March 21st – April 19th

I am a big believer in the “yin-yang” dualism concept. Every person (every sign) has their good & bad parts and those things together make up who we are. It’s important that we recognize that we have two sides, so we best know how to control our behaviors and reactions.
It’s important to know…
All zodiac signs’ qualities differ depending on their placement. While the Sun sign is the center of who we are and the most important quality, looking into an individual’s “supporting cast”, such as the Moon, Venus…etc. help us to understand a person better.
While an Aries Sun is what actually makes a person an Aries, other Aries placements will have the same qualities, but with a small twist.
For example: An Aries Sun means the Aries qualities listed below would be the essence of who you are. Your personality. But having an Aries Moon means you would demonstrate these qualities in your emotional responses. Or having an Aries Venus would mean that the Aries qualities below would be your love style.
Do you have an Aries in your life?

Aries Overview
Aries is a masculine, cardinal, fire sign.
Masculine duality means they are naturally direct and energetic.
Fire element (triplicity) means they are courageous, strong, bold, passionate, energetic and adventurous.
Cardinal quality (quadruplicity) means they are natural born leaders, who like to take action.
So as you can see, an Aries is a tough nut. Quite possibly the strongest of the zodiac, so it’s really not surprising they show up first on the wheel.
