About Aries
Aries covers Mar 21 – Apr 19. It is the first sign of the zodiac, a fire sign in the cardinal group. Cardinal signs open a season. The Sun enters Aries at the March equinox, by the Northern Hemisphere calendar.
Mars is the traditional ruler of Aries, and each daily reading names it for you. Mars rules two signs, Aries and Scorpio, and takes about 687 days to orbit the Sun.
A sun-sign reading is the same for everyone born under Aries. A chart drawn for your birth date, time and place is a different, narrower thing. Foresight, not fate.
