Aries -- the start of the spiral
Aries is the first sign of the Zodiac. It follows Pisces in the Zodiacal line-up. As a rule, the range of Aries covers the time from March 20th until April 20th.
It is a time of year that emphasizes initiative and new beginnings. In Astrology, it is associated with courage, enterprise, self-assertion, confidence, and getting things started.


Aries -- a time of venturing forth, showing initiative
In mundane matters, Aries is associated with leadership, pioneering efforts, independence, aggression and making progress.
The Zodiacal symbol for Aries is the Ram. Aries is the Cardinal Fire sign. The Fire Signs in Astrology are active, courageous, and self-involved.


Aries is a Cardinal sign
The Cardinal Signs in Astrology are proactive and initiating. They deal with life's problems by taking action to change circumstances ... and create new conditions. Thus Aries brings an enthusiastic insistence (which a lot of folks call "pushiness") to the lifestyle it creates.
The other Cardinal Signs are Cancer, Capricorn, and Libra. The natural style these signs take in their approach to life can bring challenges to their relationships with Aries.


Aries is a Fire sign
The other Fire signs are Leo and Sagittarius. Common values and similar preferences in habits and ambitions help these signs find an easier, more natural compatibility with Aries.
Traditionally Aries is compatible with Leo and Sagittarius, other Aries, Gemini, and Aquarius. Gemini and Aquarius bring supportive and complementary qualities that can enhance their relationship with Aries.


Summing Up Aries
On the other hand, a match between Aries and Cancer or Aries and Capricorn carries special challenges ... and a relationship between Aries and Astrology Sign Libra will require well-defined "territories" for each partner ... and a constant willingness to compromise on many issues, for these two signs often hold to different values. As you can see, Aries / Libra relationships can be kind of mixed blessing.
Physically, Aries rules the head. The ruling planet of Aries is Mars. Aries is associated with the color red. The starstone (not the birthstone) assigned to Aries is the diamond. Were you Born with The Sun in Aries?
