Aries at a glance

Being the first of the 12 Zodiac signs, it is the most elemental. Aries represent the beginning of all things. With an Aries life will never be boring. Primal in nature, opinionated, representing ego and will. Aries are fiery, prodigious and dynamic. When they find a cause they feel is important they will see it to the end. It spends more time on existing for its own sake than to understand itself. Being very positive, Aries strives for purity and perfection. But, their dreams of today can be replaced by another tomorrow. Guessing what they want is not always easy. They can however spend so much energy encouraging themselves and friends that they risk running out of energy before they even begin. Do not accuse an Aries of something it is not, especially if it hurts their Ego. Aries tends to be spontaneous, frank and open, could be self centered and willful. They know their own value and do not as much seek approval, but rather attention. Self doubt can destroy and Aries. Being an action person, they need to explore their own limits to grow and learn. They are not much for contemplating on life. They love quick action and do not like sitting around ruminating on a situation. Mars being their ruling planet is the planet of change and unpredictability. Often display a strong desire to lead, but without leadership skills could find themselves frustrated and could lead to self pity. Some leadership studies are advised. They can be truly original and idealistic pioneers, but can also fall into the trap of novelty-seeking and unfeeling egotists.

Aries Energy: Yin

The light side: Strong, virtuous and benevolent.

The dark side: Power mad, totally irresponsible and a reckless leader.

Aries-Taurus Cusp

Zodiac Position	Central Concept	Seasons	Elements	Qualities	Ruling Planets	Symbol	Modes
+-27 Aries - 4 Taurus	Power	Mid spring	Fire / Earth	Cardinal / Fixed	Mars / Venus	Ram/Bull	Intuition/Sensation

The fire energy of the Aries combined with the stubborn and energies of the Taurus can only spell one thing. Power. They have very strong and even dominant personalities and can impact those around them with great force, including their environment. Capable of exerting great control over those around them. They can be great leaders if they choose so, but even if not choosing to be a leader. They can reach great heights in any field they choose. With the energy of the Aries driving them and the persistence and stubbornness of the Taurus they can follow and see big projects through that requires a great deal of energy over a long time. They do not submit to others authority easily, and especially not by force. A subtle persuasive tactic is needed to direct their energies. Trying to force them or get them to change direction to fast can result in the opposite results as wished. They can at times show a lack of emotions and may have great difficulty with the impulsive intuitive and practical earthy energies inside them. They may be having great dreams one moment, only to shoot themselves down the next by not seeing the plans happening in a practical way. However, if they can bring these energies together in harmony and see the practical application of their wild and bid ideas, they can reach uncharted heights. They are highly strategic in thought and action and can overcome seemingly overwhelming odds and are guided by an unerring instinct. They tend to be masters of thought and preparation and are normally not in a hurry to see immediate results.

Learn to bring your passionate energies in balance with your practical energies. Learn to wait a little. Even though you are yearning to do things for others, let them do it for themselves unless asked. And let others do things their way even if they make mistakes. Mistakes are how we learn. Bring some feelings to those around you.
