Aries

Aries is the first sign of the zodiac, marking the vernal equinox and the beginning of the astrological year. As a cardinal fire sign ruled by Mars, Aries embodies raw initiative, courage, and the primal impulse to assert the self. Aries energy is direct, competitive, and refreshingly honest. At its best, it inspires leadership and blazes new trails. At its most challenging, it can be impulsive, impatient, and combative. Planets in Aries take on a quality of urgency and pioneering spirit.
