Aries natal chart

Aries in a natal chart is cardinal fire: a style of beginning. If Aries is your Sun sign, it describes a core drive toward the first honest move. If it is your rising sign, it describes how you arrive. If a planet other than the Sun sits in Aries, that planet's function — speech, desire, work — takes on Aries heat.

An Aries birth chart is not a permission to be careless, and it is not a complete personality. The rest of the planets, houses, and aspects decide whether that heat becomes courage, impatience, leadership, or a life that never gets a second draft.
