The
Sun in Aries: tends to make the entire
character lean towards action and initiative. When the Con Edison utility company put its
first woman to work on a street crew years ago, the TV cameras were there to cover it.
They showed the woman operating a jackhammer and then they interviewed her. On her
coveralls was a large button saying simply "ARIES". When the reporter commented
on it, the woman said: "Yeah, I like to be first".
The Moon in
Aries: can be much more
emotional than the Sun in Aries. The temper inclines to be short, but,
as is typical with Aries, it doesn't last long. Tomorrow, they will be
fighting about something else. It is said that you can't persuade
anyone with an Aries Moon that they are wrong because, by the time you抳e
gotten your arguments together, they抳e already acted on whatever it
was and gone on to something new. The women in the life tend to be Aries
types, active and aggressive.
Mercury in
Aries: activates the mind.
Mercury here doesn't just study or investigate subjects. It attacks
them. If the Sun happens to be in a slower, more methodical sign. like
Taurus, the mind could be said to run ahead of the person, darting from
conclusion to conclusion before the body manages to catch up.
Venus in
Aries: activates the
expression of affection. Liz Taylor has this placement (and her Venus
sits close to Uranus, planet of sudden, unexpected change; what a
surprise). So did Marilyn Monroe and Jean Harlow. Julian Armistead once
gave a lecture on Liz Taylor's horoscope. He pointed out that Venus in
Aries people need constant excitement in relationships. When things
finally slow down and get comfortable, they start looking elsewhere.
Mars in
Aries: You might say that Mars is at home here
since it is the "ruler" of this sign. And Mars in Aries does tend to give extra
energy as well as a constant need for activity. Mars shows the type of action we take, our
style of action. In Aries, it is impulsive, tending to charge right in. People with this
placement have to learn about "staying power" and sticking with something until
it is finished.
Jupiter in
Aries: Jupiter is where we feel safe and
secure, optimistic and lucky. In Aries, that means we feel good when we take initiative,
lucky when we charge right in. Jupiter also shows something about our religious and
philosophical beliefs, our ability to get the "big picture" rather than those
little details. In Aries, that means we have to grasp them fast. If it takes too long, we
get bored and move on.
Saturn in
Aries: Saturn shows where we
feel UN-safe and IN-secure. Its sign position shows what we absolutely
must have to feel security and safety. In Aries, that means initiative.
The worst thing you can say to a Saturn in Aries person is " Sit
there and wait; I'll take care of it". They will climb the walls.
Waiting on line is another thing that they absolutely cannot stand. Does
anybody like to wait on line? Not really, but hey, it happens. So get
over it, right? Not for a Saturn in Aries person. To feel safe and
secure, they must have the initiative. Saturn in Aries is prone to
headaches and problems with the teeth, especially the upper teeth.
Uranus in
Aries: Uranus is a planet of independence,
innovation, and genius. It is very comfortable here in the sign of new beginnings. Be
careful of something else, however, that can come from all of this haste. Accidents.
Unless something else in the horoscope can moderate this placement, excessive haste can be
a problem. This is a superior position, though, for coming up with inventions and ideas
that can be innovative to the point of being shocking.
Neptune in
Aries: increases the activity of the
imagination. Neptune stays in a sign for about 14 years and therefore affects a whole
generation at a time. Some astrologers tend to minimize the sign position of the outer
three planets because of this. I disagree. Sign position is ALWAYS important. Neptune in
Aries causes the imagination to be excitable, sometimes excessively. Not bad if Neptune
has some moderating influences.
Pluto in
Aries: Pluto is where we can
go to extremes. Aries is where we take action. If you think that this
makes for self-involved people who are prone to take extreme action, you
are right. Those born in the 1830's and 1840's had this placement.
When they grew up, they became a very optimistic, can-do generation.
