Reading Suggestions by Zodiac Signs: Aries Edition

Aries (March 21-April 20) is the first fire sign of the zodiac, and those born during this time are often defined by their bold, energetic, and competitive natures and a direct, impulsive, and confident approach to life. Ruled by Mars, Aries individuals are courageous and passionate, though they can also be impatient, moody, and prone to acting before thinking. They thrive in dynamic environments and are natural-born leaders. Here are some reading suggestions with characters who reflect an Aries approach to life. alh 3/26
