The Story of Aries the Ram
The Constellation of Aries
The Zodiac sign of Aries was named for the constellation of the same name, which in Greek tradition is also called “The Ram”.
The story associated with this constellation is that of the golden ram that rescued Phrixus, taking him to the land of Colchis.
In Greek mythology, Phrixus was the son of Athamus, king of Boiotia, and Nephele, the Goddess of the Clouds.
Phrixus and his twin sister Helle were hated by their stepmother, Ino, who plotted to get rid of the twins by roasting all of Boiotia’s crop seeds so they would not grow. Frightened of famine the farmers consulted the local oracle for assistance. Ino bribed them to lie and tell the others that the oracle required the sacrifice of Phrixus and Helle.
Before they could be killed Phrixus and Helle were rescued by a flying ram with a golden fleece, that was sent by Nephele, their natural mother. During their flight Helle fell off the ram and drowned in the sea then known as the Dardanelles, which was renamed the Hellespont.
Her brother survived the journey to Colchis, where King Aeëtes, the son of the Sun God Helios, took him in and treated him kindly, giving Phrixus his daughter, Chalciope, in marriage.
In gratitude, Phrixus sacrificed the ram to Zeus and gave the king the golden fleece of the ram, which Aeëtes hung in a tree in the holy grove of Ares.
Phrixus and Chalciope had four sons, who later joined forces with the Argonauts. The oldest was Argos, who built the ship the Argo.
And of course it was Jason who sailed the Argo in search of the famed Golden Fleece.
Mars – The Ruling Planet of Aries
Aries is ruled by the planet Mars, which represents energy, sexual drive, anger, self-assertion and aggression.

The Element & Quality of Aries
Aries is a Fire Sign
The Zodiac is divided into four Elements: Earth, Air, Fire and Water, which represent the four basic modes of being. Signs that share an Element are generally regarded to be harmonious with each other.
The Element of Aries is “Fire” which it shares and is compatible with Sagittarius and Leo.
The Element of Fire symbolises the primitive urge to live and the creative inspiration to find a suitable outlet for one’s energy. It represents enthusiasm, faith, spontaneity, intuition and idealism.
The Quality of Aries is Cardinal
The signs of the Zodiac are also divided into Qualities: Cardinal, Fixed and Mutable and signs that share a Quality are generally regarded to be hostile to each other.
The Quality relates to the basic temperament of an individual, who will have a prevailing identifying characteristic that is rarely altered through life – nor does it need to be.
Each of these Qualities views the world very differently, their reactions to stimuli are different so that any action they take will be different too.
A “cardinal sign” (also called by older astrologers a moveable sign) is a sign of the zodiac that initiates a change of temperate zone season when the Sun makes its annual passage into them.
The word “cardinal” originates from the Latin word for “hinge,” and these signs are considered forceful and dynamic, initiating action and providing leadership.
However, on the other hand, cardinal signs can be controlling, inconsiderate, stubborn, selfish and demanding, as they are sure that their way is best and that others should follow.
Cancer, Libra and Capricorn are also Cardinal signs and are therefore less likely to be compatible with Aries.

Aries Lucky Colour: Red
Red is associated with the planet Mars
The lucky colour for Aries is crimson or deep red and is the colour associated with its ruling planet Mars. Red has a stimulating effect, but the Arian needs to be careful because it can be irritating to the eye.
Red should never be worn by an Arian trying to patch up a quarrel or when tact or a compromise is needed. However, if faced with a situation that demands courage and energy, the colour red can act like a charm.
Red represents life and vitality and has always been the symbol of love, fire, blood and infatuation. Basically, it represents strong emotions rather than cerebral thinking.
Positive qualities of red: Physical courage; strength; warmth; energy; basic survival; stimulation; masculinity; excitement
Negative qualities of red: Defiance; aggression; visual Impact; strain
Arians prefer bold and bright colours which have assertive undertones. In addition to red, black is a particular favourite with its influence of power but Arians also tend to respond well to the calming colour of indigo, which helps calm their exuberant fieriness.
Other favourable colours: Pink, orange, white, yellow, royal blue, navy blue, bright brown and variegated colours
Unfavorable colours: green, grey, faded colours
