A cardinal fire sign of positive polarity ruled by Mars. Key Phrase: 'I am'
The Sun in Aries heralds new beginnings, and starts new cycles. This is your first clue that spring is in the air. Aries is represented by the ram, who forges full steam ahead with the winds of courage at his back. Arians are friendly in a very forthright, direct manner. They greet you with a firm handclasp and an instant smile. You will rarely get to be group activity leader when there is an Aries in the group. The sun becomes very competitive in Aries. Energetic, enthusiastic and enterprising, Aires are never satisfied to watch, they need to be physically involved, at the beginning, preferably.
Forecast 2008 to 2009
Pluto is moving out of Sagittarius in 2008 and will bring some subtle changes into your life when it permanently enters the sign of Capricorn by the end of the year. From the sign of Sagittarius Pluto trined your Sun in Aries, giving expression to your fire energy and you dared to do it all. You have been travelling in the fast lane since 1995 and you were able to use the power of Pluto to your advantage. All that will change as Pluto makes its' way through the sign of Capricorn. Pluto will square your Aries Sun. This irritating process will take about 16 years. A square is about conflict arising from different points of view. This aspect will take you to places filled with obstacles. Aries loves a challenge. Aries need to explore what life has to offer. Aries look for the unbeaten path to meet new people and have new experiences.
Uranus, the planet of surprises, entered the sign of Pisces in 2003, right next door to you. Uranus will stay in Pisces until 2010. So, how are you getting along with your neighbors. You should be well acquainted by now -- or -- not! Either way, you have noticed the constant changes in the world around you. Your radar should be on full alert and you should be prepared for all eventualities.
Sensitive Neptune, is sextiling your Aries Sun from the sign of Aquarius. Neptune entered Aquarius in the spring of 1998 and will stay until 2012. Opportunities just keep knocking at your door. Decisions! Decisions!
Constructive Saturn entered the sign of Virgo in September 2007. You had best be looking for the brake pedal, there is a traffic jam ahead. Virgo is about logic and caution. Virgos meticulously plan ahead. This presents a problem for an independent, free thinking enterprising Aries. Aries is about action, Aries motto is: 'JUST DO IT'. Aries rarely stops to ask questions or directions. Well, it is time to get the map out and read it. Saturn puts up road blocks and speed limits. Pay attention and your efforts will be reward.
Optimistic Jupiter entered Capricorn in December 2007 and will be joined by powerful Pluto in January 2008. Capricorn is about achieving your goals. Aries is about being there first. Jupiter is about vision, seeing the big picture. Aries is ruled by Mars, which is about getting the job done. This could be a match made in cosmic heaven - IF and ONLY IF - you manage to keep your Aries impulsiveness under control. IF you allow yourself to get carried away with your enthusiasm, you may go overboard and overextend yourself. This aspect is about control and knowing when to stop and change direction to avoid the potholes.
Summary: Use your imagination to create your dream. Use your intuition to avoid the road blocks. Make a list, check it twice - OK - at least read it once. Test drive every opportunity wearing a hard hat and seat belt. The better you know your limitations, the more you will achieve success. Don't bite off more than you can chew.
