\"On<\/a>Hmmmmm, interesting. I just read Maria DeSimone’s new blog about how every zodiac sign has a lesson to learn, and she talked a great deal about how selfish Aries is.<\/p>\n

That sounds bad, right? Except the way she put it, well, it’s not.<\/p>\n

Sure, Aries is fiery and blustery, and they tend to charge ahead with their own wants and needs leading the way, which is indeed a bit selfish. Or at least I always kinda thought so. I don’t have a ton of Aries friends because they often trample right on over my quiet, sensitive nature.<\/p>\n

But guess what? It turns out that being selfish is a necessary part of personal growth for Aries. Maria explains that they are selfish because they’re learning to be self-directed and independent. They are, in fact, supposed<\/em> to be selfish.<\/p>\n

Or maybe Maria’s just saying that to defend herself because she has so much Aries energy. Ha! Just kidding, Maria. I get where you’re coming from.<\/p>\n

I’m trying to talk Maria into writing another article about the important life lessons for every sign, and I’ll let you know when that’s done. I’m dying to know what my Gemini lesson is — somehow I think it has something to do with mind control, lol. In the meantime, see what Maria says about Aries.<\/p>\n

Do YOU know any Aries who seem selfish? Maybe you should read this and cut ’em some slack.<\/p>\n
