Aries Colours, Patterns, and Designs
Colour, pattern, and design can be important, particularly when choosing gifts such as clothing and bedding. Aries usually prefers bold, bright colours that have assertive undertones. Black is a power colour and red is the colour of life, energy, excitement, risk, danger, and passion, which suits the Aries personality. Aries people usually prefer large, bold blocks of monochromatic colour, though they may also be drawn to geometric patterns.
Aries Gemstones
Gemstones associated with the sign of the ram are aquamarine (March) and diamond (April).
Aries Trees, Plants, Flowers, and Foods

Aries plants and edibles tend to be strongly flavoured or prickly (such as the thistle). Herbs and spices associated with Aries and its ruling planet Mars include mustard, ginger, basil, rosemary, chilies, garlic, radish, and coriander. Aries foods include blackberries, onions, hazelnuts, flax, and maple syrup.
The Atypical Aries
Not all Aries people will conform to the typical Aries profile. An Aries whose rising sign is in Virgo, for example, will be very different from one who has Sagittarius rising. An Aries with Virgo rising will likely be more cautious and practical, whereas with Sagittarius rising, risk-taking behaviours will be even more excessive. Also, an Aries with Taurus, Cancer, or Leo rising is more likely to be interested in arts and crafts or building things, whereas with Libra rising, the Aries may be drawn to aesthetic, noncompetitive physical pursuits such as dance and yoga.
