Aries (?) /'??ri?z/ (meaning "ram") is the first astrological sign in the Zodiac, spanning the first 30 degrees of celestial longitude (0°= ? <30º), which area the Sun transits, on average, between March 21 to April 21 each year.

According to the Tropical system of astrology, the Sun enters the sign of Aries when it reaches the northern vernal equinox, which occurs around March 21. Due to the fact that the Earth takes approximately 365.25 days to go around the Sun, the precise time of the equinox is not the same each year, and generally will occur about 6 hours later each year, with a jump of a day (backwards) on leap years. Since 1900 the vernal equinox date ranged from March 20 at 08h (2000) to March 21 at 19h (1903) (all times UTC).


Arian Ladies (challenge)

We are the first Zodiac sign
Leading with the birth of Spring
Mars blazes out our path
fiery and passionate are we
agressive to our foes
Leaders inticing others
Hunters loving the chase
losing interest in success
magnetic, forceful and loyal
Lusting for life and adventure
Forceful women tolerating no master
only an equal partner
Activists we plunge straight in
yet, our interest is hard to keep
Most forward of the Zodiac signs
not easy to capture, nor easy to live with
