Aries
March 21 – April 19
First sign of the zodiac, and it shows. Aries doesn't wait for permission. There's a reason the season starts with you: spring kicks the door open, and so do you.
About Aries
People born under Aries don't ease into things. The first sign of the zodiac carries a particular restlessness — a need to be first, to start something, to move before the dust settles from whatever came before. Mars rules here, and you feel it. There's heat in how Aries people think, a low tolerance for standing in metaphorical lines. But it's not aggression so much as momentum. When something needs to happen, an Aries is usually already five steps in.
The shadow side is commitment. Starts come easy; middles are where Aries loses interest. The project gets launched, the relationship ignites, and then the follow-through starts to feel like paperwork. Learning to stay is arguably Aries' longest lesson. The ones who figure it out become genuinely unstoppable — all that fire, but with roots.
Origin
Aries was formalized in Babylonian star catalogs around 1000 BCE as "the hired man," a laborer who appears at the start of the agricultural season. The Greeks later attached it to the Golden Ram of myth, whose fleece Jason pursued. Early zodiac systems placed the spring equinox in Aries, making it the starting point of the entire wheel. That's shifted due to precession — technically the equinox is in Pisces now — but the convention of Aries as "first" held and never moved.

Love
You fall fast and you fall loud. The trick isn't finding passion, it's letting someone see you on a slow day, when there's nothing to win.
Career
You're built for starts. New projects, first drafts, cold opens. Hand the maintenance work to someone who enjoys it and go light the next fire.
Health
Your energy runs hot until it doesn't. Headaches and burnout are your body's invoice. Pay it with sleep before it goes to collections.
