Birthday for Aries

Is there someone in your life who is extremely energetic, competitive and sometimes short-tempered? They must be Aries! Here you’ll find more information about them and ideas on how to make their birthday celebration unforgettable.

Aries is the first sign of the zodiac, starting the cycle and ushering in spring. The symbol for Aries is the ram, a spirited animal that’s ever ready for action.

Aries (March 21–April 19) is an energetic, headstrong sign with a fiery, impulsive nature. You never have to wonder how an Aries feels. They’ll tell you — loudly and often.

Aries is a cardinal sign, meaning they’re leaders who are willing to take charge and get things done. They like to be first and best in all things, which can make them impatient with those who don’t share their drive. Sometimes this competitiveness can take an aggressive turn, but on the whole Aries people are motivated, self-confident leaders who enjoy being at the center of attention.

Aries has two ruling planets: Mars, planet of action and initiative; and Uranus, planet of originality and ingenuity. That’s why Arians have so much energy and love to be on the move — their restless minds are always searching for something new and exciting.

In the sky

Many centuries ago, the Aries constellation contained the vernal equinox, when the Sun crossed over the celestial equator from north to south. Currently, this happens in the Pisces season.

In Greek mythology, the ram with golden wool was sent by cloud nymph Nephele, mother of Phrixus and Helle, to rescue them from their step-mother’s devious plan of falsely sacrificing them to the Gods. She had ruined the crops and bribed the oracle at Delphi to convince the king to sacrifice his own children to save his kingdom from famine.

On the day of the sacrifice, a ram with a golden wool flew over to the children and carried them on his back to Colchis. On the journey Hella fell off into Dardanelles and drowned, it was named in her honor – Hellespont.

Phrixus sacrificed the ram and gave the golden fleece to the king Aeëtes of Colchis, in return he offered his daughter’s Chalciope’s hand to Phrixus.

The same golden fleece later was featured in the story of Jason and the Argonauts.

Hemal is the largest star in the Aries constellation. It is an orange giant that is about twice as big as the Sun. It is 66 light years away. In arabic, Hemal means lamb and is derived from a phrase ‘rās al-ħamal’ meaning ‘head of the ram’.
