Aries

All About Aries
Leader of the Zodiac


It's no coincidence that aggressive Aries is the first sign of the Zodiac. While these passionate people are known for getting things done, they're also highly adept at putting themselves first. Indeed, the ram's motto could be "looking out for number one," with themselves auspiciously filling that top spot. On the other hand, unlike some of their equally ambitious astrological counterparts (Scorpio, Gemini and Capricorn come to mind), you'll always know where you stand with these straight-shooters. So what really motivates The Ram? Let's have a look and see:
The SurfaceUnderstanding an Aries is fairly uncomplicated -- you can almost always take them at their word. Rams know what they want and aren't shy about going after it. This can make them difficult to deal with for the weak-hearted, easily offended or shy. It also means they have a tendency to bowl lesser-inclined people over on their way to the top. Even quieter Aries (who may not seem so aggressive) are active, courageous, fiercely independent and most often, driven by their goals.
On that note, it's no surprise that Aries natives are some of the most physical people around. Beyond the impressive physique this often leads to, being so physically grounded in their bodies reflects their grounding in the present moment. The now is vital to most people of this Sun Sign and as a result, they rarely think about consequences. Planning holds little importance to the Ram … which is why, even when they get what they want, things sometimes go awry afterward.
The DepthsNaturally competitive Aries may like to win at all costs, but they don't enjoy that win unless it's a challenge. Translation? The Ram will only respect a formidable competitor who puts up a fight. Far from cutthroat in this sense, these seemingly driven souls are also vibrant and even a little bit childlike, since they're playful in their desire to engage. Similarly, they have the need to always be on the go and have a hard time sitting still. Hence, if you get an Aries to settle down, you know they see you as someone special. Life will always be an unpredictable adventure with this sign and while it can be tough to keep up, you'll never wonder how you're doing, because Aries will let you know with words and moreover, actions.

Guide to Astrology: Sign Quality
Before I get into the sign qualities, I need to add one more component. There are 3 signs in each quadrant or quarter of the zodiacal wheel. Just as there are 3 signs or months in each season. This means a beginning, a middle and an ending month. In the study of Western astrology, each month carries with it a particular energy, which will be defined by the sign in each placement within that quadrant or quarter of the wheel.
In what is called a Natural Chart, Aries is located in the first house, Taurus in the second house, etc. So we refer to each of the signs that show up in a natural chart at the beginning of each quadrant (quarter) as Cardinal Signs. Each of the signs that show up in the middle of each quadrant (quarter) are referred to as Fixed Signs. Each of the signs that show up in the last month of each quadrant (quarter) are called Mutable Signs. Because there are 3 primary energetic positions within each quadrant (quarter), we refer to this as a Triplicity.
In a natural chart Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn are in the Cardinal placement. So we consider them to be Cardinal Signs, wherever they are placed. (Which will be determined by birth time.)
In a natural chart Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius are in the Fixed placement. So we consider them to be Fixed signs, no matter where these signs are found on the wheel.(Which will be determined by birth time.)
In a natural chart Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, Pisces end each quadrant (quarter). So we refer to them as Mutable signs, no matter where these signs show up. (Which is determined by birth time.)
The Cardinal signs begin each season and indicate Action.
The Fixed signs indicate Stability.The Mutable signs indicate Change.
Note: Imagine a distinct energy coming into fruition with each Cardinal sign which begins each season, then the energy stabilizes and becomes Fixed within the 2nd month period. Finally during the last month of the season this energy diminishes and gradually the new energy of the next season builds. This process takes place within the Mutable 3rd month of each season.
What we see here energetically is each season beginning with a different element.
Spring begins with Aries – fiery, impulsive, life begins, action.
The next month (the middle of the season) belongs to TAURUS – stable, earthy, practical, fixed.
The last month of the quadrant is Gemini – adaptable, mindful, changing, mutable.
Summer begins the second quadrant (quarter), with the energy of Cancer – nurturing, sensitive to environment, active growth.
The next month of the summer season (the middle) is Leo – the Sun, fiery hot, stable and fixed strength, life’s expressions.
The final month of this quadrant (quarter)is represented by Virgo – the harvest, clearing, cleansing, adapting, healing.
This completes the lower hemisphere of the astrological wheel which is focused primarily on the Self. The upper hemisphere begins with Libra. It is no coincidence that Libra initiates the next six signs because Libra is all about relationships which defines the upper hemisphere of the wheel.
It may help to hard copy it and assemble these pages as a guide for future reference. I will continue on to the upper hemisphere beginning with Libra in the following post.
Does anyone have questions? Is anything not clear?


Compatibility by Sun Sign
Who's your perfect match?

So, you've got your eye on a certain Cancer, but you've heard Cancers and Leos don't get along... Or you're thinking heavily about having a relationship with a Taurus, but rumor has it a Gemini is meant to be your perfect mate. Whatever your compatibility question is, look no further. It's all in the stars!If you're looking for love - or you've already got it, astrology can provide some helpful, informative information. Our compatibility analysis can clue you into all sorts of possibilities!AriesThe stubborn ram loves to lead, but hates to follow. So it makes sense that those born under this sign like to have control. This is both a blessing and a curse. On the upside, being involved with (or being) an initiator and motivator, can keep a relationship moving. On the downside, the universe doesn't always give us our way, and all of us need to know how to go with the flow. Aries, however, doesn't flow, the Ram charges, and hence troubles are born. That said, Aries straightforward nature allows mates to know where they stand. And the assertiveness translates to the bedroom, which can certainly work to your advantage (if you know how to handle it)! For anyone who has loved a duplicitous Gemini or people pleasing Libra, but found them frustrating or aggressive, Aries may be the way to go.Best matches: Gemini, Leo, Sagittarius, AquariusWorst matches: Cancer, CapricornOpposite: Libra
