| situations. For those reading about someone else’s sign, these quick fact statements can help with everything from choosing an appropriate gift to seeing if the Aries personality will fit in with the mix at a social gathering or employment setting. |
| Glyph description and meaning: The glyph for Aries is a Ram’s head. It is representative of the prominent horns and nose line of the Ram. It alludes to the eyebrows and nose of man. Since Aries rules the head, it is appropriate that the glyph for this sign can also be seen as a minimalist sketch of the human head or face. In the ancient symbology, the glyph represents two half moons that have been joined by a straight line. This was thought to indicate the individual would have a tendency to idealism which is tied to authority and leadership. Ruling Planet Aries is ruled by the planet Mars. Named for the Ancient God of War, this planet has strong influence in the areas of stress, tension and accidents. Ruling over both the element of Fire and the aspect of danger Mars can be a difficult ruling planet. Aries however, knows how to deal with this as it is their norm, taking in stride what others would find very difficult. Mars’ influence can always cause aggressive feelings especially during times of conflict. Placement and Symbology of placement in the Zodiac Aries is the first sign of the Zodiac. It begins the new year astrologically and speaks of new beginnings. This also is emblematic of the Aries perchance for better starters that finishers. Duality Duality in Western Astrology is much like Yin/Yang energy in the Eastern Tradition. As the first sign of the Zodiac, Aries carries a masculine duality. This means that an Aries may well show more forceful and projecting attitudes rather than soft and receptive ones. Polarity Your Polarity is Libra. The polarity is truly a situation of opposites. Aries is a sign of the self (and there’s nothing wrong with that!) while Libra is the sign of ultimate partnership. Cardinal/Mutable/Fixed A Sign is either: Cardinal, Mutable or Fixed. Aries is a Cardinal sign making it active, energetic. Maybe even excitable and impulsive; if there isn’t anything going on, Aries usually knows where to go to find some fun. Aries tend to be more optimistic and open to change than most other signs. Aries, due to their Cardinal association and a masculine duality, enjoy getting out and about and having new experiences. If you know an Aries who is down in the dumps, a new experience – a ride through a new area or dinner at a new ethnic restaurant – may be just the thing to pull that Ram out of their doldrums. Dominant Keywords I am and Initiative. These keywords are especially important when looking at the realm of employment for Aries. Some people get a job and stay there forever. The Aries personality is more likely to need a change in either duties or position, or even employer if things get dull. Aries is a good initiator. An Aries personality is a good one to get things started and going. Aries, as a leader, would make a good project manager for a short term project. But if tied to a long term situation the Aries personality may feel a little caged in when they want to roam the high rocky places. Most Likeable Trait Aries is courageous to a fault. The Ram truly will rush in where angels fear to tread. Lucky Day – Your lucky Day is Tuesday. Danger The main danger with the Aries personality is their susceptibility to harm from fire (remember Aries is a Fire Element Sign) and from sharp instruments (masculine energy). Aries tend to have a more than average number of accidents involving high or excessive speed. Because Arians live more in the moment, looking at life before them, they can sometimes allow themselves to get caught up in situations that can be either dangerous and/or violent. By balancing the most likeable trait of tremendous courage with a sense caution the smart Aries can maneuver even the most treacherous of rocky outcrops with ease. Cities and Countries The following cities and countries are associated with the sign of Aries. If you’re an Aries looking for someplace new to travel, or if you are making plans for an Aries, the following places are full of Aries energy and are sure to let that Aries energy shine to it’s best advantage! England, Germany and Poland are countries not only rich in history, but also are full of energy of the world moving forward into tomorrow. Travel in these countries would appeal to those born in the sign of the Ram. If you want to do an intensive visit in a specific city to help charge Aries energy Florence, Naples, Verona and Marseilles would all be good choices. Element Aries are linked to the element of fire. Known for it’s association with aggression and passion, fire’s energy helps to kindle Aries’ creative nature. Metal Iron is the metal most commonly associated with Aries. Iron is an old metal and carries great wisdom. If Aries takes time to think they usually are quite capable of creating the future they want to happen…providing it keeps their interest long enough. |
