Aries are fire signs and those born under this element are regarded in astrology as adventurous, active and outgoing. It won't matter where you go or how remote or unusual it is - from the Outback to the Antarctic - you can be sure that an Aries has been there before you (or at the very least you will meet one along the way!) Aries is a uniquely naive sign. Although they are independent, outgoing and assertive they are also surprisingly trusting, often innocently walking into the lion's den at times. No matter what upheaval, challenge or triumph they confront - an Aries has a wonderful ability to bounce back. Their faith in life and the future remains untouched by hardship. Their gift is that they are always children at heart and the world is always a magical place for them. Many famous sports people are born under this sign. Aries is regarded as the most physical sign and because of its Mar's rulership; it is also one of the most highly charged masculine energy signs in astrology. No wonder women born under Aries are forceful, dynamic and aggressive, and as a result these Aries women frequently find themselves with dilemmas surrounding their romantic relationships. For them, a man has to be a 'real man' to deal with an Aries woman, otherwise she intimidates him. And conversely for the Aries male, a woman has to be a real woman to deal with him, because he is looking for many balancing component traits (his true feminine side) in his partner. She has to run the gamut in his support system, from the Aries man's best friend, true companion, through to his muse, and yet she must never ever answer him back!

Therefore Aries can be a confusing sign because there is a complex combination of very strong masculine and feminine expressions all combined together. Because of the male energy surrounding it, when a woman is born under Aries, it creates some of the most interesting women in the world, women who are adventurous, independent and have competitive natures. It also tends to make them very forthright.

But whether male or female, Aries people are 'doers' rather than 'talkers'. They are the impulsive, act first, ask questions or have doubts later, sign of the zodiac. That's why their lives are often filled with many dramas and sometimes even accidents! Their ability to live life close to the edge provides them with a wealth of 'real experience' to call upon. When an Aries person talks about something or somewhere they've usually done it or been there, rather than simply read about it in a book. Being active people Aries can't adapt to any kind of restriction, particularly possessive relationships. They often travel to escape any feelings of being stuck or possessed. Aries people love challenges. In fact, if everything is running smoothly, they are quite capable of going out and doing something (sometimes quite foolish) to rock the boat. Aries love to race in where angels fear to tread.

How compatible is your star sign with another star sign?
your fully- detailed astrology report no ordinary horoscope can provide.

If you were born on the first or last day of a Sun sign, in astrological terms you were born on a cusp. If that's the case, you will probably benefit from reading your own Sun sign and the Sun sign that ends or begins right before or after your date of birth. For example, if your birth date is 22 December, your Sun sign is Capricorn, but you probably have some Sagittarian traits as well

INDIA VS NEW ZELAND

WELLINGTON (Reuters) - India were just one run short of New Zealand's first innings when they accepted an offer of bad light on the second day of the opening test in Hamilton on Thursday.

The tourists were in complete control at 278 for four in reply to New Zealand's modest first-day effort of 279 when the umpires offered them the chance of an early finish.

Sachin Tendulkar, who survived a dropped catch on 14, was unbeaten on 70 with Yuvraj Singh not out eight after Gautam Gambhir and Rahul Dravid both scored half-centuries earlier.

Gambhir struck a patient 72 while a composed Dravid made 66 to lay the platform to build a healthy first innings lead on a flat batting deck that offered little encouragement to the bowlers but was difficult for fast scoring.

"There was something in it for them right through the day. The ball kept swinging a little bit and when you bowled in good areas it wasn't easy to drive," Dravid told reporters.

"You always felt you were never really in, you had to work hard for your runs. I got a pretty good one when the ball was 60 overs old."

New Zealand made a bright start when they dismissed opener Virender Sehwag at the start of the morning session, which was delayed by 15 minutes because of overnight rain.

Sehwag had added just two runs to his overnight score of 22 when he was run out at the non-striker's end by a direct hit from James Franklin.

But India, who had resumed on 29-0, dominated the rest of the day with their batsmen adopting a steady approach at Seddon Park.

Gambhir brought up his half-century off 101 balls to help India reach lunch on 108 for one but lost his wicket in the middle session when he was caught behind by wicketkeeper Brendon McCullum off the bowling of Chris Martin.

Dravid brought up his fifty off 108 deliveries but a momentary lapse in concentration cost him his wicket when he was bowled by Iain O'Brien.

New Zealand almost had a fourth scalp just before tea when Tendulkar mistimed a pull off Daniel Vettori but Daniel Flynn failed to hold a difficult, running catch at midwicket.

India went to tea on 197-3 but lost Vangipurappu Laxman in the final session when Martin was given the second new ball and the batsman edged to Ross Taylor at first slip on 30.

Tendulkar made the most of his let-off as he crawled to his half-century off 118 deliveries but survived the day in sight of a hundred.
