Aries is the first sign of the zodiac and the natural home of raw, untested initiative. Ruled by Mars, it's a movable fire sign — movable because it starts a season, fire because its energy is immediate rather than sustained. In the body, Aries governs the head and face, which is part of why classical texts associate it with impulsiveness: action here happens before deliberation catches up.

A planet placed in Aries tends to express itself directly and quickly, for better or worse — there's little patience for a slow build. Aries corresponds to the direction East and carries a masculine (odd-sign) classification in classical texts. As the 1st sign, it sets the tone for the entire zodiac wheel that follows it: action first, refinement later.
