Aries with every sign

How Aries loves

Aries tends to show love through doing things: turning up, making the plan, defending you in a room you are not in. Aries says the thing, often before it is fully formed. Arguments are short and hot; the repair usually comes quickly, sometimes before the other person has finished being hurt.

Where it gets hard: Patience. Aries can mistake a quiet week for a cooling one, and push for an answer before the other person has one.

Aries commits the way it does everything — all at once — and stays when the relationship keeps some sense of adventure and forward motion.
