Zodiac signs Origin<\/b><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

The story of the Zodiac signs and astrology, in general, is a very interesting one. The sun sign in western astrology originated from Babylonians. The current form of Astrology is somewhat similar to the one they invented. There is a saying, \u201cas above, so below\u201d, in Greek Astrology. It means that the positioning and movement of (\u201cabove\u201d) celestial bodies are connected to the behaviours of (\u201cbelow\u201d) humans. According to records in the Babylonian calendar, there were 12 months in a year. Therefore, the twelve Zodiacs were assigned to each month. This was the origin of the now-known 12 Zodiacs.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Element of Aries- Fire\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

The year is a wheel of seasons where spring represents the first season. The first sun sign, Aries, denotes the beginning of the spring season<\/a><\/span><\/strong>. Aries governs the period from March 21 to April 19. While people get excited for the warm time of the year, this season is also ideal for planting and harvesting. Those born under this sign proudly wear their rusty nature; they believe in themselves and are confident<\/a><\/span>.<\/strong> The fire sign blesses us with the gift of light and life. <\/span>\"Capricorn<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Characteristics of Aries<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

The first zodiac sign in order is Aries. People born between March 21st to April 19th are Aries. They are considered the most childlike but in the best way possible. Aries have a charm which attracts the attention of the entire room. They are energetic and quick-witted. Aries is always looking out for some adventure in every stage of their life. It is always fun to be around Aries because they will be up for doing anything. In addition, these people are the life of the party. When you are around an Aries, you will always feel their loud personality and contagious joy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The spring period<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

\"Capricorn<\/a>The period of the fiery sign starts during the springtime, as its essence is a pure portrayal of pristine and new life. The people born under this sign<\/a><\/span><\/strong> have the aptitude to be born leaders, and they genuinely resonate with the essence of their sun sign. As the sun is the head of the solar system, they also like to be the head of the environment in which they are. Aries also have a bossy nature. However, these individuals are not dirty players. These people know what they want, how they want it, and what they should do to get what they desire. They want to be challenged and compete with others for fun and an ego boost.\u00a0<\/a><\/strong>
\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Mars as its planet<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

The planet Mars rules Aries. According to Roman mythology<\/a>,<\/span><\/strong> Mars is the god of war and agriculture, whereas Mars represents energy, sexual desires, and survival instincts in astrology. Mars being the ruling planet makes Aries a courageous leader. These people are like an open book. Aries people possess passion and have solid<\/a> <\/span><\/strong>steel-like personalities. So, they never shy away from a good challenge and are powerful individuals.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Not just the planet Mars, but even the lord Mars is quite efficient at getting what he wants. So, its only fair to expect that the people under this sign are headstrong and strong willed.<\/span><\/p>\n
