ARIES: THE RAM.

MARCH 21 to APRIL 19.

CUSP: MARCH 21 to MARCH 27.

The constellation "Aries"--the first sign of the zodiac, and the head sign
of the Fire Triplicity--exerts its influence from March 21 to April 19,
the period coinciding with the first month of the Roman year. It is a
cardinal, equinoctial, movable, masculine sign, the positive pole of the
Fire Triplicity, governing the face and head. The most typical attributes
of its subjects are unfailing courage, intuition, and reason.

A person born during the period of the cusp, when the sun is on the edge
of the sign, does not receive the full benefits of the individuality of
either sign, but partakes of the characteristics of both.

Persons born under this sign are positive, obedient, yet with a faculty
for commanding, paradoxical as this may appear. They are also inventive,
original, determined, and executive. Once the mind of an Aries subject is
made up, nothing can swerve him from the course he has determined to
pursue. Before undertaking any new enterprise, his habit is to study the
entire situation carefully, thereby discovering and profiting by many
seemingly minor, yet in the end important, points which would probably
have escaped the ordinary individual.

Aries people are good conversationalists, having keen intellects. Many
fine writers, poets, lecturers, and teachers come out of this sign.

They are aggressive and excitable, oftentimes going to extremes in their
excitement, and they are apt to show too much antagonism. They enter a
fight to win, and nothing can induce them to back out of it. The Aries
woman has the same fighting spirit, and stands by her friends to the end,
no matter what the circumstances may be.

The subjects of Aries are easily angered, but the fire is quickly
quenched, leaving behind no sting or grudge. They are generous,
sympathetic, and kindly, and so much do they think of their friends that
they will never acknowledge a comrade's faults. On the other hand, they
never fail to see the failings of their enemies and to speak of them in no
uncertain terms.

The traits of Aries people are perhaps more varied and peculiar than those
of any other of the twelve signs. They are not naturally patient, yet they
are extremely so with those they love.

The Aries man is usually well-built, strong, and tall.
