and their abilities. They usually manage to make their dreams come true by sheer willpower, nerve and gut.
The Aries Ascendant Personality
The Aries Ascendant has a fire in their gut and their souls that help them achieve the most significant challenges in life.
Sometimes, when these people set their sights on a goal or a dream, it can be hard to pull them from it. Because of this, they can tend to be selfish in the most ruthless way. In some cases, they will find it tough to consider others simply because it will pull their precious attention and time away from their goals.
Depending on other aspects of their chart, this ruthlessness may be softened. There is something that exists within these souls, a loving, nurturing and kind attitude that shines through for those they love the most. They will always stand up for what is right and defend their loved ones, friends and family. Having any Aries placement in your corner is ultimately a win. Their warm fires will spark and excite you and their support will help you achieve anything.
Bucolic Desires
Aries Ascendants desire a deep love and a beautiful, calm life. When it concerns the matters of the heart, they are more like their opposite sign, Libra. But, this is a secret that they keep close to their chest. Many of their confidants may never know within them exists a great desire that goes beyond their goals of greatness. They may dream of a quiet life, with a deep love and a beautiful family. This is will only be something they only reveal to their partner.
Some may find this placement to be overwhelming due to their determination and impulsiveness. But these are traits that are vital to their upbringing and their overall growth into adulthood.

The Aries Ascendant native shines brightest when they are working on something impactful and pioneering. Working towards projects or milestones and critical to these individuals’ happiness. It’s essential for them to have a way to channel their limitless energy if they hope to find joy in life.
Necessary Physical Expression
Ruled by Mars, Aries in a chart can bring a need for a physical expression of power. They feel most fulfilled when they have ways to release all of their pent up emotional and physical energy.
If this doesn’t happen, you can expect them to be aggressive, restless and very impatient.
The Aries Ascendant individual is highly energetic, impulsive, eager to start things, and opinionated. At times, they can be restless but are quite thoughtful and straightforward. They hate being tied down or told what to do.
It’s advised that individuals consider learning how to be more tactful, patient and thoughtful for growth. From words to actions, weighing each out is paramount for their personal development. Depending on what other aspects are in a chart, this Ascendant can be easier to manage, fueling self-growth, change and using their extreme focus and drive to help others positively.
More underdeveloped Aries Ascendants would be wise to learn how to focus their energies on something more constructive, slow down from time-to-time and find joy in the smaller things.
