TRUE ARIES: APRIL 15- |
Tweet
Watch the head, please
Mars is the sign for action, for war, and if anything, it makes even the nicest Aries impatient and insensitive. War is the normal state of affairs. Mars rulership is like being in a Fight Club: Many Aries have scars from head injuries, since, in battle, they lead with their heads. Yet their belligerence is almost cast in the pure light of forward motion. In their single mindedness of purpose, Aries weakness must be protected by a preemptive strike. There is no destination, no direction for Aries vigor; the fighting itself is the Aries Tao. After the victory, of course, comes sex, money, power—the just rewards and spoils of war!
By nature: rampant fire
The perfect warriors, they never quit, never say die, and don't like people who do. Aries hate (other) whiners. Aries make a great ally in war. Whose side are they on, though? There is also a querulous, angry streak in Aries, much admired in male Aries but detested in females. In men, it's called professionalism, female Aries are called bitches for exercising these same prerogatives. All aggression requires air and fuel, and Aries will make a brilliant bonfire of the egos of others. No other sign personifies the qualities of fire, in all its wonderful fearsome purity, as the Aries.
Mars the God of Thunder
The most amazing astronomical new is that Mars is like a lightning rod of electricity, a planet that once sent plasmic thunderbolts at Earth, scattering pieces of Martian rock upon it and terrifying ancient humans—who retreated to caves and drew on the walls what they were seeing in the sky, a Mars discharging electrical energy, blasting the earth's surface with meteors and destruction.
The wrong sign for sympathy
Don’t expect pity, sympathy or empathy from an Aries, if your Aries is sympathizing, it's for a reason, not understanding or caring—go to a sidereal Pisces for that. You don't want Aries pity, anyway, it just makes it worse, and will just justify more Aries brutality. Cowardice must be eradicated and Aries does not rule out coercion, attack and genocide. Their Spartan-Martian ruler makes Aries a hard nut to crack, not to mention a bellicose and vocal lover, who will push you away when they need help the most and then guilt trip you for your failure to communicate. It often happens that anger or resentment from others doesn't register on most Aries until it's too late, and things have been ruined.
Aries Factoid: Pity from an Aries is worse than their contempt
Leading with the head
Is it universally true that Aries will have a head-scar? Even if that’s not true, Aries will lead with the forehead; they are in constant stance to give you a painful head butt if you contradict them. It is no wonder they cause injury to it. Aries heads are not only violence prone, as an extremity, the scalp and facial complexions can also serve as a septic tank into which Aries pump all their sweat and offal, leaving behind a mantle of acne and injured or burned tissue as the result. The more anxiety they process, the more explosive is their skin.
Vitamins and minerals
What causes bad skin? Bad kidneys! Aries must scour out their gunky systems constantly with a regular system of lots of A&D, (fish liver oil) and all-natural d-alpha tocopherol vitamin E. The vitamin E can be used as a skin moisturizer, protector and healer. When Aries’ fuel gauge falls to zero, take the B-complex vitamins, especially B5, B6 and B12. Their is new evidence that B12 is a lot more important in cell construction then was thought. For peak energy days, peak vitamin intake; forget “minimum”; find your own “optimum” requirement. Top it all off with a powdered calcium- magnesium cocktail before bed for tranquil thoughts.
Problem: physical dissonance
Illness is weakness to the Aries. They won’t acknowledge they are sick until they are practically dying. They are so insensitive they never listen to the danger signals from their own bodies, and when they do respond, it's with anger, and will submit to ghoulish remedies that experts promise will bring a quick recovery, and not allow their own healing systems to kick in and save the day.
To the bold go the bounty
Every Aries is a born leader and pioneer, and throughout their lives, the more they are thwarted, the more frustrated and angry they get. Aries, like Hercules’ foe, Antaeus, gets knocked down only to to rise again ready to continue the fight, only madder. Aries wins the fight by pure effrontery. When bravery and boldness is required, call upon an Aries to forge the path.
The downside: insensitivity
When you are bashing down obstacles, or jumping from one precipice to a higher one, you just don’t have time for the niceties. Too bad.
No whining
Although haters of whiners, Aries can complain with the best of them, usually setting forth an unassailable front. They are compiling lists of grievances even during sex. Aries need time to size others up. At first, they play at subservience. Aries learn early that they can manipulate the minds of weaklings, and their self-appointed task is to ferret out the sissy in all of us. Aries will lull a superior enemy into complaisance, then strike with full force on an unsuspecting foe. When beaten, however, Aries changes their tune, becomes apologetic—even sycophantic, in a continual cycle of injury and reaction, until they can find a means to usurp and destroy their tormentor.
Food: cooked by others
Aries favorite food is what other people prepare for them, they are gourmands and gulpers, they just like it hot and quick. Food addiction is a major problem: all those sweets and snacks will fill up an empty Aries with even emptier carbs and fats. The stomach is a micro-chemical factory where bacteria toil 24/7 to transform nutrients into molecular food for your entire body, every organ, every cell. If you starve, poison or kill those little coli critters by mistake or with antibiotics, your entire body will start to rot away right under your nose.
It’s not easy to repopulate your stomach with the same high quality workers, either. Only whole grains can provide the ideal gruel they need, so, keep your friendly stomach peeps hard at work digesting your food by providing them with whole grains every day. Brown rice, quinoa, millet, barley, amaranth—the more genetically ancient the better—so use short grain rice, for example. If you really want to treat your stomach right, be your own best friend, you should start every meal with a cup of fresh, miso soup.
Be careful what you ask for…
Aries are inveterate doers, not deep thinkers. Prevaricating is not an Aries problem, but relaxing is; Aries need sleep time, nap time, down time. For best results, Aries should share this time with a protégé. Aries need to talk about themselves. They don’t want your opinion, they just want to let you know how busy they are. But this is the fundamental Aries problem: they don’t know where they are going; with the head down in full forward charge mode, it’s hard to look ahead, and Aries also needs someone to watch their back.
Aries want you to follow them; you must reflect their absolute confidence back or you become the enemy, a nay-sayer. Does Aries really want a bunch of yes-men around? No, they want other stalwart warriors around them, The 300 would ne nice. But you all have to be prepared to die in flames if and when things go south. The trick for everyone is to somehow share the faith in victory.
