About
Aries is one of the six positive signs, one of the four cardinal signs, and one of the three fire signs, along with Leo and Sagittarius. “House of one’s own” or “sign of one’s own” are terms used to describe Aries, the first sign of the zodiac. People born under the sign of Aries are Aries. The opposite of Aries is Libra and this zodiac sign is represented by the color red.
History
The sign of Aries comes from the constellation Aries, which lies between Pisces in the west and Taurus in the east. Its symbol is a ram, inspired by Chrysomallus, the winged ram from Greek mythology who rescued Phrixus and Helle. The 1948 film The Sign of the Ram, starring Susan Peters, was named after Aries. The planet Mars rules Aries. In the Hindu solar calendar, Aries is known as Mesha.
