Aries 1st Decan

The Mars decan sharpens whatever's already there — more edge, more urgency, less patience for standing still. It's the most assertive third of the sign, quicker to act and quicker to push back.

Aries opens the zodiac year, and it acts like it — first to speak, first to move, first to try the thing everyone else is still debating. This is cardinal fire: energy that doesn't wait for the right moment because it's convinced this moment is already right.

• ✦ More combative under pressure
• ✦ Faster to act than the rest of the sign
• ✦ Low tolerance for being told to wait
