Aries The Ram
March 22 – April 19
Aries is the first sign of the Zodiac calendar year. Aries is a fire sign and is symbolized by the head or horns of a ram. The ram symbolism is fitting to characterize this sign as persons born during the period are said to be aggressive, stubborn, and unaffected by others. Aries persons are also said to be assertive, pioneering, and are often impatient and unwilling to cooperate with others. They can either work alone or in a leadership position.

Aries is the first astrological sign in the Zodiac, named for the constellation of Aries, called "The Ram" in the Greek tradition, after the golden ram which rescued Phrixos, taking him to the land of Colchis.
The sign is beautifully depicted in this Onyx Aries Pendant, part of an exclusive collection of Zodiac Sign Amulets in Onyx Jewelry.
In tropical astrology, this sign is no longer aligned with the constellation as a result of the precession of the equinoxes. Under the tropical zodiac, the Sun is in Aries roughly from March 21 to April 19, by definition beginning at vernal equinox. Under the sidereal zodiac, it is currently there roughly from April 15 to May 15.
Individuals born when the Sun was in this sign are considered "Aries individuals" or "Arians". In Western astrology, Aries is considered a "masculine", positive (extrovert) sign. It is also considered a fire sign, and is one of four cardinal signs. Aries is ruled by the planet Mars. Being the first sign in the zodiac, Aries is associated with the astrological first house. Furthermore, Aries is known as the pioneer of the Zodiac, and therefore, Ariens like to be first.
