In the family they always occupy the leading position. They prefer to organise every member of the household, to divide the domestic duties among them and to say who should do what. The role of head and leader in the family interests them far more than a subordinate position. Members of the family often have to adjust to their mood. If all is well at work they come home in high spirits and can create a merry atmosphere in the family, give attention to everyone and even indulge them with small presents. But if they have problems and something is not going well professionally, conflicts and rows can break out at home. Their aggression and lack of balance can go beyond all bounds. At such moments Aries may even forget that they have a family and, to relieve the tension after work, go off somewhere with friends, only to turn up late in the evening as if nothing had happened, with no explanations and no apologies. As for the family budget, Aries do not like putting money aside for a rainy day and prefer to spend it at once on the family's needs. Aries can lend large sums to friends and acquaintances for a long time without worrying much about whether the money will come back. This gives rise to conflicts within the family. At home they like moving furniture from one room to another, redecorating and repainting the bathroom walls another colour. In that respect the country house opens up a broad field of activity for them. In food they are undemanding and prefer to cook the simplest and most accessible dishes for the family. But when Aries receive guests they try to show off their culinary talents and do not stint on the hospitality. As for the wardrobe, Aries are not exacting: they would rather spend money on a family trip abroad or on entertainment than on an expensive suit or jewellery. If some problem is being decided in the family, the decision always rests with them, and no one tries to argue or to prove them wrong. With their children Aries are always friendly and try to bring them up to be self-reliant and independent.
