Aries March 21 to April 20

The Sun blazed in dynamic Aries, a fire sign on your birthday. The Sun in astrology stands for your inner nature, the light of your essential character. Aries, the first sign of the Zodiac, is a masculine sign ruled by the warrior planet Mars, whose motto must be “Crash through, or crash!”. A cardinal (creative and inventive) sign, Aries, the Ram, governs leadership and initiative. Aries people are bold and self-confident, although they tend to be overly impulsive.

The Sun, the ruler of our inner nature, is very well placed in Aries, the sign of its exaltation. This energy is very attractive, even compelling, and few can resist being carried along in the jetstream. Ariens are always overflowing with ideas, schemes and plans to conquer the world, for a well-aspected sun in Aries radiates power and vitality. Many a moth has been burned in its flame! Life, of course, is one long party (which the more mothlike among us may find a just little wearing…).
Flair and Originality

Ariens are great organisers, full of flair and originality, although usually lacking discipline and the capacity for prolonged effort (minions must be found to do the slog work!). You are intuitive and articulate, with the capacity to inspire others, especially in projects which have a clear outcome and do not require a long lead-time.

You have masses of energy and courage and will rush in where angels fear to tread, for the Arien ego can be rather overbearing. Undue optimism, or impatience and desire for self-aggrandisement can result in wasted effort or even severe setbacks and disappointment.

A Determined Fighter

The emblem for Aries is the Ram, a determined fighter and a powerful adversary, with a strong urge to express himself over the widest possible field of endeavour.

Creative Aries, a cardinal sign, loves to be the leader and can organise fantastic and impressive ventures. Unfortunately, despite your desire to be the front-runner in all you do, sometimes you do get bored with the whole affair and can just wander off, or sit back and allow the lesser folk to have their way. This can see the whole house of cards collapsing, but happily your enthusiam is easily roused and when you set your mind to it you can inspire others to stick to those essential jobs that sometimes seem no more than the merest details to the noble Ram. You see, painful as this may seem, you really need the team as much as the team needs you!
Aries Rules the Head

Aries rules the head, brain and eyes, so people with Aries active in their charts are subject to head injury, headaches, general problems with organs in the head and fevers (although the nose is ruled by Scorpio). You are all extremists and for this reason can fall prey to stress-related ailments and mental problems. However, although you can be highly-strung, your great fund of energy enables you to survive where other less exuberant folks might succumb.

Your colours are red and white. Aries rules metallic iron and your birthstone is the brilliant diamond, symbolising clear strength, purified under pressure. Nature creates the precious diamond out of crumbly, coal-black carbon, by applying intense heat and pressure for a very long time. Flowers for Aries include the red poppy, geraniums, honeysuckle and hollyhocks.

This is probably my best self portrait since I believe it reveals more of my true self than any other photo

    The description is amazing. I am an Aries as well. I can really see a lot of myself in these words.
    This I agree is superb. Different than any other I’ve seen, which makes it even better.
    Well done, well done.

    Like any strongly “horned” animal…he is competing…
    Yes….Aries does compete…and his fire driven mental energy cannot flood up to the sky causing him strong suffocationg of the intelectual chakras.
    As the head is moving his substance, not as an rocket rather as a medieval weapon for putting castles down.,he can loose balance and fall down face against ground quite easily. As his mental is fiery, his nostrils can be wide…and the apendix quite big, and a sort of horny ….so they could smash you with a nose bump as well. This means that sensuality is open, and that quantity could become more important as quality. As they can sniff much more air than others.( which isnot true, it is just a beleiving…) they think that they are quite or very intuitive… mmmmmm passion is not very intuitive,and they misunderstand their sudden fancies and desires, even metaphysical outfits with intuition…but not…what happens is that the emotional material…quite damp.. if not totally acuatic….is rapidly warmed up with the mental quality and then, produce a steam energy,which launches them to the idea… to the moment, to the projection. Their reactions uncontrolled….and as steam…though water in another dimension ,still water, does not dry their emotions..and then…they are impregnated with a rushing sensibility, that they do not understand at all….one thing is what we beleive about ourselves…and another which it is really happening.

    But they wait…..they have patience….and impatience..and to compensate it…a true perseverance. They need woman….they need calmness…they need soothing, fresh energies.
    On Colin…this was fun….really. I have met and have many Aries as friends. My older so is Aries too. Your work is “genial”. Original, and specially with an overwhelming sense of humour.. you are laughing at yourself..in the best mood..that of self´knowledge and confidentiallity. You could seen agressive with this “instinctual savage” look but in fact it produces tenderness… It is a mask of tenderness…and the texture of the hairy skin..is just produced for caressing invitation.

    Have then…..mighty Ram…..my first caress of today, Monday….

    Faultless.

    No signs of manipulation.

    Just excellent post production skills.

    I normally hate this style of work, because 99% of the people doing it are unable to take their digital “fingerprints” off the image.

    Its fake, but it shouldn’t LOOK fake.

    In other words, while it is obvious that it is digitally maniupated, you should not be able to see where the work has been done.

    This is just incredibly high quality work.

    F*CKING AMAZING!
