Planets in Aries

Moon

An Aries Moon produces highly assertive subconscious reactions. Emotions and responses are expressed swiftly, enthusiastically, and bluntly, sometimes with irritation or aggression. The subject responds to life as though it was an adventure. They have a strong underlying drive for success that is associated with their emotional nature. The Moon creates a person who is open to new ideas and one who is highly self-motivated. They make quick decisions and act immediately without reflection. They have an active mind, and what they are thinking is often quickly verbalised.

Extremely competitive, they tend to see just about everything as a challenge and everyone as an opponent. It can be hard for them to give in on anything and compromise is generally not an option. Oddly enough though, when it comes to a romantic partner, they will often insist on someone who is not shy about standing up to them.

They can be emotionally detached from the people around them, and can be somewhat reluctant to ask for help, even when they need it. This makes them very independent. They don't care much for advice, and rarely follow the advice they are given. To a degree, Moon in Aries hides a sense of insecurity behind an independent and assertive exterior.

Mercury

Mercury in Aries promotes ways of thinking that are decisive and to the point. Speech and communication is bold, fearless and sharp. They can be argumentative and hot-tempered, and they may become impatient with opponents or opposition. Attention is easily ignited but concentration span is short. They can jump to conclusions quickly and with little hesitation.

They love creating new ideas and intellectual adventures, and have some highly original thinking. They are also witty and usually very quick on the uptake, coming up with a clever answer to any question.

Venus

Venus in Aries produces an assertive self-expression in romantic situations. They are fun and exciting, and to more timid souls, a bit overwhelming. In attracting a lover, they are direct, and full of adventure and enthusiasm. They love ardently and recklessly and enjoys the chase, but tires of routine relationships quickly.

They appreciate speed and constant stimulation in most activities, and don't take enough time to make long range plans or for truly needed practical considerations. Sometimes, they may not have a deep understanding of other people's feelings.

Mars

Mars is at its strongest in Aries, its natural sign. Physical and sexual energy is expressed assertively or aggressively. Sporting outlets release tension which could otherwise result in anger or violence.

Their enthusiasm is contagious, and they have an unrestricted drive to get projects done, to start new projects and to act decisively. They tend to be individualists and are not good at compromise or teamwork. If they are in a group, they will aspire to be the leader.

Jupiter

Jupiter in Aries indicates leadership ability and assertiveness. They are energetic and enterprising, possessing much self-esteem, although there is a tendency, however, to be a little too overconfident and careless where money and business is concerned. They are a natural student and practitioner of higher matters such as philosophy, education and spirituality.

Saturn

Saturn in Aries may cause delays in the development of energies and drive in life. It can limits or control assertiveness, impulsiveness, and enthusiasm while teaching the subject how to exercise more tolerance and patience. This placement often produces people who won't take chances and are, therefore, viewed at times as being somewhat weak. Being assertive can make them feel anxious.

Uranus

Uranus in Aries often produces people who want to assert their independence, and or prompt changes in society. They will often be impetuous, dynamic and somewhat self-absorbed.
