Aries
 (1 vote)"Aries is the wake-up call of the zodiac. In ancient times the spring equinox marked the start of the New Year and festivities were held to honour the birth of new life and the new beginnings that lay in store. The Ram became celebrated in the associated stars as a sacred symbol of resurrection, since its fleece, when shorn, continues to grow and provides a constant, abundant supply. 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." |

Muscles and Aries
"Ah, spring! The Sun’s radiance energizes the air and ground, coaxing crocuses and daffodils to burst brightly. Lithe baby animals frolic and skitter everywhere. Glorious spring, when our hearts turn light, shedding winter’s heavy cloak, rushing into new activity and brushing away the past. But what happens when these glad moments produce an aftermath of aches and strains? Oh, the throbbing spasms. Ouch, the charley horse! Is this our reward for waiting out winter? To feel cramped and decrepit after a few glorious hours of physical abandon?" |

Aries and the Masculine in Astrology
"When beginning astrologers discover that the signs are defined as masculine or feminine in quality, they encounter a paradox which sets the tone for all future study. The fire and air signs, we are told, are masculine, positive, expressive, etc., while the earth and water signs are feminine, negative, and receptive. These misleading tenets label the signs at the outset, inculcating beliefs which pervade our culture and which stigmatize the potential of archetypal expression as 'good' or 'bad,' positive or negative. The positive, constructive expression of Aries has been portrayed as the energy of the pioneer, the goal-setter, the Mars type human being. The go-getters in our culture are encouraged to push their way to success, to the exclusion of so-called soft feminine expression of the seminal (another masculine tenet) sign. " |

Aries The Principle of New Beginnings
"Element-Fire Quality-Cardinal Symbol-The Ram Sun Sign Dates-March 21 to April 20 Planetary Ruler-Mars Natural Zodiac Affinity-First House Aries enjoys new challenges. Challenge feeds its life force and sparks it's reason for living. Aries is a kind of pioneer. They often act without stopping to consider the consequences of their actions and so they are quite impulsive. Aries will display a quick and enthusiastic interest in new projects but, tends to fizzle when the newness begins to wear off. If the desired pursuit is seen by them as necessary to their survival though, then they will work diligently towards that goal, slicing through obstacles and single-mindedly going after what they want. As such they can be quite aggressive and competitive. They want to win. After they win, they are quick to find other challenges to revitalize their life force. They are a survivor in every sense of the word and when you need someone fearless on your side, find an available Aries. " |
