Aries are impulsive because of their ruling planet and element.
The sign’s ruling planet is Mars and its element is fire. The combination of the two makes Aries one of the most active zodiac signs. Due to this, it’s in their nature to take action, sometimes without properly thinking it through.
The Ram’s natural liking for inspiration, impulsivity, and assertiveness are kindled in the fire element.
The constellation of Aries was named after the ram of Aries in the story, The Golden Fleece.
Aries, usually spelled Ares, is the Greek God of War and was highly impulsive.
King Athamas of Boeotia had remarried after his first wife had died; his new wife didn’t like her new step-children, a set of twins.
The new wife came up with an intricate to get rid of the twins, which included convincing the people of Boeotia to sacrifice the twins to the gods.
The first wife who had died begged the gods, from the spirit world, to save her kids.
The gods sent the golden ram of Aries, a creature that could fly, and the twins flew away out of harm’s way on the ram’s back. One of the twins didn’t survive the trip as they fell into and died in the sea.
The remaining twin sacrificed the ram and presented the golden fleece to his host as a sign of gratitude to the gods. The host put the fleece in the Grove of Aries and had a dragon serpent to guard it.
Regarding the constellation of Aries, it’s said to be that of the sacred golden ram. Which is why the zodiac sign is represented by a ram.
Aries is so impulsive because they love to win.
Their competitive nature and impulsivity are closely related.
The courage of an Aries comes from the Mars and fire element combination.
Due to the combination of Mars and fire energy, Aries is one of the most active signs of the zodiac.
For Aries, it’s natural to take action without much of a thought of the consequences. Their courage comes from this and it can sometimes be rather unreasonable.

Aries was always at odds with his sister Athena, who was the goddess of warfare, strategy, and wisdom. Athena was a strategist and she’d rather bargain for peace to end a war than bloodshed.
Aries was also a lover of Aphrodite, who was the lover of his half-brother Hephaistos.
