Aries dates
People born between 21 Mar – 19 Apr are Aries. Aries is the first sign of the zodiac. The Sun enters it at the March equinox, so Aries carries the energy of spring and new beginnings. Its symbol is the Ram, and its glyph ♈ shows the ram’s horns. The exact start and end shift by a day in some years, so March 21 and April 19 can be cusp birthdays.
The purest Aries: fearless, first and fully self-driven.
Sun-ruled warmth adds charisma, pride and a flair for leading groups.
Jupiter adds optimism, wanderlust and a philosophical streak to Aries courage.
