Aries is the first sign of the Zodiac which is a masculine, movable
and fiery in nature. Aries is dominated by its ruling planet Mars. It begins at
the Spring Equinox, the point when the Earth enters into a period of longer
days and shorter nights. Aries is a powerful symbol of new beginnings, energy,
light, and creativity. People born under the sign of Aries may well turn out to
be great leaders, if they can keep their aggression and tendency to dominate
others in check. Aries must always be undertaking new projects, especially
creative endeavours, to keep their high energy occupied. They are extroverts
and tend toward impulsivity. Their challenge is to properly channel their
energy. Aries personalities are independent. Being the first of the zodiac
signs, they venture out and are go-getters, often leading the way. Their upbeat
and magnetic personality often entices others to follow their lead because
Aries personalities bring excitement into others live.
Parashara describes Aries as follows: “The complexion of Aries is blood-red. It
has a prominent (big) body. It is a quadruped sign and strong during the night.
It denotes courage. It resides in the East, and is related to kings. It wanders
in the grassy lands and around lakes surrounded by vegetable and its
predominant guna is Rajasic. It rises with its back and
it is a fiery sign. Its ruler is “Mangal” (Mars) which represents
strength, and is a male and movable sign. Mesha represents the head of the Kalapurusha.
The
natives born under Aries sign will be the trail blazer and the pathfinder. They
will be great starters of things but soon they fed up with their work and soon
hand it over to someone else to finish while they search for new worlds to
conquer. They love absolutely a challenge that will stir them to a motion. The
monetary rewards will not be as attractive as the inner satisfaction they get
from meeting and overcoming these challenges and leaving your opponents in your
heel dust. That is their role in life and the reason that the Sun is exalted in
the Aries sign as it is here the will is given free rein to express itself.
Aries are born leaders and teachers or preachers. Their teaching ability will
be felt more in the relationships they have with others. For example, they will
make able people to see their own actions in a new way or a different light.
Everyone benefits who has associations with the higher, more evolved type of
Arian natives.
Force will
be a part of their nature but it does not mean that they would not be afraid of
being forceful when circumstances dictate them. If there have been
circumstances in their early life which made them a victim of force then one
may see fear creeping in within them and for this reason if they do not allow
them self to exhibit their true nature it will lead to suppression and inner
turmoil. By suppressing the natural urges, especially when needed them to set
right a wrong to them self or someone else can also lead to guilt and actual,
bodily ailments.
In Indian
astrology which is also known as Vedic astrology, Mars is considered a part of
the earth which stuck off from earth after a heavy collision due to its angry
nature and therefore also known as the son of the earth.
According
to Western Astrology Mars has been named after the Roman God of War who was
said to be daring and totally fearless and therefore the same quality can be
found in the personality of a native born under Aries sign.
He is just
like a child, who does not fear anything or anybody. The ruling planet of Mars
provides an Aries individual with the endless supply of strength, vigour, vivacity
and endurance. Quality of coming straight to the point, rather than
dilly-dallying. The planet is identified with traits like standing up for what
is wrong and fighting for what is right. The native is always one of the
pioneers and the initiators. He is always determined to move ahead in right,
irrespective of how much and how potent are the obstacles in the way. The
ruling planet of Mars makes him completely sure of his abilities and in stills
in him guts, a sense of adventure as well as a strength of purpose. He may, at
times, act without giving much thought to the consequences of the actions
taken. That’s why Mesh is also knows as initiator and warrior.
The planet
also imparts mental strength, liveliness and the resolve to succeed. Such
individuals move ahead in life without fear and full of drive, determination
and fortitude. The courage sometimes makes them blind to the dangers ahead,
which may catch them unawares and throw them off balance. However, the drive to
move ahead and achieve the goal is so strong that such a setback manages to
stop them only temporarily. Then, they again move ahead with the same fierce
determination.
Aries is
the activist par excellence of the Zodiac. It is an energetic sign of Zodiac.
The natives born under Aries sign also show a preference for sports, adventure
and travel. They are quite honest and dependable and show an aptitude for
mechanical skills. On the negative front, Mars may in still in them impatience,
brutality, arrogance, impulsiveness, jealousy and a propensity to indulge in
futile and wasted battle. The planet does not in still a foresight in the
individuals and for that, they have to take outside help.
