The spring equinox, March 21, is the beginning of the new zodiacal year and Aries, the first sign. They are ambitious, impulsive, enthusiastic and full of energy. They welcome challenges and will not be diverted from their purpose except by their own impatience, which will surface if they do not get quick results. The Aries is a pioneer of both in thought and action, very open to new ideas and a lover of freedom. Aries subjects are courageous leaders with a genuine concern for those they command.
It is rare that Aries will use their subordinates to obtain their own objectives as leaders, but occasionally it does happen. They do not make very good followers because they are too take charge. They may be unwilling to obey or submit to directions for which they can see no reason, or with which they disagree. Aries are much concerned with self, both positively and negatively self reliant but also self centered and concerned with their own personal advancement and physical satisfaction. Their immense energy makes them aggressive and restless, argumentative occasionally, headstrong, quick tempered, easily offended and capable of holding grudges if they feel themselves affronted.
Aries is the first astrological sign in the Zodiac, named for the constellation of Aries, called The Ram in the Greek tradition, after the golden ram that rescued Phrixos, taking him to the land of Colchis.
In tropical astrology, Aries is no longer aligned with the constellation as a result of the precession of the equinoxes. Under the tropical zodiac, the Sun is in Aries roughly from March 21 to April 20, by definition beginning at vernal equinox. Under the sidereal zodiac, it is currently there roughly from April 15 to May 15. The Sun in this zodiac position gives your will free rein to express itself.
