HOROSCOPE<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Aries is under the planetary rule of Mars, but as you were born in the third Decan, or part, of the sign, you also receive a generous helping of Jupiter’s planetary power. While it is the power of Mars that is responsible for your assertiveness, action and vigor, it is the special influence of Jupiter that contributes to your optimism, generosity and desire for truth. More so than any of the Aries Decans, your planetary influence makes you interested in learning. Throughout life you may delve into many topics, such as philosophy or religion. Although you may have the mind of the dreamer, you also have a passion for the finer things in life. Your greatest challenge will be overcoming the unrealistic sides of your optimism, so take time to consider the realistic consequences of your actions. In love, find a partner that does not take advantage of your optimistic and generous nature, but shares in your passion for life.<\/p>\n
