ARIES LOVE MYSTERY

Being magnetic, dominating and rather vibrant, you may sweep the person you love temporarily off his or her feet, but the gilt soon wears off the gingerbread. Your relationships with people are likely to be torrid and stormy, and are usually more on the physical plane. Romance does not have much meaning for you without sex, since you believe more in the meeting of bodies than minds. The Aries man is manly and dashing, attractive to a certain type of woman. An innate coarseness in you may turn away a more sensitive person. When in love, the Ariens enjoy surprising their partners and generally make excellent husbands and wives. Most Ariens are also generally romantic and poetic and their partner, whoever it may be, will find it a fantastic experience - never a dull moment. Ariens tend to fall in and out of love very quickly.

SEXUAL CHARACTERISTICS

Sex plays an important role in the life of every man and woman. It lies at the root of life, and we can never learn to revere life until we know how to understand sex. Indian astrological science attributes certain sexual characteristics to persons according to the sign under which they have been born.
