Everything You Need to Know About Aries
Aries is the zodiac’s first sign and marks the start of the astrology year. Its season is spring. It is a youthful sign, so if you’re born under the sign of Aries, you are likely to look younger than your years. If you think of the soul’s journey, Aries is the baby of the zodiac, and they have many childlike qualities, such as their ability to live in the moment and their awe of life in general, giving them a charming allure.
The ram is Aries’s symbol, and just like the ram, Aries will rush in head first. Hence the term headstrong is often used when describing Aries. Interestingly, the ram’s horn is considered the horn of plenty, also known as the cornucopia, equated with abundance. Aries people are enterprising and often create abundance in their life.
With abundant energy that seems boundless, you are the party person who attends every event. Your impulsivity makes you the life of the party, but it can also get you into quite a bit of trouble.
