- Sign of the Ram: Aries natives are head-strong and natural leaders, though their competitive nature can sometimes get them into trouble.

Traits of the Sun in Aries
In Western Astrology, a person's sign is determined by the position of the Sun. As an Aries born on April 6th, you exhibit the following general traits:
- Respected in Your Field: Aries, ruled by Mars, is a sign of leadership and innovation. You are a natural leader among your friends and at work.
- Ambitious: You crave meaningful experiences and challenges, refusing to settle for a simple, predictable life. Overcoming obstacles is your forte.

On the other hand, career paths that require high levels of tact, patience, or self-control may not be the best fit for Aries individuals. These include diplomats, childcare professionals, stock brokers, or mediators.
