+ Fundamentally, Aries' function is to be the initiator, the one who gets things started. In the northern hemisphere (where the myths surrounding astrology arose), the Sun enters Aries at the Spring equinox. Nature is coming to life after its winter slumbers, and manifests great energy as new growth pushes up out of the earth.
+ So Aries' function in life is to get things moving. The contributions all the other signs have to offer depend on someone providing the initial impulse. Aries is a fire sign, and fire has to do with inspiration and imagination. Your aim is to bring these qualities into life and act on them.
+ Now this may raise issues of compatibility with people whose horoscopes have different emphases. You may meet opposition from people (maybe with an earth sign like Taurus or Virgo emphasised in their birth charts) who are frustrated, telling you that it is all very well to be fired with imagination and act on new ideas, but what counts is whether anything lasting results. Well, yes, they may have a point. Perhaps you get some project off the ground, lots of people become dependent on the continuation of that project, but then it collapses as it is not being sustained. Here is a challenge to you to be true to yourself. If you get bored easily with a project once it has been started, maybe you need to make sure there are others around who are good at sustaining and managing the practical necessities of your idea. Then anyone dependent on it will not be let down. If you have no inclination to work with practical details, then maybe you could accept that as a personal quality you don't have and leave it to others, while you act on your next inspired idea! However, although you have an Aries emphasis, there may have been a lot of planets in earth signs (maybe Mercury in Taurus for instance) when you were born, and this would indicate some more practical inclinations you may want to pursue.
+ Consider the sign immediately opposite, Libra. Represented by a pair of scales, Libra is concerned with balance, harmony, co-operation. These are qualities you may need to learn in order to be effective, but not at the expense of your overall aims in life. You have, underlying everything, a strong personal will to move in life and fulfil your aims. Co-operation may be needed, but never allow others to sit on you or hold you down, otherwise you will be frustrated and unable to make the contribution to life you were born to make. This could be difficult if the Moon was in Libra when you were born, because this would indicate that your instinctive desire is to live in perfect peace and harmony with others - if you are at loggerheads with someone, then you feel insecure. This is a side of your nature which needs to be honoured, and it may take a lot of negotiation, especially with one you love with whom compatibility is so strongly desired, to have the peaceful co-existence you need at the same time as pursuing your own interests.
+ The above is just a brief sketch of the sort of qualities Aries should be aiming for. If you are experiencing difficulties on the way, the rest of your birth chart will indicate where these difficulties are, and a consultation would very likely provide clues as to how to deal with them. All aspects of our nature, as represented by the planets in signs and houses of our charts, need to be honoured and respected.
+ Aries subjects are courageous leaders with a genuine concern for those they command, being responsible people, it is rare that they will use their subordinates to obtain their own objectives as leaders, but occasionally it does happen. They do not make very good followers because they are too "take charge". They may be unwilling to obey or submit to directions for which they can see no reason, or with which they disagree. They are much concerned with self, both positively and negatively - self-reliant but also self centered (sometimes) and concerned with their own personal advancement and physical satisfaction. Their immense energy makes them aggressive and restless, argumentative occasionally, headstrong, quick tempered, easily offended and capable of holding grudges if they feel themselves affronted.
+ As the first sign in the zodiac, you, as an Arian (as you are referred to), is to simply "get something started and lead the way". The Sun in this zodiac position gives your will free rein to express itself. You could be doing this in the form of some leadership role, or by forcing others to look at themselves in a new way. You can accomplish this by knowingly carrying out a deliberate act in the name of some cause that moves you. A negative effect of this sun sign is that you could sometimes unknowingly make it hard for others to relate to you, as you really are.
+ n your personal relationships Arians are frank, direct and candid, and make enthusiastic and generous friends. You are liable to have a high sex drive and make passionate but fastidious lovers. There is, however, a negative side to your associations with other people. You can easily be irritated by slowness or moderation in your companions and, though yourselves sensitive, ride roughshod over the sensitivities of others. The intensity of your sexual urges can drive you to promiscuity and a Don Juan-like counting of conquests of the opposite sex. It can also trick you into early unwise marriage which may end disastrously. Arians are highly devoted to their children, even to the point of laying down their own lives, so that they might live. You will not find a more defensive and loving parent in all the zodiac.
+ Your starstone is the precious Diamond. The diamond is considered the greatest of stones, revered throughout the ages for its great beauty, and strength, and also for its powerful positive spiritual and physical influences. The diamond is said to enhance the wearer with charm and beauty. Physically it strengthens the kidneys and reproductive organs and gives protection in severe disease. The ancient Romans believed that the diamond, when worn on the left arm, next to the skin, would give the wearer bravery and daring. During the Middle Ages Queen Elizabeth I was given a diamond to ward off the plague.
