The elements and astrology
Astrology as tripicities, three signs for each element. These indicate our
strong points which we automatically use to function in the world
Fire (Intuition)
Aries, Leo, Sagittarius
These people have a fiery quality to their temperament. They function with
flashes of incite and instinct. . Using spontaneous guesswork, they often go on
a hunch or have a sudden premonition. They typically operate by the seat of
their pants. They trust that their vitality, charisma, magnetism and and
enthusiasm will contagiously inspire others. Others may perceive these people as
risk takers, impetuous, impulsive, daring and perhaps even reckless. Intuition
is their strong, superior function.
Aries is the first sign of the Western zodiac. In Greek
mythology, Zeus placed the likeness of a golden ram, that had been sacrificed to
him, in the heavens. Aries is a Cardinal, Masculine, Fire sign ruled by Mars.
Those born with the Sun in Aries are characterized as being direct and assertive
in nature.
Cardinal signs imply action, initiative,
determination and a desire to succeed; a dislike of close discipline. Fire signs
imply enthusiasm above all and can be entertaining and optimistic. They are good
at starting new projects, but not as good at finishing them. The Masculine
association is one of directness and outgoing, extroverted behavior. Apparently
confident, although appearances can be deceiving.
Interpretation of the natal chart can be
thought of in terms of three major facets of the individual. How you appear to
others, your innermost desires and aspirations, and what you are really like.
The characteristics associated with your Sun sign, Aries, are not absolutes, and
should be seen only as likely dispositions.
Personal freedom is generally of great
importance to you. At your best, you are enterprising, courageous and energetic.
At your worst, selfish, impulsive and quick-tempered - a degree of impatience is
not unusual. Arians are competitive and usually have a strong desire to achieve
their own ends. A willingness to take risks is common. Many Arians are famous
for their bravery and disregard for danger. One of your best traits is that you
are simple and direct, blunt and honest. It may be easy to forget the feelings
of others - Arians are sometimes difficult friends. A quick and satirical wit is
also common. Your intuition should be good, with quick decisions being mostly
the right ones. Arians are not generally egotistical, but the ability to admit
fault will compensate for a lack of diplomacy.
Aries, like the ram, responds to situations
impulsively. In emotional relationships, you need to express sexuality more
strongly than most, and in a positive fashion. Many have a romantic streak and a
likely tendency to selfishness. Arian behavior may be quite childish at times.
The partner of an Aries person should make sure that their needs are accepted as
being of equal importance.
The tendency to 'push' a child is the Arian
parent's worst fault and is not helped by a lack of patience. Arian parents
should allow the child to develop at their own rate. Mostly, the out-going
qualities of Arians make for a good parent, especially for the more extroverted
child. The Arian child is energetic and will be difficult to control at times.
Firm discipline is sometimes required. It is important for the parent to help
the child find a vocation of some kind early in life. In career terms, Aries
need more excitement than most. Arians would rather lead than be lead.
