Aries – symbolized by the RAM. 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, RAM’s were often symbols of leadership.

The Sun blazed in dynamic Aries, a fire sign on your birthday. The Sun in astrology stands for inner nature, the light of one’s essential character. Aries, the first sign of the 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. Aries people are bold and self-confident.

The Sun, the ruler of our inner nature, is very well placed in Aries, the sign of its exaltation. This energy is very attractive, even compelling, and few can resist being carried along in the jetstream. Ariens are always overflowing with ideas, schemes and plans to conquer the world, for a well-aspected sun in Aries radiates power and vitality. Many a moth has been burned in its flame! Life, of course, is one long party.

Flair and Originality 
Ariens are great organisers, full of flair and originality. Ariens are often intuitive and articulate, with the capacity to inspire others, especially in projects which have a clear outcome and do not require a long lead-time.

Amassing masses of energy and courage, and will rush in where angels fear to tread, for the Arien ego can be domineering. Optimistic in nature, impatience for inaction, and desire for self-aggrandisement result in quality outcomes.

A Determined Fighter 
The emblem for Aries is the RAM, a determined fighter and a powerful adversary, with a strong urge to express himself over the widest possible field of endeavour. Is the grass greener on the other side of the hill? Of course it is, isn’t it, Aries?

A Creative Individual
Creative Aries, a cardinal sign, loves to be the leader and can organise fantastic and impressive ventures. Unfortunately, despite my desire to be the front-runner in all I do, sometimes I do get bored with the whole affair and contemplate leaving. This can see the whole house of cards collapsing, but happily my enthusiam is easily roused and when I set mind mind to it. I can inspire others to stick to those essential jobs that sometimes seem no more than the merest details to the noble Ram. You see, painful as this may seem, you really need the team as much as the team needs you!

Aries Rules the Head
Aries rules the head, brain and eyes, so people with Aries active in their charts are subject to head ailments. However, although you can be highly-strung, your great fund of energy enables you to survive where other less exuberant folks might succumb.

Red and White
Aries colours are red and white. Aries rules metallic iron and my birthstone is the brilliant diamond, symbolising clear strength, purified under pressure. Nature creates the precious diamond out of crumbly, coal-black carbon, by applying intense heat and pressure for a very long time. Flowers for Aries include the red poppy, geraniums, honeysuckle and hollyhocks.

How I Approach Life and How You I Think I Appear To Others
I appear gentle and soft, and act rather reserved with others until I know them well and feel it is safe to be open with them. I have a strong need for emotional security and a sense of belonging, and are deeply attached to the past: my heritage, roots, family, cherished friends, familiar places, etc. Making radical changes or moves away from what is known and safe can be a challenge at times I like to hold on to people, memories, possessions of personal or sentimental significance. Having a home, a safe haven, is very important to me.
