"Aries have abandonment issues and therefore are forced to discover and defend a self-construct independent of anyone else. It's this awareness of their oneness that drives them to assert themselves in the world, for no one is going to do it for them," he says. "Thus, 'looking out for number one' becomes their maxim, which gives them the reputation of being self-absorbed in a fiery way," he adds. Remember, Aries, it's easy to be alone (but not as fun).
