Influence of each Sign
The essential archetypal influence of each sign of the tropical zodiac as as filter on the character of any planet, luminary or house cusp.
Aries
Aries embodies the will to commence, and to launch new activities, without much regard for where they are leading, just following the impulse to act and to manifest in reality what is already held in potential in its inner nature. The grain springing forth from the earth suggested in one interpretation of the glyph for Aries symbolises this dynamic drive. Aries lacks moderation and focuses more on the present than the future, which often leads to reckless overexpenditure of assets.
Aries resembles its symbol of the horned ram in its forcefulness and impulsiveness, and its tendency to throw itself into endeavours with little forethought. Energy is sent forth wildly and with excitable but often short-lived enthusiasm, and flashes of inspiration and passion which are muted almost as suddenly as they are released. Centred in the assertion of the personal will, Aries can be naive and oblivious to the effects of its forward reach on others, and in the face of unexpected opposition may shrink backwards, surprised and hurt.
Viewed as a metaphysical fork in the road, the glyph for Aries illustrates choice of direction. Aries relishes its autonomy and power to freely decide upon its own destiny.
Aries rules the head down to and including the upper jaw; and the Aries glyph as a mark of the human nose and eyebrows emphasises the concentration of the sign's energy in the front of the brain. Intelligence, and the power to forge new ideas, is key to the successful exercising of Arien free will.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Aries, the ram, is an astrological sign that originated from the constellation Aries, and is the first sign of the zodiac. Aries is classed as a Positive or masculine, extrovert sign; its Element is Fire and its Quality is Cardinal. Traditionally in astrology Aries is ruled by the planet Mars. The opposite sign to Aries is Libra. Under the tropical zodiac, Aries is occupied by the Sun from March 21 to April 19, by definition beginning at vernal equinox. Under the sidereal zodiac, it is currently from April 19 to May 19. The Pisces/Aries Cusp dates is between March 19 to March 23. Aries is associated with the astrological 1st house. The corresponding month in the Babylonian calendar is Arax NisÃĒnu, dedicated to Anu and Bel.
In astrology the astrological signs represent twelve equal segments or divisions of the zodiac. According to astrological beliefs, celestial phenomena reflect or govern human activity on the principle of "as above, so below", so that the twelve signs at the same time are held to represent twelve basic personality types or characteristic modes of expression.[2] The scientific community generally considers astrology as a pseudoscience or superstition.[3][4] ; yet despite this, belief in astrology remains widespread.
