Sun in Aries

Detail from Roman's new book, The Signs: The Ancient Knowledge ► Purchase at Amazon

Expression

Aries tends to be the trailblazer, with very assertive energy, like that of a warrior, very independent and direct. The impulse, energy, and enthusiasm come from the heart. There is a drive for freedom and independence and a tendency to act alone.

As with the mythical warrior, it is important for Aries to protect and act from the freedom and courage of their heart. To preserve that freedom, Aries needs to avoid being entangled in the emotions or needs of others. Otherwise, they risk being pulled out of their independence. When this happens, they may become reactive, inappropriately impulsive, or lose their enthusiasm, and their reactions may be interpreted as overly self-concerned, rash, or inconsiderate. Under these conditions, Aries is more accident-prone and invites resistance and challenge from others..

To regain independence, Aries needs to refocus on taking care of their own heart and acting through their enthusiasm. When that is shared, actions are more appreciated and may inspire others.

Depiction

The astrological Sign Aries is depicted as a ram, moving headfirst with its right leg extended forward and using its right hind leg to propel itself. The front left leg protects its heart.

In real life, when rams butt, both their front legs are over their heart, and the whole focus is on the charge of the forehead.

Aries is associated with the brow, head, and the courage of the heart, the military, surgery, iron, and sports.

Aries is associated with the strengthened ridge across the eyebrows, and this is symbolized by the top of the glyph for Aries. The bottom of the glyph extends to the heart.
