Happy birthday to me!

So, today is my birthday. I’m old(er) I decided to look up and see what is said about my sign, Aries, here is what I found, the shortened, pertinent points.

All will hear my views and voice
Trial and error is my school of choice
Like a dragon, dashing and daring I appears
Fighting for those that I hold dear
I am ARIES, child of Mars 

(I have no idea where that came from)

• Born leader
• Impatient (least patient sign of the zodiac)
• Strong desire to succeed
• Motivated
• Must learn steadiness, organization and most of all, diplomacy
• When confronted, grace and charm does not really belong to you
• Hurts sensitive souls
• Has an explosive temper
• Fears rejection
• Suffers inferiority complex
• Immense creativity and energy
• Competitive spirit
• Prefers to be where the action is
• Bores easily
• Optimistic

• Courageous
• Combative
• Adventurous
• Leaps before looking
• Takes risks that shock more cautious types
• Emotionally courageous to the point of recklessness
• Will change their entire lives on a whim in order to follow some dream or romantic inclination
• Accident-prone, not because they are clumsy but because they move quickly and impulsively
• Drives fast
• Craves adrenaline
• Willing to go to new places, try new things and start new projects
• Often have trouble with authority and do better as their own bosses
• Good at self-promotion
• Not suited for detail work and prefer to implement big plans and have others fill in the details
• Good at coming up with creative ideas on the spot but may have trouble sustaining the effort to follow through with their plans
• Enjoys watching sports
• Likes to be around others most of the time and tend to seek out novel and exciting situations
• Prefers people who challenge them intellectually and compete with them in some way
• Thinks fast, moves fast and talks fast and too much
• Forceful and even aggressive when pursuing what they want
• Willing to charge head first into conflict
• Prefers to deal with problems immediately, head on, and will rarely avoid confrontation
• Has little respect for those who can’t put up a good fight
• Honest and forthright, almost to a fault at times
• Not subtle, and they have terrible tempers that are easily set off, though they are also quick to forgive
• Often says and does things rashly that cause strife in their interpersonal relationships
• Aries paradox is a strange combination of selfishness and generosity
• Usually quick to help those in need, even at great personal cost and risk
• Fun, lively, playful, and youthful
• Looks younger than their chronological ages
• Retains some childlike qualities throughout adulthood, both physically and psychologically
• Surprisingly sensitive and eager to please
• Pushy and domineering or controlling
• Idealistic, trusting, and in great need of reassurance
• Anything they choose to do, they do fully and completely
• Stubborn and generally refuse to accept defeat
• Rarely stays down for long
• Have a way of coming out on top in most situations 

 I suppose I would agree with most of that. Except maybe the optimism thing. I don't see myself as a very optimistic person, though I am trying to be better.
