ARIES ~ March 21 to April 20

The symbol of Aries is the Ram. MARS is the ruling planet, large, commanding in it’s bold leader, warrior characteristics. Aries glyph is in the left hand corner, representing the horn of the Ram. The red spectrum of colors are the fiery, flammable colors of Aries. Aries means Ram in Latin. The Ram is a bold stalwart animal, determined but stubborn at times.

Red is Aries' color and its’ brash and brilliant spectrum captures much of the sign's fiery nature. Aries blazes in at the Spring equinox - the birth of the new season and the Zodiac. The SUN sign Arians are born on or about March 21 to April 20.

Aries is one of 3 Fire signs (along with Leo and Sagittarius) and is ruled by the energetic and commanding "Red Planet" MARS. Aries energy is masculine: very direct and outward focused. Aries is a cardinal sign (along with Libra and Cancer) and functions by initiating or instigating. As action people, they love to get things going or started, the dawning of a new day can be pure joy to them. Aries are the pioneers of the Zodiac.

Aries' motto is "I am". Aries is a self centered sign. It is the first sign of the zodiac, in the first house and it is about identity, "me". "What do I want", "what is best for me", "what will work for me" is Aries initial come from. They tend to want to shove themselves to the forefront, sometimes appearing selfish.Their polar opposite, in the astrological chart, is Libra, the sign of the other or the partner. Every sign learns from its' polar opposite in life and is drawn to that sign to learn its' lessons. Aries must learn to consider others besides themselves and learn to listen, in order to become a successful friend, partner and team player.

From MARS, Aries ruler, the Roman mythological "God of War" (or Ares the Greek "God of War"), Aries brings the warrior archetype. Brave, courageous and ready for action. Aries are very strong willed quick, even hasty decision makers. Commander and leader feels natural to them. However, this innate power and raw energy can feel intimidating and pushy to some. In order for goals and leadership to be realized, Aries need to slow down, take time for planning and discernment, polish communication skills and temper their energy. Their proactive assertion is valued, but it must be honed to a palatable level. Certainly Aries passion and motivation is contagious. However, lack of discipline, commitment and long term follow-up is not their strong suit and will take some effort.

Aries can be impulsive and harsh. Their fiery temperament can progress to anger and volatility when out of control. This behavior can lead to recklessness and injury. Impulsivity could lead to overspending. Balance, again a Libra trait, is one from which Aries would benefit in those circumstances. In addition, a regular regimen of relaxation or meditation will offset their vigorous energy and would be a health bonus.

Aries is industrious, generous, loyal, practical, exciting and adventurous. Competitive and even boastful, Aries love playing games. They often are gifted with charm and charisma. They will not leave anyone bored, surely, not themselves. But, their penchant for impulsive enthusiasm and challenge can push them over the edge.

Aries are very active and exert energy, strength and stamina. Their susceptibilities are to disorders of the head, stomach and kidneys from poor eating, work stress, health practices and injuries from intense activity or competitive activities and sports.
