Aries dominant hoomans are ruled by the fiery and impetuous planet Mars. The smallest planet with the biggest attitude; which it has to have because of how close it floats to the hottest gasball in our solar system - the Sun; who always seems to steal the show no matter what cool or incredible things Mars does.
Aries is traditionally considered the first sign of the zodiac; representing beginnings, rebirth, infancy, springtime, life after death, divine inspiration, innovation, energetic-ness, clean slates, raw power, naivete, child like innosence, basic instincts, self focus, the fool tarot card, the number 1, and so on.
Arian dominant hoomans are nearly always deeply involved in business of some kind, and usually as the person who inspires the creation of various ventures and helps to get them started. Depending on their other placements will determine whether or not they stick around in their ventures after that. They are also usually very impulsive and focused first and foremost on finding every funnest and most stimulating way to reaffirm their individuality.
As their ruling planet and their namesake suggests, they are rarely ever back down from a fight, and are often the instigators and encouragers of any show of strength. They are often very competitive, even if they don't recognize it, and absolutely love winning, being first, besting themselves, and shutting down any challengers. If this is hard to picture, just watch the behaviors (and especially mating rituals) of Ram's & Big Horned Sheep. Much like these magestic animals, people with heavy Mars placements love to fight. Not only to feed their ego's, but also as an important learning process that helps them explore the world and learn to recognize friend from foe and when to run when the fight cannot be won with the tools they have.
There is so much to love about Aries individuals, and yet most of the webpages that talk about them, only talk about the very surface level. In this post, I'd like to try something different. Instead of just offering another parroted description about Aries dominant hoomans, I'd like to offer 3 things I just love about them, which I feel pretty qualified to offer in a strong way, as much of this lifetime has been in close quarters with these fierce folks, including my partner of over 12 years, my adoptive father, many of my favorite spiritual leaders, some of the best business operators I've worked with or networked with, a handful of fairly close friends, and learning to discipline my own Aries moon sign.
These 3 favorite things are offered towards hoomans (and those who love them) who have the sign of Aries in their Sun, Moon andor Rising placements, who have first house stellium's, or whom have more unique Aries placements or aspects that end up boosting that martian energy across their natal chart.
3 Things to LOVE About Aries Dominant Hoomans:
1. They Get Into EVERYTHING
Hoomans ruled by the driven energy of Mars and the birth of the zodiac wheel, are often constantly creating & instigating new adventures. They've always got at least a dozen irons in the fire, and every back burner lit up & keeping warm some backup ideas. All of this busyness makes them fascinating individuals, especially when you get them to open up and tell you about their deeper motivations for starting andor ditching each of their creations and ventures. There's never enough time to learn about everything they've started, been a part of, and accidently fallen into (which happens a lot). Plus, asking them to tell you their harrowing tails is a treat for most Aries dominant individuals, as they are often used to people thinking they are arrogant or impetuous rather than genius kickstarters.2. Time's a Wastin!
Even if I didn't have my own moon in the sign of Aries, Capricorn is my dominant sign & I DEEPLY appreciate those in my life who don't waste time; many of whom are Aries dominant in their birth charts.Not that those ruled by Aries can't ever be lazy. Quiet to the contrary. Aries people can be some of the laziest! Especially in their unevolved years. Though even then, this laziness is often short lived or only apparent when their heart just isn't connected with the project they're working. A trait that often plagues most children of mars; by mid adulthood, they often have very diverse resumes and a very poor record for sticking through things for very long.
Not that I have any judgement about this, as I personally see it simply as a different set of strengths. Some of us are better at sticking through dependably, but horrible at getting things started or revitalizing them. Others are great at closing things down and readying them for rebirth. Others are better at initiating and getting things started and then getting out of the way for those who are better at carrying already started ventures.
Each role is important, especially Aries.
And when Arian dominant folks are aligned with their inner drive, they very rarely waste time and are constantly on the move, traveling between each venture and project, tending them all like a farmer tends his crops. Taking care of sowing, seeding, weeding, tending, harvesting, rotating, and planning for future seasons. Among those primarily arian individuals I know of, I love knowing that I can almost always count on them to only show up when they intend to work and put their all into the project, and help me power through whatever is ahead. This is a valuable trait I appreciate as a friend, co-worker and employer.
