Oh boy… oh crikey… oh crumbs… oh waow : )
As the author is an Aries Sun, you must permit me to first perform a little fanfare. The Sun is in exaltation in Aries, and of course we are known for our ego. It definitely gives me great pleasure to describe the energy of the vernal equinox and of the first zodiac sign, the wild and wooly child of Mars.
As we know, the stars and planets themselves move in cycles. One of the great realisations you will come to through working with astrology is that, truly, beginnings and ends are only in our heads. Energy expresses itself in these cycles in far deeper and more subtler ways than we can easily conceive of. For they are born of how our ancestors moved in synch with the earth and its seasons, and with the many other realms of beings that coexist among us.
The Vernal equinox is, in the Northern hemisphere, the tipping point of Spring. Here, the last prunings of Winter and the murkier moments of Pisces season are settled away into our bellies. The flowers and new babies are popping up everywhere. Ducklings, lambs, baby chickens, green leaves on trees are shooting forth, peeping and bleating in symphony. There is all kinds of joy and abundance, and the whole world is in a hurry! For it is time to get frolicking, fornicating and planting- while the sun is bright and the days are perfect for doing so. The world is new born, like a fresh little baby. And the air is loud with the celebration of birth, and the music of its cries.
The Aries Sun is born with springtime celebration in its veins. This sign does not like to stay down in the dumps and will haphazardly charge at a situation because it feels morbid and uncomfortable to think too much about it. As this is the energy of cardinal fire, not much can stop this energy once it ignites- but like springtime itself, the energy can burn out by itself all too soon. The Aries Sun will need quite a few stabilising placements in order to not spend life as an eternal initiator who never really settles down to one enduring career or relationship. Even the famous Arian temper will quickly burn out and be replaced with a childlike innocence. Aries is often stunned when another Sun sign holds onto a resentment that Aries has processed far more quickly due to their healthy relationship with their own rage.
This is someone who, above all else, wants to go fast. Not only is this zodiac sign full of bright new energy and greedy to explore all the pleasures of life, but there is a memory in Aries’ bones of the death-time of Pisces. This soul begins a new cycle with the consciousness of the old one still on board and the full awareness that time is short and that life is a magnificent smorgasbord of incredible experiences. There is no time to linger, because that time wasted can be spent having a different variety of thrill that would otherwise be missed… and Aries would hate to miss out on all the fun. If you’re being tailgated in traffic, I would bet the person doing that would have strong Aries placements in their chart.
Physically, this type tends to be muscular, with a loud voice and strong forehead. Aries will often have a forehead scar, due to their headstrong behaviour (I myself have one, from climbing on furniture as a toddler). They are prone to accidents, especially involving fire and heat, due to their own impatience. The women are usually attractive, but with a certain masculine quality to them- it could be the boxing mitts and baseball bat rolling around in their vehicle, or it could be in the way they yell when excited. Either way, Aries is usually tremendously healthy and hard to knock down. The head of the ram is like steel plating and will barely register a tremor after smashing the most tremendous obstacle.
When the Sun is in Aries, it is a fabulous time to initiate and celebrate a new beginning. Now, as an Aries Sun I can offer you my wisdom in saying that although the new beginning itself might not be successful, the fact that you tried will in itself engender some positive change in your circumstances. Anything has got to be better than being stuck with the grim and the cobwebs of last year’s winter all over us still… The time to begin a new story is now!
As Aries is ruled by the God of war, sex and passion, we may be feeling the urge to charge after a new love interest in particular. Of course, spring is the breeding season as well as anything else. Do know that if you are going to be hasty, that is better than never having made a go at it. The gods always reward courage, even if it seems like that reward might be long in coming. Tune into your intuition, because this is an extremely intuitive sign as well! You will know what to do!
