Aries
live life head first; after all, those horns on
your head are not just for fighting. Your
headstrong nature can make you a "battering ram"
and woe is the person who stands in your way.
Aries are noted for courage and leadership
qualities, primarily because you are nearly always
ready for action. The need for excitement pushes
you into new territory -- and as long as you are
ahead of others while demonstrating confidence,
chances are that they will follow you. As self-ordained
leader of the pack, Aries fight for what you
believe to be important. But it's not that Aries
are fearless. Your courage is more of a commitment
to face your fears and overcome them.
Aries motto is "Ready, fire, aim!" It may be
backwards for others, but you'd rather figure out
what to do while you are doing it. Impulsive
actions, however, can bring you your share of
trouble. While others are gathering information to
make informed decisions, you are already on your
way. As such, you could suffer from false starts.
In fact, you Aries are so good at starting things
that you can be off onto your next project before
completing the previous one. As you Aries mature,
you learn to slow down your reaction time in order
to think about the consequences of your actions.
Element: Fire
Fire signs are naturally warm. A fire gives light
and heat, but it doesn't get depleted as others
feed on its warmth. One candle can bring light to
a room and it won't burn any faster if ten people
read from its light than if there was only one.
Fire doesn't plan it next move; it isn't logical.
It simply is in the moment and will burn what fuel
is available without judgment or forethought. For
this reason fire signs can successfully rely on
their intuition and survival instincts.
The fire of Aries is spontaneous and hot. It's
like a pile of dry kindling that burns fast but
cannot sustain itself for the long haul.
First House: Self
The First House symbolizes our physical body and
our personality -- how we appear to the outer
world. It's not necessarily who we are; it's what
we bring to a situation and how others see us. It
represents our childhood, the beginning of any
activity or even the start of a new relationship.
It's not, however, about the other person; it's
about how others see us. No doubt, everything
starts with the First House.
Key Planet: Mars
Mars is called the "Angry Red Planet." In Greek
mythology, Mars was the God of War. But Mars isn't
only about fighting; it's about going somewhere,
going anywhere. If someone is in our path, then,
perhaps we must fight with them in order to keep
going. Mars is like the gas pedal of our bodies.
It's represents how we move forward in life. In
any chart, Mars offers clues as to how we express
our basic energy. As the key planet of Aries, it
reminds us to "just do it."
