Every person is a unique composite of all the signs of the Zodiac. The art of Astrology is oriented towards emphasizing the strength and purpose of each sign within any individual birth chart. Therefore, the following descriptions are purely introductory interpretations of each sign. In other words, although a person’s Sun Sign is very significant, due to other factors considered on the basis of interpreting the ‘whole’ chart, which includes planets, aspects, and signs on the angles, a person born with the Sun sign of Aries, for example, can be strongly influenced by any one or more of the remaining eleven signs and in fact this is generally the case. If you know someone whose attitudes and behaviour seem to reveal another sign other than their actual Sun Sign rest assured that the Sign or its ruling planet are prominent in their Natal Chart. After the list of keywords below is a more detailed overview - scroll down.

The Zodiac glyph is the Ram, which is symbolic of daring, bold and pioneering leadership and can alternately be interpreted as a fountain of lava spewing upward from a volcano. Energetic and enthusiastic about new directions, People born with their Sun sign as Aries are at their best when taking an active lead in exploring new territory, whether literally or figuratively and championing meaningful causes. Fiercely independent, Aries persons are often unfettered by what others think of them. Often assertive with chiselled good looks, high fashion is generally less important than an appearance that matches the style of their mood. On the other hand, Aries are known to be trendsetters and can certainly be avante garde. Aries has energy that acts spontaneously without asking and can be dominant and forceful to the extent of being considered self-centered and even abrasive. Follow-through and completion of projects are other common issues. Positively, people with a strong emphasis of Aries in their Astrological signature are very original, alert and present and make excellent leaders and guides. Aries can also make exciting and fun loving companions, ready and willing to embark upon an adventure without delay. The basic challenges to overcome include self centeredness and reckless abandon. Aries is about initiative, action, pioneering leadership, authenticity and bold determination. Researchers, guides, military, police force, firemen, geologists, geographers, scientists and entrepreneurs are common occupations.
