Hello, hello, hello- and welcome to the Symbol Series: Aries edition.
Now I’m sure you’ve seen this symbol before, and this is the main glyph to denote our favorite ram. But there’s so many more. There’s crystals, music, food, and the like that help to denote Aries.
It’s not just important if you’re an Aries sign either, by using a lot of these different symbols throughout your life you can help to invoke the energy of Aries, bringing that upstart fire to your life to help get stuff done.
You can read more about their glyph:
Music
For example take a listen through this playlist made in the key of Db to help invoke the fiery passion of Aries to get some of that get up and go. Or take a look through some of the songs that are in the key of Db and make your own with music you enjoy. This key helps to invoke Aries ruling planet Mars and bring forth qualities that Aries exudes: impulsiveness, passion, and quick to start.
It’s important to note that it’s the key of the song. Not the overall vibe. I Will Wait – by Mumford and Sons is not an Aries anthem by any means. However, the overall key of the song is what helps to bring forward that energy
Food
Colors
Crystals
For a good meal to invoke that Aries spirit, my recommendation is to have a good high in protein meal, that is rich in iron, and can be eaten at the beginning of the day to kick start your morning.
My personal recommendation is chorizo scrambled eggs with spinach.
Aries as a fire sign is spicy, and full of life. While it is also the kickstart to the zodiac. With its ruling planet in Mars, and dominant element being iron. This is a great option to start your day.
Aries color pallet is reserved for reds, and darker oranges. They are a fire sign, and bringing red in to your everyday pallet can help to invoke that same spirit of flame and determination.
It’s important to note that this extends past the sign itself and melds into Mars as well. The little red planet being where Aries pulls its energy from.
For crystals and minerals you are going to be looking at:
- Garnet
- Carnelian
- Bloodstone
- Ruby
- Citrine
Not only do these stones bring forward an energy to your life, they help to encourage balance through passions and help one to pursue them more actively. They also invoke different emotions of happiness, success, and ambition.
Scents
Scents that are associated with Aries include Cinnamon and Ginger. Bringing forth that spicy scent that allows you to feel like you can breathe again.
Ginger helps to empower and lift up the spirit, whereas cinnamon helps with cognitive function, and is a main staple of breakfast food (refer to what I said about Aries being a kickstarter).
Material Element
The material element for Aries is found in Iron. The red planet being the dominant ruler, being the mainstay for this. The rust colored planet is indeed covered in oxidized Iron ore. So bringing more Iron into your diet can help to invoke both the planet and sign.
Tarot Cards
In the major arcana. The Tarot Card that represents Aries is the Emperor.
It speaks to Aries determination and will to succeed. They’re an imposing figure who will direct how they want you to be, and they will stop at nothing to achieve their goals.
In The minor arcana, we have five different cards associated with Aries:
Starting with the court cards, they are associated with the King of Wands and the Page of wands:
both of these cards denote the fire behind Aries. The King card showing how Aries helps and supports the people around him to bring forth the change they wish to have, and the Page showing the desire to experience and innovate.
The number cards you have the 2, 4, and 6 of wands:
2 of Wands- To look forward to a new path, and forge ahead your future.
3 of Wands- Putting plans into motion
4 of Wands- Showing the best side of yourself and looking at the pillars of your life.
