Aries Horoscope

Aries Horoscope

Aries is the first Sign of the Zodiac. Member of the Cardinal Quality, Masculine, and Fire element. Symbolized by the ram's horns, it is managed by the aggressive planet Mars. The Sun enters the Sign Aries around the 21st of March, the date that marks the beginning of spring in the northern hemisphere, and leaves around the 20th of April.

In Greek mythology, the symbology most appropriate to the archetypal meaning of Aries is the story of the Golden Fleece and the Argonauts Expedition. The myth recounts the adventures of the fearless hero Frixo, which clearly defines the combative spirit and determination of the native Aries. Frixo and Hele, sons of King Atamas, were treated badly by their stepmother, who conspired to assassinate them.

To help the brothers, the gods sent a ram with special gifts and whose body was covered with golden wool (also called fleece). The brothers climbed onto its back, and the animal soared through the air. Hele, the sister, fell asleep and fell into the sea. Frixo continued the journey and reached the kingdom of Colchis.

The ram was sacrificed in honor of Zeus and its golden skin was offered to King Eethus. Mythology associates the ram with audacity and courage, as well as the protective powers of its legendary golden fleece.
