Aries in Astrology: Planets, Rising Sign, Transits
Aries is the first sign of the zodiac, ruled by Mars, a cardinal fire sign covering approximately March 21 to April 19. It corresponds to the natural first house, symbolizing beginnings, initiative, and the self. In a birth chart, Aries shows how we assert ourselves, take action, and start new cycles. A strong Aries placement, such as a stellium Aries, can indicate a person with abundant energy, courage, and a pioneering spirit. According to Vronsky, those with Sun in the first decanate (0°–10°) have strong will, fearlessness, and organizational talent, though the character may be stubborn and aggressive. Astrology here is a tool for self-understanding, not a verdict—tendencies can be worked with gently.
