Aries is the 1st sign of the zodiac. Aries have a lot of energy. They are strong, athletic, and naturally beautiful. Aries make good friends, because they are honest individuals who are easy to talk to. On the other hand, they can be seen as close-minded. They don’t like to compromise. Arians are known for their creative ideas. They set high goals for themselves and aren’t afraid to take chances. The energy of these risk-takers rubs off on those around them. Don’t tell an Arian that he can’t do something! Like its symbol the ram, an Arian will push his way to the top no matter what it takes. They can sometimes take things too far and become physically aggressive. On the other hand, they get bored easily, and don’t always follow through if things are too easy. They enjoy hunting more than winning.

Taurus is the 2nd sign of the zodiac, and the closest sign to earth. Following the law is important to a Taurus. A Taurus will also follow a good leader. Taurus-born people enjoy material possessions. They also love comfort and luxury, such as candlelight dinners and a happy home. Like the bull, a Taurus can be a bit stubborn. This isn’t always a negative aspect. They work at a slow and steady pace to achieve their hopes and dreams. A Taurus will shower herself with gifts after achieving a goal. Taurus make good friends as long are you are in a similar social rank. They are calm and collected, but don’t push them too far. It can be difficult to calm a Taurus down after an incident.
