The Basics

You know those motivational posters with a picture of a mountain and some cheesy slogan about perseverance? You're like a walking, talking version of those posters. You embody the spirit of "just do it" and "never give up." You may be intense at times, but you inspire others with your determination.

With your Sun in Aries, you are bold and dynamic with a strong desire to initiate and lead. Confident and self-assured, you have an innate ability to assert yourself in any situation - whether it's wanted or not.

You're like the energizer bunny - you just keep going and going. You're the friend who always shows up to the party first and leaves last. Your stamina comes in bursts, but it is plenty and impressive and it's difficult not to be inspired by your relentless energy.

Pioneering:

As a natural pioneer, you enjoy taking risks and exploring new territory. You have a quick mind and are able to think on your feet, which makes you a formidable opponent in any competition. Your courage and adventurous spirit are admired by those around you, and you have a knack for inspiring others to follow their own dreams.

Impulsive:

Your impulsive nature can sometimes lead you to act before thinking, which can lead to conflict or regret later on. You have a tendency to be quick-tempered and impatient, especially when things don't go according to plan. Because of this, you are prone to headaches and migraines, nevertheless, your passion and enthusiasm are infectious, and you have a knack for inspiring others to take action.

Independent:

You value your independence and are happiest when you are able to pursue your own goals and ambitions. You may have a competitive streak and enjoy the thrill of victory, but you also have a deep sense of fairness and justice.

Direct and Honest:

You are direct and honest in your communication style, and you appreciate the same from others. Your fiery nature can sometimes intimidate others, but those who take the time to get to know you appreciate your dynamic and self-starting personality.

*Look at your Cosmodyne scores for your Sun's Power and Harmony/Discord for more insight.  While everyone has good and bad days, your Cosmodynes reveal where you lean toward on average.

(As we age, we learn to deal with all of our placements, and hopefully, we evolve into more harmonious beings than our Natal charts suggest.)

Transits to your Sun, especially from the outer planets, greatly affect its expression as well.

  • When your bold and assertive nature is mistaken for aggression or domination, it may be helpful to practice active listening and compromise. Remember to take the time to understand others' perspectives and find common ground.
  • To manage impulsiveness and a short temper, it can be useful to take breaks and practice stress-reducing activities like meditation, exercise, or deep breathing. Counting to 10 before reacting can also help diffuse heated situations.
  • To improve your ability to follow through on long-term projects, try breaking them down into smaller, more manageable tasks. Set specific goals and deadlines for each task and reward yourself for completing them. It can also be helpful to work with a partner or accountability buddy.
  • Remember to consider the impact of your actions on others. Take responsibility for any harm you may have caused and make amends when possible.
  • Work on finding a balance between assertiveness and respect for others. Speak up for yourself when needed, but also be willing to listen and compromise when appropriate. Learning to work collaboratively with others can ultimately help you achieve your goals more effectively.
