21st of March - 20th April, depending on the year it may vary)
Ruling Planets: Mars
Aries is a masculine, cardinal Yang Fire sign. The three Fire signs are Aries Leo and Sagittarius. The ruling Planet of Aries is Mars. Some astrologers assign Pluto as the secondary night ruler to Aries. The main physical correspondences of Aries are the head, blood and iron, muscles. It symbolises the beginning of spring, spring time itself.
You hear typical Aries people say things like, act like or think like:
“I do what I want.”/”I’m going for it.”/”Just do it.”
“I want to be independent/”I want to be free.”/”I want to be the first in…”/”Do your thing.”
“I want to start something now/”Let’s go!”/”Go for it!”/”Do something about it now.”/”Let’s not waste time.”/”Come on!”
“I need to assert myself in…”/”Assert yourself more!”/”Fight for what you want!”
Zodiac Sign Aries/Native’s Sun is in Aries
What are the basic Aries traits?
Most Aries people are natural born leaders, and even fighters. Why? Because freedom and independence are important traits that Aries people strive for. The goal of Aries, the ram, is to assert itself. The keyword for Aries is inception. The time in which Aries is born is the spring time when the whole nature is emerging from the ground up. The energy of the Aries nature is expressed when spring begins. People with the Sun in Aries have a purposeful approach to life, a thirst for life and new beginnings. You hear these people more than others saying “let’s go” or “just do it”. They are suited to be pioneers and leaders in many fields and walks of life. Of course all of this energy can at times be destructive, so it is no surprise that there are also hotheads and fanatics among them when unfulfilled. Aries-born people can also be fierce, impatient or hasty. Their self-confidence is often strong, but people with the Sun in Aries can also lose patience when resistance is strong. Waiting and taking things in a very slow approach is a big no-no for them. These people want everything immediately, to achieve success quickly, they often have too little patience because they see their goals and go for it immediately.
Aries is ruled by the Planet Mars. Mars gives drive, energy, bravery, self-confidence, but also, in the negative case, ruthlessness, brutality, imperiousness and vindictiveness. However, Aries-born people are practically never resentful. If they offended someone, perhaps without even noticing it, they can apologise and reconcile after such a conflict. Aries is characterised by a rather choleric, quick-tempered temperament. Passion is an important basic trait. Undertakings which they have a strong passion for must be tackled and conquered. Although it may appear at times as if they are reckless warriors, one cannot mistaken that they do have a sense for art and finer things; they can be very creative because they quickly find an approach. Their artistic idea must prevail in their minds. They are good at finding new ideas and solutions to occurring issues. An Aries person is usually a good entrepreneur who enjoys organising, especially new enterprises. Getting something off the ground at short notice is something Aries specialises in. Aries people can recover from setbacks and are resilient. Starting something from scratch is not a problem for these people. A restless energy surrounds them. Something has to be initiated at all times.
An Aries is not very anxious, reserved or thrifty, but rather a productive person who wants to make an acquisition. The saying “time is money” is particularly true for Aries-born people. A lost business, a loss in general, or in extreme cases even a lost war, only spurs the Aries-born person on even more to get up again, to pull themselves together. It spurs these people on to start all over again, with vigor and fire to strive once more for the goal. We often find Aries-born people in professions where qualities like leading, determining and commanding are prerequisites and job performance characteristics. For this reason, many Aries-born people hold positions such as police officers, soldiers, officers, but also managers and executives in the private sector, or even doctors, where quick and competent intervention is required. Of course, we also find many professional athletes among the Aries-born people, especially professional sprinters or runners where a quick, explosive start is necessary.
One could accuse Aries-born people of being selfish but if the individual born under this Zodiac Sign lives a healthy egoism, it manifests itself through new ideas that one realises in order to reach a set goal. Sometimes accused of being reckless, these people often pursue their ideas relentlessly. Deference is definitely a trait that Aries people should learn. A tendency to be a loner at times, hardness and inadequacy may be evident in the negative expression of Aries, or the person may lack compassion or sympathy for other individuals because Aries natives can be very hard on themselves and are aware of the duties and necessities of life and therefore expect these qualities of people around them.
People with the Sun in Aries want to transfer their ideas to their environment. The ambition of Aries is to be at the top, at the forefront. They have a strong sense of leadership. Many pioneers were born under the Zodiac Sign Aries. Ambition and drive are natural to them. This drive to go, to do, to reach can greatly inspire other people, as Aries natives can have a very positive motivating effect on others. They surely can push others just as much as much as they can push themselves.
What are physical traits of Aries or Aries Rising?
Usually the Rising Sign (or Ascendant) and 1st House is the primary indication of the physical appearance and body. Some astrological schools include the 2nd House and 3rd House as well, the whole first quadrant, to describe the whole physical body of the person.
The facial expression and the physical shape of people with an Aries ascendant is characterised by a rough, slender body. The facial features, but also the physical posture, are energetic and have something aggressive and commanding about them. The eyes are usually dark rather than light, with a lively expression. A sharp, commanding, often hard gaze is also a striking feature. Bushy eyebrows and strong hair is also an association of Aries. A sharp vertical wrinkle can be seen on the forehead. The mouth of people with the Aries ascendant or Aries-born has a strong but sensual expression and shape. The nose, chin and lower jaw are strongly shaped. The neck is usually long and thin. A dominant expression and posture are typical traits. The posture is generally directed towards the front. The body is often well proportioned and these people have a strong overall bone structure.
