The Aries Zodiac Sign: The Warrior, Pioneer & Champion
Transiting Sun In Aries
Each year, the sun shifts into dramatic Aries around March 20, where it is exalted (embodying its greatest strength). This cosmic shift will mark the beginning of the astrological new year and vernal equinox — the official marker that winter has ended in the northern hemisphere and that summer is over in the southern hemisphere. As the first sign of the zodiac, Aries season is all about initiation, action, and instinct. This bold, fiery, and cardinal energy will encourage you to chase after your dreams and to take control of your environment, even if your ideas aren't well thought out. You'll be stepping into positions of leadership and acting on the spark of fresh ideas with youthful vigor.
Aries is ruled by Mars, the planet of defense, assertiveness, and action. Mars radiates divine yang energy that makes you more action-oriented to contrast the dreamy and intuitive Pisces season. Aries season is perfect for setting intentions on what goals you want to achieve during the upcoming month. However, you'll have more success working in short bursts toward your goals rather than racing towards milestones. Aries energy doesn't have the endurance to sustain you through long-running projects; you're more likely to experience burnout if you do too much, too fast. Use this season to lay out your ideas and rely on your team or support system to flesh them out into solid plans.
Natal Sun In Aries
If you were born from March 20 to April 19, you're an Aries sun! Aries suns are intensely passionate about life; they can see adventures around every corner of life and always have a dominant presence (whether they know it or not) that inspires others. Aries attract competitors in life due to their effortless ability to encourage people to up their game, chase new experiences, and set firm boundaries. They're ambitious and don't like to sit around with their ideas without turning them into anything. Aries is ruled by the fire element, which gives them their burning desires that can't be contained. There's no doubt that they are the most headstrong sign of the zodiac; they know exactly what they want and aren't afraid to say it. While this may come across as blunt, aggressive, or overly forward, an Aries sun would rather speak their mind and get straight to the point instead of beating around the bush.
People born during Aries season are highly expressive with their emotions. Their responsive and heated natures can cause their emotions to get the best of them — this often clouds their logic and perspective. What may appear to be a dramatic outburst is really the manifestation of their pent-up frustrations of not feeling seen or understood. Nevertheless, they have a low tolerance for BS that can cause others to feel like they're a volcano just waiting to erupt.
The best part about the nature of Aries suns is their enthusiasm. There's nobody who will root for you and defend you when you aren't in the room quite like an Aries can. They're the ultimate go-getters, making their season the perfect time to take notes on how you can be a little more self-assertive like they are. Don't hold back from putting yourself in the spotlight, and remember that you have to be your biggest fan first and foremost.
