Modality - Cardinal. First Sign of Spring Element -
Fire
Aries is the first sign of the Zodiac, and this fact is very significant,
especially to Aries natives, who love to be first in everything. Highly
competitive and with a strong ability in leadership, Aries are very energetic
and active individuals. This sign represents the first impulse, the first "big
bang" if you will that set creation in motion. When Aries has been defeated, or
is down and out, there is no other sign better at picking himself up, dusting
off, and beginning anew, because this is the sign of new beginnings!
As a Cardinal
Fire sign, they are the Fire of Fire. Ruled by Mars, the god of War, they can
also tend to be fond of arguing or fighting in general, having a bellicose fire
in the belly so to speak. However, this energy can just as easily be put towards
competition in the marketplace of employment as in the battlefield. Loyal and
pure of heart, they usually lack the cunning to be deceptive, having a great
deal of innate innocence in reality.
The biggest
obstacle to the success of most Aries is their impulsiveness and tendency to
leap before they look. Their spontaneous manner does not always help them in
their dealings with others, who may find them a little too outspoken and biting
in their speech. They must also learn to cultivate patience! Fun-loving and
athletic, they often make very good sportsmen and friends, mellowing somewhat
with age. More sensitive types have trouble being around the dynamic, fiery
nature of Aries for too long a period of time.
In
romance, Aries are very passionate lovers with an inborn zest for good sex. They
are romantic and love to be spoiled by their mate, cherishing even the smallest
kindness greatly, and very often repaying it with great loyalty. Although they
do not normally have tremendous stamina, they prefer sex that is not too drawn
out or complicated. Their attention span can be somewhat short, they are also
too impatient to endure a prolonged session of foreplay unless other factors in
the chart indicate otherwise (moon in Scorpio for
example).
