Aries

March 20 at 02:46 PM — April 20 at 01:39 AM

The Sun does not enter Aries at the same moment every year. Across the years covered here the boundary moves by 34.7 hours, landing on day 20/21 of the month depending on the year — which is why a fixed table names the wrong sign for some people.

About Aries

Astrological tradition associates Aries with beginnings, impulse, and direct action. As a cardinal fire sign, its expression is characterised by an immediate, outward release of force, initiating cycles rather than sustaining them. The influence of its traditional ruler, Mars, aligns the sign with qualities of assertion, courage, and occasional impatience. Traditional accounts connect this sector of the ecliptic with the instinct to lead, the pursuit of individual objectives, and a preference for straightforward confrontation. It represents the primal spark of consciousness, where the desire for self-actualisation overrides deliberation, favouring rapid, decisive movement over long-term planning.
