The Zodiac and Impatience

Disclaimer: with astrology, it is possible to decipher our behaviour or to get a glimpse of the future. This is a theory which cannot be systematically tested. On the other hand, one may wish to follow an easier path, which puts into practice the principles listed in astrology textbooks. In a way, this is precisely the type of practical exercises that we suggest in this Lifestyle column.

We recommend that you follow our advice with both a light and observing mind. Beyond entertainment, the aim is to understand how each of us behaves in various fields; thus, we can better define and fathom, by deduction, how we have developed our natal predispositions. In addition, why wouldn't we be able to guess the talent(s) which we could harness in the future, according to our astrological profile.

The following information is given for signs in their purest form. Depending on the case, it is advisable that you check your planetary dominant or the sign of your Ascendant, the position, quality and aspects of the significators of the area involved, and if applicable, the position of the planets associated with it. For instance, for family affairs, examine the 4th House and its ruler, as well the Moon; for romance, examine the 5th House and its ruler, as well as Venus, etc.

The large number of books we have read, and more particularly, the experience we have drawn from the study of thousands of charts, urge us to be cautious. However, we thought that it may be interesting to provide a few concrete indications, which will turn out to be accurate, quite often.

Aries and Impatience

Impatience for Aries, Aries rising, Mars dominant, or strong 1st House

You, Aries, ruled by Mars, the god of war, have a dynamic energy and a natural tendency towards impatience. Your desire for quick action and immediate results sometimes makes you restless and impulsive in situations of waiting.

For example, in the queue at the supermarket, your impatience inspires you to imagine extravagant scenarios to speed things up. You consider dressing up as a speed superhero who weaves between carts, or starting a trend where sprinting through your shopping becomes the new chic. You dream of installing conveyor belts in the aisles to speed up customers' shopping, all while checking your watch every 15 seconds.

Advice for Aries

Mindfulness and deep breathing are essential for you. Focus on the present moment to temper your need for speed. Try to channel this Martian energy in a constructive way.
