Aries Season Glamour Guide
This season is all about being unapologetically bold, daring and wildly confident.
Happy new astrological year, babes! If you didn't know, Aries is the first sign of the zodiac and it corresponds to the Spring Equinox as well as the beginning of the season of Spring! Fun fact, ancient Babylon marked the beginning of the Spring as the new year and to be honest, I much prefer celebrating a new year in alignment with the start of Spring than in the dead of winter, but maybe that's just me! Anyway, Aries is a cardinal fire sign that is ruled by Mars which makes it initiatory, bold, assertive, dominant, passionate and even a bit impulsive.
As the first and therefore 'youngest' sign of the zodiac, there is a child-like wonder, curiosity and naivety to Aries that is quite charming. It's the type of exuberant energy you get when you get the first spark of an idea, before you've let reality take hold and let it infiltrate your ambition with doubts or fears which is why Aries energy is very, “act now, think later.”
My mom is a quadruple Aries so I grew up with the blueprint of this energy and observed it in action every single day by way of her being the most generous, ambitious, multi-tasking busy body ever.
Aries' stereotype is one of recklessness and self-involvement but when balanced and aligned, like a good leader should be, there is no sign more selfless and willing to help you shoulder your burdens. As with all warriors there is a distinct capacity for self-sacrifice. It's just a matter of self-sacrificing for a worthy cause and not getting carried away by impulses or getting distracted or discouraged by the inevitable bumps in the road.
In the tarot, Aries corresponds to The Emperor card. Being the first sign of the zodiac, Aries is first and foremost a leader, but with all of these themes of ambition and pursuit, Aries must remember to stay grounded and not get ahead of themselves and forget their purpose. The Emperor is a king and anyone in a position of power and influence needs to be methodical and pragmatic which can be a challenge for impatient Aries. What is important to remember here is vision and knowing that anything worth working for cannot be rushed and must happen in its own time.
