for the people. not of the people.

since we’re coming to the end of my birthday month, i figured now was a perfect time to share some aries facts from one of my favorite reads – sextrology by starsky & cox.

can’t say i know much about any other sign (typical aries self-concern), but i’m pretty much a believer when it comes to my own. i’m an aries to the core, so none of this should really come as a surprise. just a few snippets…

principle: selfhood is paramount and the aries woman is most concerned with its preservation. she is a realist, taking little stock in emotions or spiritual concerns, which, like everything else in life, are simply matters of practicality. her sign’s matter-of-fact motto is “i am.” (amen.)

polarity: females in masculine signs (fire, air) are not aligned with the gender polarity of their sign and thus enact instead of embody the quality-element combination of the sign. aries woman therefore sees to “start fires,” smoking out problems to bring about desired results. as the zodiac’s premier strategist, she is able to rile others into a fury or otherwise force their hand while she remains cool, calm, and collected. (definitely a handy trait to have!)

sign number: one being the loneliest number is typically not a problem for the privacy-loving aries. independence is of primary concern and a certain oneness with existence is something she is inherently provided to experience. unlike many others, the aries woman doesn’t feel a burning need to be partnered.

psychology: aries woman can be selfish in the extreme. she typically lacks compassion to some degree, and she is often overly contemptuous of other women. she lacks empathy and her competitive edge can lead to under-handed behavior or cheating. she has great difficulty with romantic commitment and will sometimes quit relationships rather than communicate or compromise. as she’s sexually liberated, fidelity is not a particular strength. (well damn…can a sister get some love?)

body rulership: aries rules the head, which, in the case of aries woman, points to the need for an independent mind as well as a strategic outlook on life distinguished by prudence and self-protection. mars rules masculine traits in both sexes, the adrenal system, signaling flight rather than fight in females of the sign. (we already know i’m a lover – not a fighter – but i always thought i had just a little bit of fight in me. humph.)

straight turn-ons (for women): younger men; swarthy looks; rugged builds; body hair, stubble, beards; large penises, foreskin; f-f-m threesomes; sex on-the-side; mutual masterbation; laborers, lumberjacks; big hands, meaty forearms; girl on top; face sitting; (active) b + d, humiliation; cuckolding, groveling; (passive) analingus; standing sex, on the floor; one-night stands; male rape fantasies; strangers, casual sex; male strippers, escorts; role-reversal; male locker rooms; sweat, body odor. (i will admit, i’m disturbed by male rape fantasies.)

gay turn-ons (for women): younger women; blonds; femmes; straight, married women; (active) seduction; (passive) worship; (active) penetration; performing striptease; threesomes, foursomes; one-night stands; first encounters; face sitting; struggle, rough-housing; fingering; mouth music; (active) teasing, lite torture; strangers; f-f-m threesomes; double dildos; biting, nippling; rubbing, humping, scissoring; mind games; (active) lite s + m. (mouth music — dare i ask?)

i’m not a big time astrology guru, but that was fun, wasn’t it?? for a small fee, i’ll let you borrow the book.
