Love them or hate them they are a part of many people’s lives. What is it about? Basically it is a study of where the planets or heavenly bodies are at the time of your birth and how that affects your person and personality. We all live our lives according to what we believe to be true, every single one of us but we all have the choice of what we believe. There seems to be some strong arguments for these beliefs on all sides but I find it rather uncanny how some people are so ‘true’ to their sign but are disbelievers, go figure.

Aries: March 21- April 20 The Ram

The Ram is the first sign of the zodiac and it would seem those born under this sign are headstrong and leaders. They are usually sure footed and know which way they want to go. They are ruled by the planet Mars and their colour is red. Their element is fire and everything about these people is primal. Their body link is to the head, face and cerebrum. They are attracted to Gemini, Leo, Libra and Scorpion personalities. The Aries people are often saying’ I am’ which would have to be their slogan.

There element is Earth and they are usually very cool and very calm. Their body link is the ears, vocal chords, neck and throat. They are attracted to Librans, Scorpions and Capricorns.
