i've always called it the "aries flare". i've got tons of aries friends and we all call it aries flare... i think it just sums up the bluntness or blunt force of our reactions to just about anything. is the ice different? i see how it could be...

what do you mean by this exactly. I am a little confused.

What is Aries Ice? Is it when you get all cold and aloof on people and it's like they never existed? Like and indifferene ind of feeling?

Uhm, about aries ice... It's a bit hard to explain, but it's mostly this: an Arien's fire is so dampened by rejection or neglect, etc. (i.e., too much jealousy) that he/she "freezes", or detaches from something.

here's an example:
Carol is an Aries, and is married to Amyas, a womanizing Sagittarius. The first few years of their marriage is filled with violent confrontations from her regarding his affairs, demanding things in the usual aries jealousy (like "Oh, you bastard you, don't you expect to see me again tomorrow! I'll leave you with all your bitches and may you burn in hell!). That's aries fire. But he doesn't listen or take her seriously, and Carol one day "shuts off," or freezes. Amyas is surprised to find that Carol no longer shows any sign of defiance whenever he partakes in an affair, and merely shrugs it off. That's aries ice.

Astrology legend Linda Goodman once said that aries ice was much more shocking than aries fire, because aries ice meant that the arien no longer cared. She said the perfect barometer for an Aries' feelings (specifically of the girl Aries'), is her jealousy. The more it burns, the more she cares.

Aries ice is a very sad phenomenon, because when an Aries decides to pack up his/her bags and go over to the next challenge (i.e., leave a difficult lover), he/she almost never looks back.

I use it ALL the time :D (newbie to tribe btw). I use it on people I'm too lazy to get passionately angry with, they just never expect me to see through all that games and usually have no initial understanding of why I cut them out of it. Ariens are smarter than we look, no point investing time and emotions on superficial people and silly games. Golly, and Fire/ Airs are supposedly more "superficial" than the rest. Passionate anger, I reserve for people who are worth my time/ explanation -- channel the passion into lengthy arguments or debates, usually we're both better off after it -- new perspectives and no hard feelings.

So about what is the average time it takes for you rams to become frosty
