An intimate relationship with another ARIES means inability to recharge each others energy field.
There is a tendency to blend and act as one element. Unless there are other strong energizing
elements present, there can be a slow starvation of the nervous system. Conflict need not be present.

Attraction to others attuned to an element one lacks usually does not form the basis for a lasting
relationship. One or both end up saying, We are too different.

Relationships can be either too intense or devitalizing according to the energy combinations of
both persons. A strong reason for knowing the Soul Maps of those with whom you have close personal
relationships. We can work positively with what we know.

Sleeping together merges the energy fields and can dramatically affect each persons state of
health, for good or ill. If in an intimate relationship with a neutral or incompatible Sun Sign, sleeping in
separate beds/bedrooms can be very beneficial. (Stephen Arroyo, Astrology, Psychology, & the Four
Elements)

EVOLUTIONARY SPIRAL: (According to Alan Oken, Soul-Centered Astrology ) as we grow

holistically, we spiral upward from Personality- centered >>> Awakening to Soul-Personality relationship
>>> Soul-Centered Individual.

Functioning on the totally Personality-Centered Level unconscious of self, projects instinctively

desires of the lower self. A me first attitude that lacks objectivity, thus is nave and unconscious.
Approach to life can be confrontational; attachment to territory is strong. Motivations are based on
desire for dominance and the need for personal recognition.

Awakening to Soul-Personality Relationship life energies are more consciously directed and
focused. Begins to fight not only for the causes that interest ARIES, but for the well-being of others. The
anger and moral outrage begins to lose its instinctual nature and to become more closely aligned with
conscious purpose. ARIES creates a plan of action. Instead of fighting to maintain territory, ARIES now
becomes an instrument to correct injustices, and if necessary, an instrument of sacrifice for a high ideal.
ARIES discovers the meaning of Love.

Soul-centered individual ARIES takes on the conscious responsibility for the right use of the 1st
RAY energy of Will & Power. Is in constant touch with the Intuitive Plane and can be extremely
perceptive and inspirational. Now a conscious personification of the Will-to-Good that is the 1st RAY.
Can infuse and inspire heightened spiritual awareness into any endeavor. ARIES Intuitive Mind is the
highest weapon of the Arian Warrior.

POSITIVE CHARACTERISTICS:

The I AM sign, pride in personal fulfillment, self-confident, drive, courageous, strong sense of
excitement, discovery, and adventure. The ability to inspire, strong leadership qualities, filled with new
ideas, honest and direct, spontaneous, independent. Sexual energy is strong. Possesses a restless
need to move forward, to accomplish something. Influence and the power to get things done is
important, enjoys a challenge. ARIES can be extremely resourceful. ARIES is the energy of the
pioneer, the trailblazer.

NEGATIVE CHARACTERISTICS: (Remember that as you focus on developing your positive

characteristics, the negatives ones tend to disappear. Those who express in negative ways are
frustrated, consciously or unconsciously, because they are not being who they truly are.)
Impulsive, pushy, headstrong, tends to look down on women (even when ARIES is a woman);
needs to learn reciprocity, consideration of others, and sharing; needs to balance Arian independence
with the Libran social and companionship qualities. Stagnation can mean that ARIES is operating too
much out of its opposite energyLibra. Impatientlistening and waiting are difficult for ARIES. Aloof,
distant, fails to recognize that other zodiac signs do not possess ARIES stamina and vitality. Injures to
the head can be a warning sign: stop, listen, and evaluate ARIES lifestyle. May come on too strong, too
intense.

AN ARIES INCARNATION is an important lifetime. It offers opportunities for establishing a strong sense
of ego-identity; for learning to set boundaries; and, by learning to use the intellect and intuitive mind, to
develop a sense of separateness as a unique human being. What is initiated in ARIES will be the basis
from which the soul expresses for the next eleven incarnations through the zodiac. During the ARIES
incarnation, the soul experiences inner resourcefulness and self-reliance. It is an opportunity to learn
that the I AM is the SELF. A balance between polarities, ARIES & Libra, can be achieved through
building a lasting, happy marriage or partnership. ARIES learns how to move forward, even if it is
through a dark tunnel. Optimism is eternal; ARIES knows there is light at the end of the tunnel.

ARIES AS YOUR ASCENDANT

Be sure to check your chart to see what your Ascendant is.
The zodiac energy on the ASCENDANT is the energy that the public beholds. We also look at the
world through our ASCENDANT energy. ARIES ASCENDANT, on the mundane level, sees a world that

needs to be conquered and dominated.

In esoteric (soul-centered) astrology, the ASCENDANT indicates the souls purpose in physical
embodiment.
ARIES ASCENDANT reveals that the soul is to be activated through the 1st & 7th RAYS. Thus,
the soul has incarnated in order to take on the responsibility of a leadership role. Its 1st RAY lessons
include learning how to surrender the personal will to Divine Will and to structure and implement power
in ways that are beneficial to the Whole. Personal power is to be lifted to knowledge of Self as a
channel for Divine Power. ARIES ASCENDANT is to evolve from the totally subjective approach >>> to
the objective, impersonal use of the 1st RAYs Will/Power.
The main function and goal of ARIES ASCENDANTs 7th RAY energy is to fuse matter with Spirit.
ARIES, the birthplace of ideas, is to bring spiritual ideas into physical manifestation. ARIES
ASCENDANT is to use the leadership role to change those forms, both physical and mental, that no
longer serve the Divine Plan. Ceremony and ritual are important to the 7th RAY individual.
THE HOUSE IN WHICH MERCURYAS THE SOUL LEVEL RULER OF ARIESIS FOUND will
indicate the area of lifes experiences where the lessons of the 1st and 7th RAYS will tend to manifest.
Since MERCURY CHANNELS THE 4TH RAY OF HARMONY THROUGH CONFLICT, many of the
lessons will come through efforts to establish harmony out of conflict within the area of lifes experiences
indicated by the house location of Mercury.

MOON IN ARIES
Be sure to check your chart and see where your Moon is located.

The MOON reveals the personality as it is displayed in our reactions to the events within our daily
lives. It also reveals much that is hidden within our subconscious minds.
On the soul-centered level, the MOON reveals habit patterns that must be overcome or
transformed into the positive expression in order to advance toward spiritual maturity. This struggle to
overcome the negative tendencies revealed by the MOON is the cross we bear (Alan Oken). The
MOON reminds us of the negative habit patterns formed in prior incarnations that created the karma we
brought into this incarnation.
MOON IN ARIES indicates that soul growth will occur as the individual learns control of the
emotions by the mind. MOON IN ARIES learns to move from an instinctual, impulsive reaction to lifes
situations >>> to >>> a conscious, more objective response. MOON IN ARIES is to overcome temper
outbursts, to channel anger into constructive avenues of expression, to cooperate with others, and to
make the shift from aggression to positive self-assertion. MOON IN ARIES tendencies are: to be
bossy and domineering, to be thoughtless of others. ARIES is to allow the restless energy that
agitates self and others to be transformed. MOON IN ARIES is to learn how to constructively channel
the intensity of its energy.

THE FOLLOWING APPLIES TO ALL THREE OF THE ABOVE SUN, ASCENDANT, OR MOON IN
ARIES

HEALTH & WELL BEING: The ARIES/LIBRA POLARITIES work together to bring about a positive
regulation of energy flow within the physical body.
Achieving a balance between the qualities of ARIES & LIBRA, thereby transforming negative habit

patterns, will assist in maintaining good health. For examples, achieving a balance between:
ARIES aggression and LIBRAs capacity to cooperate.
ARIES tendency to dominate and LIBRAs tendency to be too submissive.
ARIES impulsiveness and LIBRAs social refinement.
ARIES love of activity and LIBRAs ability to be lazy, to relax and smell the flowers, and
to appreciate the beauty in sound, color, form, thought, and nature.
ARIES love of working with tools and LIBRAs love of all forms of art.

Failure to recharge ones Sun sign energy results in depletion, irritability, and increased
vulnerability to physical and emotional dis-eases. The element of ones Sun sign is the fuel needed to
feel alive. It is the source of vitality and power, the resource for coping with stress and challenges.
ARIES recharges by: 1) Vigorous physical activity in the sunlight; 2) Involvement with other fire
signsLeo and Sagittarius; 3) Involvement in promotional type work based on inspired ideas and goals.
ARIES deprived of regular vigorous physical activity in the sunlight will begin to feel depleted and
depressed. Fire is spontaneous energy that moves quickly. To stifle fire energy is to literally put it out.

CONFLICT RESOLUTION: Confronted with conflict, ARIES will attempt to overpower the obstacles, to
burn them up or scare them away by a show of force. Tactfulness is rare for ARIES. He/she responds
with intensity and favors direct action in problem-solving. Impulse, rather than deliberation, is most
likely.
