Aries Symbols

ARIES (March 21 – April 19)

Aries is the first of the Zodiac Symbols. It is a fire sign and those born under this sign are deemed to be active, outgoing and generally adventurous.  The ruling planet is Mars and the sign is associated with a Ram. In Greek mythology, in order to escape Ino, the ram carried Phrixux and Helle to the city of Colchis. Upon reaching the Colchis, Phrixux offered the ram as a sacrifice and hung its fleece in Ares. The fleece turned to gold, and it was the same fleece that Jason and the Argonauts sought.

The constellation Aries is known in Egyptian, Babylonian and Greek cultures.  The Ram is associated with force, power, energy, drive, protection, vulnerability, and fearlessness.
An Aries is generous, independent, enthusiastic, optimistic, courageous, honest and highly energetic. Despite all these seemingly extroverted characteristics, an Aries-born person is quite naïve. He is too trusting for his own good. He would be one of the first ones to be lured into a Ponzi scheme or be the first one to donate to a bogus charitable institution.

Aries are hard workers, mostly “doers” rather than “talkers.” They are creative and powerful thinkers and possess a pioneering spirit. They thrive on adventure and see the world as their Shangri-La.  However, Aries-born persons tend to be short of patience as they want everything done quickly and painlessly. They tend to have mood swings and are often impulsive, selfish, short-tempered, aggressive, forceful and combative. The moment they become intolerant, they will leave everything undone, no matter the consequences.
