If you have an Aries in your life, the Sun moves into Aries on Friday 20 March which means it’ll be their birthday soon enough.

So what does an Aries like? If they’re a typical little Ram, in conversations they’ll joke, “Enough about me – what do you think of me!?” When they’re excited and on a roll, it’s hard to stop their excitement about their plans. And if you haven’t made any plans for their birthday, they’ll be crushed.

Aries of a “certain age” might appreciate a do-it-yourself autobiography while others would be happy with personalised items. Red is usually their favourite colour – what about a red handbag, gym bag, shirt, t-shirt, or killer boots? Or get them something cool from the RED range and support AIDS vaccines getting to the people in Africa? (Or, ahem… LoveStars reports have a red hardcover and they’ll be all about your Aries and you…)

Most of them fancy themselves as GI Joe action men/Bond girls on the loose etc so give them something that makes them think they’re out conquering the world or at least polishing up their spy skills (hmmm, well to be honest, Scorpios make better spies as they can keep a secret – most Aries are painfully honest).

They tend to have a high sex drive. like to be seen as sexy and appreciate lots and lots of ego-stroking so a sexy novel in which they star, could be music to their ears (come to think of it, it would be a great gift for read-everything-in-sight Geminis, too).

Do NOT under any circumstances, give them something you’ve re-gifted, gotten at a garage sale or dusted off from your mum’s attic. It’ll kill ‘em. They prefer brand-new – every time.
