Meaning
Aries is cardinal fire. Cardinal signs open each season and begin things. Its traditional ruler is Mars, which acts most freely here; the planet that rules the opposite sign, Libra, is in detriment. Medieval medicine assigned it the head and face, the basis of the zodiac-man diagrams in old almanacs.
Practice
Workings that suit Aries are timed with the Moon or Sun in the sign and opened in the hour of Mars. Contemplate The Emperor as its gate in the tarot.
