The Art of Aries

Aries, Mars, Spring, Cardinal

As we get ready to leave a Pisces stellium with the Sun joining Mars and Uranus in Aries, let's explore art with Aries themes.  And who are Aries exactly? Pioneers, warriors, athletes, risk-takers, fools for loves, troubadours and knights who chase after unrequited lovers, children, infants, fighters, and those people who can muster the courage to speak their truth.  While Joan of Arc wasn't an Aries, she had a warrior spirit coupled with a visionary one.  Saint Francis of Assisi was born under the sign of Libra, but his act of turning away from society and following his heart could only be called an Aries act.

In the spirit of Aries and as we welcome new energy with the Spring Equinox in the northern hemisphere, here are movies, cartoons, and other scenarios that explore Aries spirit.  And as astrology expert Mark Husson told his listeners of his HayHouse Radio show, Peek Hour, "Everyone has Aries somewhere in their chart."  Look where you go your own way in the spirit of adventure or where you feel comfortable taking risks.  Life's an adventure.
