Star Style: Aries

Whether you believe in astrology or not, it's still fun to read up on the characteristics of your star sign and see which celebrities you share it with. We've enlisted the help of our mum (who happens to be a professional astrologer :) to put together a Star Style series. Starting with Aries, the first sign of the zodiac, we'll be focusing on one sign each week, giving a basic overview of its traits, lucky colours, gems and flowers as well as our top ten style picks. Hope you enjoy, and keep an eye out for Taurus next week!

ARIES (21st March - 20th April)

Symbol: The Ram
Element: Fire

Colour: Red, white

Gem: Diamond, bloodstone

Flower: Daisy, honeysuckle, tiger lily, geranium 

Traits: Adventurous, honest, energetic, enthusiastic and independent, but can be selfish, impulsive and impatient
Your style: You are sporty by nature and hate anything overly fussy, tending to go for simple, sharp, classic lines and bright primary colours. 

*It's important to bear in mind what other signs you have in your chart...for example, even though I'm Aries, I also have planets in Pisces, Libra, Gemini and Leo, meaning that some of my characteristics will be of those signs (and perhaps explaining why I am not sporty in the slightest!) If you type in your date of birth on this site, you'll be able to see what you've got going on in yours! http://ephemeris.com/ephemeris.php
