Aries is the first sign in the Zodiac, perhaps why they are always the first to take action in any situation.
Aries, those born between March 21 and April 19, are symbolized by the golden-fleeced ram. Individuals under this sign are typically dynamic, passionate, pioneering in their work and relationships.
The golden-fleeced ram
The Myth of Aries
"According to Greek mythology, the king of Boeotia, Athamas, had a son, Phrixus, and a daughter, Helle, with his first wife, Nephele - the daughter of the cloud goddess. Like other kings enchanted by beauty, when tired of his wife, Athamas banished Nephele to marry Ino, the daughter of Cadmus, the king of Thebes.
Jealous of Nephele's children, Ino sought to secure her own children as heirs to the throne. At that time, corn was the main crop of the country. Ino made the corn fail to germinate by roasting it before sowing, and she also bribed the royal prophet to lie that Nephele's two children were the source of danger, and that the children had to be sacrificed to the gods to restore the fertility of the land.
To save the kingdom, Athamas followed Ino's advice. Luckily, Nephele sent a guardian, a ram with a fleece of gold called Aries, a gift from Zeus to her. On the day of sacrifice, the ram carried Phrixus and Helle on its back, fleeing from Greece, flying across the sea. Unfortunately, Helle fell to her death at a strait (the place where she died is called Hellespont). Phrixus survived and was taken by the ram to the distant Asian kingdom of Colchis. The king and queen of Colchis were childless and received him as their adopted son. When he grew up, Phrixus married the princess of the Colchian kingdom, Chalciope."

The Personality of Aries
Aries individuals are independent and decisive; they often prefer to work alone and engage in individual sports. This personality trait is inherited from their ruling planet - Mars - which carries a strong masculine energy, driving them to take action.
Despite their decisiveness, Aries are also surprisingly trusting. Zeus gave them a lamb's heart, an innocent heart through which they always perceive the world as a place full of wonders. Bringing joy to others is the purpose of Aries' life. They believe that life holds countless miracles, and they delight in sharing those wonders.
Aries are true trailblazers. Confidence and dynamism are their ways to win favor from others. They are always ready to face challenges, ignoring immediate difficulties.
Aries are explosive and often act on instinct, so they sometimes make silly mistakes because of their impetuosity. They have a high sense of independence and are occasionally considered to be self-centered. However, in reality, Aries are very friendly, kind, and generous. Aries is compatible with Sagittarius.
Colors Suitable for Aries
Aries is symbolized by the fire element, through their inherent explosive, passionate nature. Therefore, they are suited to warm colors such as red, orange.
Stones with red or orange hues are a suitable choice: ruby or Madagascar pink quartz for ladies, and red jasper for ram gentlemen."
