I

This very active, fiery individual is a natural pioneer. He wants to be first in everything, mental, physical and spiritual. Historically, Aries is represented by the Ram and the Phoenix bird.

II — THE PRECESSION OF THE EQUINOXES

Here, Aries represents the period in history from Moses to the birth of Christ. That is 2470 to 313 B. C.

It was an age in which fire worship was prevalent. They worshipped the Sun, and the ram was sacrificed as burnt offering to the Sun in their religious rites. Baptism was an ordeal by fire.

VII — HOW ARIES MATES WITH OTHER SIGNS

WITH ARIES ... too difficult, for both want to wear the trousers. Sexually, they burn each other out!

WITH TAURUS ... not good; Taurus is too sentimen­tal, which irritates Aries very much. Aries is very inde­pendent and unsettled, and does not want to be rooted and tied down ; whereas Taurus wants a home and ba­bies, and to settle down for good.

GEMINI . . . very interesting and inspiring; not entirely harmonious, but Aries is a burning bush, and is never dull; this suits Gemini, who hates monotony; and Aries' self-assurance has a good influence on Gemini.

CANCER . . . doubtful; the fiery ways of Aries do not agree with Cancer's quiet, reticent attitude towards life. Cancer is domestic, while Aries hates to be tied down.

An Aries man and a Cancer woman may be possible, but not vice versa. Aries is a fiery lone wolf, while Can­cer is quiet, reticient, emotional and domestic.

LEO ... not easy; fine playmates, good chums and great sweethearts; but beware of the everyday, humdrum life of marriage. Aries goes through life quite undisturbed, detached, and unaware of when and how he hurts Leo's feelings, and they are easily hurt; and Aries can never give the adulation that Leo needs to be happy in the long run.

VIRGO . . . extremely difficult; Aries is a born trail-blazer, impulsive and impatient; Virgo is conservative and cautious; Aries needs advice, but hates nagging and pressure; Virgo likes to plan other people's lives and give advice; Aries is the life of the party; Virgo is shy and retiring.

LIBRA ... possible, but difficult; Aries can be a charmer when he wants to, but tires of it, while Libra wants to be coddled, spoiled, and waited upon. Both are good sports, interested in music, arts, etc.; but in marriage, the natural adaptability of Libra would have to decide the issue.

SCORPIO . . . stormy; both are proud and bossy, and each is extremely capable alone; both have too many po­tentialities to make the equation come out even.

SAGITTARIUS ... a good match (?), but with more fun than stability. Both are enthusiastic, full of ideas, plans and good intentions; but Sagittarius is a grand joiner . . . the more people around the better; whereas Aries doesn't give a hoot for group activities, and can even do without people altogether; and so this is likely to end with .each one going their own way; and this often proves to be the most satisfactory to both of these un­sentimental types.

CAPRICORN ... difficult, but interesting; both are born leaders and executives; Aries goes through life carefree, detached and independent, while Capricorn is conserva­tive, class conscious, and matter-of-fact; Aries likes a good fight, while Capricorn prefers to settle things deli­berately.

Life together is likely to be a mixture of storm and sunshine.

AQUARIUS . . . mutually beneficial; BOTH are inde­pendent and unconventional; both love travel and adven­ture ; both like to go their own way with people, and the interests of their own choice; Aquarius likes to read and meditate, while Aries loves to do things.

PISCES . . . too difficult; Aries' independent roaming ways frighten Pisces, who has dreamy, easy-going dis­position. Pisces' lack of action gets on Aries' nerves. The only chance of success rests on Pisces' adaptability.

He wants to be important, or to rule. So this often raises him up in life, and gives him prominence in his early years. But he is very much inclined to be flighty or erratic.
