The zodiac gives birth when 0 degrees of Aires arrives, usually around March 21st.
Aires energy is the thrust of new spring life. It wants to burst forth, make love, move, take-charge, grow. It feels the force of creative light, wishing to manifest as expressive will. Mars, Aires ruling planet, has charge over the head and brain, and the important organs associated with the head, especially the eyes.
Aires people love a challenge! “The Egyptians called him ‘artes’ giving the word for arts. Mars symbolized ‘man’s personal, creative expression. Inspirational fire is the motivating force for Aires energy. Mars loves to be ahead of everyone, or the head of anything. They are of course, headstrong. Their glyph represents the Ram’s head. Because of their drive, Aires can be prone to headaches, head injuries, nose and eye issues. Many Aires carry strong Ayurvedic Pitta (fiery)energies.
The sun god, Surya, and Mars, Aires ruling planet, have much in common and support a body ‘becoming,’ growing into selfhood. Both are fiery energies, with a driving will. Aires, being the first sign of the astrological zodiac, supports the soul to understand itself as a separate entity, to express a life force vigorously that it may withstand the pressure of change, to not grow back toward Pisces oneness.
Aires energy loves forward movement. Rarely does the Mars ruled body stagnate, or sit still, unless other forces are at work. Aires people are often courageous, and have a great facility for cutting through bullshit, unless they are working the dark side of their nature; using manipulation and abuse to get desired results. One of Aires lessons is patience in order to move through blocks, taking a breath to reconsider is always Aires appropriate.
Aires folk, because of their innate leadership abilities, are aware that playing the fool at times can reveal the signature of a great commander. At their best, they understand it does not always serve to boss others around, rather to lead by becoming the lowest/the fool, and serve as an example to move others forward.
Aires energy calls for new life, new experience, and re-birth. Its inspirational fire activates outwardly. ‘Headstrong’ is often appropriate for Aires because of their desire to sow seeds and stimulate others into ardent action. It is important for them to taking a cooling moment, a deep breath, a forward fold, an upsidown cooling headstand before moving on into the next great adventure.
