Sun in Aries Aries - I act Pioneering spirit, adventurous, and forceful. Aries energy - motivated by inspiration and aspiration - is ready for encounter! The Sun placed in the element of Fire is warm, vital, vivacious, cheerful, and loyal to whatever happens to hold its interest. Fire energy craves freedom and opportunity... a steady stream of opportunity for new experiences. Fire energy can be assertive, competitive, ambitious and full of confidence for the future. Fire energy learns best when actively engaging and grabbing hold of life. Fire loves adventure and hates routine! To be potent and active is a key self-concept for Aries. With the Sun in Aries, this fiery, energetic attitude may have been the way your child perceived the image of his/her father (or another significant male figure) when still in the early stages of childhood. Of all the fire signs, Aries is the most outgoing (and impulsive). Ruled by the planet Mars (the Roman god of War), Aries energy is the most restless fire sign. Aries needs to be up and doing, Aries is quick to take action, initiative, and to get things rolling - but Aries really doesn't do very well when being cast in the role of being responsible for "the long haul" and/or seeing things through to a conclusion. (It’s better to leave that sort of thing to a nice dependable Capricorn or Virgo.) Children learning to live out the fuller potential contained within Aries may be energetic, buoyant, enthusiastic and warm. As babies, Aries can be incredibly impatient and agressive. When reaching toddlerhood - they will want to explore absolutely everything independently. They will resent their freedom being restricted or curtailed. One more thing? I'm pretty sure the saying, "Look before you leap!" was referring specifically to the Sun in Aries. Watch for a tendency toward minor accidental head injuries and headaches. Sharing The Same Element You and your child share the same basic core Element. This beneficial placement means the two of you share in many of the same styles of thinking, communicating, relating, and feeling. Sharing the same Element will help out a lot in the two of you truly having a mutual empathy and mutual understanding of the other person's needs. Of course, having this same element doesn't guarantee smooth sailing all the time - because it also means the two of you understand each other well enough to effectively "push each other's buttons." Resist the temptation whenever possible. Sharing A Complementary Element You and your child share what's called a Complementary Element. What this beneficial placement means is that while the two you don't share of the same styles of thinking, communicating, and relating - the two of you do have the great benefit of understanding another and respecting the different ways in which the other person thinks, communicates, and relates. Sharing a complementary Element will help out in the two of you truly having mutual empathy for one another and a mutual understanding of the other person Sharing A Challenging Element
You and your child share what's called a Challenging Element. This means the two of you may be very different and at cross purposes in your individual styles of thinking, communicating, and relating. The bond of love shared between a parent and their child is, of course, a given. That bond will naturally help in smoothing out many of the rough spots. However, at times, the two of you may have to be prepared to put out extra effort in working toward truly understanding one another and developing mutual appreciation of the other person's differences. Sharing An Unrelated Aspect You and your child share what's sometimes called an elementally unrelated or Quincunx Aspect. This means the two you will have times when both of you can "read each other like a book" and understand one another perfectly - but then there will be equally many other times when the two of you are at a complete impasse. The bond of love shared between a parent and their child is, of course, a given. That natural bond will go a long way toward smoothing out the rough spots. However, swinging back and forth between "perfect understanding" and "not having a clue" can end up having the effect of keeping your relationship slightly uneasy and on edge. So... as your child grows older, the two of you may have to be prepared to put out some extra effort in working toward truly understanding one another and developing mutual appreciation of the other person's differences. Sharing A Semi-sextile Aspect You and your child share what's sometimes called a Semi-sextile Aspect. This beneficial aspect means the two you will usually enjoy each other and and have empathy for how the person thinks and acts - even though the two of you will seldom "have a clue" about why the other persons thinks the way they do or why they do the things they do. Relax and enjoy it. Not everything in this world is logical. |
