Aries Takes Charge With Fire & Boldness

If you’ve ever really considered the process of being born, action is necessary. It’s a very encompassing experience that involves a lot of grit, sweat, tears, and effort. It also resonates with the cardinal change energy associated with Aries. It is the point where a human being makes the decision to leave the comfort and warmth of the womb to enter into this physical experience. This takes a lot of courage and bravery not only for the baby but also for the person giving birth. There is newness in being born that while risky is well worth the opportunity to be here in this physical realm.

Frustrated & Needing To Take Action

One of the main characteristics of Aries energy is its desire to take action. If you’ve ever been in the company of someone with lots of Aries or Mars placements, it’s as if they’re just teaming with this desire to do something… anything! In some ways, when this energy isn’t being actively used it can come off as frustration because there’s no outlet for all of that active, forward-moving Martian energy. Of all the zodiac signs, Aries definitely needs regular physical activity as this allows them to release pent-up energy.

Taking Charge With Boldness

Aries teaches us the importance of taking charge. So many of us miss out on the opportunity to get to where we want to be and align ourselves with what we desire because we aren’t willing to own our ability to move forward. Whether this be out of fear or uncertainty, Aries is not afraid to put themselves out there and make their mark. After all, new beginnings just don’t happen on their own. Aries understands that if a change is desired, they have to be the ones to initiate it.

Assertive Or Aggressive

Because Aries is just naturally oriented to take action, this requires them to step up to challenges that would intimidate others. Aries just doesn’t have that fear that keeps them from moving forward. As the first sign of the zodiac, Aries doesn’t know anything other than what they want. Aries wants what they want right now. From assertiveness to aggression, Aries is ready to risk it all to get ahead. In many ways, Aries’ first position frees them from the baggage of the past allowing them to embrace forward movement far easier than others.

Risking It All

One of the main reasons why Aries is able to take action fearlessly is that they are not afraid to take risks. Just consider the energy of spring which is associated with the Arie. In order to experience warmer temperatures and the new blooms of spring, there is a need to move beyond the comfort zone. While others are busy ruminating on whether they should move forward plagued with doubts or needing the confirmation of external sources, Aries decides to be its own self-starter. Aries just has to be careful about taking risks that could lead to trouble due to a desire to leap into the unknown without consideration. As Aries matures, they gain an understanding of the benefit of calculated risks that benefit them as opposed to risks that lead to frustrating false starts.

Competing To Win

Aries is motivated by competition, and the desire to be number one. Whether it’s getting the best grades in school, winning a gold medal, or becoming the CEO of their own company, when Aries sets out to do something they are gunning for the top spot. This can make Aries appear quite assertive and even aggressive to others due to their direct approach. Remember, Aries’ planetary ruler Mars is associated with wars and battles, so Aries is not intimidated by the competition. If anything, it just motivates Aries to go stronger and do better.

Full Speed Ahead!

Aries energy encourages all of us to consider what gets us going. What are we motivated by? Do we have any ambitions? How do we plan on getting ahead? What keeps us from taking action? The pure expression of Aries energy is always full speed ahead. Even if they don’t know where they’re going, Aries has this pioneering spirit that makes things happen. If there’s anything that Aries can teach us it’s the importance of owning our lives. We are born, and where we end up depends on the actions that we take.

We are encouraged to embrace the clean slate and newness that allows Aries to move forward without ruminating on the what if’s and the possibility of defeat. Losing is not an option for Aries, and this zodiac sign encourages itself and everyone else to get out there and make a move. After all, we can’t be pioneers if we aren’t willing to take the risk and move full speed ahead.

It’s officially Aries season where it’s all about feeling the warmth of a new season and embracing the new. Let’s make the most of new beginnings by integrating the positive expression of Aries’ forward-moving, self-starting, take-charge energy.
