Aries
Aries is the first sign of the zodiac, and everything about it carries the charge of a start: initiative, courage, the willingness to move before the path is certain. Cardinal in mode and ruled by Mars, it is less interested in maintaining than in igniting — the impulse that breaks inertia and sets something in motion.
Its shadow is the same force unchecked: impatience, a temper quick to flare, a tendency to charge past nuance and leave the finishing to others. At its best, Aries is the honest directness people lean on when something finally has to begin.
