Discussing Aries - First in the Zodiac
Written by Michael Vass
Aires is the first sign of the zodiac, so it’s fitting that it is the first post of this blog.
The Aries sign is represented by a Ram and covers March 21st to April 19th. The Ram is a heroic character in Greek mythology and those bore under the sign are said to hold traits of this heroism.
The traits of the Ram include a pioneering sprit, courage and a blunt and direct manner. That includes the tendency to start multiple projects, but not finish them, a need to avoid monotony, selfishness and a large ego.
An Aires is often quick-tempered as well as quick-witted. Aries make great leaders, and passionate in what they believe. The spontaneity of an Aires is noted for being both a benefit and hindrance to those born under this sign.
