Headaches and sinus or eye problems are the usual physical complaints of this position. This Ascendant often gives a rather swift walk, with the head leaning forward slightly. It colors your personal approach to the world and your attitude towards new beginnings. The position of Mars by house, sign, and aspect in your chart has a strong bearing on how and where you direct your Aries rising energies. In fact, Mars takes on more importance in your chart because Mars rules your rising sign. Finishing things you start does not always come as easily, unless your rising sign ruler, Mars, is placed in a more tenacious sign, such as Taurus or Scorpio. One of your many strengths lies in your enterprising ways. You love action, and you’re often found attempting to stir up some activity. Your mannerisms are rather simple and straightforward. Rarely do you hold grudges (unless you have a strong eighth house, Pluto, or Scorpio presence in your chart). In fact, you thrive on putting the past behind you and moving on. You get ready quickly, walk quickly, and have little patience for dilly-dallying. You love to come out ahead in virtually all you do. You may be competitive, but it’s more about putting pressure on yourself to be FIRST. At the same time, there is rarely malice in your intent. You have a youthful, direct manner that sees what it wants and goes for it. Impatience can certainly be a vice, but you don’t have much trouble taking on something new, and others admire your courageous and enterprising nature. You are forthright but not necessarily aggressive. You don’t always plan ahead - more often than not, you charge forward without much ado, preferring to deal with issues as they arise. Your first instinct is to do, rather than think. With an Aries Ascendant, you are direct and quick. How we begin new projects and our attitude towards new experiences come under the rule of the Ascendant. The Ascendant also shows our first impressions of the world around us and our expectations of same –whether we are naturally hesitant or enthusiastic, for example. It reveals our natural and personal defense mechanisms that we use to adapt to – and cope with – our environment. It can be the mask or costume we wear to greet the world. It represents our physical appearance, our physical bodies and overall health, and the body ego.
