Aries: Freedom, Identity, and the Right to Exist

Aries is the first astrological archetype in the zodiac wheel, marking the beginning of a brand new cycle. Associated with the fire element, Aries is driven by action, strong will, and a burst of life-force energy. This archetype is where we initiate, assert ourselves, and go for what we want in life. With the masculine, outward-facing energy of Mars, Aries is spontaneous, strong, and even warrior-like as they forge new paths, take the lead, and charge ahead.
