Duality: Masculine
Triplicity (Element): Fire
Quadriplicity (Quality): Cardinal. Aries is active, energetic, excitable & impulsive, optimistic, open to change & new experiences.
Ruling Planet: Mars; Ancient god of war, agression, conflict. In astrology, Mar's influence fosters tension & accidents; it rules over fire & danger.
Symbol: The Ram; Assertive, sexual, able to climb to great heights.
Glyph (Written Symbol): The pictograph represents the horns & long nose of the Ram. It also pictures the eyebrows and nose of man (the head is part of the human anatomy that Aries rules). In symbolic terms, the glyph is two half moons joined by a straight line, which indicates idealism tied to authority & leadership.
Dominant Keyword: I AM
Polarity: Libra; Aries is a "me first" sign. People with Aries tendencies strongly project their own personalities & can be quite selfish. Libra, which is Aries's oppostie sign, is the sign of partnership. Natives of Libra feel incomplete without a partner or lover, & strive for happiness as a pair.
Part of The Body Ruled by Aries: The head; Aries people are prone toward headaches, & subject to minor injuries around the head & face.
Lucky Day: Tuesday
Lucky Numbers: 1 & 9
Magickal Birthstone: Diamond; Attracts love, financial success, & brings luck in new ventures. The diamond is particularly lucky for Aries people when worn on the left side of the body.
Special Color: Red; The color of fire & excitement.
Cities: Florence, Naples, Verona, Marseilles
Countries: England, Germany, Poland
Flowers: Geranium, Honeysuckle, Sweet Pea
Trees: All thorn bearing trees
Metal: Iron
Animals Ruled by Aries: Sheep & especially Rams
Danger: Aries people are susceptible to harm from fire & sharp instruments. They are also prone to accidnets involving high speed, & tend to get into violent & dangerous situations.
Your most likable trait: COURAGE
Aries is the first sign of the zodiac, the sign that symbolizes a new beginning. There is a dynamic restlessness to the Aries character. With the Sun in this sign, you are an activist & doer. If you have a new plan or idea-if an enterprise strikes your fancy-you can't wait to plunge right in. The amusing little prayer, "Grant me patience NOW!" is typical of the Arien attitude.
When others first meet you their instant impression is of someone exciting, vibrant, talkative. Others will be lucky if they can get a word in edgewise. If someone brings up a topic, you will be delighted to tell in great detail exactly what you think about.
As an Aries person you gravitate toward the center of action. You are a natural leader who exudes self confidence. From an early age you feel you are headed for success, & you treat oppostition as an annoyance to be brushed out of the way.
There is nothing faint-hearted about an Arien. You are willing to take a gamble, follow a dream, set your mind on a goal, & pursue it with irresistible enthusiasm. Your supreme quality of optimism attracts others. Underneath there may lurk insecurity, but no one will ever know about it.
This is not to say you don't get depressed or moody. But the winter of despair doens't last a week with Aries. You have an uncrackable optimism. It is true, however, that Aries people are notoriuous for taking offense at fancied slights & injuries. Hot tempers & childish tantrums abound, & your threshold of boredom is extremely low. If success is not immediate, you may lose interest & go in search of other excitement. As a result, patient, plodding types often get to the head of the class before you do.
Ariens have a well-desereved reputation for not finishing what they have begun. You sometimes spend your energy in too many different ways, like the Ring Lardner hero who mounted a horse & rode off in all directions at once.
Independence is a keyword. You can turn sulky & peevish if you have to take orders. You would much rather be the world's largest lizard than the world's smallest dragon. You want to run the whole show. If you can't, you pull up stakes & look for a situation in which you can show off your style & brilliance.
Should you come up against a superior force, you will tell a white lie if it seems advantageous. You are not a very adept liar, however, others see right through you. Sometimes you lack tact & diplomacy-but no malice is intended. Sagittarians also lack this quality of tact because they don't know how to be oblique or roundabout. With you, tactlessness is an impulsive act-a careless expression of your innate force. Too often you speak without thinking & say whatever pops into your mouth, & usuaully regret your impulsiveness later.
Aries is lucky with money, but can't hold on to it. You tend to run up big bills, live extravagantly, soar over budget. However, you usually find a way to pay off what you owe. You have too much pride to remain in anyones debt.
In friendship you give magnanimously if someone is in need-but you want to get credit for your good deeds. In the garden of Aries, there are no shrinking violets.
You are creative, open hearted, high spirited, pioneering, also vain, feisty, & impatient. Those who deal with you on an intimate basis will have one chief problem: How are they going to keep up the pace?
