Aries Season Book Recommendations (March 20th – April 19th): The Adventurer & the Warrior
Keywords & Aries in a Nutshell (including a bit of technical stuff)
Aries, the baby of the zodiac, emerges from the oceanic womb of Pisces without a backward glance. Fiery, aggressive, impulsive, bold, courageous, brash…These are just a few of the qualities, both positive and negative, of the zodiac’s warrior. Like Sagittarius, a fellow fire sign, Aries folks tend to be adventurous, although the Sagittarian approach tends to have a more philosophical bent. When I think of the Aries adventurous streak I picture the American Wild West vs. the Sagittarian adventurer as the nomadic expat living overseas or traveling around the world, experiencing different cultures and ways of being.
In both traditional and modern psychological astrology, Aries is a fire sign (inspired and passionate), a cardinal sign (associated with beginnings), and it is ruled by Mars (or Ares), the Greco-Roman god of war. Remember, not all warriors are male or masculine-identifying. Many are queer and many are women…Think of the lore about the Amazons, fierce women warriors who rejected the brutal patriarchy of ancient Greek society. (In honor of the Amazons, I’ve chosen to capture the essence of the Aries archetype with two contemporary pop culture references, Xena, Warrior Princess and Wonder Woman).
Fun fact: The actress who played Xena, Lucy Lawless, is herself a triple Aries meaning she was born with an Aries Sun, an Aries Moon, and Aries rising. Talk about a triple threat! I am generally not a fan of type casting, but in this case it’s almost too perfect to be true.
While quick or hot-tempered, Aries doesn’t get into fights over nothing. At its best, the Aries archetype is embodied by the impassioned social justice warrior. That said, Aries folks can be dangerously reckless and impulsive. They may shoot first and think later. When it comes to warfare, the Aries type will be found on the battlefield. They usually aren’t long-term strategists and while they may win the battle, they also may lose the war. Let this be a cautionary tale. 🙂
