Free Linda Goodman's Sun Signs by Linda Goodman

She’s the best bet to approach under these circumstances. Because of his conviction that she’s going to make the future what she wants it to be, Aries is seldom bothered or concerned by the past. Yours or hers.
    The Mars executive is too proud to let others know they’ve hurt her. In spite of quick outbursts of temper (which won’t last long or be vindictive, and will be forgotten as soon as they’re over), she will hide quite well those things which truly affect her deeply. The ram won’t admit her dependence on anyone but herself. She does need others—far more than she will ever admit, but his strength comes from inside, and she can always find a way of going it alone when she must.
    If you can admire her energy and courage, though you find it impossible to imitate; if you can make up for his impulsive, slapdash ways by patiently filling in the details she’s overlooked in haste (and do this unobtrusively), she’ll probably pay you more money than you can make anywhere else and you’ll be with her for life. Tactfully attempt to keep her from doing or saying rash things she’ll regret later. Remind her gently that those to whom she directs his temporary righteous anger may be Very Important People and they could react in a way which will hurt his business if she alienates them.
    That’s the important thing to remember about your Aries boss. In spite of her great independent spirit, when her idealistic, optimistic enthusiasm gets her in over her head, she really needs your help, faith and loyalty. Give these to her in abundance and you’ll never find a pink slip in your pay envelope. You won’t have to worry when missing a taxi in rainy weather makes you late for work, if you need an extra week’s vacation time for an operation—or about someone younger and more efficient replacing you. More than any other kind of boss, she’ll repay loyalty with loyalty. Keep a full supply of aspirin in the desk drawer for frequent emergencies, polish up your smile, don’t take his outbursts seriously—and you can forget about online job searches. You’ll want to stay where the action is.
The ARIES Employee
    â€œI said it very loud and clear
    I went and shouted in his ear
    And when I found the door was locked
    I pulled and pushed and kicked and knocked….”
    â€œBut it’s no use going back to yesterday
    Because I was a different person then.”
    A job interview with a prospective Aries employee, if he’s a typical ram, might run something like this:
    EMPLOYER: I see from your resume and references that you’ve been with six different firms in the past two years, Mr. Bootsikaris.
    ARIES: Call me Charlie, Mr. Flaxman. Yes, I believe in trying to advance myself. When you outgrow a job, what’s the point of staying in a position where there’s nothing more you can learn and nothing more you can contribute to the company?
    EMPLOYER: That’s just what bothers me, Char—uh, Mr. Bootsikaris. I’m afraid you may outgrow us in a short time, also, after we’ve spent the money to train you.
    ARIES: I thought that might concern you. But you don’t have to worry. I’ve investigated your company, and I’m sure I wouldn’t feel restless, because I can see there’s plenty of opportunity with you for anyone who really tries. I’ve always wanted to work with a really great, creative and progressive management. This kind of organization is so rare, I’d rather wait ‘til there’s an opening here than go anywhere else.
    Needless to say, the boss who can overcome her initial shock at such an unusual interview is likely to hire the Aries on the spot. That kind of sincere enthusiasm for the company is hard to come by these days—never mind the abruptness and the superego.
    Hiring an Aries can be the smartest move you ever made or the largest headache you’ve ever known, depending on how you
