The Sabian Symbols of Aries

The Ram · March 21 – April 19 · Fire, cardinal, ruled by Mars

Aries runs from 1° to 30° of the zodiac — thirty degrees, and so thirty Sabian Symbols. Each is a single received image, dictated to clairvoyant Elsie Wheeler by astrologer Marc Edmund Jones in 1925. Together they form a sequence: a thirty-step arc through the territory Aries governs.

As a fire sign in the cardinal mode, ruled by Mars, Aries colours every image that falls in it — a charge of initiative and self-assertion — energy that moves before it explains itself.
