S&ub Title: Aries

Key Word: Dynamic action

General

In Western astrology the twelve starsigns are based on the orbit of our Earth around the Sun - and have little connection with the stellar constellations. Aries is seen as the "first" sign of the Zodiac, as it starts at the exact moment day and night are of equal length - the Spring equinox. All the other signs are measured from this point. Signs have no manifest effect in themselves but are activated when planets or houses are placed in them.

The sign Aries is ruled by the planet Mars. Physically it is related to the head. It is said to have a masculine nature, and is therefore more penetrative in its energy. Aries is a Fire sign, and this means a planet placed here will have a need to manifest itself in a very dynamic manner, and that the expression of personal identity through action is important. The desire to come first is paramount, and this comes to expression with a naive effervescence and inexperienced innocence. It is a world of knights and princesses. As Aries is also a Cardinal sign, its energy is manifested in dynamic bursts. Short-term goals are important and tangible results are achieved rapidly.

People with a strong emphasis in this sign will have leadership and pioneer traits, though there is a tendency to impulsiveness and a short temper. Impatience and egocentricity need to be tempered, and greater awareness of the needs of others should be developed, if conflict and tension are to be avoided.

Taurus is also connected with the resources of Nature, and the whole issue of value and worth. Therefore it is associated with finance, worldly goods and security.
