We’re fast approaching the special astrological season of the year. That’s right, you guessed it, Aries season. From March 21 to April 20, those born under the fiery and competitive sign will be in their element, including some of your celebrity crushes. What’s more satisfying than knowing that your favorites share the same zodiac sign as you, making them a more connected part of your life?
While some people consider Aries stubborn and impulsive, others love them for their brazen attitude and fearlessness. They don’t like feeling held back and don’t need permission to do what they want, which makes them natural leaders.
Interestingly, their traits are tied to the orderly placement of their zodiac. In astrology, Aries is a cardinal sign that sits first in the zodiac. While it’s common knowledge that each new year begins on January 1, astrologically speaking, the new year kicks off on March 21.
So, as we count down the final days until Aries season, let’s take a look at some of the most well-known and loved Aries celebrities.
Robert Downey Jr.
Yes, our beloved Tony Stark is an Aries. The award-winning actor was born on April 4, 1965 in New York City. He embodies a fine blend of an impulsive Aries sun, Venus, Mercury, and a luxury-loving Taurus moon, which adds a nice touch to the roles he plays. From the Iron Man franchise to the Charlie Chaplin biopic and Sherlock Holmes for which he won a BAFTA award and received a Golden Globe nomination, it’s hard not to love Robert Downey Jr.
Reese Witherspoon
If you thought the 47-year-old “Legally Blonde” actress is truly a Gemini vegetarian as portrayed by her character in the movie, we’ve got a “nope” buzzer for you. Reese is a fire sign Aries, born on March 22 in New Orleans, Louisiana, and raised in Nashville, Tennessee. Her passion and leadership traits don’t just reflect in her career, having clutched the Oscars, a Primetime Emmy award, and two Golden Globe awards, but also extend to her husband, Jim Toth, and three beautiful children—Ava, Deacon, and Tennessee.
Paul Stephen Rudd
We couldn’t be prouder to have one of People’s “Sexiest Men Alive” on our team of Aries. Paul Rudd, born April 6, 1969 in Passaic, New Jersey, is an award-winning comedian and actor. His rise to fame stems from his notable roles in “Clueless,” “Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers,” and “I Love You, Man.” His exceptional creativity makes him one of the very few versatile comedy and drama actors, which isn’t surprising as Aries are very imaginative.
Anu Joseph Emmanuel
Anu J Emmanuel is a passionate, emotional, and driven Aries. Born on March 28, 1997 in Garland Texas, her quest for an international career has seen her take on a plethora of projects in the U.S. and overseas. As indicated in her horoscope, Anu Emmanuel’s success stems from a desire to constantly listen to her heart, maintain a positive outlook about possible achievements, and face obstacles head-on without hesitation. More information about her is available on Nuwber.
Elton John
Regarded as one of the most iconic musicians of the 20th century, Elton John needs no introduction. Born Reginald Kenneth Dwight on March 25, 1947 in Pinner, London, this British singer, pianist, and composer has left an indelible mark on pop music. His recent achievement of winning an Emmy award and joining the elite group of EGOTs reflects his unwavering dedication and talent. Beyond his musical prowess, he’s known for his bold personality and commitment to social, political, and humanitarian causes, demonstrating strong leadership qualities throughout his career.
Halle Bailey
Born March 27, 2000 in Atlanta, Georgia, 23-year-old Halle Bailey has an impressive career trajectory. From starring in the “Grown-ish” television series to playing the titular role of Ariel in the live-action film “The Little Mermaid” alongside Melissa McCarthy and Javier Bardem, Halle Bailey is an unarguable rising star in the entertainment industry. The singer, songwriter, and actress is also a Gemini ascendant who’s found a balance between her career and her love life with her boyfriend, Darryl Dwayne Granberry Jr., known professionally as DDG, as well as her newfound role as a mom.
Lady Gaga
It’s only natural that a talented woman who’s always been a little bit “odd” or “weird” would be an Aries. The Academy and Golden Globe award-winning singer, songwriter, and actress—Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta (Lady Gaga)—was born on March 28, 1986 in New York City. A typical Aries, she’s known for her versatility and creativity, showcased in her successful music career and her ability to easily switch between different genres and styles.
But, of course, she’s at her best when she channels the Aries trait of “being the loudest one in the room,” and her strong, courageous, and fearless nature is displayed in her stage performances.
Russell Crowe
Having starred in movies like “Gladiator,” “Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World,” “A Beautiful Mind,” and “The Next Three Days,” it’s not surprising that Australian actor Russell Crowe has amassed a huge list of awards. The 59-year-old actor, born April 7, 1964 in Wellington, New Zealand, is a virile Aries whose heroic roles make him an irresistible icon.
Emma Watson
From growing up as Hermione Granger in the iconic Harry Potter franchise to being the face of Burberry in 2009, British actress and activist Emma Charlotte Duerre Watson is a global icon. Born April 15, 1990 in Paris, France, Emma Watson is a bonafide fireball who’s always open to new experiences and challenges. Her ability to transition from playing an intelligent character like Hermione to a fiery and unruly character like Meg in the movie “The Bling Ring” demonstrates her impressive acting skills.
Eddie Murphy
No list of Aries celebrities would be complete without the mention of one of the funniest actors of his time. Edward Regan “Eddie” Murphy was born on April 3, 1961 in Brooklyn, New York, and grew up in a household that loved comedy. He’s an Aries sun and a proud Scorpio moon. As the New York Daily News puts it, “He has a power source of get-up-and-go that not many can keep up with.” This trait is evident from his stand-up comedy acts to his award-winning movies “The Nutty Professor” and “Coming to America,” just to name a few.
Conclusion
People born under the Aries sign have some standout traits. Often misunderstood, they’re seen as overconfident and stubborn, which can be mistaken for rudeness. However, you can’t deny the fact that they’re actually enthusiastic, courageous, and fiercely protective.
In pop culture, Aries celebrities’ fiery passion, energy, drive, and creativity have birthed many iconic figures whose successes prove that there’s more than one path to greatness.
