♈ Sun sign · Aries · fire element, cardinal modality
Sun in Aries
Your identity asserts itself through action. You need challenges that let you start things and prove to yourself that you can, and you feel most yourself when you decide quickly. The lesson lies in sustaining what you begin and in listening before charging in. In practice you are the one who proposes the plan, who breaks the ice and who gets angry first. Anything with an outlet, a goal and speed suits you: sport, starting a business, defending causes. What wears you down is waiting, repeating and having to persuade slowly. Over the years you discover that your greatest power is not getting started, but choosing well what you give your fire to.
What the energy of Aries is like
Aries is expressed in a direct, fast and brave way. Its natural tendency is to leap first and think later; its gift, initiative and the courage to begin; and its shadow, impatience and sudden anger. The Sun is identity and life purpose: with the Sun in Aries that identity is built through those qualities.
Moon, Mercury, Venus and Mars in Aries
Moon in Aries. Emotionally you react instantly. You need to feel free and in motion to be at peace, and you express what you feel without detours. Your calm comes when you learn to breathe before answering. In everyday life it shows in that you need to move when something upsets you, you say what you feel on the spot and you get bored if the day has no action in it. Sport, quick decisions and direct people calm you. Waiting and anyone who tells you to calm down wear you down.
Mercury in Aries. You think fast and speak plainly. You like debates and immediate decisions, and challenges light up your mind. Listening to the end is your pending exercise.
Venus in Aries. You love with impulse and enthusiasm. Conquest, frankness and the initial spark attract you. Your challenge is to keep the passion when calm arrives.
Mars in Aries. You act directly, quickly and bravely. Your energy is for starting and conquering. Your challenge is to pace it so as to reach the end.
