This sign represents undifferentiated consciousness. It is a chaotic and unorganised sign, in which impulse, spontaneity, and instinctiveness are marked features. Its vibrations are the keenest and most rapid, but without what may be called definite purpose, except towards impulsiveness and disruption. It signifies explosiveness, extravagance, and all kinds of excess. Its influence is more directly connected with the animal kingdom, in which life is full and without the directive power of fully awakened self-consciousness. It is a sign of force, combat, strength, energy and vigour. Its tendencies are always diffusive, periphrastic, superabundant, changeful and digressive. Its natives are enthusiastic, pioneering, ambitious, militant, enterprising, independent, assertive, and self-willed. The influence of Aries needs the steadying and controlling power of the fixed signs in order to make it practical and bring it within bounds. When blended in this way it is greatly improved. When combined with the common signs it is less practical and methodical than with the fixed but is very rapid, comprehensive, and subtle. Its most distinguising characteristic is activity, with a desire to be at the head, and to command. It is the sign of ambition, and projective energy.
