Honoring Aries Season: A Journey Through Its History
Let's dive into the depths of the golden ram.
As the Sun moves into Aries, we welcome the beginning of the astrological new year—a time of renewal, courage, and bold action.
Aries, the first sign of the zodiac, is ruled by Mars, the planet of drive, passion, and initiation. This season is all about fresh starts, fearless pursuits, and tapping into our inner warrior.
Let's explore the rich history, symbolism, and astrological significance of our astrological leader.
The History of Aries in Astrology
In ancient astrology, Aries was associated with the ram, a symbol of determination and leadership.
This connection comes from the Greek myth of the Golden Ram, whose fleece held immense power and was sought after by Jason and the Argonauts. Aries’ fiery energy reflects the boldness and heroism of this legendary tale, making it a sign of action and adventure.
You may also recall Greek mythology’s mention of the bloodthirsty Ares, who would seemingly get himself into quite a few situations.
Mars, Aries’ ruling planet, gives this sign its unyielding drive.
In Roman mythology, Mars was the son of Jupiter and Juno, and the god of war, embodying the raw, unfiltered energy needed to push forward despite obstacles. This is why Aries energy is direct, independent, and often impatient—it’s designed for movement, not hesitation.
Aries’ Symbolism and Astrological Significance
Aries is associated with the fire element and is a Cardinal sign. It is the initiator, leader and trailblazer of the zodiac—the first spark of life. Being ruled by Mars, Aries is also a sign of passion, aggression and willpower.
While very determined, Aries energy can also be stubborn and proud (the Ram), and have trouble adapting to the changes that may be necessary for a smoother experience.
Aries rules the first house of the zodiac wheel, which is all about identity, Self, the body (this energy specifically rules the head) and new beginnings.
As the first sign of the zodiac, Aries represents pioneering energy. It’s the spark that sets things into motion, making this season an ideal time to take initiative and embrace new challenges.
During Aries season, we may feel an increased desire to take action on goals we’ve been hesitant about, speak our truth boldly and unapologetically, pursue independence and step into leadership, face challenges head-on (even if they feel daunting), and reignite our passion in relationships, work, and creativity.
While Aries energy is exciting and motivating, it can also manifest as impatience, impulsivity, or conflict if not managed wisely.
Balancing the fire of Aries with mindfulness can help us harness this season’s power productively.
