Discussing the meaning of the zodiac sign Aries in astrology, and explaining the traits and personality characteristics associated with people born under that sign, with astrologers Rick Levine and Chris Brennan.

Aries is the first sign of the zodiac, and it is a masculine or diurnal sign, cardinal, fiery, and ruled by the planet Mars.

This is the first in a new series of episodes where we do a deep-dive into each of the signs of the zodiac, one per episode, in order to really understand their core meaning and significations.

Part of Rick’s credentials for this episode is that he was born with a stellium or cluster of planets in Aries, including the Sun, Mercury, Venus, Mars, and the North Node.

During the course of the episode we talk about various keywords and traits associated with Aries, and also look at some birth charts of famous people who were born with different planets in that sign.

  • Aries Symbol also looks like the female reproductive system which gives birth to Life. Like how spring give new birth to life.
  • @vemontebello
    Every episode with Chris and Rick Levine is like the Astrology Odd Couple I never knew I needed
  • Are the Zodiac Sign deep dives really happening for real? All 12? I'm celebrating here! Thank you Chris for your dedicated work ,and this will be such a fun episode with Rick
  • @TECHN0
    2+ hours on each zodiac sign starting with Aries. Holy wow!
  • @becuteforme
    What really grabbed my attention is Aries being intuitive like fire. My father being an Aries moon presented himself at the right moment when I was in danger a few times.
  • @vittorianesse
    Aries has a knack for disarming with humour that captures the absurdness of a moment, but it often is more often an observation for his own amusement.
  • @fernandapaiva11
    Aries rising here, with Mercury in Aries and Mars in Scorpio. I've been traveled alone to over 50 countries and I tell my friends exactly a phrase Rick mentioned. That I feel so much comfort being in a place where I don't know anyone and don't speak the language. That for other people it can be very threatening and uncomfortable. I just love that!
  • @Gozlin1
    My intuition is off the charts. Key words.... brutally honest, fearless, confrontation, secretly empathic, funny, solid and loyal.

    Regarding "Aries are funny": i would say being funny is a lot about timing. Aries spontaneity has a lot to do with why we are funny. - love, a zero degrees Aries sun
  • @AstroByMax
    That connection Rick made with hemoglobin and chlorophyll is INCREDIBLE, because Mars is said to rule over Iron and it is naturally found in animals, and Copper is ruled by Venus and is found in plants. This was a brilliant episode!
  • @lenadaze8811
    I have Aries MC in the 10th. I am a First Responder - I would describe my Aries energy as ‘situational awareness’ ‘calm thoroughness in emergency situations’. I fall apart afterwards when it is all over and resolved.
  • Love this! As an Aries sun looking for insight on the sign, most of what I’ve found has been very simplistic and unflattering, but I am really loving this nuanced discussion. To the point you raised about being funny, I have been told I am funny but it is in an unconscious way. The more apt description of being cheeky, addressing a situation in the moment with a sly comment…bold but in a manner that doesn’t garner offense. Not premeditated-spontaneous.
  • @luckysag3459
    I was just thinking, a while ago, how wonderful it would have been if you started a series about zodiac signs as you did with planets... and here it is! Thank you so much! Xoxo
  • @ryanmckenna7481
    You are doing such a great service Chris in keeping this astrological wisdom alive!
  • @pansysutton4689
    RL you are on point with Aries getting angry in the moment , Expressing that anger and then dissolving it.

    As a lifelong student and lover of astrology, I'm learning and relearning much from your podcasts since I found them recently. This one nailed my Martian Spirit with a huge stellium in the 4th house with Scorpio asc. Im very intense and all this Mars energy there makes for a real fierce mother bear. As a new empty nester and don't know what to do with all the bent up Aries bear mama energy so I'm studying to be a professional astrologer lol. It has really given me a ton of insight and understanding into who I am in terms of a Mars perspective and why I am so weirdly independent and could never conform even under threats and duress. They call it selfish. I call it self directed. Aries simply cannot follow and that is a very misunderstood, undervalued trait and looked down upon for a lady in our recent past. We Aries folk have a natural internal direction and focused indignation on what to do and where to go next. Husbands don't like that. Bosses don't like that. Parents don't like that. People think that its rude and condecending to be forthright and opinionated and if you're Aries female the world doesn't respond well to that sort of independent type thinking.. My favorite astrologer Linda Goodman wrote of the Aries woman saying she will fight all of her own battles and yours to. And also that the world resents a female that thinks she knows better and that talks back to it. And in my 54 years, I have never known anything to be ring more true or in resemblance of my existence here as an Aries woman. Thank you for this additional validation and reiteration of my Arian pupose. 🌏✌️❤
  • I'm everything you guys perfectly described in this video. Very intro and extroverted. Balance is what I consider it to be. Alone but love company. The empress and the emperor. Funny and cut throat. I'm not understanding the charts yet but I'm resonating with what you guys are describing. April 6, 84! I love us, the us that are not narcissistic. The us that are self aware even when being impolite. This video is healing for me personally. Thanks Guys ♥️
