It’s coming hot out of the gate and it’s Aries, the first zodiac sign in the astrological new year! Aries people are daring, brash, ambitious and simply radiate star potential. That’s why so many iconic celebrities have Aries placements.
As a cardinal fire signAries has no problem pursuing exactly what he wants, with a fire and passion hardly matched by any other sign. So whether it’s the Sun, Moon, or Rising Sign, these 12 celebrities will show you the full potential of this truly badass sign!
Aries Sun
Lady Gaga
Aries Sun people have a deep need to follow their impulses and instincts because they prefer to talk about them rather than just talking about them. When Lady Gaga and Madonna were fighting, her Aries sun shone through as she finally said, “I just want to.” [Madonna] to push me against a wall, kiss me and tell me I’m a piece of sh–!
Mariah Carey
Mariah Carey, the Queen of Christmas with a 5-octave vocal range, is a shining example of an Aries’ determination and ambition. In a world where progress means having the right connection, Mariah fought her way through incredibly difficult circumstances growing up to rise to the top of pop music. That’s because when an Aries has a dream, you’re damned to get in his way. .
Celine Dion
If there’s one thing an Aries knows, it’s passion, and Celine Dion’s musical style exudes the kind of melodrama known to this cardinal sign. Celine’s songs are made to sing in the car, in the shower and with friends because, even though she is known for her ballads, each song packs a huge emotional punch.
Elton John
Because he was exposed to music at a young age and demonstrated a prodigious talent on the piano, Elton John (like all the other Aries Suns mentioned here) knew what he wanted to do from a very young age. It’s also hard for an Aries to put time and energy into things that don’t inspire him, so after a more regimented childhood he rebelled by wearing the loud, flamboyant clothes we know him for today.
Aries Moon
Angelina Jolie
Before there was Megan Fox, there was Angelina Jolie, who gave the world a taste of her punk rock Aries moon at every opportunity. The moon sign is our response to the world, and an Aries moon is known to shock and surprise people, kind of like that time Angelina carried a bottle of hers. then husband Billy Bob Thornton’s blood around her neck in the early 2000s.
Rihanna
This Barbadian pop legend may be a soulful Pisces sun, but her moon sign (and rising) is in feisty Aries! And even though she’s now a booed billionaire with a baby on the way, she’s always been the queen of sass, speaking her mind exactly and everything (or anyone) she wasn’t interested in, in her dust abandoned.
Whitney Houston
Whitney Houston was known for her incredible voice and her beauty, and her down-to-earth ‘girl next door’ warmth. There is a certain kind of fire and passion that only Aries moons can show and we can feel that in the power of her voice. There is a certain level of tension, excitement and drama that this moon sign is attracted to and unfortunately this could have played a role in her complicated and difficult personal life.
Pamela Anderson
There’s a theme with a lot of Aries celebrities and it’s that they don’t have famous or even super successful parents, and that’s the same with ’90s ‘it girl’ Pamela Anderson, who started her career because she was spotted on a jumbotron during a sporting event. It helps to have parents who are in the know, but there’s nothing like an Aries placement to help you become a superstar.
Aries rising
Hunter S Thompson
An interesting character of a man, Hunter S. Thompson never shied away from danger or bad times, and during the chaos he wrote about it. His penchant for dangerous situations does appeal to certain Aries traits, but he really stands out as an Aries rising because of his ability to lose himself in the story he was writing, which gave rise to a whole new writing style, called Gonzo Journalism.
Bette Midler
Bette Midler is a multi-talented star known for her acting, singing and comedy! Because Aries tend to be quick on their feet and good at following their impulses, they tend to have a unique and infectious sense of humor, which was certainly true for Midler and her Aries rising! Not to mention, she was also known for her campy performance outfits, just like fellow Aries Elton John.
Shakira
Shakira is the queen of Latin American music and was born and raised in Colombia. Like many others on this list, she had humble roots and entered the music scene at a very young age. Aries rules the head and it is said that one of the reasons why Shakira rose and maintained her stardom is due to her high IQ of 140!
Penelope Cruz
Aries Rebels are known for their athletic and lean nature. Award-winning actress Penelope Cruz spent nine years of her childhood studying classical ballet at the Spanish National Conservatory. Like a true Aries rising, she knew from a very young age that she wanted to be an actress. In fact, she has often turned away from auditions because she was pursuing a career when she was under 18!
