Sign of Aries

In Aries the zodiac is unfold, and everything begins to be. In March, in the Persian month of Farvardin, the zodiac begins to rotate, with the incisive breath of what is just beginning; At this point, nothing is yet known of what in the next quadrants shall be found; not even from the lazy bull ruminating his ground one has news; from the young woman picking the combs from the wheat, the scorpion hiding, from the jovial person overthrowing the aquarium in the sea; from the sea goat in taciturn climbing of mountains. None of this can be seen: here, the world is a ram bouncing forward: horns up, if needed.

And each ours beginning, each arising from force that comes from within: whether of love, of decision, of dream - each and every becoming has of this sign the consubstantiated matter. Without it nothing begins - the non-inertia - and the earth would be as stationary as - says Plotinus - a stopped circle is not even a circle, but a point.

It's regent is the most despised by Hesiod, who, in this case being right, hated violence - in Theogony we see Hades (Pluto) next to Persephone in the description of Tartarus; an acclaimed passage is the birth of Aphrodite (Venus); about Zeus (Jupiter) there are innumerable mentions: but to Him, who was entrusted with the domicile of the very first of the zodiac signals is made mere, almost forgotten epithet, near the end of the poem. However, we must here equip ourselves with sociological paraphernalia and try to understand the types which, in the time of the quiet Boeotian farmer, insisted on worshiping and considering themselves zealous of this God. Tush! The better understanding of it is a cloth for metaphysics, Mars, yet so praised by many of the most vulgar Romanoids, has in the sky's analysis another diverse characteristic, with which few who have followed him warlike would like to influence themselves: naivety.

The Arian is undoubtedly the most naive of the whole zodiac. Its launching forth is by its most intimate right to be: the Martian came into the world to shine. We all have come: and the point of every horoscope touched by Mars is that point which blows us the core of the extrovert impulse of blazing without looking back or forth. This is why, in the eyes of others, the influence of the red planet seems so naive: he does not look at what lies ahead, he does not calculate, he simply goes and does; From the outside, he looks like a child; - and the inside is all bright.

In this behaviour of acting without thinking, and by not seeing what is ahead there are risks to the Arian, after all, its propulsive energy is so intense that any obstacle to its manifestation will quickly result in impatience; If the energy of Jupiter, variegated, when contained, results in anxiety, that of Mars, in its incisive bias soon transforms itself into irritation: give it a stage, for the Arian, for he is one who longs to debut.

It's exaltation - his deck in which he will make his whole show - is in Capricorn: from what it is understood that such energy is better directed when to concrete, realistic, dedicated achievements. Mars takes about two years to travel the high skies, and rarely does it become - the inexplicable! - retrograde - when all our impulses become more individually creative.

Let us always be - let us have the confidence to be - bouncing sheeps, for a better age, for a greater feast.
