The signo of Aires

Aries is the first zodiac sign because when the zodiac signs and their reference periods were codified, more than 2000 years ago (from about 2100 BC to 100 BC), the Sun rose in the constellation of Aries. Today the sun rises in the constellation of Pisces, but the sign of Aries in any case marks the beginning of spring: it is therefore a cardinal sign that represents the beginning of a new cycle, strength, vitality and optimism. of a new rebirth. 

Fire sign, ruled by Mars, god of war and the arts of struggle and male planet that instills strength, but also a certain aggressiveness to those born under this sign who therefore stand out for being strong warriors, overwhelming, passionate, stubborn and optimistic . An Aries will never forgive treachery, considering it the biggest sin and considering sincerity as one of their first values. Excellent leaders, always ready to take the initiative and accept challenges with great energy, leading with skill and enthusiasm; however, they sometimes tend to impose their own ideas and to be focused on their own needs, thus resulting in others rather self-centered. 

They fully live the present, have little memory of the past and care little about the future. Their strong initiatory energy allows them to seize opportunities from every day and they are always ready to throw themselves into something new; they may then find it difficult to complete the many things started.

Aries is connected to the Warrior archetype: a planet in Aries will tend to manifest itself with great strength, determination, aggression, firmness and tenacity. generally those of red color, linked to the strength and colors of the fire that refer to its dominant planet.
