So you have a little Aries in your house? One thing you can be sure of, life will never be dull again.

You may hear that Aries are ambitious, driven and aggressive. That’s only when you look in, from the outside. I want to take you in, to have a look at the world through your child’s eye.

Your little Aries will rule any roost he or she finds themselves in. They are leaders always on life’s cutting edge. In grown up years, they will be successful and appear to the world to be ambitious and driven. It’s now that your little Aries is in practice.

It’s not end results that inspire your little Ram, it’s the pursuit itself. An Aries must have action and movement, always mounting a quest, always staging a battle. Whether they win or lose is of little consequence, for it’s the thrill of the chase itself. Ambitious and driven they are, but not for the prize, but for the smell of battle.

Your little Aries is just going to love any and every opportunity you give them, to wage war. It may be a battle over corporate mergers in 30 years time, but now the battle lines will be drawn over bedtimes, what they wear and what they do – in fact, anything. It won’t matter what they’re battling for, they’ll just love to battle.

This all comes down to their cosmic DNA. Don’t try and argue with your Aries, simply give them outlets to play out this natural competitiveness. Give them challenging games and activities and you won’t have to battle the important things.

No matter where your Aries child comes in your family, they will always be a ‘first born’. Even the 6th born child in a family, if born in the sign of Aries, will act as a ‘first born’ and they’ll stay that way for the rest of their lives.

For Aries is the first sign of the zodiac and when the Sun moves into Aries each year, a new zodiac year is born. Aries leads us into the new Astrological year, at the head of the parade and they’ll stay there for the rest of their lives. They’re leaders, not followers and like to be the ones making the rules and setting the pace.

Astrology has many roots and in your little Aries we find the Ram, able to butt their way into situations so they can remain number one. Ram’s are the Alpha Males of the sheep world, kings of their domain and very territorial. Behind the Ram we find your Aries ruling planet, Mars.

Mars is ruled by Ares, God of War, which is where his need for battle comes from. They are fiery like the planet Mars. They’re passionate, warlike and like Ares, they’re instigators, inventors, planners and forward thinkers, just like the energy of the time of their birth.

One of the myths behind Aries, is Jason and the Argonauts. Your little Aries will love adventure and if they’re not taking part in one themselves, they’ll love to read about them, the more exciting and action filled the better.

As a Cardinal sign, they’re the ones who come up with the ideas that inspire and motivate the rest of us. Aries very rarely finish what they start, that’s for other signs to do. Aries energy relies on having a good team around them that can follow through on the practical details, while they’re free to develop even better ideas.

Aries, therefore, are inspirational leaders, inventors and inspire passion and a fighting spirit in all of us.

Your little Cosmic Crusader is practicing for the real world, a world they’re already starting to conquer.
