Aries the Ram (March 21 to April 20) is called the first sign of the Zodiac. We think of the beginning of the year as January, because that’s the start of the new calendar year. But this is the Zodiac year, remember, and is governed by matters more celestial than mundane! March 21 is the Spring equinox, which signifies the beginning of the Zodiac year. And when you think about it, this makes sense. Spring is the time of renewal and rebirth.
If you are born under this sign, you can tend to have the same traits as a young ram. Enthusiastic, adventurous, forthright and energetic. You’re courageous and confident. You could be a little impulsive though, right. Maybe something of a daredevil. Where the world be though, without daredevils, willing to strike out and do something completely different. Leonardo da Vinci is one of the most famous Aries ever born. Think of some other famous Arians, such as Thomas Jefferson, Booker T. Washington, Francis Ford Coppola, Jane Goodall and Marlon Brando. None of them afraid to break new ground; all of them changed the world or their chosen fields in some way.
People born under the Aries sign are passionate lovers and intense friends. They risk driving people away with their intensity and need partners that can match them without fueling the fire and creating explosive situations.
Arians make good doctors, athletes and explorers. This isn’t to say that people born under the sign of the Ram are all action, though. They have a softer, lamb-like side as well and if you’re an Aries, make sure you draw on this side of yourself as well when dealing with other people. You may have difficulty in certain jobs, because you’re an idea person and the person to get things started rather than finish them up. Surround yourself with people who can supplement these traits and you’re sure to be a success.

Aquarius
Were you born under the sign of Aquarius. What a compassionate and generous person you are. And did you know that there really is an Age of Aquarius. It wasn’t just a songwriter’s concept in the musical, Hair. Just as there are individual zodiac signs, so are the eras of human history divided into 2000-year segments of what’s called the Great Year. We just left the age of Pisces, which began at the beginning of the Christian era until the year 2000. It was a time marked by fluid changes in politics and governments. Pisces, of course, is the sign of the Fish, the symbol of Christianity.
We are now in the age of Aquarius, but only just in the dawn of it, like the song said. All the wonderful, generous characteristics of the Water Bearer are not yet symbolic of humanity as a whole yet, as evidenced by the current turmoil in the Middle East. But there are signs. Remember the Random Acts of Kindness. Perhaps those were a harbinger of the Age of Aquarius.
If YOU are an Aquarian, then you were born between January 20 and February 18. You are a humanitarian and more intelligent than most and given to thoughts of how to make the world a better place. You can be inventive and original, and you’re freedom-loving. You’re generous with your thoughts, whether people are interested or not! You can be eccentric and idiosyncratic, and need a lot of space, but your heart is nearly always in the right place.
Who’s the right partner for the highly intelligent and quirky Aquarian. Someone who can appreciate their generous qualities and share their beliefs. Someone who is willing to explore and grow with them. An Aquarian will be happiest with someone who is open-minded, who is warm and understanding and willing to be a helpmate. While that may be the ideal for just about anyone, it’s especially important for an Aquarian to be able to have a partner who will share their passion for creating a better world and their generous nature.

History of Chinese Zodiac Signs
Regarded as one of the oldest civilizations, Chinese civilization has flourished not only because of its rich heritage but also because of its tradition and beliefs. Today, things related to Chinese culture are regarded as the ultimate accessory for a healthy lifestyle. Effect of the dragon on global socio-economic scenario can be estimated from the fact that Reiki, Tai-Chi and Kung-Fu are the best known practices for a healthy body and soul. While the popularity of Chinese food has already taken the world by storm, the reputation of Chinese astrology is also second to none. In this article, we will have a brief study of the history behind Chinese astrology and learn about Chinese zodiac signs in detail.
Astrology began around 3000 years ago in ancient Egypt and Babylonia but travelled far and wide to finally reach the different corners of the world. Being accepted and used for centuries, many civilisations started cultivating their own forms of astrology which resulted in the creation of different streams of astrology. Chinese astrology and Chinese zodiac symbols were initially used by Chinese astrologists to foresee future of kings and merchants but were soon accepted by people of other classes also. If you have been familiar with Chinese astrology, you may have noticed the use of twelve animals in Chinese zodiac. An ancient story of the jade king and twelve animals tells the reason behind the twelve animals used in Chinese zodiac.
Chinese Zodiac – The story
Once, when the jade king was thinking about earth, he suddenly realised that there were no representatives of the animal kingdom in his court. Deciding that it is necessary for earths’ animals to be represented by their own kind, the jade king wrote some invitations for 12 specific animals and sent them to earth. While every animal got his invitation, the rat was given two invitations, the first for himself and the other for the cat. Being a tricky and smart character, the rat never gave the invitation to the cat. Even though it is said that it was this incident that started the rivalry between the cat and the rat, the story of the twelve zodiac signs does not end here.
After receiving the invitation, all the other 11 animals gave an appearance at the king’s court but the twelfth animal was nowhere to be found. After finding that an animal was missing, a messenger was sent to the earth to for finding another animal to take cats’ place. Pig was the last animal to be given the invitation. At last, the court of jade king consisted of twelve animals namely, rat, ox, tiger, dragon, dog, pig, ram, goat, rabbit, snake, horse and the monkey. The Chinese zodiac depicts all these animals in a sequential manner.
Each Chinese zodiac sign represents a certain year and works along with a twelve year cyclic rotation. In China and Chinese astrology, the animal that belongs to a year is considered to be of utmost importance. Zodiac signs are used by many people on a daily basis to foresee how their day will go. Providing suggestions on financial decisions and even relationships, Chinese zodiac signs have been known to be astonishingly close in predicting the future of a human being.
