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 2011 to 2012 Pluto took up permanent residency in the sign of Capricorn in November 2008 and will stay until 2024. This is a square to your Aries Sun. 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 people need to explore what life has to offer. That is why they go out of their way to look for the unbeaten path, so they can meet new people and have new experiences. Sensitive Neptune, is sextiling your Aries Sun from the sign of Aquarius, bringing out your creative side. Neptune entered Aquarius in the spring of 1998 and will stay until 2012. Opportunities just keep knocking at your door. Decisions! Decisions! Uranus, the planet of surprises, entered the sign of Aries on March 12, 2011 and will stay until May 2018. Uranus is about independence and complete personal freedom. Once you get acquainted, Uranus will become your new best friend for the next 7 years. Uranus is the planet of shocks, surprises and heads the department of "One Never Knows - For Sure". Under the influence of this transit you do the unexpected and become somewhat unpredictable. You feel inspired to express yourself - unencumbered - completely open and honestly. Life will not be dull for the next few years - it will be exciting - every day will hold a new adventure - and you will feel more alive than you have for a long time. Uranus conjunct your Aries Sun will awaken the little genie inside you and you'll have some scathingly brilliant ideas - when you embark upon a new project or when you need to solve a problem. Practical Saturn entered the sign of Libra in July 2010. Saturn in Libra will oppose your Aries Sun until October 2012. Saturn puts up road blocks and speed limits. Mars ruled Aries forges full speed ahead. You had best be looking for the brake pedal, as you are heading straight into a road block. Saturn opposing your Sun brings low vitality and a period of adversity. This is a time for you to take control and focus on what you want to accomplish in the future. This transit often breaks the bonds of restrictions. This is a period of endings, which will be followed by new beginnings. A Saturn transit teaches us to handle limitations, organize what's important and build a solid foundation for the future. Saturn takes about 28 years to travel the big circle. Saturn was conjunct your Sun 14 years ago, and at that time you set out to show the world what you could do. What you have done since then, will now become the structure of a new cycle. Optimistic Jupiter moved in with your Aries Sun in January 2011. First and foremost, Aries is about getting the job done quickly. Jupiter is about vision, seeing the big picture. This transit sets things in motion, so that you can get the results - exactly how you pictured. A Jupiter transit comes but once every 12 years - so take advantage while you can. This feel good - lucky streak will only last until June 2011, when Jupiter enters the sign of Taurus. Jupiter will stay in the sign of Taurus until June 2012. Taurus is about security - emotional and materialistic. Your Aries Sun doesn't dwell on security, you would rather have the experience to remember. However, during this transit you will have to learn to deal with the practical side of life. In Summary; the next couple of years will test your stamina as never before. Pluto in Capricorn square your Sun - Saturn in Libra opposing your Sun and Uranus/Jupiter conjunct your Aries Sun. This is a T-Square, a major configuration that brings conflict, tension and stress on the one hand and challenges you to find creative solutions on the other hand. Hang on tight - stormy weather ahead -- but -- (there is always a but) -- you want to be there when the sun comes out to play.
