TRADITIONAL SYMBOL: The Ram is focused on the goal, blazing new trails, independent and impulsive. It is also symbolic of the first “sprout” of Spring time, working its way up from the depths of Winter, into the Sunlight. New growth and new beginnings are assured.
RULING PLANET: MARS – The warrior/warrioress that is determined to reach their goals. They enjoy having things “their way”. They respect those in power, but prefer to lead rather than follow. Life is an adventure and it must be fun!
Challenge: being self centered rather than centering the self. Temper may be an issue and learning to control emotions a necessity.
Motto: “I Am” ready… let the adventure begin!
Fire Sign: Aries radiates inner enthusiasm and love to be involved in new projects. Although often blurting out “truths” inadvertently before thinking about it, they use charm and wit to win others over and are fun loving by nature! They have the courage and determination for new adventures and love to meet new people and learn about other cultures. They always bring a refreshing “innocence” to any setting and have a playful nature.
Animal Guide: Red Hawk – reminding you to be aware of your surroundings, alerting you to opportunities or dangers. It circles around to get an overview and is a messenger of ancestral wisdom. Red Hawk has excellent vision, detailing the way to achieve one’s dreams. Slow down and fly deliberately!
Medicine Wheel Clan: THUNDERBIRD (Fire)
They radiate inner enthusiasm, and love to be involved in new projects. Following through before “burning out” is their challenge. They sometimes blurt out “truths” inadvertently but their charm and wit will generally warm the heart. Thunderbird got “puffed up” with impotence and is learning to balance EGO with this incredible power and M A G I C.
Sunshine provides inspiration, gives energy and assists in “lighting one’s fire”.
Plant: Dandelion – The root (tincture) is an excellent detoxifier and has been known to lower blood pressure and increase physical endurance.
Direction of Power: EAST – the morning Sun awakens you to NEW beginnings… each day a blank canvas, ready to be painted. Not afraid to try anything. Face the east to receive courage!
Body Part: Head – As you rush into the next adventure, take time to be aware of your surroundings, slowing down as not to fall down. Aries is the “child” of the Zodiac and is protected by Divine Love as an “innocent”. It is important to think before reacting and as a young personality at heart, you will be learning lessons of sharing and caring about others. Mature Aries is a fun person to be around!
Power Colors: Red – is the color to use when you feel like being assertive and self confidant. Golden Yellow – is a direct connection with the Sun, helping to have a feeling of radiant energy and courage. It assists with social skills in a warm loving nature. It also acts as an antidote to the “red” aggressive energy of anger and rage.
