Aries
Aries is one of the three fire signs. This page gathers everything SignWheel has written about Aries so far.
A longer portrait of the sign is still being written. Rather than pad this page, here are the finished pieces: the Sun, Moon and rising readings for Aries, exactly as they appear inside a chart result, and a doorway to every planet in Aries.
Sun in Aries
Your core character and where your energy comes from.
With the Sun in Aries, you may find you feel most alive when you are starting something new. Aries is the first sign of the zodiac, the wheel astrologers use to map the sky, and it is linked with beginnings and direct action. You tend to recharge by moving, deciding, and seeing a quick result. Waiting around often drains you more than hard work does. Many people with this placement learn by doing first and reflecting later, and they often feel steadier when they have a clear goal to aim at.
Moon in Aries
Your feelings and what settles you.
With the Moon in Aries, your feelings often move fast and want action. The Moon in a chart is linked with comfort and mood, and in Aries you may settle best by doing something physical or tackling the problem straight away. Sitting with frustration for too long can make it grow. A short walk, a quick task finished, or saying plainly what you need tends to help you feel settled again. You often feel safest when life feels direct and honest around you.
Rising in Aries
The face you show first, before people know you.
With Aries rising, you often come across as direct, lively, and ready to go. Rising, also called the Ascendant, is the sign that was coming up on the horizon when you were born, and it shapes the first impression you make. People may notice your energy and honesty before they see your softer side. You tend to walk in, speak up, and get things moving. Even when you feel unsure inside, others often read confidence, and you may find strangers assume you are happy to lead.
