Aries’s have the blessing and the curse of an intense drive to prove themselves a worthy opponent to anyone paying attention. This can cause great rewards when what is needed is a passionate person to the rescue.
But the problem with this level of intensity is that it is really hard to stay the course with this much fire in the belly. So the Aries person becomes easily bored and moves on to the next great adventure, leaving unfinished business behind them.
This can leave Aries feeling like they are constantly coming in to save the day for the others that can’t seem to start anything fresh and new.
Aries is the sign of the pioneer and the daredevil. They have been born with a level of stress that asks them to scare themselves sometimes in order to build continued courage.
When a Aries lives their highest self, they are the thrill-seeker, the initiator and the most passionate one in the room. They are here to learn how to engage in life to its fullest with pizazz.
When a Aries lives their lowest self, they border on selfishness, irritability and impatience. They will believe that what they want for themselves is good for them and good for everyone around them.
Aries needs to learn how to listen to the desires of others and compromise sometimes, just because it’s the kind thing to do.
Aries is ruled by Mars in the zodiac, the planet of war and action. Mars brings a level of initiative that is compared to none. You want new beginnings? Mars is your man to hire!
The areas of the body most associated with Aries are everything in the head. After all, Aries is a ram. All the structures in the head have significance to Aries; the brain, the cranial bones, the jaw, sinuses, nose, mouth, eyes and ears.
Common problems that Aries experiences are eye strain, migraines and other kinds of headaches, sinusitis, tooth and gum problems, and being prone to accidents or injuries.
Whatever Aries can do to stay the course is the appropriate medicine. It’s wonderful to be able to commence on numerous projects with the ability to role model a fresh start. But completing that work is a challenge for Aries but could bring them wonderful benefits down the way.
Aries says “I am” and could be encouraged to do things that help out their immune systems, their brains and their endurance levels. They are a fire sign and they burn hot. They are prone to high fevers. It’s important for Aries to find ways to relax their central nervous system. Massage, biofeedback and herbs like Kava Kava can help with this. Also Aries needs to be allowed to individuate. They should be doing the scary things, that scare them. This doesn’t mean bungie jumping but it could. It could also mean standing up in front of the room and giving a speech, or traveling to a place with no real agenda but to “wing it.”
It can be challenging for a weakened Aries to keep their anger in check. This is why it’s so important that they have permission to let off a little steam.
Off the top of my head, The Herbalist’s Choice, formulated at The Herbalist, comes to mind for Aries Medicine. It is an herbal formula that promotes overall health using American Ginseng as well as Gingko, both promoting immune system boost as well as brain health.
Aries cures include burning up the continued energy that they are famous for. Competitive sports, aerobic exercise, and physical activity will help with this every day. And it will keep the aggressive and angry tendencies of a weakened Aries at bay.
