Characteristics of Aries Zodiac Sign, Zodiac Sign Aries, Zodiac Sign of Fire Aries!
ARIES - THE RAM - HEAD SIGN OF THE FIRE TRIPLICITY
March 21 - April 19th
This is the head sign of the Grand Man, or Microcosm. It is a cardinal, masculine, equinoctial, and movable sign, the positive pole of the Fire Triplicity, governing the head and face, the higher attributes being intuition and reason.
The Sun enters the sign each year on or about the 21st of March, and departs from it on or about the 19th of April. The Sun on entering the sign should be given six days before coming into full touch and action with the influence of the sign.
A person born between the dates of the 21st and 27th of March would not receive the full results of the sign's individuality, as he would be born when the Sun was on the edge of the sign. This is known as the Cusp, and its nature and impulses partake of the sign the Sun has just passed through and out from, and the nature will also partake of the attributes of the sign of the Zodiac in which the Moon is located at the time of birth.
Aries is called the sign of sacrifice. People born under Aries are usually very executive, earnest, and determined. They accomplish what they resolve to do against all opposition.
They are leaders, and naturally dominate those about them. They are noble, generous, magnetic, progressive, and have occult power and metaphysical tastes. They are good scholars, are bright, genial, witty, and great talkers.
They can always lead the conversation into new and interesting paths, and are never at a loss to provide entertainment. The genius of this sign is intuition, and silent electro-magnetic power by means of the hands.
These people are large and true, but are apt to be children of caprice, which has a sad effect upon their destiny. They reach their highest attainment through knowledge and the regenerative love-action of the heart.
They love beauty, order, harmony, and elegant surroundings. They should not be circumscribed when giving out their true work of genius. If these people are born when the Sun is well centered in Aries, they may attain the rhythmic swing of their regenerative centers, and there arises an electromagnetic solar fluid which is so powerful that it can be cast to a great distance; in fact, there is only one other sign so strong in this direction, and that is Aquarius.
It is almost impossible to hide anything from an Aries individual who has recognized his or her power of intuition, and for this reason those born under this sign develop quickly the gifts of the spirit. They are often excellent psychoanalysts, mind readers, and spiritual comforters.
They understand without words the especial trouble that is weighing upon the heart of a friend, and are frequently able to explain its cause and banish its effects. Their wills are so dominant, their sympathies so quick and kindly, and their clairvoyant power so marked, that they rarely ever fail in their work of ministering to the sorrowful.
Sometimes their great regard for their friends will apparently blind them to their friends' faults, but it is doubtful if those born under this sign are ever really unaware of such weaknesses. It is a rare exception, however, when they will admit them to others, although they are not usually reticent in speaking of the failings and eccentricities of those to whom they feel no necessity of loyalty.
The Aries male will never back out of a fight. Although he will not foolishly seek one, if compelled he will go in to win, and is always much disappointed if his side is beaten.
The Aries woman is not far behind her brother. Her friends, her favorites, are all in all, and the person who places them at a disadvantage will be dealt with in language that cannot easily be misconstrued.
The traits of Aries people often seem to contradict each other. They are not born patient, but with those they love they are sometimes patient to stupidity. They will give of their money to those who are too lazy to work for themselves, and will accept excuses and explanations with apparent credulity, although they are seldom deceived.
The executive ability of those born under this sign is so marked that they occasionally come to grief from an overestimate of it. They become inflated with success, and this develops a recklessness, which leads to loss and disaster, and often to nervous prostration.
The tendency with most of the Aries teachers, speakers, and writers is to give up everything to their work, and so sacrifice health and usefulness, and spoil their beautiful inspirational powers. Many fine descriptive writers, novelists, and poets are found in this sign, and many excellent teachers.
The Aries person is usually spare, strong, tall, quick, and sharp of sight, of oval face and swarthy complexion, with large shoulders.
There are really two distinct personalities born under the sign Aries; those who are short, and those who are tall and broad-shouldered. The former are much under the influence of the Moon and the planet Mars at the time of birth, and partake somewhat of the characteristics of the signs these two planets were in.
These persons are quite changeable, quick tempered, cannot bear to be contradicted, and resent being told of their faults. If they are not permitted to do their work in their own way they get into confusion, and very likely lose all interest in the subject. Their stubbornness is the result of the intensity of their natures, and more of an appearance than a reality. These persons are usually very fortunate in business and in making money.
The Aries people who are tall and broad-shouldered are more silent, with a deep spiritual nature, and great occult power if they choose to develop it. They are very generous, and distinguished for their good works, but are not so fortunate in worldly affairs as those above alluded to.
COMPANIONS
They will find their best companionship and the most genial friends with those born under Sagittarius, and next with those in their own sign.
FAULTS
The dominant faults of persons born in this sign are selfishness, anger, and impetuosity. They are also whimsical, capricious, and fickle to the last degree. They do not easily forgive their enemies, although they are rarely tempted to seek revenge for their wrongs.
They will die fighting for a friend or a principle, but they will not yield a point until obliged to.
These people do not like details. They are fond of planning, and are usually possessed of good taste and judgment.
Women born in Aries are impatient of long seams, or the finishing-off or filling-in process. They see how a thing looks at the start, and expect somebody else to do the work.
The tendency of these people is to stifle their inspirations through externality and selfishness—inordinate selfishness, of which they are often entirely unconscious, and a propensity to talk of themselves, which earns for them oftentimes the reputation of egotists.
The female destroys her best talents through jealousy, and the male through anger and quick temper. They are noted for what would be called lost opportunities.
DISEASES
The diseases most likely to attack the people born under Aries are headache, affections of the eyes, stomach troubles, and paralysis.
All these ailments and every other known to man can be entirely dominated, forever cast out, by those who realize that mind is the master and body the servant of mind.
MODE OF GROWTH
As Aries people are usually very sure that their conclusions and criticisms are unassailable, they should keep a strict count of the times when facts prove them to be wrong. They will find themselves frequently mistaken. They should put a bridle on their tongues, and learn to join in a conversation in a temperate manner, and not to assume the whole responsibility of it.
They should learn to avoid repetition, and to understand that a strong statement once made is always weakened by a second one. They should practice silence, and spend some time each day alone. Any process that will restrain the action of the tongue and the determination to govern everybody and everything will be found wholesome and legitimate.
Their natural impetuosity often leads them into serious blunders, and these complications are entirely unnecessary, because, if those born under this sign will be led by their own uninfluenced, unmeddled-with intuitions, they will see and do right. They should come to their conclusions when alone, and learn to place a proper value on the genius of their sign.
These people need no stimulants, and they should eat plain, nourishing food with regularity. They should not surrender themselves, body and soul, to their friends and their pursuits, but learn to listen, wait, and expect the higher revelations of life and truth, which are theirs to command.
GOVERNMENT OF CHILDREN
The children born under this sign should not be driven, teased even in any emergencies. They are sometimes called "the children of the four horns," on account of their invincible determination to win. The Ram is fearless and busy; the Bull is fearless and dominant.
These natives are very apt to think that they know it all, and constantly inflict their advice upon their families and friends. The capabilities of this cusp are so great, and the magnetic qualities so powerful, that resistance to their rule is a very difficult matter.
It is the nature of this especial domain to load friends and neighbors with benefits—things to eat and things to wear. What they like, everybody else should like, and as they are fond of the best things, and, as a rule, have good taste, their beneficiaries are in luck.
The impulse of this sign is toward the highest heights, but if the natives decide to touch the bottom of sensuality and dissipation, they will do so. They are the most powerful of metaphysical healers and very fond of children. The impulse of sex is strong, and they are apt to make unhappy marriages.
The ancients gave the cusp children liberty to select their own colors and jewels from the two signs, and considered them related to the planets of both. Any other cusp information can easily be gleaned by the study of the two signs.
