Aries! About Your Sign...
The spring equinox, March
21, is the beginning of
the new zodiacal year and
Aries, the first sign, is
therefore that of new beginnings.
The young ram is adventurous,
ambitious, impulsive, enthusiastic
and full of energy. The
Arian is a pioneer both
in thought and action, very
open to new ideas and a
lover of freedom. They welcome
challenges and will not
be diverted from their purpose
except by their own impatience,
which will surface if they
don't get quick results.
Aries subjects are courageous
leaders with a genuine concern
for those they command,
being responsible people,
it is rare that they will
use their subordinates to
obtain their own objectives
as leaders, but occasionally
it does happen. They do
not make very good followers
because they are too "take
charge". They may be
unwilling to obey or submit
to directions for which
they can see no reason,
or with which they disagree.
They are much concerned
with self, both positively
and negatively - self-reliant
but also self centered (sometimes)
and concerned with their
own personal advancement
and physical satisfaction.
Their immense energy makes
them aggressive and restless,
argumentative occasionally,
headstrong, quick tempered,
easily offended and capable
of holding grudges if they
feel themselves affronted.
As the first sign in the
zodiac, you, as an Arian
(as you are referred to),
is to simply "get something
started and lead the way".
The Sun in this zodiac position
gives your will free rein
to express itself. You could
be doing this in the form
of some leadership role,
or by forcing others to
look at themselves in a
new way. You can accomplish
this by knowingly carrying
out a deliberate act in
the name of some cause that
moves you. A negative effect
of this sun sign is that
you could sometimes unknowingly
make it hard for others
to relate to you, as you
really are.
In your personal relationships
Arians are frank, direct
and candid, and make enthusiastic
and generous friends. You
are liable to have a high
sex drive and make passionate
but fastidious lovers. There
is, however, a negative
side to your associations
with other people. You can
easily be irritated by slowness
or moderation in your companions
and, though yourselves sensitive,
ride roughshod over the
sensitivities of others.
The intensity of your sexual
urges can drive you to promiscuity
and a Don Juan-like counting
of conquests of the opposite
sex. It can also trick you
into early unwise marriage
which may end disastrously.
Arians are highly devoted
to their children, even
to the point of laying down
their own lives, so that
they might live. You will
not find a more defensive
and loving parent in all
the zodiac.
It is preferable to be aware
of your pioneering spirit
and not disregard it. For
in acknowledging it you
not only enjoy life more,
but you avoid being pushed
around by others. Your nature
is usually push or be pushed,
with little middle ground.
This can at times be objectionable
to others, but you must
have the freedom to act,
rather then just thinking
about it, getting pent-up
in the process. At all costs
you need to avoid negative
emotions such as resentment,
regret and self-pity, for
they would deny you what
is essential to your nature:
straightforwardness.
Mentally Arians are intellectual
and objective, but can be
in rare situations bigoted
and extremist in religion
and politics. They are good
champions of lost causes
and last-ditch resistance.
They are quick-witted but
sometimes foolhardy and
over optimistic, lacking
thoroughness and the ability
to evaluate difficulties
in the undertakings into
which they often rush impulsively.
The great need of Aries
natives is to exercise an
iron self-control, to discipline
the qualities and tendencies
of their character to the
advantage, not the detriment,
of the society in which
they move.
As an Arian, you like a
challenge that will stir
you to action. This challenge
may just be frustration;
or at a more controlled
level, you may have clear
direction and know what
or whom you're fighting
for. If your direction is
not clear, then ask yourself
and listen to your inner
voice. You will come up
with an answer. An Arian
without a direction in which
to go, or a without a cause
to fight for, would be against
your nature and make you
more a "sheep"
then a ram!
Arian, do not be afraid
to be forceful, for this
is the very core of your
nature. If you feel fear
in your heart, then look
for a history of negative
events in you personal history,
such as violence or abuse
from others. Being fearful
may also indicate a household
in childhood that negated
independence and personal
initiative in you. This
could have inhibited your
natural urge to go forward
into life as the leader
and champion you were born
to be. Conversely, such
bad influences could also
have led you to be overly
forceful, or to be unsympathetic
to your own need and sensitivity.
You make good athletes and
climbers, doctors, explorers
(of new ideas as well as
uncharted territory, the
latter in these days including
adventuring into outer space),
soldiers, sailors and airmen,
and leaders, though awkward
subordinates, in industry
and politics.
Much as you are the Ram,
there is still the little
lamb in you, which means
that at times you would
attain your goals more easily
by gently giving in without
resistance to the demands
of a given social situation,
rather than getting your
horns entangled in something
larger and more powerful
than yourself. This is a
talent akin to knowing the
difference between what
you can change, and what
you cannot. This of course
takes patience, the acquiring
of which is definitely your
greatest achievement, along
with your sense of your
own inner softness.

Possible
Health Concerns:
|
Aries governs the head and
brain, and Arians are said
to be prone to headaches,
particularly migraines,
sunstroke, neuralgia and
depression. Indigestion
and nervous disorders are
also threats to you, and
your rashness, impetuosity
and wholesale physical commitment
make you liable to accidents
and physical injuries.
You like extremes. Physical,
emotional and mental, and
benefit profoundly by experiencing
them; but if your extremism
goes too far beyond social
acceptability, then expect
to be extremely lonely.

Problems
that may arise for
Aries:
|
As with all sun signs, we
all have unique traits to
our personalities. When
these traits are suppressed,
or unrealized, problems
will arise. However, with
astrology we can examine
the problem and assess the
proper solution based on
the sun sign characteristics.
As an Arian you may see
things below that really
strike home. Try the solution,
you most likely will be
amazed at the results. If
you find yourself on the
receiving end of the negatives
below, it is because you
are failing to express the
positive.
PROBLEM: Projects that
come to nothing. Partnerships
full of conflict and argument.
SOLUTION: See your
role as the "person
with ideas" then, work
on inspiring others to carry
them out. Develop a higher
capacity to "listen"
and not speak.
PROBLEM: Lacking
real coherence and direction.
Failing to contemplate,
only pretending to be decisive.
SOLUTION: What springs
from your actions is only
a reflection of your heart.
Soul search and resolve
some personal issues you
may have buried.
PROBLEM: Being deserted
by others because they cannot
make you notice them and
their feelings in any other
way.
SOLUTION: If you
truly have a point, if you
don't they won't. Examine
your attitude and put yourself
in their shoes.
PROBLEM: Always tripping
over yourself, inviting
conflict and harsh treatment.
Getting deflated.
SOLUTION: Learn the
art of looking before you
leap. Which means first
finding out what it is you
wish to make happen first,
then act.
