- Aries (March 21-April 19)
- By: JaniceJ
-
- Aries is ruled by action packed Mars, and symbolized by the ram.
-
- Anyone who has ever seen two rams cracking heads in a battle for
- territorial rights has a fairly accurate picture of arian methods of
- operation. The self directed assertiveness of the ram almost
- guarantees that being intimidated into submission will never be a
- problem they'll face.
-
- A rather excitable impulsiveness, which leads to an unhappy tendency
- to leap before looking, is a more obvious arian difficulty.
-
- Aries can accomplish much once their dynamic energies are controlled.
- Their martain courage urges them to take risks and attempt new
- undertakings no one else has thought of. Aries' life goal is to make
- these new beginnings and in doing so to open new pathways for us all.
-
- Arians, along with those whose natal charts contain a prominent Mars,
- can at times be extremely long on exciting new beginnings, but sadly
- short on patient follow through. A new and arousing project can
- divert their attention and they'll be off like a whirlwind to build
- new castles, leaving the old one half completed.
-
- Aries is a fire sign, the first of three in the zodiac (Aries, Leo,
- Sagittarius). Once a fire is burning, and Aries burns red hot, it is
- not so easy to put out or to direct. Rams were born believing that no
- one could possibly direct their course half as well as they and, as a
- result, they tend to respond poorly (if at all) to discipline,
- authority or direction from outside themselves.
-
- The glyph for Mars, which resembles an arrow or spear, (a little like
- this: o-> ) is confirmation of the inner beliefs all aries vibrate to.
- If you saw that driving towards you, you would probably get out of the
- way in a hurry, which is exactly what Aries wants.
-
- Rams always seem to be in a hurry. They burn off physical energy at an
- alarming rate, but it is necessary for them. All that pent up fire
- needs an outlet and consequently Aries are renown as athletes and
- fierce competitors. They bring enthusiasm and dash to everything they
- touch and can be inspiring leaders.
-
- Rams have a reputation for living on the brink. They have courage as a
- natural quality, and they need it! Aries may seem, at times, to
- thrive on crisis and last minute deadlines. It motivates them the way
- nothing else can.
-
- Relationships, which are ruled by Aries' opposing sign Libra, can be
- an insecure area for our rams. the GOD of war, their ruling planet,
- does not believe in compromise. "This is my space, and I will never
- surrender it!", Aries says, forgetting that in relationships
- compromise and sharing is essential. Insecure rams may even attempt to
- dominate partners with the formitable force of their will, a behavior
- with a potential for tragic consequences.
-
- Rams who are self confident enough to have learned the lessons of
- balance and equality can make marvelous partners. They are candid and
- open, great fun to be with and exciting and passionate lovers.
- Complex and daring, the sign ruled by the force of Mars is one of the
- zodiac's prime motivators.
