Phase
March 21 - April 20
Sign: Aries
Name: Ram
Ruler: Mars
Symbol - Ram
Aries is symbolized by the ram, which
can be described as resembling the face and horns of a goat or ram,
or the eyebrows and nose of the face, which are said to be prominent
in Aries people. Alternatively, this symbol is similar to that of
a plant shoot when it first emerges from the ground in the spring.
Aries live life heads first; after
all, those horns on head are not just for fighting. their headstrong
nature can make them a ‘battering ram’ and woe is the
person who stands in their way.
The ram's head consists of the stars
alpha Arietis, lambda Arietis, and beta Arietis: The ram's body consists
of the stars alpha Arietis, eta Arietis, epsilon Arietis. The
ram's tail consists of the stars 35 Arietis, 41 Arietis, and 39 Arietis.
Comparison with its symbol
The ram symbolizes Aries. The ram
has come to represent male fertility, aggression, and courage. A ram's
horn is part of a cornucopia, the "horn of plenty", symbolizing
abundance. In history, rams were often symbols of leadership. Aries
natives are said to be leaders and pioneers.
Rams butt their heads into their
enemies; and Aries natives are thought to approach life "head-on".
The glyph for Aries is a straightforward
one - it depicts the ram's horn.
Color
Aries is the first sign of the Zodiac
and this tends to make people born under this sign natural leaders.
Look for lots of Red in the Arien home, which personify their active,
energetic and often competitive lifestyle. Ariens like high ceilings,
open spaces, so loft living is ideal. Simple furniture would sit on
attractive wood flooring and light would stream in through an abundance
of large, clear windows. An exercise room can often be found in the
Arien household.
Aries
Aries is an astrological sign, largely
associated with the constellation Aries. Under the tropical zodiac,
Aries is occupied by the Sun from about March 21 to April 20 (depending
on the exact year) and is associated with the Spring Equinox. Under
the sidereal zodiac, it is currently from April 21 to May 13. The
opposite sign to Aries is Libra.
The Ram, initiating, bold and impatient;
symbolizes Aries. Their fiery nature making them irresistible and
exciting. While they can be impulsive and combative, they're the absolute
leader of the pack – in team sports, business or just your group
of friends and family!
Sun in Aries people are natural athletes.
At the very least, their natural inclination is to use their bodies
to get things done. They're not given to long, drawn-out emotional
moments; nor are they big on planning ahead. Instead, they live their
lives simply. What is happening right now is most important to Aries.
Some Aries people are bold, but even the quieter ones are brave and
even plucky in their own way. Independence is their birthright. Nothing
gets them going more than a fresh slate, the promise of a new day,
and a brand new start.
Since there is an inherent desire
to rule and command, Aries natives are noble, charming and attractive.
They are also sympathetic, tender and warm-hearted, as well as being
magnetic and progressive. Fond of music and dancing, those governed
by Aries love harmony, order and beauty in all things. Their tastes
are likely to be luxurious and they will be at their best in the midst
of elegant surroundings and, if leaders, also in social functions.
Aries people are often considered to be wealthier than they actually
are...possibly because they dress well and tend to possess a commanding
appearance. A vast majority of them will be deeply interested in the
occult and metaphysical studies.
Key Planet - Mars
The key planet of Aries is Mars.
Mars is called the "Angry Red Planet." In Greek mythology,
Mars was the God of War. But Mars isn't only about fighting; it's
about going somewhere, going anywhere. Mars is like the gas pedal
of our bodies. It's represents how they move forward in life. In any
chart, Mars offers clues as to how they express their basic energy.
Element - Fire
Fire signs are naturally warm. A
fire gives light and heat, but it doesn't get depleted as others feed
on its warmth. One candle can bring light to a room and it won't burn
any faster if ten people read from its light than if there was only
one. Fire doesn't plan it next move; it isn't logical. It simply is
in the moment and will burn what fuel is available without judgment
or forethought. For this reason fire signs can successfully rely on
their intuition and survival instincts.
The fire of Aries is spontaneous
and hot. It's like a pile of dry kindling that burns fast but cannot
sustain itself for the long haul.
First House - Self
The First House symbolizes their
physical body and personality - appearance to the outer world. It's
not necessarily who they are; it's what they bring to a situation
and how others see them. It represents their childhood, the beginning
of any activity or even the start of a new relationship. It's not,
however, about the other person; it's about how others see them. No
doubt, everything starts with the First House.
Aries Greatest Strength: their courage
to overcome fear.
Aries Possible Weakness: Not finishing
things they start.
Origin
The ancients needed a marker of some
sort to indicate the beginning of spring. The only stars occupying
that particular place on the Zodiac at that time were those dim ones
as now recognize as Aries. Around 1800 B.C. the position occupied
by Aries on the Zodiac band was an important one, and will be again
in the distant future. It marked the beginning of spring and was known
as the First Point of Aries.
The Chinese knew Aries as a dog, Kiang Leu. Later they knew
it as Pih Yang, or "the White Sheep”.
Throughout the ancient Mediterranean
region, the ram figure was associated with the constellation Aries
or Arietis.
Ares was the Greek god of war and
pestilence. He was the son of Zeus and Hera, consort of Aphrodite.
The Romans associated Ares with Mars, the enemy of the tyrants and
defender of the just. Originally an agricultural god associated with
the affairs of spring, Mars assimilated many of the characteristics
of Ares since battles were often coordinated at this same time of
year.
Its origin is Egyptian and derives
from their practice of sacrificing the sacred ram to the Sun at the
spring equinox, to ensure his return and secure a successful year
ahead. Christian customs still reflect this New Year worship, for
Easter - the rising of the Lord - is always held in the week after
the full Moon that follows the Sun's entry into this sign; and eggs
are given as a symbol of new life and new opportunities.
The signs of the Zodiac begin with
Aries, perhaps because in Greek astrology, Aries was represented by
the war goddess Pallas Athene, who was not born but sprang from the
head of Zeus as a fully formed adult. Consequently, Aries is closely
associated with both the head and war.
In other ancient cultures, the symbol
for Aries was a rooster, indicating both aggressiveness and braggadocio;
but eventually it came to be represented by a ram, indicating aggressiveness
and stubbornness.
Aries' planetary ruler is Mars (the
god of war in Roman mythology; in Greek mythology, his name is Ares).
Its influence can be found in their absolute fearlessness, even ferocity,
their preference for red, and lucky day of the week -- Tuesday (in
French: mardi, named after Mars). Mars also represents energy, ambition,
and action, as well as some negative traits such as audacity and thoughtlessness.
Characteristics of sign and
planets
Signs: Aries governs - head of kalapurusha
(zodical man or time personified). Lands frequented by sheep and goats,
jungles, caves, mountains, forests, cattle sheds, mines and places
worked up by internal fires.
Sun in Aries
Mar 21 - Apr 20: In this sign the
Sun is exalted, which means that the cosmic soul contemplates issues
like individuality and leadership issues on behalf of the native more
clearly. Because the Sun is choleric in temperament and Aries is one
of the signs that initiate, there is little restraint in these individuals.
They are aggressive and direct in expressing themselves. The creative
energy and enthusiasm these individuals possess is a result of the
Sun in this sign. In general they are highly competitive, seeking
superiority, recognition, fame, and authority. Usually the Sun here,
especially by day, indicates a desire to define oneself in a unique
and forceful way.
In a diurnal chart this indicates
leadership ability and a commanding presence and a fearsome countenance,
especially if the Sun should be in the 9th or 10th houses. There is
the potential for arrogance and excessive pride in oneself because
the Sun, as principle of self-awareness, makes one conscious in ones
abilities, which by being here are considerable. Aries by itself acts
in order to become acquainted with itself, not really being self assured,
yet. It is impulsive in nature, because it is a cardinal sign. These
individuals like to initiate the start of projects but have a tendency
to lack follow through.
In a nocturnal chart there is a higher
degree of introversion or introspection because the Sun focuses the
energy below the horizon, which is invisible to the outer world. They
are more thoughtful and considerate than their diurnal counterparts
and have a greater appreciation for strategy in manipulating an outcome.
They generally are more diplomatic in dealing with others. They are
more adept at understanding hidden motivations especially if the Sun
has just set in the chart.
As the Sun moves into Aries, its
daily path crosses the equator and begins to move into the northern
hemisphere. For most inhabited regions of the world this is the beginning
of spring; the days become longer than the nights, and plants and
animals burst into activity.
Aries enjoys a challenge, and Aries
Suns are happiest when their lives are moving forward and active.
Impatience is a definite vice, and innovation is a huge strength.
Aries loves to start anything new, and they have trouble sitting still.
They are pioneers in whatever they do, and there is a very basic quality
of bravery in these people that is unmistakable! Underhanded just
isn't their style. There's a childlike quality to all Aries Sun people,
and it's often quite charming.
Some Famous People with Sun in Aries:
Robert Downey Jr. (Sun, Mercury, and Venus in Aries), Sarah Michelle
Gellar (Sun and Venus in Aries), Ashley Judd (Sun, Mercury, and Venus
in Aries), Lucy Lawless (Sun and Moon in Aries), John Madden (Sun
and Mercury in Aries), William Shatner (Sun and Mercury in Aries),
Gloria Steinem (Sun and Mars in Aries), Vincent Van Gogh (Sun and
Mercury in Aries), Christopher Walken (Sun and Mercury in Aries).
Moon in Aries
This is a fiery position of the moon.
Even if the Sun or rising sign is more low-key, Moon in Aries people
possesses inner passion and fire. Emotional issues take precedence
- there is simply no pussyfooting around when it comes to dealing
with the feelings. And, dealing with new sentiments and needs stirs
up a huge desire for activity. Moon in Aries has a need for acting
out their needs, with no time to waste. It is hard for them to see
the long-term, or to wait for things to happen. Instant gratification
rules
The Moon is peregrine here. Aries
tends toward initiation and the Moon is the opposite, lethargic by
comparison, cold and wet. They often feel that their mother is independent
and competitive and she may be the dominant parent. In extreme cases
the mother may abandon the child. Because the Moon represents the
physical body and Aries is about survival, these natives often have
a strong survival instinct. Their consideration is first for them
self, therefore in childhood these natives have the most difficulty
empathizing and identifying the needs of others and if these tendencies
are not unlearned, they can become selfish adults, albeit great survivors.
In a diurnal chart, the feelings
are more volatile, and their personal life and relationships with
women tend to be more troubled and hectic. The Moon seeks to put down
emotional roots and belong according to its cool and inactive nature,
but the day burns off excess moisture, which might help create a bond.
For this reason they tend to be more emotionally detached than their
nocturnal counterparts. Those born with this position will tend to
be on the move more than average and find it hard to sit still and
be patient. The extreme is hyperactivity disorder. The excess movement
(physically or otherwise) can create feelings, or be a result of,
insecurity. Occasionally, their volatile temper may cause them to
react rashly to situations on a gut level without thinking things
through before acting.
In a nocturnal chart, the moisture
and cold is more easily held and concentrated in this sign of initiatives.
This translates into an intense personal drive with a fair amount
of control over its direction and usefulness, especially if the Moon
is above the horizon. There is less rashness and more consideration
for others, and often they perceive the mood of others very swiftly.
While the feelings of insecurity are still there, the native reacts
by fortifying vulnerabilities. This can create an individual who is
quite formidable in any contest.
Nothing quite happens soon enough
with this position of the Moon. There is an inherent impatience with
getting what they want. Life is a series of emergencies for Lunar
Ariens. They live in the moment and have a hard time waiting for things
to happen. Whims of the moment take absolute precedence in their lives.
Oddly enough, this is a very defensive
position of the Moon. These natives take things very personally, and
they deal with problems by facing them right away so that they can
then get on with other things. Their flare-ups generally end almost
as quickly as they started.
Lunar Ariens have an unmistakable
independent streak. They put themselves right out there in the world,
and make an impression in whatever they do. Their self-confidence
is actually variable. Although a strong personality is projected,
Moon in Aries people go through plenty of ups and downs. Their moodiness
is not like Cancer or Pisces moodiness -- they don't withdraw into
themselves or escape the world when they're down. Instead, they are
temperamental.
Some might say that people with Moon
in Aries actually enjoy trouble and confrontations. Indeed, this position
is easily bored with environments that are too peaceful. Their homes
-- especially their childhood homes -- are often battlegrounds. They
rule the roost, or at least want to, and are not the most peaceful
of folk to live with!
Men and women are prone to have plenty
of crushes and other short-lived yet intense desires. "Needs"
and "wants" are indistinguishable to Lunar Ariens at any
given time. In their minds, what they want is so powerful that it
becomes an absolute need.
Others will appreciate that people
with Moon in Aries rarely sulk or play any drawn-out games of manipulation.
You can pretty much know what they want at any given time. They are
generally ruled by their own emotional needs, and they're not always
as concerned about others' needs during these "emergencies".
Somehow, they have people around them scrambling to help them solve
their problems. There's an aura of childlike innocence around Lunar
Ariens, even when they're getting their way again, that can be charming
indeed!
Some Famous people with Moon in Aries:
Dido Armstrong, Tyra Banks (Moon and Mars in Aries), Sarah Ferguson,
Whitney Houston, Lucy Lawless (Sun and Moon in Aries), Heather Locklear,
Jennifer Lopez, Meg Ryan, Kevin Spacey.
Stars
Ptolemy recorded the stars in the
tail of Aries as like Venus, those in the hind foot like Mars, those
in the mouth like Mercury (with a moderate degree of Saturn) and those
in the head like Mars and Saturn.
The brightest are in the head and
the main star, Hamal (meaning 'Head of the Sheep') marks the forehead.
This is a 2nd magnitude star, yellow in color, which was worshipped
by the Greeks at the festival of Jupiter Ammon, where they celebrated
the return of the Sun to Aries with the slaughter of rams. Its influence
is generally unfortunate and it is associated with violence, danger,
and head injuries..
The brightest star in Aries is Hamal,
from the Arabic Al Ras al Hamal, meaning "the Head of the Sheep”.
The ancient Greeks from about 1580 B.C. to 360 B.C. oriented the construction
of many of their sacred temples in relationship to Hamal.
The second star of importance, Sharatan,
is situated on the left horn. This is a pearly white star, of 3rd
magnitude, which is often considered in partnership with its 5th magnitude
companion a little lower down the horn - Mesarthim - the two being
known to the Persians as 'the Protecting Pair', or 'the Butters'Its
name derives from Al Sharatain 'the Two Signals'. As suggested by
the image of a ram's horn and its Mars/Saturn nature, its influence
is a violent one.
Ptolemy claimed that the stars in
the forward and hinder parts of Aries may denote abnormal sexual behaviour
when Venus is with them, afflicted by Saturn and the Moon.This would
include Hamal, Sharatan, Mesartim and a 4th star of astrological note:
Botein, which lies on the flank of the hind leg near the tail. There
is some confusion regarding its inclusion in Ptolemy's listing because
the name Botein derives from an Arabic term Butain, meaning 'belly',
although on most star maps it marks the tail of the reclining Ram.
Mercury in Aries
Mercury takes on an active temperament
in this sign, creating individuals who are often impulsive when making
decisions. Inspirational ideas and sudden insights are common effects
for those born with Mercury here. Because of the excessive dryness
of its ruler, Mercury does not mold easily to differing points of
view. As a result they can be quite fond of debates and arguments.
These natives can be very talkative.
Mercury in Aries communicators enable
to make quick decisions - so quick that you might think they don't
much like thinking things over. Aries communicators don't have a lot
of patience for mulling. Their decisions are often driven by the need
for instant gratification.
Mercury in Aries men and women are
generally quick to the point in their communications. They are direct
and candid, and some may even think their style is crude at times.
At times, they can come across as downright aggressive, but that usually
happens when they encounter opposition to their opinions and ideas.
It is generally a result of frustration, because Mercury in Aries
almost childishly assumes that others will accept their opinions smoothly.
There is a sensitivity and defensiveness to Aries, and when Mercury
is placed in the sign, natives tend to be quite personally attached
to their ideas. There's a certain innocent charm to Aries communicators.
Ariens have a tendency towards streamlined
learning. They prefer not to get bogged down in details, and are adept
at dismissing what they feel are irrelevant details.
This Mercury position favors starting
new things. Aries is not attached to outdated ideas, and generally
adopts an enthusiastic style. Criticism or negative feedback can be
taken personally. Still, they are not afraid of a fight or a challenge,
on a mental level. They have a visionary intelligence that is sometimes
on the idealistic side.
In a diurnal chart, there is increased
tendency towards argument and foul language, and encounters with others,
which can turn nasty very quickly because the heat of the day exasperates
the already imbalanced elemental temperament. This is especially true
if Mars should witness this place from square or opposition, with
Mercury in the daytime. The native is likely to have trouble controlling
their temper unless either Venus or Jupiter witnesses this place.
Frequently the native acts first and thinks about the consequences
later. They may have trouble keeping secrets.
In a nocturnal chart, the native
finds it easier to be in control of their speech and often has a quieter
disposition than their diurnal counterparts. This is a very good position
for military commanders who plan attacks, or those who work in intelligence
and national security. The cool and moistness of the night helps to
balance the dryness of Mercury in this sign. As a result, they are
much better at planning and devising strategies for problem solving.
However, if Saturn is in one of the cardinal zodiac (squaring, opposing
in this place) they may suffer from speech impediments or difficulties
in communication or be mute.
New projects and ideas are taken
on with an unmatched enthusiasm with this position of Mercury. However,
because there is no shortage of new ideas in life, Mercury in Aries
natives can be quick to dump one mental pursuit, way of thinking,
or opinion for something fresher and more exciting.
If the Sun Sign is in Pisces or Taurus,
these people can sometimes wonder why others get frustrated with them.
The truth is, they may come across as more abrupt and impatient than
they actually are. Mercury in Aries natives makes quick decisions,
and they don't always understand it when others hedge issues or stay
"on the fence".
Some Famous People with Mercury in
Aries: Mariah Carey (Sun, Mercury, and Venus in Aries), Robert Downey
Jr. (Sun, Mercury, and Venus in Aries), Adolf Hitler, Ashley Judd,
(Sun, Mercury, and Venus in Aries).
Venus in Aries
Ordinarily Venus is inclined to passive
social interaction, but the initiatory nature of this sign creates
a stir. As a result, these natives are not as content to wait for
pleasure but seek it actively, creating individuals with outgoing
natures. They have little reticence in pursuing the object of their
affections. Consequently, women born with this are more likely to
ask men out for a date. Men with this position tend to become playboys,
and enjoy showing off what they own.
Venus in Aries people flirt by being
up-front, direct, and even daring. They try to win you over by expressing
how enterprising and independent they are. Their style of expressing
love can be maddeningly "myself"-centered, but the right
person for them will find this approach charming. People get turned
on by Venus in Aries' aura of innocent charm, even when they are being
childish and impatient.
Venus in Aries men and women behave
in a childlike, fun-loving manner in love. Venus in Aries people are
hopelessly addicted to the conquest. In order for a relationship to
remain fresh and new for them, they require plenty of stimulation.
In a diurnal chart, especially if
Venus should be oriental (rising before the Sun on the morning of
birth) these natives can be very self-centered in the pursuit of pleasure
and can have coarse manners. This is especially true if Mars should
be square or oppose or be cop resent. They may be subject to scandalous
liaisons and social embarrassment, though they may not care.
At night, particularly if Venus is
occidental, there is more consideration for the feelings of others
and a great enough reticence to keep out of social scandal, unless
there is some affliction coming from one of the malefics. These individuals
form close, passionate and personal relationships that tend to last
longer than their diurnal counterparts. There is a greater emphasis
on commitment and stability.
Pleasing Venus in Aries involves
fueling their need for action. Be direct, open, and honest with them
- they won't much like game playing or evasiveness, unless it is in
the complete spirit of fun. Feed their need for spontaneity, and appreciate
their playfulness. Understand their desire for the relationship to
remain young and fresh. Aries likes to take the lead in love (even
if their Sun Sign is gentle Pisces) - let them, at least most of the
time. Indulge them their many whims, and understand that they thrive
on competition, even when they're competing with you!
Some Famous People with Venus in
Aries: Jennifer Aniston, Mariah Carey (Sun, Mercury, and Venus in
Aries), George Clooney, Matt Dillon, Robert Downey Jr. (Sun, Mercury,
and Venus in Aries), Melissa Etheridge, Sarah Michelle Gellar (Sun
and Venus in Aries), Ashley Judd (Sun, Mercury, and Venus in Aries).
Mars in Aries
This is a very impulsive position
of Mars. The first instinct for Mars in Aries natives is to take action.
Quick flare - ups characterize the Mars in Aries character, but their
anger usually doesn't last for too long. In fact, these people generally
don't live in the past, and are not given to holding grudges or feeling
resentful. Generally, their temper comes quickly, and they deal with
anger on issues right away - with this kind of character, there is
little room for festering.
When Mars in Aries people listen
to their instincts, they generally get things done, and they make
fast and (usually) decent decisions. They don't naturally stop to
smell the roses - or consider others' point of view - when they are
deliberating over what to do next. In fact, "deliberation"
works at lightning speed for these natives, so they could hardly be
called deliberate. Spontaneity is one of their assets; as are simplicity,
purity of action, and innovation.
Mars in Aries natives are often a
step ahead of the rest of us. A life that is too predictable makes
them antsy. They enjoy challenges. Relationships with these natives
can be exciting, but keeping up with them can be difficult. They are
given to impulsive action, and they are not known for sticking things
through. Although their physical energy is great, they can lose their
initial enthusiasm quickly.
Mars in Aries natives are easily
irritated by indirectness from others. They expect others to say things
straight They easily become impatient with convoluted plans, or with
people they consider to be slow to action. Most people with this position
of Mars have a childlike quality to them. Sometimes they're downright
rude and impatient, but with Mars in Aries natives, they generally
know what they're after. Unless Mars is afflicted in the chart, it
can also pretty much trust that they don't have hidden agendas.
For those born between 21 and 30
March, the planet Mars will be doubly strong and ruling destiny. The
increased Mars energy indicates abundant energy and physical stamina
and are well advised to involve with activities that adequately release
that pent-up frustration or anger resulting from this twofold Martian
vibration.
If born between 31 March and 10 April,
the Solar vibrations blend with Mars to make proud and extremely loyal
type of Arian.
This is the diurnal house of Mars.
In the Hellenistic period, Mars was considered exceedingly dry. Heat
wasn't added as a quality to Mars until the medieval era when Arab
astrologers tried to make the qualities symmetrical in number with
the planets. The definition of dryness according to Aristotle was
that which does not conform easily to a set of boundaries (unlike
water, which conforms easily to the shape of its container). For this
reason those born with Mars here are said to be very individualistic
and tend to stand out from the crowd; and dryness, which separates,
leads to independence. They are also said to be impulsive, irascible
and have considerable courage and initiative. According to medieval
sources this is a fiery sign; heat is added to dryness, and heat is
said to purify or rarify what it contacts. This purity of action generates
the quality of directness, forthrightness and a sense of nobility.
In a diurnal chart, the heat becomes
excessive and may create tyrants who will not tolerate opposition
or interference and are very impatient. They will also tend to have
more difficulty in settling their energy down to a sustainable pace
long enough to see a project through to its end. With this much energy,
it is a good idea to be involved in physical activity, such as sports
and contests so the more malefic manifestations of courage do not
take the form of injuries or fevers, or in danger to others through
violence. These natives can have violent tempers and their anger is
short lived because it gets aired out in the open more frequently.
Conversely, in a nocturnal chart,
the malefic manifestations of Mars are tempered because of the cool
and moistness of the night. For this reason, if they are angered,
they will tend to hang on to that anger in secret and for a longer
time. While still individualistic and independent and courageous,
they are less likely to take foolish risks and are more likely to
think through the consequences of their actions ahead of time. These
natives may have a quiet bohemian quality that generates magnetism,
mystery and enigma as part of their personality.
Some Famous People with Mars in Aries:
Tyra Banks (Moon and Mars in Aries), Kevin Costner, Russell Crowe
(Sun and Mars in Aries), David Letterman (Sun and Mars in Aries),
Tobey Maguire, Gloria Steinem (Sun and Mars in Aries).
Jupiter in Aries
Jupiter adds heat and moisture where
dryness already exists. For this reason, the quality of dryness is
minimized to some degree. Consequently, these natives are inclined
toward group endeavors and enterprises where the involvement of others
is more critical. This individual often seeks to lead such a group,
and because Jupiter is associated with philosophy, these natives sometimes
have inspiration, which they want to share with the crowds. These
natives often have an attitude of self-importance, enthusiasm, and
self-confidence that inspires others to action.
In a diurnal chart, the excess heat
creates the danger of the natives overreaching themselves and instead
of leading others, leaving them in the dust. Because there is also
moisture added to heat, mist is created. This leads to an inability
to see clearly through the fog of enthusiasm, leading to overconfidence
or carelessness. Fanaticism may result. There is however an increased
faith since the airy quality of Jupiter is supported and is in sect.
If the native can overcome occasional blindness to reality, they may
become great leaders.
At night, Jupiter creates more introspection
and thoughtfulness in the natives. These individuals are less inclined
to take action on faith and are more discerning and less overconfident.
Here the nocturnal moistness is more likely to create leaders who
can bring together coalitions that accomplish some useful purpose,
though usually on a more modest scale than their diurnal counterparts.
While Jupiter is out of sect at night, it is in its own trigon and
therefore is more easily heard by the cosmic soul, which makes Jupiter
a more effective advocate on the native’s behalf.
Saturn in Aries
According to medieval sources like
Bonatti, Saturns coldness contrasts the inherent heat of Aries, like
frosty the snowman in hell. Saturn is also said to be in fall or depression
here, which means that the cosmic soul has difficulty hearing Saturn's
voice. For this reason, whatever Saturn happens to be an advocate
for (it is an advocate for those things of the house it rules, ie,
Capricorn and Aquarius, whichever houses they fall in.) tends to fail
before the court of heaven. Coldness, according to Aristotle, is that
quality which aggregates or collects things of like or different natures
together. This goes against the inherent purity and directness of
fire energy (medieval view). As a result, these natives may be inhibited
in their actions to the extent that they actually acquire patience.
Similarly they may tend to experience slackness in affairs, or difficulty
in getting out of a rut.
In a diurnal chart, the dryness is
amplified, creating a sense of separateness and lack of conformity
in the individual. The cold is minimized by the heat of the Sun, so
there is less tension created in relationships that might have resulted
in the aggregation of people with disharmonious motivations. As a
result, these individuals sometimes lead a rather solitary existence
because they find it so hard to fit in. On the other hand, they find
it easier to move projects along at a reasonable pace. While occasionally
suffering harsh and austere circumstances, they cultivate resourcefulness.
In a nocturnal chart, the coldness
of Saturn is amplified, and the dryness is counteracted by moistness.
This can bring together enemies and friends, and an uncomfortable
tension in the natives life in trying to get the various people or
situations to cooperate with each other harmoniously. As a result,
an impasse is often reached where the native’s life feels like
it is at a standstill. Sometimes the native has little sense of the
boundaries of which one is. Frequently the native suffers from a lack
of self-esteem and self confidence, and they can be very self critical.
Uranus in Aries
Uranus is a near perfect match for
the nature of Aries; both are very dry. Modern astrologers often say
Uranus rules Aquarius, but if the issue is one of affinity then Uranus
is much more suited to take care of the affairs of Aries (I do not
propose this idea in all seriousness; it is just an argument to make
you think). Mars is of a similar nature to Uranus, in fact, the scientific
symbol for Uranus is a cross between the sword and shield of Mars
and the circle and dot of the Sun; all hot and dry symbols. Uranus
is said to cause sudden breaks and behaves as a maverick, unpredictable
in nature. Those born with Uranus here belong to a generation with
heightened instinct for the correct time for action. Many have been
pioneers in the technological fields.
In a diurnal chart, the heat and
dryness agrees well with the Aristotelian idea that dryness separates
and does not conform easily to the shape of its container. This would
seem to bring about an unrestrained individualism and eccentricity
in the character of this generation. The daylight does not easily
allow for surprises though and frequently those born in the day are
seen to be more constant and forthright in their ambitions. This is
because the unpredictable quality is often associated with the realm
of Platos "Other", which is of nocturnal (cool and wet)
nature. This creates those capable of receiving inspiration with the
ability to initiate leadership on a grand scale if Uranus is closely
joined by any of the inner planets.
In a nocturnal chart, the heat and
dryness is directly counteracted by cool and wet, so perhaps Uranus
is more conforming to its role of being unpredictable in the sense
of being less expected and conscious by the native. It may also be
possible that in a nocturnal chart, the effects here are seen to be
more physical than in a diurnal chart. For this reason, this generation
may be more prone to experience unpredictable events or urges as happening
to them rather than their initiating change consciously through the
mind of Nous. Such individuals may experience mishaps as inconveniences
to be overcome, rather than opportunities for change. While malefic
planets like Uranus generally benefit the native when their elemental
nature is counteracted, Rob Hand once said that "some drynesses
should not be moistened".
Neptune in Aries
Neptune is nearly the opposite in
nature to Aries and is exceedingly cold and wet. While Aries tries
to be pure to a cause and rarify its surroundings (medieval view),
the coldness of Neptune aggregates and brings together things of unlike
nature that are often contrary to the directness of this sign. Neptune
seems to put forth the issue of compassion wherever it is located
and in this case it is in the sign of action and leadership. The danger
comes because of the impossibility of satisfying all, creating indecision
and the appearance of weak or inept leadership. This generation may
suffer, as a result, a heightened lack of confidence in its leadership
or develop a cynicism of the future of the cohesiveness of its nationhood.
Civil war is not uncommon.
In a diurnal chart, an individual
from this generation may be able to see through the fog of uncertainty
a bit more clearly, clarifying priorities and setting the needs of
others in proper order in a more conscious manner, or because the
moistness and cold is counteracted by the heat and dryness of the
daytime, there may be a insensitivity to the larger issues of society
and a preoccupation with personal concerns. What they seem to have
in common is the lesson that ones actions cannot help but affect the
whole in some way and that a conscious compromise must be reached.
In a nocturnal chart, the clarity
and decisiveness is doubly counteracted by the cool and moist of Neptune
and the night. The balance here for the individual from this generation
seems to be in favor of consideration for others and making allowances
for exceptions. The manifestations may be more physical than conscious,
meaning that the native is more likely to experience events as happening
to them and not being initiated by them. Neptune in this situation
may represent one who cares for those who are victims of war or violence,
if there is close contact between any of the inner planets and Neptune.
Pluto in Aries
Pluto's elemental nature seems to
be similar to that of Mercury, very changeable and not easy to define.
For this reason it seems to belong to the twilight zone in the same
way that Mercury rejoices when it is near the ascendant. Pluto has
been synonymous with death, transformation and regeneration and therefore
may rejoice near the descendant (theoretically). Aries is about war
and machinery and during the early to mid 1800's there was great change
in industry and in firearms technology. This is where we get the "shadowy
outlaw" image of the old west. Pluto here seems to emphasize
survival of the fittest philosophy. It is an interesting coincidence
that the mass extermination of the red man (Indian warriors - Aries)
began when Pluto entered this sign.
In a diurnal chart, there may be
a greater possibility for awareness of the shadowy side of the soul
and a greater ability to purge or purify (or at least segregate) the
underbelly of the self from the idea of the image of ones self. These
characters may consciously embody the "John Wayne" mystique
as a way of manipulating survival circumstances in their favor. Though
I have not researched this, it would not surprise me if Jesse James
or some of the more infamous outlaws had close contacts between inner
planets and Pluto in Aries.
A nocturnal chart may move the individuals
survival perspective to the more unconscious and instinctive. Because
Pluto's sect/elemental nature is undetermined, it does not seem useful
to speculate further.
Astrology
The Western astrological sign Aries
of the tropical zodiac (March 21-April 20) differs from the astronomical
constellation and the Hindu astrological sign of the sidereal zodiac
(April 19-May 13).
Astrology is based on the belief
that anything that emerges into physical being at any moment in time
will share the spiritual qualities of that moment in time. Those born
when the Sun is in Aries do so when the Sun is 'exalted' in astrological
terms, since its return to the point of the zodiac where daylight
begins to overcome the dark, is seen as the sun-god regaining his
power and rising victorious to take control. Although ruled by the
planet Mars, Aries has much to do with the solar qualities of creativity,
energy, enthusiasm and courage. Subtle undertones and delicate suggestions
mean nothing to them; their greatness is to bring clarity and openness;
their weakness is their limited capacity to 'feel' what you are talking
about and their lack of sensitivity to those who expect them to read
their minds.
Aries resonates to the energy of
its planetary ruler, Mars, recognized as the bringer of action and
the impulse to attack or strike back. Mars is the defiant spirit;
when dignified it will show courage, fearlessness, respected leadership,
the propensity to take a risk and the lover of a challenge. In this
form Mars is the moral champion, ready to take up arms on behalf of
others less able or willing to put their necks on the line. When poorly
placed and displaying its less noble traits, it represents needless
aggression, violent eruptions, assertiveness to the point of selfishness,
and the urge to take from others without due regard to their needs
and well being. No astrologer can know from the sun-sign alone whether
those born under this sign display the highest or lowest facets of
its planetary ruler, they will be characterized by great energy and
readiness for action, with impulsiveness and competitiveness marking
their actions for good or bad.
Arians are often referred to as ambitious
and this can be true, but it is an ambition borne of the need to be
in front, to let no man stand in their way, as often that disposition
leads them into conflict with others who might otherwise have helped
them if they would taken a more carefully planned approach as witnessed
through the true, long-sighted ambition of the Capricorn. But Aries
tends to fight its way through life and if honor is deserved it is
in the fact that they remain true to their instincts and impulses.
Generally, what you see is what you get and what others might view
as 'social niceties', they will be more inclined to view as unnecessary
sycophantic hypocrisy.
The planet Mars is the ruler of the
sign. The Sun is considered to be in its exaltation in Aries, while
Saturn is considered to be in its fall (its weakest sign) and Venus
is in its detriment. Astrologically, Aries is a Fire sign and represents
bold action.
Mythology
The origin of Aries stems from the
tale of the Golden Ram. In Greek Mythology, this constellation comes
from the story of the Golden Ram. It all began when King Athamus of
Boetia married a woman named Nephele at Hera's command. She was a
woman made from a cloud in Hera's image to trap the centaur, Ixion.
The couple had two children; a son named Phrixus and a daughter named
Helle. After awhile, Athamus grew tired of Nephele and left her.
Athamus then remarried, and his second
wife was Ino, the daughter of Cadmus. She also gave him children --
two sons named Learchus and Melicertes. Nephele was angry and asked
Hera to assist in avenging Athamus' desertion. While this was going
on, Zeus asked Ino and Athamus to care for Dionysus, as he wanted
to keep him a secret from Hera. Hera eventually punished them for
this by making them go mad. Ino was terribly jealous of Athamus and
Nephele's children and plotted their deaths.
The hero Phrixus was fleeing from
his stepmother Mo on the back of a ram with his sister Helle. During
the journey Helle fell into the sea (which was afterwards called Hellespont)
but Phrixus escaped, upon reaching Colchis, Phrixius sacrificed the
ram to Zeus, and he hung its fleece in the grove of Ares where it
turned to gold, later to be pursued by Jason. Zeus placed the ram's
image among the stars in honor of it's heroism.
The golden fleece had the power to
restore life to the dead, an allusion to the creativity that is restored
to the earth upon the Sun's return to the vernal equinox in the northern
hemisphere (now fixed to denote the first point of Aries but at the
time of Astrology's development falling within this constellation).
Creative energy is invested into the symbolism of this star-group
but too much of it can lead to violence, intemperance and 'blood-rush”.

value their peers very well. Courageous and Energetic, the Arians
can beat anyone in their competition.

something different sort of stuff. Conferences and Meetings sound
boring to them. Rather, they like challenges at a Quick Speed. They
are always looking for "What Next ?" kind of thing in their
profession. Aries love to enjoy their tasks. Their office has trophies
and certificates on display.
General Character
Aries, the first sign of the zodiac
loves freedom, and will accept any challenge. Aries people are bold
and self-confident, although they tend to be overly impulsive. Stands
for their inner nature, the light of their essential character.
Ariens are always overflowing with
ideas, schemes and plans to conquer the world, for a well-aspected
sun in Aries radiates power and vitality.
Arians will get impatient if their
ideas do not work out immediately and as expected. They are unwilling
to follow someone else's suggestions, and have excess energy, which
can make them aggressive.
The Sun blazed in dynamic Aries,
a fire sign on their birthday. The Sun in astrology Zodiac, is a masculine
sign ruled by the warrior planet Mars, whose motto must be "Crash
through, or crash!”. A cardinal (creative and inventive)
sign, Aries, the Ram, governs leadership and initiative.
Ariens are great organizers, full
of flair and originality and Determined Fighter.
Aries is a fiery positive sign symbolized
by Ram. It is ruled by the planet Mars. They are noted for their energy
and initiative ness. They are born leaders and they derive pleasure
from overcoming difficulties, which comes their way. They have special
aptitude for taking responsibility and command, this makes them stand
high above others. They are highly ambitious & they are capable
of rising to the to. The main defect of Aries is the rashness with
which they act and the excessive self confidence they possess. This
can even lead to their ruin. They do not learn from their past mistakes.
They are splendid organizers and have the ability to foresee things.
They do not follow any fixed schemes and plans. They like to follow
their own intuitions.
Emotions are intense and are often
based on willful desire, impatient, moody and even given to brooding.
Easily hurt, they can become jealous will hold grudges and take revenge.
They often judge others too quickly and feel a need to dominate through
subtle means. They will not tolerate opposition to or interference
with their goals, but often they will sacrifice a great deal for kindness.
They have executive ability and are resourceful and enterprising.
Although abrupt and impulsive, they have self-confidence and the ability
to attain success. They usually get what you go after; however, they
might find that they have achieved a hollow victory. Since they are
so jealous, proud and possessive, this position doesn't promise a
harmonious marriage.
The wish to dominate is often reflected
in relationship with your children; it can be the result of a parent's
domination or of over-idealization of a parent, usually the mother,
who can be overly possessive, and she may have trouble freeing a child,
especially if male. They become emotionally intent on completing and
enjoying any project you have adopted, and you can seem lacking in
sympathy when so absorbed. Their personality is deep, and they have
shrewd insight into other people; often they like to probe into deep
and unknown fields. They regard the sense as instruments of pleasure
rather than knowledge, responding intensely and passionately to life
and sex. Their ability to observe is unlimited. Their willpower is
often latent, but when they use it, it is for the betterment of humanity.
They have a shrewd, careful, sound,
logical and judicious mind and a pleasant way of expressing themselves.
This shows a lot of common sense and indicates few, if any, emotional
anxieties.
They are psychic friends love spiritual
attitude to combat their potential negativity. for music or some sort
of artistic talent. With difficult aspects, their sense of reality
might be distorted and their mind may vacillate; they may tend to
wool-gathering or day-dreaming; they could be pessimistic, melancholy
and confused. Too many difficult aspects can give a morbid imagination,
a persecution complex or other neuroses or phobias. They should guard
against self-pity or personal resentment; concentrate on seeing and
thinking clearly.This shows a duality evincing contradictory qualities;
combined with their receptivity to outside influences, it's no wonder
that you are often accused of being moody and sensitive.
Harmonious surroundings are very
important to them because they react more from the subconscious than
from reason. They like to be well-informed and often have a great
and intuitive, and they learn by absorption rather than by study.
Their memory is retentive; their mentality is reflective, romantic
and poetic.
They are magnetic, and idea person
and a fast thinker. Restless, ardent and instigating, they may be
overwhelming, and their aggression may even drive others away. Because
they are outgoing and enthusiastic, they excel in social situations.
Their outlook is cheerful and positive; creative and artistic. With
difficult aspects, they may be fickle, may dash into an early or hasty
marriage, or they may even lack manners. They must develop more understanding
for other people's feelings.
Their nature is affectionate; warmhearted,
congenial and fun loving, and they don't like to think of the seamy
side of life. They enjoy family life but need and expect independence.
they may lack ambition to do much with your abilities and talents
because everything comes to easily to them.
Their inner strength is based on
a good philosophy of life. They operate with great bursts of energy
but have little endurance. They often embrace new ideas without thorough
investigation beforehand. Full of life and vigor, they can be a crusader
and are quite patriotic. Rhythm, harmony and tempo come naturally
to them. Because they are gallant, extravagant and scintillating,
their cheerful presence is welcome at any social gathering. Sexually,
they are expansive and exploratory.
Aries are noted for courage and leadership
qualities, primarily because they are nearly always ready for action.
The need for excitement pushes them into new territory - and as long
as they are ahead of others while demonstrating confidence, chances
are that they will follow.
As self-ordained leader of the pack,
Aries fight for what you believe to be important. But it's not that
Aries are fearless. their courage is more of a commitment to face
fears and overcome them.
Aries motto is ‘Ready, fire,
aim!’ It may be backwards for others, but they'd rather figure
out what to do while they are doing it. Impulsive actions, however,
can bring them their share of trouble. While others are gathering
information to make informed decisions, they are already on their
way. As such, Ariens could suffer from false starts. In fact, Aries
are so good at starting things that they can be off onto their next
project before completing the previous one. As Aries mature, they
will learn to slow down their reaction time in order to think about
the consequences of their actions.
As a Friend
As friends Arians are high-spirited
and generous, though sometimes they must control their competitive
impulses and how they affect those around them. They must learn to
temper their aggressiveness and use reason and diplomacy when dealing
with others.
They are very popular with friends.
They may go out of the way to save a friend from trouble. They are
always ready to forgive a wrong done to them. But they may not forgive
a wrong done to their friends. They like to fight straight. They do
not use any tricks.
As a Women
Physical Appearance - The Women born
in this sun sign are of medium height. The body is muscular and is
not very soft and plump. The head is broad at the temples and narrow
at the chin. Eyes have brown or grey shade The eyebrows are bushy.
The neck and the face of Aries women are longish and the skin is of
very good texture.
Mental Attitude - Arian woman is
ambitious and bold. Her actions are impulsive and she definitely believes
in work. Highly optimistic by nature she exerts to attain what she
wants in life. However some times rashness of action is also seen.
They are not afraid of people and situations and can take on any enemy.
They are short tempered and do not realize their weaknesses but may
repent it later.
General Nature - They are full of
energy and do not escape from responsibility that is given to them.
Arian women are generally truthful and it is very difficult for them
to keep a secret. Frankness and open mindedness are their two very
special attributes. She is not submissive in nature. Women born in
Aries sign have the ability to take quick actions and decisions. They
seldom like to take suggestions from others and ultimately act according
to their own will. They are best fitted to guide, control and govern
others.
Health - Though Aries born women
are of generally good health but few scars on the face and accidents
(minor and major) are not uncommon amongst them. They may suffer from
headaches, burns, inflammatory diseases, high fever, colic pains,
paralysis, insomnia, pimples, ringworm's, migraine, small pox etc.
They should rest and sleep and have high protein food and fresh vegetables.
They must do regular meditation so that their extra energy is channelized
positively.
Money - The money front for Arian
women is not stable. They will earn a lot by their effort and shall
spend it in rash and impulsive purchases. Investments made by Aries
do not pay well because of lack of planning. They should not make
an investment decision impulsively, but after carefully studying all
the pros & cons & taking expert opinion.
Romance & Sex Life - Due to extra
energy, Aries females always love to have male company. Unlike other
women they want to be a leader in love life also. They have the initiative
to make the first move in a relationship. An Arian woman can make
her man understand her motives and shall be happy when he reacts to
them. The best a man can do in a relationship with them is to resist
their impact as much as he can. They can have a long relationship
with a man that they can be proud of and show to the world like a
trophy, highly passionate female that they are likely to be a leader
in the foreplay also. Playing with hair delights them most. Every
part above the neck is their hot spot.
Marriage - In married life, either
they will have as such good adjustment with their husband that makes
all other women jealous of them or on the reverse side they will behave
in a manner that cuts short the relationship. The reason for the above
is that they can not be cowed down by their partner even for a short
period of time. They cannot see their husband praising anybody else
in their presence.
Caution - The Arian woman being a
little aggressive, only very calm and tactful husband can deal with
them. Otherwise the married life will face rough weather.
They should try to keep your temper
tied down and see reason before getting angry.
As a baby
A typical Aries has a strong, active
body and mind. Aries babies usually walk and talk early, but can be
lazy. Attention seekers who like to be in charge, Arians can have
a temper when thwarted. Aries baby will be generous with toys and
have a vivid, practical imagination. With an inexhaustible curiosity,
young Arians can achieve a lot in a short time. An Aries baby is usually
very affectionate.
Raising an Aries baby can be
challenging as they are usually very determined to do things their
own way. Saying 'no' to an Aries baby will not necessarily work, nor
will persuasion, coaxing or offering examples of good behavior. Most
Aries babies are very direct about their likes and dislikes. Perhaps
the best way to coax an Aries baby into action is to create a challenge
and the young Aries will need to prove that he is better than anyone
else.
Aries children love adventure, trying
most new things, solving problems and taking charge. However, emotionally
they can be a little fragile and will need a lot of reassurance and
to know that they are loved.
A typical Aries is healthy and quickly recovers from any illness.
They are, however, prone to accidents, particularly to the head.
Positive Qualities
They are a natural leader. Their
energy and enthusiasm are boundless, as is their physical courage.
Pioneers are rampant in this category, as are politicians. They care
little about the past, preferring to seek new avenues into the future,
so they will always throw theirself head and body into new projects,
which makes you an ideal leader in business and community. They rarely
allow theirself to be found in a subservient role, such as a secretary
or laborer. Instead, they will go out of their way to head their own
business, even if it's a small one.
This straight-to-the-point approach
can be quite effective in situations like strategy meetings, where
much time is lost in idle discussion, but an Arian's bluntness can
often be upsetting to others, or even offensive. Tact and diplomacy
are not in their nature, so smoothing over someone's hurt feelings
is awkward for them.
Negative Qualities
Most trouble spots in Arians' lives
involve reckless actions. Aries is a fire sign - highly impetuous
and combustible. In dangerous situations, they are the first to risk
your life, but they must be careful not to misjudge their chances.
In relationships, romantic and otherwise, you are prone to get angry
at small provocations. In particular, they tend to be resistant to
criticism, becoming defensive when their weaknesses are pointed out.
Fortunately, however, their anger is short-lived; once the fire is
put out, it will not reignite.
They sometimes arouse envy in others
because of their leadership position, their tendency to show off,
and their impatience with others. They believe that when something
needs to be done, it should be done right away, in a certain way,
and they can't understand why anyone should be slow or difficult about
it. They will end up doing the job them self if they feel others aren't
holding up their end.
Physical Qualities and Activities
They are the most naturally athletic
of any sign in the zodiac. The body is vehicle of life, and tends
it well. Excellence in sports, which others struggle to achieve, comes
rather easily to as if were born to it. They are most effective in
individual sports, such as track and field or tennis, and their independent
spirit only furthers drive for success.
There is a particular affinity for
metal in this sign, so an individual sport that combines with that
- such as shooting, fencing, bicycling, or race, race - car driving,
is ideal.
Aries is a sign of such vitality
and youth, health problems are fortunately uncommon. If anything happens,
they occur not by chance but by their own doing, such as overexertion,
overwork, or frustration from being in a situation where their strengths
are not being employed. Headaches from an overtaxed system are the
most frequent maladies (having sprung from the head of Zeus, this
should come as no surprise!). When they are laid up, they feel utterly
useless and depressed, because their primary vehicle is out of order.
But in general, good health is certainly one quality they can boast
of - yet another reason for them to be envied.
Their natural aggressiveness is both
commendable and dangerous, depending on how they direct it, of course.
Allans are the war-starters of the zodiac if other astrological factors
are negatively influenced. It's best to keep this in check by channeling
their fighting spirit into business or sports-related competition
- They can win those battles and hopefully make them self and those
around them happier as well.
Physical appearance
There are two types of people born
under the jurisdiction of Aries. The first type is tall (or at least
above average in height) with broad shoulders, a strong, well-proportioned
body, and elongated face. Although the frame of such an Aries subject
is powerful, being muscular, sinewy and large-boned in appearance,
some Aries natives of this type are inclined to be more slender in
build. The forehead is usually pronounced, being high, broad and well-rounded.
The complexion is customarily fair and the hair normally dark or sandy
in color. These Aries natives will most likely be drawn to pursuits
of an intellectual nature. Being extremely generous, this Aries type
is continually seeking to do good to others but tends to be careless
in discriminating between worthy and unworthy objects of charity…thus,
he or she is unlikely to amass wealth as easily as the Aries subjects
of shorter stature.
The second type of Aries native is
short and of robust build, usually with dark hair (tending toward
redness) and a swarthy, coarse, open-pored complexion which may best
be described as "leathery." Such individuals possess an
excellent business ability and are prolific money-makers, particularly
successful in all commercial areas. Somewhat headstrong, these Aries
subjects are impatient of restraint or criticism and utterly heedless
of advice.
While there are differences of temperament
between the tall and short Aries natives, all are subject to the same
mental influences and many characteristics are common to both types.
For example, the countenance will indicate a strong perceptive faculty.
The eyes (often grey to greenish-brown
in color) will be clear, steady and penetrating, indicating a sharpness
of sight. The eyebrows tend to be heavy and close-knit, seeming to
join with the bridge of the nose to form a "T," while the
end of the nose itself is often bulbous or button-shaped, appearing
to somehow stand out from (or not to "blend" with) the rest
of the face.
Those who fall under the influence
of Aries tend to have pointed but regular features with a prominent
forehead, suggestive of the horns of the Ram...this Sign's Zodiac
symbol. There will likely be bumps, moles or warts on some part of
the head, face or body, and the fingers of Aries subjects are usually
too thick for finely detailed handiwork.
The teeth are inclined to be even
and symmetrical, if somewhat on the large side. It is not unusual
for Aries individuals to bend forward slightly when they walk, "leading
themselves by the horns" so to speak, as if in search of a sparring
partner. Despite these apparent mean-looking features, most Aries
subjects are rather attractive, especially in the face (which is,
indeed, their strong point).
Many females possess the definitive
jaw line and accentuated cheekbones suggestive of the classical facial
lines of a model.
Many males possess an Adam's apple
which protrudes more than what would be considered normal.
The hair of both males and females
is usually healthy with plenty of shine and may be quite wiry in texture,
tending toward crispness or waviness, it is also inclined to grow
upward and backward.
Often redness is apparent in the
complexion or hair or the complexion is well tanned. Lean body, long
neck, large bones, not overly tall but strong limbs. Male Arians often
suffer from baldness or thinning of the hair.
Beauty - Aries, as the first and
fieriest sign of the Zodiac, prefers to set the trends, not follow
them. Depending on their generation, they are probably the first to
iron their hair straight or wear glitter on their cheeks or even get
that crazy Brazilian bikini wax. They like perfumes with florid, heady
undertones, and they would call attention to their piercing eyes with
bold shadow choices and well-groomed brows.
Though they’ll try anything
once – bold shades on their eyes, ultra-short pixie hair cuts
or the latest skin-hydrating therapy on the market – the one
thing in their life they're most loyal to is their sleek, sexy tube
of red lipstick. They probably have a dozen varieties of red, but
they're all vibrant and dangerous, never coy or subtle.
As a Cardinal Fire Sign, they like
to get things started, but they''re not so keen on finishing. This
short attention span holds true for them when it comes to their beauty
routine. They buy every new product that comes out, and then quickly
grow bored of it. Last season's discarded colors and half-used lotions
pile up beneath their sink and clutter up their vanity.
Although the lotions and potions
certainly help them shine, their true beauty comes from their spontaneity
and willingness to experiment, their glow with a radiant and confident
energy that is its own, natural blush.
Personality
Personal traits of an Aries person
are openness, enthusiasm and individualism. They are outspoken, alert,
quick to act and speak. They prefer to speak than listen. Arians are
ambitious, with lots of drive and a strong desire to lead. They make
poor followers. Fiercely independent, they usually take the side of
the underdog in any controversy. They are champions of lost causes
and losing battles. This trait is due to a strong belief in their
own abilities to turn any situation around.
Aries are fond of competition and
love to accept challenges, both at professional and personal ends.
They hate loosing a deal, and at the time of challenges and hard work,
they put their full energy into it.
They are spontaneous, impulsive,
direct, enthusiastic, and assertive. They believe in the
power of positive thinking and positive action, and they think of
yourself as a strong person-even invincible. They hate being ill or
in any way in a position of dependency. Accepting their own human
limitations and emotional needs is often difficult for you.
They are basically aggressive in
their attitudes and have less facility in the receptive arts of relating
to others, picking up subtle messages and nuances, listening, nurturing,
and harmonizing. Often they are so fired up about their own projects
or goals that they inadvertently run over or ignore other people’s
feelings and interests.
Being receptive and appreciative
of others' contributions, ideas, and feelings would go a long way
in improving their relationships. Their impatience to get on with
things causes them to be rather insensitive, and to therefore alienate
others unnecessarily. They also frequently try to accomplish their
ends by using anger or some version of a temper tantrum. They would
gain much by learning to slow down, relax, and just let things be
sometimes, but their energetic, restless nature rarely allows you
to do this.
Their instincts are powerful, warm
and zesty. They exhibit high spirits and have the distinct ability
to inspire and motivate others. Their emotions are aroused very easily
as they are sensitive to the circumstances and people around them.
Because they are quite impatient
and ambitious as well, they tend to rush headlong into the direction
they set their sights on and in the process may appear somewhat self
centered and egotistical to others. They may tread on a few toes here
and there whilst racing to their target although it isn't usually
intentional. Remember that they may have to deal with those people
tomorrow or next year.
They are a born leader and genuinely
try to help others to express their full potential - that is as long
as they agree with them, otherwise they can become a little overbearing
in their desire to always be right. The energy of Mars fills you with
dynamism and the will to win. They enjoy the challenge of a fight
and enjoy victory even more. Perhaps they should consider sports as
a venue for these fighting instincts as relationships could end up
a battleground for control of the other.
Their communication planet, Mercury,
will be in either Aries, Pisces or Taurus.
Romance
They are extremely friendly and charming,
and are very attracted to the opposite sex.
The opposite sex finds them fascinating
because of their beauty consciousness, lavish expenditure, dynamism
and adventurous nature.
As lovers, Aries can be refreshing,
challenging and stimulating, but they can also be frank, easily irritated,
noisy and demanding. Their high energy level usually gives a strong
sex drive, but as always they are marked by the need for instant gratification
and may not fully appreciate the soft touch and gentle, patient stimulation
that a tender partner may require.
Aries loves the hunt and will do
whatever it takes to get the prize they want. The question in their
mind will often be whether it's a prize worth keeping. Aries will
take risks during the chase and would love the object of their affections
to do the same. That give-and-take can keep things more than interesting
and going for quite some time. There is no doubt that Aries is seductive
and will prove hard to resist. Sparks will fly in this competitive
pas de deux, and it's the entire better where the Ram is concerned.
A mental attraction for impassioned Aries is often the first step
and the indicator as to whether things will progress. If things work
their way down – watch out! Once hooked, Aries loves strokes
and tender caresses and a lover who will tell them that they are the
best.
Love and Relation
Arians stubborn independence often
leads to loneliness, particularly in short-tempered persons. They
need to lead, to explore, to pioneer, often translates to impatience
in relationships. At first, a new relationship will be supercharged,
fiery, passionate in every way, as it begins to settle and mature,
they are likely to get bored, and begin looking for that excitement
elsewhere. This constant relationship ‘exploring’ may
be fun at first, but the bouncing around could ultimately get very
depressing, as them later find themself without the long-term companionship
others enjoy.
Male
As an extremely masculine-oriented
person, he looks for a mate who is "all female." Although
he wants a girl who is intelligent, he does not want one who will
"wear the trousers." Sometimes, there is simply no pleasing
the Aries man, but he is very romantic at heart and once he has made
his selection for a partner tends to remain constant and true. He
wishes to control the woman’s behavior and to satisfy his sexual
desires at all costs. A more developed and cultivated man aspires
to be a hero in the eyes of his beloved and is dreaming of proving
how much he loves in a real action.
He is irritated when his urge towards
an ideal is being limited somehow and when he doesn’t have enough
freedom to put his ambitions into life. He may loose his temper for
a while and in that case his life will be greatly complicated. Love
horoscope Aries explains that being adored and admired by someone
is of vital importance for this sign; otherwise he begins to worry
about himself.
Marriage to an Aries male is wonderful...assuming
the chosen woman can stand the pace. He prefers an honest approach
and will immediately see through any pretence.
Female
An Aries woman needs to satisfy immediately
her desires. She can’t control her wishes. She breaks up with
a man if he doesn’t satisfy her. In case he does, she can be
absolutely caring and faithful. The female Aries is happiest when
married to a passionate and possessive man...one who is determined
to make his mark in the world. Should she marry a weaker character,
then she will eventually be overtaken by unhappiness, for she cannot
bear to see others succeed where her partner fails. In such a situation,
she can become grumbling and ungracious with a tendency to constantly
find fault. However, if she finds the right man, then the female Aries
will be completely fulfilled and remain faithful for the remainder
of her life.
An ideal love partner
Aries - Aries. Fire with fire is
a compatible combination. That is the case when the passion is burning
with hot fire, a volatile, exciting and sometimes-stressful atmosphere,
peace, quiet and relaxation will be difficult to achieve, because
both of them are energetic people. When two of such exploding characters
get together, there is no possibility to avoid conflicts. If both
people try to rule the roost, disputes and tension will result. When
necessary, each will defend the other; boredom-will seldom arise in
this duo because both like to be active.
Aries - Taurus. Aries people may
be a little frustrated by a Taurean partner's lack of dynamism. Taurus
is fond of not to be in a hurry and to get pleasure from life and
to carry his sensuality solemnly. Aries doesn't see any sense in rituals.
Taurus will appreciate the security which Aries provides, and will
enjoy his financial success. Both are highly sensual, but the deliberate
pace and unimaginative lovemaking of Taurus may annoy Aries. Taurus
is a very homely person, while Aries is definitely not. Aries is impulsive,
and looks fiery or new experiences and freedom. Taurus is good at
making money but Aries is even better at spending it.
Aries - Gemini. About this couple
we could say that both are considered to be good and loving mates.
Both love to talk and they share a special compatibility to try new
things,. they value most of all, in all the world the variety in life.
If Aires is in love, he holds nothing back to the love. Aries is clever,
dynamic and intelligent where as a Geminian is versatile, dominant
and ingenious. Gemini can provide a good balance for Aries. The Geminian
partner will calm Aries fire, but in so doing will help him to keep
his feet on the ground. Aries feel little insecure from time to time
by the intelligent conversation of Gemini but still enjoys it.
Aries - Cancer. It is not a good
match for Aires with his boiling temper. Both are completely opposite
in behavior and attitude and for sure, these two opposite individuals
cannot reconcile: one is furious and passionate, and the second -
conservative and romantic. They are considered only as good friends
but not the best ones. They are least compatible to work together.
Aries leap without looking but a Cancerian is very cautious about
everything. Cancer is a home-lover but Aries loves freedom. Aries
has a very sharp tongue that hurts Cancerians. Cancerians are very
sensitive and so Arians feel difficult to speak frankly with them.
Aries - Leo. This couple will create
the real fireworks of passion. The union of these two hearts won't
be smooth, because both of them are not used to give the palm of superiority.
There could be major clash of wills between them as both like to lead
and have got egos to burn. They hardly take each other seriously.
Aries and Leo always dream to take the first place individually so
there is always a clash between them. Both share a warm, loving relationship
as love means a great deal to them. Aries is optimistic and open to
life; Leo is generous and good-hearted. The relationship is fruitful,
happy and rewarding only when there is compromise between both of
them and one of them is ready to take second place.
Aries - Virgo. There is an emotional
roller coaster between both as Aries are bold, confidant and straightforward
whereas Virgo are reserved, shy and lack self-confidence. Aries are
selfish and quick-tempered while Virgo are mostly helpful, intelligent
and practical. Aries like to be the king with new ideas and Virgo
simply does what Aries want. Virgo is often willing to work as a subordinate
to Aries. There is a strong attraction between them. Their relationship
ends up at a positive note up after they have sort out their difficulties
together. If Aires will suddenly feel that she needs an intellectual
near, she can stop his choice on Virgo.
Aries - Libra. There is an instant
chemistry between them as both are completely opposite and thus serve
as an evened couple. What one lacks other has abundance of it. Aries
are self-centered, adventurous and aggressive whereas Librans loves
peace, harmony, and are sociable and co-operative. Librans always
make feel better for having with them. Both are friendly, fun-loving
and good entertainers. There might be some friction between them as
Aries prove himself to be the boss every time. This is a good and
marvelous affair but not the best match for successful marriage.
Aries - Scorpio. These are two individual
fighters! This union would be full of sufferings more than joy. In
the same way proud and passionate, people that were born under these
signs will be rivals in everything. They together prove to be good
and successful love couples since they are energetic, powerful, enthusiastic
and passionate. Both have a dominating nature and therefore each of
them tries to control the other one. Both want to be in the first
place. The partnership is not long lasting and successful unless they
are passionate and energetic to make it so. While both are selfish
and short-tempered Scorpians are even jealous. Scorpians have strong
reasoning power and are passionate lovers, which helps them to maintain
a stable relationship.
Aries - Sagittarius. It's considered
a perfect and great match since they have lot in common. These two
human types have all the chances to live interesting and joyful life.
Both are optimistic, jovial, straightforward, confident, intellectual,
social, and energetic and have good sense of humor. This combination
has a smooth friendly relationship rather than a love affair. The
cracks between their relationship are for a little while as both are
frank and straightforward but once again they are best friends. Aries
adjusts well with Sagittarius. Both have a good sense of humor and
therefore they enjoy each other's company by having lots of fun and
pleasure. These two were born to complete each other in everything.
Aries - Capricorn; There are many
problems in a relationship between Aries and Capricorn. Capricorn
is practical, ambitious, humorous, reserved and patient while Aries
is adventurous, confident, energetic, impatient and very open. Since
both are self-centered, selfish and dominating their relationship
is often led to entangle and thus proves unsuccessful, though if Capricorn
would think too much about career, Aires would get the feeling of
abandonment. Capricorn is not at all impressed by Aries' nature of
new innovations. Capricorn's behavior and strength sometimes wins
Aries heart. This relationship lasts longer only when one is ready
to win others' heart and allows other to dominate.
Aries - Aquarius. Both of them live
for tomorrow and have a common belief in themselves. Relationship
between them is not long lasting. Love freedom and are ambitious,
energetic, have similar interests - are friendly, courageous and unemotional.
Aries are selfish and short tempered while Aquarians are unpredictable
and intractable. Both have a dominating nature and want to lead. Depending
on the mood Aquarians allow Aries to lead, otherwise the major problem
of conflicts may arise in their love life or marriage life. One doesn't
feels secure with the other one, may be due to their ego problems.
This unique couple puts all the others in the shadow: sharp-minded,
emancipated, and it is easy to throw down a challenge to everyone
and everything.
Aries - Pisces. It is hard too imagine
the bigger contrast so sensitive and mysterious Pisces and the open
and joyful Aires. Both are surprisingly well suited to each other
as one is dominant over the other. Aries easily dominate over the
Piscean as the latter likes someone to lead on them. Aries are selfish,
bold and impatient, on the other hand Pisces are selfless, shy and
secretive. Piscean's imagination and intuition helps Aries to innovate
new ideas and experiments. The relationship leads to success as Aries
is attracted by Piscean's sensitive nature and Piscean feels no obstruction
to be in the second place.
Compatibility
Beat suggestions to avoid Cancer,
Scorpio and Pisces. (too sentimental for you), Gemini (too much bickering),
and Virgo (too fussy for you). In marriage and friendship. and should
be look for Libra, Sagittarius and Leo.
Their ideal partnerships are with
the other two fire signs, Leo and Sagittarius - they have a great
deal in common with both. Aries and Libra is an excellent match of
opposites, however- it mates Mars with Venus, and many secondary Arian
character traits are primary with Libra, and vice-versa.
Health
Aries rules the head, the cerebral
hemispheres of the brain, the upper jaw, the eyes, and the face. Under
planetary afflictions these people are subject to brain fever, dizziness,
nosebleed, neuralgia, inflammation of the cerebral hemispheres, and
diseases of the brain and face. They frequently suffer from a rush
of blood to the head.
Their diseases - Brain derangement,
headache, fevers like plague, malaria, sleeping sickness, apoplexy,
insomnia, eye troubles, pyorrhea and indigestion in health.
In terms of anatomy Aries is said
to rule the cranium, jaw, facial bones, brain, upper teeth, carotid
arteries, and nerve centers.
The illness and health problems might
include fevers, eye problems and skin complaints, weight gain when
slowing down with age.
Career
Athlete, Engineer, Doctor Explorer
Soldier Sailor Airman, any type of leader. Aries can best perform
as entrepreneurs, and in professions like fire fighter, dentist, surgeon,
professional athlete and mechanic. But apart from these, an Arian
can do whatever he sets his eye at!
Those born under this Sign are competitive
and love the game, whether it's business or life. They hate to lose,
which means they'll probably win. And when the ‘contest’
is in full swing, the only speed they know is full steam ahead.
Aries like being the leader and aren't
as comfortable in a subordinate role. This isn't usually a problem,
since – thanks to their cocksure belief in themselves –
they like to start projects and blaze the trail for colleagues. True
to a Fire Sign, Aries can be combustible at times. At least they're
always ready to rumble! Even if they aren't always diplomatic, Aries
are considerate of their colleagues and display great energy and courage
in the field of battle – umm, make that the workplace. As long
as Rams can stay within themselves, they are likely to be successful.
One thing the Ram craves is adventure.
Preachy staff meetings are a snore, since Aries would much rather
be out in the field closing a key client. New challenges need to come
at a fast and furious pace for those born under this sign or else
it's "NEXT!" as in next job. A safety net for the hard-charging
Ram? Not! Retirement is for everyone else – the Ram will stay
in the game forever, changing the rules along the way so as to keep
it interesting (but still legitimate).
The Aries office is likely to be
spare, with only a few token trophies and emblems of success as reminders
of past victories.
Aries is well-suited to become a
firefighter, surgeon, mechanic, dentist (watch that drill!), professional
athlete and, most of all, entrepreneurs.
Finance
Arians prefer fame than fortune and
could hit it big and make a bundle (many are entrepreneurs), it's
more than likely that any fortune attained will have been as a result
of their incredible will to succeed, not a desire to get rich.
Arians are daring and bold, the go-getters
of the Zodiac. They like to run the show - and they like to win! This
quality might get them in trouble every now and again where money
is concerned, but invariably, they'll wriggle out of it. It's action
and adventure that the Ram craves, whatever the cost. With the world
as their oyster, Arians will purr like a cat. Bottom line: the Rambo
of the boardroom has arrived!
The Ram doesn't spend much time thinking
about getting rich, since it's the journey that matters, not the end
result. Moving their agenda forward is top priority, even if the agenda
isn't fiscally sound - hey, it's THEIR agenda! Oftentimes, money to
Arians is nothing more than the "currency" which will enable
them to get what they want.
Rarely, since that would be no fun.
Don't expect a nest egg from an Arian, someone who would much rather
have a job that paid a fair day's wage and not much more so long as
it came with freedom and flexibility.
Even so, the Ram loves to spend and
is the dream of marketers. "Such a deal!" they'll exclaim.
"I'll take ten." This kind of behavior could wreak havoc
on the checkbook, and to make matters worse, Arians are loathe to
balance accounts! Arians would be well-served to save for a rainy
day, but they probably won't.
The flip side of ariens is that they
do not repay loans promptly however, if Arians have a couple of bucks
on hand, they'd be more than happy to lend it.
Financially speaking, although they
can't be bothered with most details, money is an exception. This is
due to their strong need to be independent - if they are in debt,
they are in a sort of financial prison, and will therefore feel confined
and depressed until they are back in the black; then they can dash
around with the best of them.
Since they relish a challenge, they
are prone to financial recklessness. They have a tendency to move
from job to job, either from boredom or an inability to compromise
and work harmoniously with others. As long as they use their sense
of independence, leadership, and ambition constructively, they will
be financially rewarded. Just be careful not to flaunt it too much
on showy things, or to invest in get-rich-quick schemes. Money fuels
their sense of freedom, so try to be responsible with it.
They are well
