Significance Of Sign - Aries

Significance Of Sign - Aries  

 

In the previous lesson we were introduced to a basic portrait of the twelve signs of the zodiac. The following two chapters will afford the student a more elaborate description of each sign. We will learn the history of each symbol and its relationship to the sign. This is very important for complete understanding of the signs. In short, we will learn the biography of each sign and its relationship with other signs. It is crucial at this stage in the course to develop a sound basis of comprehension for the individual signs. It is impossible to tell you how many times during the course, and your career, you will refer back to this basis. The stronger your conception of the signs, we guarantee the stronger the confidence of your client in your analysis.

Aries

Aries the first sign of the zodiac and it is indicated by a Ram. Thus the symbol of Aries has been designed to suggest a ram's horns. It also has been said that it represents two spirals, the future and the past. Aries as new life, starts in the past and projects into the future. The history behind the ram symbol of Aries is both interesting and informative. A brief knowledge of this history is essential to your understanding of the sign of Aries. In ancient Thessaly, part of the present day Kingdom of Greece, much strife surrounded the crown. It seems that the affections of the King were so alienated from his spouse, the good Queen Nephele, that she felt that the lives of her two children, the Prince Phryxus and the Princess Helle were endangered. The queen, in a desperate state of anxiety and fear, appealed to Mercury for aid. This great and busy deity possessed a ram whose fleece was so lovely that it shone like gold and who could leap so far and so fast that none could out distance him. Mercury persuaded Queen Nephele to seat her two children on the back of the Ram to carry them to safety. While swooping through the air over the Dardanelles Strait which separates Europe from Asia Minor, the little princess lost her balance and fell into the water below. Even now the tip of Gallipoli Peninsula is known as Cape Helles or Hellespont. Lonely and sorrowful, the little Prince Phryxus, astride the Ram, landed in Colchis on the shores of the Black Sea. Here on the shores of the Black Sea his royal father-in-law, Acetes, welcomed him. Phryxus promptly sacrificed the Ram to Jupiter in a sincere Thanksgiving for his safety. First he skinned it and took the Golden Fleece and nailed it to a tree in the sacred grave that was dedicated to Mars, where a fearsome dragon was appointed to guard it. Covetous of the valuable trophy, however, King Acetes then murdered his youthful son-in law. Jason who commanded the heroic and famous Arganauts, heard of this atrocity and vowed to avenge it in the name of the good Queen Nephele. Along with his fearless comrades he boarded the vessel Argo, setting sail from Ioclus to the land of Colchist. A tremendous battle ensued in which the Golden Fleece was recovered. Another series of battles followed after which Jason regained his own throne back from his daring Uncle Pelias, who had stolen it during his absence. As a fitting end to this galaxy of victories, Jason was coronated King. Then to assure the safety of the Golden Fleece for all time, the gods transported it to the sky, where it maintains it's place with golden splendor as the Constellation Aries, the sign of the Ram. Aries is of the Fire element. Cardinal quality and intellectual trinity. It's keywords are dauntless and ardor. (Before reading further review all characteristics of Aries in Lesson III.) In nature, this sign is masculine or positive, active, expressionable and dominant. Some unfavorable qualities are: restless, impulsive and hot-tempered. Some favorable qualities are: ambitious, energetic, witty and strong in military matters. They make good police officers. If thwarted, Aries can demonstrate fierce anger but it possesses sufficient spirituality not to harbour resentment too long. Strong planetary tenancy of this sign gives power to the natives of any other sign. It's fearlessness can be a detriment as it may lead to a reckless abandon.

In employment, he generally succeeds in any line paralleling the affairs of his birth sign, or the interests of the house in which the Sun finds itself in his horoscope. In alliances, such as business, fraternal and marriage, he gets along well with those born under his own sign or one that is opposite. (180° is opposite) (trine to it, 120° from it) (sextile, 60° from it). To understand this position clearly see Illustration I.

(1) The Sun - Moon* relationship (1) is most conducive to a successful marriage. This means that this statement also assumes there are no other aspects of both parties horoscopes which may negate or modify this favorable condition.

(2) Decanate division* shows that those born when the Sun was in the first ten degrees (decan) of Aries are endowed with activity, adventure, zeal, notoriety, sometimes dishonor and misfortune. Those born with the Sun in the second decan show affections as the source of power to sway others and the mind joining the promptings of the heart. If the third decan is involved they are easily victimized by propaganda, the spiritual possibilities of the valiant soul at grips with sordid conditions.

The essential dignities of Mars, the planetary ruler of Aries, are; it governs Aries and is exalted in Capricorn; the essential debilities of Mars are; it is in detriment (danger) when in Libra and in fall (washed out) when in Cancer.

In mundane astrology (mundane astrology means astrology of things and affairs rather than people), Aries indicates the style of policy followed by the government; changes in expression, such as constitutional amendments and creation of laws that liberalize or restrict the people.

(*1) A successful Sun-Moon marriage relationship means that one partner has his or her Sun in the sign in which the other's char shows the Moon in the same sign.

(*2) Decanate - a ten degree division of each signs 30° section of the horoscope chart (see Illustration I). Two patterns of rulership exist of each decanate. The first is: the three decans of each sign are divided according to the element of the sign itself, which govern the first decan. The second decan is governed by the next following sign of that same element, and t c r the third by the third sign of that same element. Thus the first decan of Aries, is governed by Aries (fire) itself, the second by Leo (fire), the third by Sagittarius (fire). The first decan of Taurus is governed by Taurus (earth) itself, the second by Virgo (earth), and the third by Capricorn, (earth). Leo's first decan is governed by Leo itself, Sagittarius governs the second and Aries the third. Sagittarius governs its own first decan, Aries the second, and Leo the third and so around the entire wheel. Thus the planetary ruler of the decan is the ruler of the sign governing that decan. An Aquarian decan is ruled by Uranus, Sun governs a Leo decan and so on. For now a knowledge of this first pattern of decan rulership will suffice. In a future lesson you will learn the second pattern of decan rulership known as Chaldean and also details on planetary rulership.
