Aries! About
Your Sign...
Aries
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.
