1. ARIES - The Ram -  (Mar 21 - Apr 19)

Aries is the sign of the pioneer and leader. It is always impulsive, concentrated, and spontaneous. Act first and think about what you have done later. Rushing in where others fear to tread, the Aries energy is attention-getting. It always provokes a response from the surroundings, from others. There is something essential and instigative that starts or causes something else to happen -- a reaction or response.

Always accepting, mothering, providing a base for... a matrix or womb where growth takes place.
