April 10 in profile
Twenty degrees begins the last third of Aries. The decan belongs to Sagittarius, with Jupiter as sub-ruler, and in some years the Sun is still finishing the Leo decan on this date, so pride and warmth carry over. An April 10 Aries has the sign’s speed and candour, now joined by optimism and a taste for meaning. Late degrees are seasoned: this is fire that has had a few battles and learned which ones are worth it.
Generosity runs big and cheerful. They invite the new colleague to the party, hand out spare tickets and give advice whether asked or not. Jupiter likes abundance, so a present from them may be oversized and slightly impractical. They help most readily when they can see the result, such as fixing a bike, driving someone to the airport or making an introduction that changes a job.
In love they pursue openly and enjoy the chase. A first date might be a spontaneous drive to the coast in place of a quiet coffee. They want a partner who laughs easily and has opinions of their own. Boredom threatens their romances more than conflict does. The lesson is learning to enjoy ordinary evenings together, since lasting closeness is mostly built on those, between the adventures.

Compatible signs for an Aries
Sun-sign compatibility starts from the element. Aries gets on most easily with its own element and with the two sextile signs, and feels the strongest pull from its opposite.
