Aries opens the zodiac at the spring equinox, ruled by Mars. Aries people are brave, direct and energetic, born to start things and lead from the front.
Their gift is courage and honesty. Their challenge is impatience and a short temper; Aries starts more than it finishes and must learn to slow down.
