Aries Celebrities Whose Personalities Make So Much Sense
Once you've met an Aries, you'll never forget it — nor will they let you! The zodiac sun sign represented by the ram is shared by anyone whose birthday falls between March 20 and April 19. Despite its early-spring placement, Aries is actually the first of the 12 signs. As such, Aries folks are natural leaders and innovators. As the AstroTwins explain on their Astrostyle website, "As the zodiac's first sign, they love to be number-one and can be amazing trendsetters and trailblazers. These people are true originals who inspire the rest of us."
Other characteristics of the Aries-born include determination, optimism, and forthrightness. On the flip side, they can also be stubborn, impulsive, self-centered, and hot-tempered, and don't always finish what they start (via Allure). Along with Leo and Sagittarius, Aries is a fire sign — these signs are known for their passion, love of life and fun, compassion, and strength, per Zodiac Fire. (If you identify with these qualities but have a different sun sign, it's quite possible that you have Aries elsewhere in your astrological chart, such as your moon or rising sign.)
Given the ram's outgoing and dynamic nature, it's no surprise that so many of them are in the entertainment industry. These are just a few of the celebs who were born under Aries — and why it's no surprise that they are. (Not included here — but still totally Aries personalities — are Seth Rogen, Emma Watson, Diana Ross, Jennifer Garner, Pharrell, Paul Rudd, and Saoirse Ronan, among others.)
Alec Baldwin has the Aries temperament
Alec Baldwin's natural Aries confidence and comic timing have landed him such iconic roles as Donald Trump on "SNL" and Jack Donaghy, the arrogant producer of "30 Rock." But his typical Aries temper leads him to lash out impulsively if he thinks he or his loved ones are being disrespected. Sometimes the results aren't pretty. He famously snapped at his daughter, Ireland, in 2007 during a custody battle with her mother, Kim Basinger. He called Ireland a "rude, thoughtless little pig" in a voicemail that got leaked to the press and landed him in the headlines.
She has since poked fun at her relationship with her dad through a TikTok in which she said, "Think you can hurt my feelings? My dad is Alec Baldwin" (via Insider). In 2018, Baldwin got into a physical altercation with a man over a parking spot that led to a court case (via Page Six). And when his wife Hilaria was ridiculed in the media for reportedly affecting her Spanish accent, he fought back on Instagram, accusing critics of feeling free to "spray ... their venom and their hate" from the safety of their computers (via E! Online).
Lady Gaga has the Aries forehead and daring attitude
Lady Gaga was "born this way" — that is, an Aries — on March 28, and she embodies the sign in a number of ways. Her looks are one indication: Each zodiac sign is said to "rule" a particular body part, and in Aries' case, that's the head. (Pisces, the last of the 12 signs, rules the feet.) Aries tend to have prominent heads, thick hair, arched eyebrows, sharp eyes, and distinctive noses, per LoveToKnow – all of which describe Gaga to a T. The ruling body part also tends to be a vulnerable area in people born under the sign, which in Aries' case means that they're prone to migraines and head injuries. Sure enough, back in 2012, Lady Gaga suffered a concussion during a concert in New Zealand when a dancer accidentally hit her with a pole, per Entertainment Weekly.
The singer born Stefani Germanotta also embodies the Aries love for adventure and innovation. Whether she's wearing daring outfits (hello, meat dress!), creating the first-ever black perfume, or giving outspoken support to the LGBTQ+ community, Gaga is a ram through and through.
Kourtney Kardashian takes the Aries approach to romance
Being in love with an Aries is nothing less than an adventure, and Kourtney Kardashian is proof of that. The "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" star, born April 18, has the strength and self-confidence to not need a partner for fulfillment — but is too passionate to stay single for long. Her nine-year relationship with Scott Disick produced their three beautiful children, but also a lot of drama that finally ended in their 2015 breakup. As Hello Astrology notes, Arians "prefer to say things straight out than to keep them inside, though at times the initial blast of their emotions is violently intense." Over the six years that followed, she's been paired with Justin Bieber, model Younas Bendjima, Luke Sabbat, and her current flame, Blink-182's Travis Barker (via Us Weekly).
It's not hard to see why Kourtney and Travis are wild for each other. He's a Scorpio, a match characterized by intense sexual attraction and a love of privacy and security, explain the AstroTwins. But Scorpio's temper can be just as fierce as Aries', which can make for some major battles. And when it comes to romantic gestures, Kourtney is more likely to go for unique displays of affection — which perfectly explains why she recently tattooed the words "I love you" (via Instagram) on Travis' already heavily-inked right arm!
Céline Dion is doubly fiery
Canadian-born Céline Dion didn't get where she is today by being a doormat. In true Aries fashion, the superstar is independent, resilient, and determined to live life on her own terms. After suffering three tremendous losses on top of one another — her husband, René Angelil, died in 2016, and her brother and brother-in-law died shortly afterward — Dion took a break from her career to mourn, and came back as strong as ever. She entered her 50s feeling that she was "at the best of my life right now" (via The Irish News).
Céline also has a rep for being a true diva behind the scenes. The New York Daily News has reported that the pop icon has a long list of demands when she tours. She insists on having Bavarian figs and French cherries in her dressing room for snacking, a dentist and throat specialist on call, and 11 security guards. But it's no surprise that Céline Dion feels entitled to these luxuries. According to Hello Astrology, which did her full chart, her rising sign is Leo, another fire sign that is characterized by a love of the spotlight and a craving for appreciation. "They tend to go about like royalty, taking care of their 'subjects' and expecting complete devotion from them," says the site.
