At the core of the Aries character lies initiative. When an idea strikes, Aries would rather try it out by evening than let it mature for a week. Their tolerance for uncertainty is low; they want to know whether they are in or out of something, and being stuck in the middle wears them out. The person who raises the tempo when they walk into a room, or who wants to bring a meeting to a decision as quickly as possible, is very often an Aries.
