Aries as a friend

If you’re a stodgy stay-at-home, you don’t want a Martian marvel for a mate. If your idea of a good time is a quiet night in front of the TV. your Arian pal will drag you off to the sports centre or down to the pub quicker than you can say ‘What’s on next?’ Arians make fantastic friends. They can transform your life, turning a dull and dreary day into something bright and breezy.

These folk will try anything once, and will get you to have a go, too. In fact, Arians can be like a walking bottle of tonic wine, making you bounce about, as if you’d just had an injection of iron. There are a lot of wilting wallflowers who’ve become pepped-up pansies, simply because an Arian has watered them, dusted their leaves and given them a new lease of life, with their very own brand of Baby Bio. Now, hold on a minute, before you gallop off to grab a whole farmyard of lively lambs. Arians don’t like competition. If you’re the mate of a Martian, you can’t be a rival to your Ram. He or she may love you dearly but will hate it if you forge ahead in any way. Some Arians pick pals they can pounce on passionately when the fancy takes them. But many Martians choose chums who are inferior in some way, and perhaps just content to sit on the sidelines and watch them, showing off. You must be prepared for an active social life when you’ve got an Arian friend. If your Martian mate rings you up and asks you out, try not to say, ‘But I’m washing my hair’. But usually, once you’ve attracted an Arian, as a friend or a lover, he or she will devote a lot of time to you. But let’s not kid ourselves.

This is a Cardinal sign, so the Arian will always have one eye on the main chance and think it’s worth their while having you as a mate, because you’ll be of help somehow. But the other eye will be pinned on your personality and that’s when the Arian will help you and cheer you up when you’re down in the dumps. In fact. if you’ve just lost something, whether it’s a loved one, your bet on the 2.15 at Aintree, or all your marbles, one of the best signs to have around you is Aries. Most Martians have a plethora of pals, but there’s always a central cast of cherished chums that doesn’t change.

Others may come and go especially if the Arian fancies them and lures them into bed! Sex often plays a part in a friendship for this sign. Arians can get fun, and friendship mixed up, and sometimes ruin everything in the process. If your pal suddenly pounces, remember not to show any signs of attachment, or you won’t see the Arian for dust. But you can have a grand time with a Martian mate if you keep your wits about you and are full of fun and frolics. You have only to think of Rupert Bear taking his pals on adventures to see a Martian mate at his best. There’s never a dull moment with a Ram. Can you stand the pace?
