The Aries Love Mystery

The soul, symbolically newborn in Aries (although not necessarily in its first
earthly sojourn), relates to dawn, sunrise, spring and Easter - or the resurrection
from its "death" in the previous sign of Pisces.
In this first excursion into the Fire Element - this experience as the first of
the three Cardinal signs - the symbolically "newborn" soul projects the positive,
masculine vibration of the Day Forces through the explosive vitality of the
Aries planetary ruler, Mars. Like a human infant totally self-absorbed, the
Aries soul discovers with delight his or her own toes and fingers - its own physical
beingness. To satisfy all needs, only a loud cry is necessary, heard and answered
instantly by elders. The real infant doubts or fears nothing or no one,
simply because it has never experienced denial. Likewise, the Aries "Infant"
soul has a natural trust and a touching faith in the unseen force of goodness
which will miraculously grant all its wishes.
On the Earth plane this beneficent force is represented by the parents; in a
mystical sense, by our co-Creators. And so they look tenderly upon the "newborn"
Aries soul, as parents look tenderly upon their infant, lovingly protecting
it from its own naivete, wisely denying some of the demands made through the
excited awareness that the soul is - he has been born, and is here. The Aries
soul senses: "I AM" or "I exist." And like the symbolic Infant, Aries men and
women are oblivious to the possibilities of accident, pain or cruelty on life's
path. He or she learns of these negative experiences only from those advanced
beyond, who have gathered harshness, suspicion and the self-survival instinct
from the growing process.
There's a religious adage that all infants, since they die in a state of purity,
immediately become angels. Of course! They have not yet met the devil of
Temptation. But if the Aries "Infant" survives, he or she must, like the real infant,
time and time again, undergo the sharp disappointment of misplaced trust.
As the victim of unkindness, a lack of sympathy or abandonment, the newborn
babe feels shocked, frightened, alone - then yells even louder for attention. In
the same manner (and for the same reasons) does the soul of the hurt and disillusioned
Aries man or woman need and "seek acceptance, yet court rejection" -
with a violent emotional reaction to neglect.

The positive qualities of Aries are a heart-tugging innocence and wonder,
blind faith and raw courage. Expressed in their negative forms, they can become
selfish egotism, thoughtlessness, aggressiveness and impulsive action with
no regard for the consequences.
To the Aries soul, Love is a necessity of life, which is taken for granted; for
in it's infancy of awareness, Love is synonymous with existence itself. Therefore,
devotion is instinctively expected and joyously accepted, but with little
comprehension of how to return it. Aries demands Love, for like the infant,
without Love, Aries dies. When emotional abandonment (symbolically) can
mean death, even the hint of it can bring on unreasonable panic, and inexplicable
terror, calmed only by repeated reassurances. Aries continually needs to be
reminded that "if winter comes" the miracle of spring cannot be far behind.
