The “I Am” energy of the Zodiac. As the first sign on stage, Aries is all about being and becoming. Aries is known as “the Point of All Beginnings”. Aries rules the head and is commonly viewed as “the fire of the head”; the untamed fire of impulse. Aries is the uprushing fountain of Lire and they are the pioneers of the Zodiac.
Aries people are born to do what they want and any interference can bring out an Aries wrath. Aries are the original self-starters of the Zodiac, but they are quick to lose interest if the pace slows are they expereince too many obstacles. Aries may appear confident on the surface, but they may also deal with feelings of inadequacy beneath the surface and they will have to learn to build up their own self-esteem.
A person with their sun in Aries is in the process of building a personality. All energies are self-centered and self-directed. Before you can give yourself away you must be something to give.

Do’s & Don’ts of Dealing with an Aries
Do:
Encourage them, remind them of their positive qualities, and allow them to chase after their passions.
Don’t:
Try to control or direct their life. Don’t force your beliefs upon them (or anyone, let’s be real), and don’t try to stiffle their energies, even if they seem excessive. Aries need to be able to express themselves in their own mediums.
Universal Standpoint
The first impulse of the life force into activity, the descent of the Divine spark into manifestation
Wherever Aries is placed on your chart (the house it rules) is where you, as Spirit, begins to operate
Arians move so quickly and demand so much they can tire others long before they’re ready to quit. Spill energy in every direction and it they don’t conserve it, it can lead to bad health. Prominent headaches from tension since they can’t relax.

Reconnection
Causes past to resurface, old relationships, wounds, ways of being and believing, brings awareness and healing to help forgiveness, growth, and change.
Reconnect with the inner self and with others, express emotions and find relief and restoration
Get still and listen within, rethink yourself image to yourself, connect with higher-self, see through eyes of spirit. Be direct and encouraging with your words, especially with what you tell yourself, speak light into the world and the wound and connect with the web of life
