The modern interpretation of symbols of Aries or Aries glyph likens it to the horns of a ram. In ancient interpretation, Symbols of Aries were depicted as the ram, head of Amun and Hunga (The Hired Hand).
The origin of the symbol...or glyph...for Aries is unknown. The symbol of the ram appeared for the first time in Ancient Egypt. It was depicted as the head of Amun, considered to be the leading deity whom all other gods followed. At that time, the head of a goose was also used to represent this Zodiac Sign, and the two symbols were often interchanged.
In the Babylonion Zodiac, Hunga (The Hired Hand) symbolized Aries. In Vedic Astrology, it is said to be symbolic of the upward flow of Spirit...as in a fountain...the universal consciousness in its creative aspect. It is also thought to be representative of a sprouting seed, from which germination results in the tree and fruit.
In its seed form, it is said to symbolize potentiality. As symbol of Aries appears to move upward then outward and finally downward, it signifies the ultimate sacrifice of Spirit in its descent into the Realms of Matter.

Detailed Aries Profile
Aries profile explains all that made up Aries Zodiac Sign.
You will learn about the Season, Ruling planet, Polarity, Zodiac quality, Zodiac
element and its influence on Aries individuals.
You will also be familiar with lucky gem, lucky number, lucky flower, lucky color and
lucky day associated to all born under the Zodiac Sign Aries.
Let’s look at Aries profile in detail:
The Season
Aries is the First Sign of the Zodiac, the point where it begins its cycle on the Vernal Equinox. Thus, it is the herald of the Astrological New Year. Aries is related to dawn, the Season of Spring, and the beginning of life.
Influence of Spring on Aries Profile
Much like the Spirit of Spring, those born under Aries are forever looking forward, never backward. In essence, Aries governs leadership and initiative, as well as using energy to make things happen.
Ruling Planet
Aries is dominated by the planet Mars. Mars represents the ability to act, with or without forethought, and is the protective reaction to threat, coupled with a reflexive reaction toward promise and opportunity. Mars is strength, vitality and the will to conquer.
Influence of Mars on Aries profile
Physical drive, energy and aggression are basic in the planetary influence of Mars and there is no stopping those with a Mars nature...which can be brave to the point of becoming foolhardy, unless tempered by other influences. Fortunately, this can be diverted. Attainment of a goal is often so important that other purposes can be shelved. Here, there is a fighting instinct that knocks down all obstacles, whether they be small or large.
Ruling House
Aries is the natural ruler of the First House of the Zodiac, commonly referred to as the "House of Self" and known in Vedic Astrology as the "Horoskopos" or "Helm." This is the field of experience in which an individual is challenged to develop his or her own unique personality and present it to the world.
Influence of the First House of the Zodiac on Aries Profile
Traditionally, the First House is associated with self and personal appearance...how an individual wishes to appear outwardly (with regard to both physical appearance and personal style, which may or may not be consistent with the inner self).
It is associated with look, moves, gestures, body language and how a person appears to others on a superficial or "first impression" level. Essentially, it is the projection of an individual's "image."
Zodiac Quality
Aries is a Cardinal Quality Sign.

Those who fall under the jurisdiction of a Cardinal Quality are intensely active and enthusiastic in their pursuit of life's experiences. Indeed, such natives are inclined to live life at a rather rapid, action-packed pace.
Zodiac Polarity
Aries is Positive in polarity (as are Gemini, Leo, Libra, Sagittarius and Aquarius).
Influence of Positive Polarity on Aries Profile
The general characteristics of Positive Signs broadly match those for the extrovert personality and such individuals are naturally more impulsive, buoyant, communicative and sociable than are the Zodiac Signs of Negative polarity (Taurus, Cancer, Virgo, Scorpio, Capricorn and Pisces).
Lucky number
The lucky number for Aries is nine (also known as the Novena). It is a number which Aries shares with those individuals born under the Sign of Scorpio. Nine is one of the three mystical numbers (the others being three and five), representing society and completion as well as symbolizing mankind, philanthropy, charity, social issues and government.
Lucky flower
The lucky flower for Aries is the geranium, the common name for some members of the Geraniaceae, a family of herbs and small shrubs native to temperate and subtropical regions. Wild geraniums are often referred to as crane's-bill or heron's-bill, due to the shape of their fruit.
Indoor geraniums and those found in florist shops are varieties of another group usually called stork's-bill. Geraniums are cultivated not only as an ornamental flower but alos for the aromatic oils extracted from their foliage and blossoms which are put to use in flavorings and perfumes. Its fragrance is similar to the scent of a rose, but less subtle. The name of this flower is derived from the Greek geranos, which means "crane."
Lucky color
The lucky color for Aries is crimson or deep red. It has a stimulating effect, but should be used with caution, otherwise it is irritating to the eye. If a person ever feels "off color," then he or she will find that they cannot bear to wear red. It also should not be worn when trying to patch up a quarrel or at any time when tact or compromise is required.
Other Favorable Colors: Pink - Orange - White - Yellow - Royal Blue - Navy Blue - Bright Brown - Variegated Colors
Unfavorable Colors: Green - Grey - Faded Colors
Lucky gem
The lucky gemstone of an individual is truly associated with the month of birth rather than the Zodiac Sign under which a person was born.
The lucky gem for Aries individuals born in March is the bloodstone.
The bloodstone, an opaque green jewel with flecks of red (resulting from iron oxides), has been called the Stone of Courage, Vitality and Iron-Clad Strength, aiding an individual to focus on the energy of the heart.
The lucky gem for Aries individuals born in April is the diamond.
Traditionally, this jewel is the symbol of purity and innocence, considered to be most lucky when worn on the left side of the body. It represents strength, virtue, bravery, fearlessness, invincibility and insight, bestowing these fine attributes upon its wearers.
Lucky day
The lucky day for those who fall under the jurisdiction of Aries is Tuesday. The origin of this day derives from Norse Mythology and Tiw or Tyr, God of War.
