Meaning:
The first decan of Aries introduces an unmitigated, initiatory energy. The onset of Aries marks the beginning of a new cycle and the emergence of individual differentiated awareness, where self is experienced and understood in relation to other. Through raw power, individuality is first asserted through conflict and separation. The past is cut away and the unfiltered assertion of will dynamically presses nature to conform with its pattern. This decan represents the moment the individual fights to stand alone and face the world as an independent force, severing oneself from the collective and establishing sovereignty.
Decanic Rulership: Mars
Mars brings an unapologetic assertion of dominance, a drive to carve an independent path through existence without hesitation and a strength in quickly identifying and resolving problems. Those born with this placement have an unshakable sense of self-determination but may struggle with cooperation or patience. This placement favors warriors and pioneers. It represents the energy of beginnings, where the past is cut away and the future is shaped by sheer force of will.
Myths:
This decan is associated with myths about martial conquest, the unrelenting drive to establish oneself and accomplish incredible feats, oftentimes at great cost.
