One Thing I’ve Noticed Is That I’ve Always Been On A Different “wavelength” Than Everyone Else,

“He loved everything, he was full of joyous love toward everything that he saw. And it seemed to him that was just why he was previously so ill – because he could love nothing and nobody.”

— Siddhartha by Herman Hesse (via thatwhichdoesnotsuffer)

The Signs as Personality Types Part 2

{ This is what personality types I placed under the zodiac signs from my POV. Everyone has their own type, but this is how I see the Signs. If you would like to take a test to figure out yours, here’s the link: https://www.16personalities.com/free-personality-test }

All About Aries: The Ram

Basics

The archetype of Aries is fiery, dominant, and egotistical, an enticingly dangerous mix of traits that compile to create the reckless stereotype surrounding the classic “bad bitch” of the Zodiac.

Factually speaking, Aries is the first astrological sign of the zodiac. The Sun transits through this sign from 21st March and 19th April, meaning any individual born on or between these dates has Aries as their sun sign. The Ram is a cardinal sign, and it is also a part of the fire signs along with Leo and Sagittarius.

Aries’ ruler is Mars, the planet of sexuality, anger, assertion, and impulsiveness. In mythology, Mars is the Roman god of war, whose importance was second only to Jupiter. Those with the influence of Aries exhibit different traits of Mars. Which traits, and how they manifest, depend upon where Aries energy can be found in one’s chart.

In my explanations, I will cover how Sun, Moon, Ascendant, Mercury, Venus, and Mars in Aries influence one’s personality.

Aries Sun

As many already know, the sun sign is a large chunk of one’s personality; how a friend would describe you to others. Sun in Aries is a placement that indicates a very extroverted and daring person.

Although Aquarius is typically seen as the rebellious sign, Aries also thrives off of testing the rules and guidelines of the world around them. Also much like Aquarius, Aries is fiercely independent and individual. Aries Sun natives lean towards athletic interests, and other such activities that get one’s heart racing, (they’re relatively fearless), such as rock climbing or skydiving.

Easy to anger, those with this placement are not afraid of suppressing their aggression, in fact they may use it to their advantage. They often put up an assertive front in order to intimidate others, and they’re certainly not one to stand idly by if someone is talking smack about them.

Aries sun children make wonderful friends if you can match their limitless energy and passion. However, if you cannot grasp their abundant charisma and need for freedom, or are simply overwhelmed by their bluntness, make an effort to understand them better, for Aries are fiercely protective and surprisingly sensitive friends.

Aries Moon

The moon represents one’s feelings, the internal self. Looking at the moon sign can explain what a person needs to feel content in their lives and love, as well as how they function in terms of emotion.

Those with Moon in Aries are very complex. They are spontaneous, and often tend to dive into things head-first as a result. Because of this tendency, they are prone to falling in and out of love easily, and act upon their feelings based upon impulse rather than logic or reason.

On the other hand, when they do get invested in something, it’s always at full strength. Whether it is a new relationship or a new project, Aries Moon people are deeply passionate, and will make an effort to show it. They are very “hands on” with their emotions, rather than trying to interpret them from afar.

Depending on the day, Aries Moon people can either internalize or loudly project their feelings. Most of the time, they’ll play it cool around others, especially those they want to “impress.” Above all other things, they trust their instinct and gut feeling on any and all issues. They have a big heart.

Aries Rising/Ascendant

The rising sign, also called the ascendant, is the impression or general vibe you give off to others who do not know you very well, or those you have just met. Your rising sign is likely the sign others would guess you to be.

People with an Aries Rising have a very striking physical appearance. They tend to have sharp, precise movements that they execute with an air of purpose. The aura they give off can be intimidating, and instill in others the idea that they are large and in charge.

Their beauty is interesting, with strong features and an often naturally athletic form. If you make eye contact, their gaze is most likely intense and confident. Aries Risings can come across as rude or arrogant, but usually they are just self-assured. They put up a front that can seriously contradict a more gentle side of them.

Aries Mercury

Mercury represents how an individual thinks and processes information, as well as how they speak and communicate. Those with Mercury in Aries are gut thinkers, and make their decisions very quickly (which they might regret later.) Their minds are active, and they speak nearly as fast as thoughts enter their head. They can be a bit overwhelming if you get them going on a subject they are passionate about.

Aries Venus

Venus is one’s sensual side, how one acts in love. People with an Aries Venus often find themselves taking the lead if the other person doesn’t make a move. They usually enjoy the “thrill of the chase” when it comes to winning someone’s affections, but are equally as hard to catch themselves. They have a vast capacity for passion, and thoroughly enjoy physical contact in most of its forms. Those with their Venus in Aries can be major teases, whether they are aware of it or not, but in the end they know exactly what they want.

Aries Mars

Mars represents sexuality, aggression, and recklessness. It is often used to see how someone acts in sexual encounters, arguments, and occasionally debate (although Mercury better explains this, Mars does play a role.) Individuals with Mars in Aries exhibit the most stereotypical Mars traits, which makes sense considering Mars is Aries’ ruling planet.

People with this placement can be described as dominant and intense. When angered, they often disregard feelings and deliver extensive rants, but once they’ve made their point they try to exit the scene as quickly as possible. They tend to be explosive, but as soon as it’s over, they are known to forgive as easily as they’re angered. Excessive swearing is their main attack (and defense.)

Carl Jung seemingly attacks abstract thinking in “The Undiscovered Self,” which contradicts our apparent western value of evidence-based statistics.

Concrete thinking supports the individual in his flaws and quirks, abstract thinking neglects the individual in favor of the mean.

In the age of absolutism, in the favor of structure, can we define what does not exist in plain sight? What appears beyond our five senses, what cannot be molded or fit into a box?

A human is not a definitive it. Constantly, we are molded and shaped both externally and internally. To be human is to be dynamic.

To be dynamic is to change, to face internal and external battles, to have a multitude of choices and paths before us, to risk change and challenge the darkness of our futures. After all, we can’t so clearly make out the details, the supporting characters and events of our lives.

Astrology, which reflects us but does not control us, is centralized by polarities. Polarities are, simplistically put, two opposing sides of the same concept. The six signs divide into 12, as with the houses. In other words, astrology is defined by contradictions.

The initial mistake we all make in pursuing astrology is when we ask to be defined. Inevitably, there will be two points that do not align nicely. And so we become confused, or write off astrology as inaccurate. It cannot fit into a box-definition. It is not static in meaning.

We are caught in abstract thought, in the statistics that exclude our unique selves. We are oversimplifying our own complexity, and thus performing a huge disservice to ourselves.

To see a ‘contradiction’ in the chart is to learn of those human concepts that prompt our self-growth, that hide our darkness, and that fester beneath our conscious selves.

It is in those placements, which are often found in square, opposite, and inconjunct aspects, we learn how we fight ourselves and what part of us refuses to heal.

Yes, because as a concrete individual living and breathing, learning and growing, we will never wholly find ourselves through cookbook descriptions of sun and moon signs.

It is, instead, those moments of rage and destruction, sadness and jealousy, where we find our internal fight. You may write it off as “unlike me” or “heat of the moment.” You will then, of course, be ignoring your own 'contradictions,’ and your greatest opportunity for healing and self-growth.

Allow yourself to flow from the box that contains you.
