♈ Mesha
Aries — The Fire Cardinal Sign
Aries is the raw spark of the zodiac — first out of the gate, ruled by warrior Mars. Natives act first and analyse later, which makes them natural leaders in crisis but impatient with slow processes. The chart is strengthened by channelling this fire into disciplined goals.
