Azra’s Astrology: Aries the Ram

Humans have had millennia to really think about these signs and the different correlations to them. There’s so much that even the ones I am presenting aren’t even close to everything involved with the sign in question. There’s so much more like what body parts, what tarot card, flowers, crystals,  you get the idea. Use this as a jumping off point and do your own research. I am sure there’s a specific pizza associated with each of these signs too. So here we go. First on our list of zodiac signs is Aries.

It may shock you to know that while the constellation Aries has been around for a long time, those series of dots in the sky was not always viewed as a ram.  Before that, it was the image of a shepherd. Why it transformed from a shepherd into an animal is beyond me. As humans progressed, so did their myths of the constellations. Aries is a ram because of Hellenistic Greece where the stars were associated with the story of the golden fleece.

Let me give you the real deal with the people of this sign. They are the epitome of first-born children. They are fiercely independent and actually will get the stuff they set out to do done. They are honest to the point of rudeness and they have a short fuse which means that they are ready to throw down at the slightest provocation. Truly. You wanna fight someone? Call up an Aries and they will be happy to oblige.

You’ve been going through a lot lately. Too much for one person to handle on their own. Share your burden with your local bartender. They are the ones who truly care about you.
