Aries

The ruler of Aries is the planet Mars, which symbolises energy, health, fighting spirit and leadership skills. People born under this sign are courageous and decisive in most situations in life. They do any work with enthusiasm and confidence in their abilities, but they often lack deliberation and patience.

Aries are friendly and merry people who have a strong sense for fair play. They are good colleagues, because they have many good ideas that they do not manage to realize themselves, but their enthusiasm helps engage others in realising their ideas together with them. If they are in a managerial position they are fair bosses but it is hard for them to accept lazy and clumsy work partners. They solve mutual problems quickly, sharply and uncompromisingly. These people cannot stand if somebody tells them what to do or gives them orders and they want to keep their freedom and independence at any cost. Their courage is incredible, but it stems from confidence they gained by their performance.

They have great enthusiasm and desire to always try new things, and they are creative and intelligent enough to handle even the most difficult tasks. These people can do any jobs that require a quick and sharp decision-making and a great responsibility. They are open and straightforward when they deal with people, but they can also be diplomatic and tactful. Their sense of humour helps them to be successful in their social circles. They use their extra energy to play sport and they especially like risky and physically demanding types of sport activities. They are physically very talented and courageous and that is the reason why such a high percentage of top athletes were born under this zodiac sign. Planet Mars makes them into people who can impose their will, fight for their opinion and stand up for themselves. If they fail, they can get irritated and angry, but their emotions do not last long, because in their essence they are not bad people and it will waste their time. Their occasional impatience is their stumbling block. They should therefore choose friends who they know well and who they trust, so that they will accept their advice and who will slow down and rectify their hastiness. Despite these shortcomings they are people with integrity who like to keep their promises.


Aries, the first sign of the zodiac, is primal, innocent fire. It represents universal fire, which means the ability to become a passionate, fiery vehicle for universal rhythm and truths. Out of all of the fire signs, Aries is the most probable sign to say or do something shocking and then genuinely apologize for it later, not realizing they were out of line. This is because the Aries’ personality represents a fire that is the most raw and hot. This intense flame is needed for Aries to spearhead projects, as it takes huge amounts of energy to inspire others and champion new ideas. Aries must learn to channel this energy properly, which means slowing down and not acting impulsively.

Aries, as the babies of the zodiac, tend to have an innocent way about them. They see everything as a possibility, which is the motivating force that allows them to become visionaries and hold space for the impossible, while often not caring or realizing how crazy their plans seem to others. It is a good thing they bring the energy of Mars forward to knight them with their warrior-like courage so they can actually pursue their ideas.

As universal fire, when Aries are balanced, their ideas will be a reflection of universal shifts and of healthy changes that need to happen in order to keep our karmic cycles flowing. As Aries energy burns hot and fast it can be a challenge to stay on course and see their ideas through, therefore, discipline is the defining attribute for Aries-dominant folk. It is important for Aries to mature into the ability to actually ground all of their good ideas.
