Aries is the first sign of the zodiac. It coincides with the beginning of Spring when new life emerges.
Aries gives us opportunities for fresh starts and new beginnings. It is the first sign in the cycle and Aries also wants to be first in everything else: first in line, first in competition.
The fire energy of Aries is driven to succeed. It is aggressive energy but in a good way: persistent, not careless like Sagittarius, another fire sign.
Aries is excellent for getting stuff done. We enter Aries as we leave Pisces, which has given us time to relax and reflect, helps us release the things we don't need, and gets us thinking about where we want to go from here. Now you should be ready to get going, Aries helps you get moving in this direction.
