ok can we talk about the aries = aggressive stereotype for a sec
I'm an aries and people always brace themselves around me like I'm going to explode and it's so annoying?? like yes I have opinions. yes I say them out loud. that doesn't make me aggressive
I just feel things intensely and I express it. is that not literally what humans are supposed to do??
anyone else tired of the whole 'watch out she's an aries' thing from other people
omg 100% this
I'm a leo so I get a different version of it ('you're so dramatic') but same energy
fire signs just express things fully and somehow that's scary to people who bottle everything up lol
The 'aggressive' label for Aries comes from Mars rulership - Mars governs drive, assertion, and action. In pop astrology that gets flattened into just 'angry' which isn't accurate.
Aries energy is initiating energy. It cuts through, it's direct, it doesn't hedge. In a world that over-values indirectness, that reads as aggressive to people who aren't used to it.
There's a difference between assertion and aggression. Sounds like you're very clear on that distinction even if others aren't.
my best friend is an aries and honestly she's one of the least aggressive people I know?? she's direct yes but also incredibly loyal and will hype you up like nobody else
I think people confuse not-sugarcoating with being aggressive
ok MarcusAstro the 'initiating energy' framing is literally what I've been trying to say for years
I'm going to start using that lol. yes I initiate - conversations, plans, confrontations that need to happen. not the same as aggression!!
the 'watch out she's an aries' thing is so real and honestly kind of exhausting
like at this point I just own it. yes I'm an aries. no I will not pretend to be chill about things that matter to me. take it or leave it lol
