Aries is the first Sign of the
Zodiac. Aries are ruled by planet Mars and the main theme for this Sun Sign is—Energy.
Energy is divine gift to us and can be of two types—constructive or
destructive. Constructive energy is good and helps build our lives. It is my
belief, life’s philosophy should be to focus on the positives in our lives, and
positivity should be the predominant manner in which we may construct our
day-to-day practice. Emotions are a way in which we automatically react to
circumstances and ‘anger’ is one such emotion. Occasionally anger is so
ingrained in our personality, like ego, that we do not even recognize it. This
negative emotions is present not just in Aries but entrenched in every one
of us and is, I think, very, very normal or natural but in no way
spiritual. Negative qualities are energy black-holes; they drain us quickly by
taxing our attention and focus and diverting us not only from our spiritual
path but also create blockages in our personal and professional growth. Imagine
how much lighter our journey will be, how much freer and more focused we would
be, if we were able to rid ourselves of some of these anchors in our life……
Anger is also of two types, (I hope this is
not puzzling you while reading). One type arises from a sense of nurturing or protection
and the other to some extent from judgment, hurt or ego. We tell someone,
especially the ones whom we love and care about, in anger that they shouldn’t
have done something because we understand, through our own experience, the
consequences of their actions would bring. But it is the other anger, the one
rising from judgment, hurt or ego that is detrimental. But the question is how
to deal with it, so that it does not harm us in our spiritual, physical and
material growth. One of the method is ignore or withdrawal; the problem with
this reaction is that when we withdraw, we disrupt the circuit of energy and we
may as a result have health problems (I think doctors would agree to this). There
is another way to respond to anger--- Spiritually. I understand it is not easy
and we need to practice this all through our life but if we want to take our life
to another level we will have to learn, maybe slowly in the beginning. In
science (here again my science background helps me understand the philosophy of
life) there is a term called ‘conduction’. Conduction is when energy is flowing
because something is touching it and transfer of energy between the conductor
and charged body takes place. What I suggest when the other person is angry, we
don’t take on their anger. No conduction no flow of energy. We may pause for a second, ‘think and walk away’, both
physically and emotionally, from the other person’s reactivity. Our life should
progress, remember that we cannot progress without change.
Now to talk about the General characteristics of Aries:-
Aries are the initiators, whether
or not everything gets completed is another question altogether. The Arian is a
pioneer both in thought and action, very open to new ideas. Aries are ruled by
planet Mars and are a bundle of energy and once channel in right direction
progress rapidly in life. Monotonous work routines bore Aries and the dawning
of a new day with all of its possibilities is pure bliss. Physical and mental
challenges stimulate and are must for growth.
An Aries won't shy from taking
risks in life and that includes resigning or moving away from work or situation
at the heat of the moment. They are quick-witted but sometimes foolhardy and
over optimistic, lacking thoroughness and the ability to evaluate difficulties
in the undertakings into which they often rush impulsively. Restlessness and
impatience needs to be controlled which will surface if they don't get quick
results.
It's these times when you may wish Aries's were
a more subdued creature perhaps the great need of Aries is to exercise iron
self-control, to discipline the qualities and tendencies of their character to
the advantage.
Aries governs the head, and Arians
are said to be prone to headaches, migraines hypertension and depression. They
are also prone to accidents and physical injuries.
The color of choice for Aries is red.
Birthstone is the red coral.
Caution: Aries planet Mars rules over
your sign. Anger and taking decisions on the heat of the moment are your
negative pitfalls and may only produce greater problems.
Spiritual thought: Anger is like a
fire that burns dreams and relationships, and brings permanent scars. Growth
begins when you burn anger!
