15 Most Common Aries Weaknesses

Aries Zodiac Weaknesses


Are you an Aries? If so, you’re probably pretty confident and independent. You’re also probably pretty good at getting things done. But like all signs, Aries have their weaknesses, too. In this blog post, we will discuss 15 of the most common Aries weaknesses. Don’t worry, though – we’ll also provide tips on how to overcome them. So if you’re looking to improve your weaknesses, read on.

If you’ve read descriptions about the Aries zodiac sign, you’ll have heard many times that you’re strong, bold, and brave. While all of that is true, every zodiac sign has its weaknesses. No one is passionate, strong, bold, and brave all of the time!

Instead of trying to hide or gloss over these weaknesses, it’s better to acknowledge them and learn how to work with them. So let’s do just that and take a look at the 15 most common weaknesses of the Aries zodiac sign.

If you’re taking the time to read this blog post, you’re likely very self-aware, which is a great starting point.

15 most common Aries weaknesses

Right, let’s get stuck in. And just to warn you, we’re not going to hold back on this one…

1. Aggressive.

Aries can be aggressive by nature. Even the smallest of qualms can be blown out of proportion in the heat of the moment. They’re very quick to switch into a full-on red rage. If there’s something they don’t believe in, or they think that some form of injustice has occurred, they won’t be able to hold their anger in. It’s really important that Aries learn to let their emotions come and go without reacting explosively in the heat of the moment. Instead, it might be a good idea for Aries to work on communicating their thoughts in a calm and respectful manner if they disagree with someone else, and to take a few moments to let the intense feelings die down. As an Aries, myself, I know this is something I need to keep working on!

2. Competitive.

All Aries will agree with this one. It’s a widely accepted fact that Aries are usually the most competitive person in the group. They’re the ones arguing over the rules when you’re playing family board games, or accusing other people in the room of cheating, at the slightest suspicion. Well, they are a fire sign after all. Aries are known for their passionate nature, and with this comes a tendency to be overly competitive. This can sometimes cause them to come across as rude or rigid and is not the best of traits. Aries could benefit from letting those passionate, fiery feelings wash over them. Reminding themselves that a game is just a game and it’s not worth falling out over, is a great place to start.

3. Narcissistic.

Another Aries weakness is that this zodiac sign can sometimes come off as narcissistic due to their confident, and strong-willed personality. We’ve ranked them as the zodiac sign most likely to be narcissistic for a reason. They are often headstrong and independent, which can lead them to make decisions without consulting others or considering the consequences. Additionally, Aries tend to be highly competitive and may not react well when they don’t get their way. This can make them seem overly self-centered, which can lead to misunderstandings and a narcissistic reputation. While this isn’t necessarily true in all cases, it’s an easy assumption to make if you don’t know the Aries in question very well. It’s good for Aries to remember to check themselves and to wind their egos in when they start to get out of hand. As an Aries myself I say this with the utmost difficulty but… we are not always right!

4. Impulsiveness.

Aries aren’t known for their ability to make calm rational decisions. They’re more about the “live fast die young” style of decision-making. With Mars as its ruling planet and Fire as its element, this combination makes Aries one of the most active zodiac signs out there. This means they’re far more likely to act first and think later, and can often lack the forethought needed when making big decisions. This impulsiveness can flow through into Aries’s love lives, as they are known to fall in love at the drop of a hat, and then fall out of love just as quickly. People with the Aries zodiac sign should try to practice a little patience and reservation when it comes to making decisions. Take a step back and consider the potential consequences of each action you could take rather than jumping right in without much thought.

5. Impatient.

Another Aries weakness is that they are impatient. If they think someone is slowing them down they can be very quick to get irritated. When an idea comes into the head of an Aries, they want to act on it fast. They have a hard time waiting for results and can often act before thinking (see point 4). To counteract this, they should try to find ways to practice patience and remind themselves that good things take time. By practicing mindfulness and focusing on smaller achievable tasks, Aries can start to become more tolerant and patient people. Oh, and don’t forget to take a nice long deep breath. That always helps.

6. Blunt.

Aries are known for their direct nature and lack of a filter. They don’t tend to mince words or beat around the bush when it comes to expressing opinions or ideas. This can sometimes come across as blunt, but it’s usually rooted in a desire for straightforward communication and resolving issues quickly and efficiently. Aries also have strong beliefs and are rarely afraid to stand up for what they think is right. They don’t hesitate to confront or challenge people, which can also be seen as them being blunt. Ultimately, Aries may come across in this way because they don’t always think before they speak. They can end up saying things without thinking about how it will make the other person feel. It might be helpful for them to take a moment to consider the person in front of them and how their words may come across.

7. Domineering.

Aries are known to be quite domineering because of their tendency to take command in any situation, or relationship. This could be seen as a positive trait, as it can indicate strong leadership skills and ambition. However, when taken too far, this trait can become overbearing and oppressive, leading others to feel overwhelmed by Aries’ strong presence. Additionally, Aries can easily become impatient and hotheaded when they don’t get their way, leading to impulsive decision-making that often works against them in the long run. Being domineering can lead to difficulty building relationships with others, as well as creating feelings of resentment among those who have to work or associate with them. Aries must be wary of taking their dominance too far in order to avoid these issues.

8. Selfish.

Aries are often considered selfish because of their independent and impulsive nature. They tend to act on instinct and can be impatient, which can lead to them not considering the impact of their decisions or actions on others. This kind of behavior is seen as being selfish as it means they are placing their own desires above those of others. Aries can also come across as uncompromising and may not be willing to accommodate others or take into account the feelings of those around them. This can also make them appear selfish, as they only seem interested in their own needs and desires. Ultimately, it is up to Aries to recognize these behaviors and strive for a more balanced approach that takes others into consideration. With some effort, Aries can learn to be more socially conscious and considerate of other people.

9. Stubborn.

Another Aries weakness is that they are known for being strong-willed and stubborn. They rarely give up on their dreams, no matter the circumstances. This unwavering focus can lead to Aries being considered stubborn because they won’t back down from a challenge or change course even if it would be easier in the long run. While this can be a great asset in many situations, it can also lead to them being difficult to work with if their plans don’t go as expected. Being stubborn in your relationship can cause deeper issues. We all know the importance of communication and compromise, so if you’re just being stubborn you’ll get nowhere. There’s no denying that Aries will always stand by their opinions, and there’s nothing wrong with that, it’s just a matter of learning how to direct their passion in the right direction.

10. Careless.

It’s not uncommon for Aries to be labeled as careless. This is because they are so confident in their actions that they tend to make decisions quickly and impulsively, without fully considering the consequences. They also like a good challenge and can be quick to take risks, which can sometimes backfire. They often dive headfirst into a situation without fully planning it out, which can lead to problems and come off as careless. It’s important for Aries to learn to take their time with decisions and really evaluate all possible outcomes before making a move. That way, they can be sure that it won’t come back to haunt them in the future, or make them look thoughtless!

11. Vain.

Aries are often viewed as vain because they’re fiercely independent and usually want to do things their way. They like to be the center of attention, so they can sometimes appear a bit too proud or boastful. Plus, they’re always looking to be admired and praised for their accomplishments — which can make them seem a bit conceited at times. This Aries weakness is difficult because they have a ‘me-first’ attitude, so their vanity can be quite apparent. But underneath it all, they’re just looking for the recognition that they feel they deserve. Aries need to learn to keep their egos in check, and not dig too deep for compliments from others. No one likes to spend time with someone who is always putting themselves first.

12. Pushy.

Seeing as Aries is a fire sign, it’s no wonder that they have tons of energy and enthusiasm. This can often come across as pushiness or bullishness. They tend to be very ambitious and goal-oriented and they want to get things done yesterday. Because they are always driven to succeed, this can lead them to take shortcuts or try and bulldoze their way through any obstacles. This can come off as pushy or even aggressive to others, but Aries would just say that they’re just passionate about getting the job done. They also have no patience for anything slow-moving — if something isn’t moving fast enough for them, you can bet they’ll be pushing it along. So, if you’re an Aries and you find yourself being called pushy, it might be time to take a step back and think about how others perceive your actions. Just remember — a little bit of patience goes a long way.

13. Bad-tempered.

Aries are usually associated with being bad-tempered and this is due to the fact that they are ruled by Mars, the planet of energy and strength. As we’ve seen from the previous points in this post, Aries can be fiercely competitive and can often take up challenges without thinking through the consequences. They also tend to act impulsively and don’t like being told what to do. This makes them prone to acting out in frustration and anger. All of that passion and enthusiasm is good up until a certain point, but when it tips into anger and frustration, that’s when Aries need to practice a bit of patience and work on their communication. Try to let the feelings come and go, before you act out in the heat of the moment and explode in anger. As an Aries myself, I know this is something I need to work on.

14. Headstrong.

Aries are known for being headstrong because of their passion and drive. They are fiercely independent and are often unwilling to compromise or back down from a challenge. Aries will never shy away from an opportunity to prove themselves, so they tend to set high expectations for themselves and others. Don’t try to convince them that they should do something differently. Once they’ve made up their mind there’s no stopping them. They also have great ambition and enthusiasm, which can sometimes lead to impatience or reckless decisions. It’s important for Aries to remember that no challenge is worth sacrificing their integrity and values. This can be a tough lesson, but it’s one that will serve them well in the long run. It can also serve Aries well to slow it down and be open to other peoples’ ways of working.

15. Jealous.

Aries have a reputation for being jealous. This is because they tend to want to be in control and can have a tendency to be possessive in their relationships. They aren’t afraid of expressing their emotions, and can sometimes become overly attached to their partners. Because Aries pour so much of themselves into relationships, they often worry about losing their partner’s attention or affection, which can lead to feelings of insecurity and jealousy. They may also be suspicious of their partner’s activities or envious of others who seem to have a better connection with them. All these factors contribute to the stereotype that Aries are jealous. Aries of the world; being jealous is not a healthy trait and you’re never going to have a healthy, happy relationship if it’s based on a foundation of envy and insecurity. You need to deal with those issues on your own and not project them onto your partner.
