Aries (♈︎; Ancient Greek: Κριός, romanized: Kriós, Latin: Ariēs, lit. ' ram ') is the first astrological sign in the zodiac , spanning the first 30 degrees of celestial longitude (0°≤ λ <30°), and originates from the Aries constellation .
By definition, Aries starts at the First Point of Aries which is the location of the Sun at the March equinox. The precise date of the Equinox varies from year to year but is always between 19 March and 21 March. The consequence is the start date of Aries and therefore the start date of all the other signs can change slightly from year to year.
Natural Order – The most common way is to arrange the sub-periods so that they go forward in the natural order. Therefore, if the Aries to Pisces method is adopted for example in the Aquarian Age, the first sub-period is Aries, followed by Taurus, Gemini and so on until the last sub-division – Pisces. This is the approach made by Charles ...
Aries contains several stars with extrasolar planets. HIP 14810 , a G5 type star, is orbited by three giant planets (those more than ten times the mass of Earth ). [ 59 ] HD 12661 , like HIP 14810, is a G-type main sequence star, slightly larger than the Sun, with two orbiting planets.
What follows is a list of the signs of the modern zodiac (with the ecliptic longitudes of their first points), where 0° Aries is understood as the vernal equinox, with their Latin, Greek, Sanskrit, and Babylonian names. But the Sanskrit and the name equivalents (after c.500 BC) denote the constellations only, not the tropical zodiac signs.
The first point of Aries, also known as the cusp of Aries, is the location of the March equinox (the vernal equinox in the northern hemisphere, and the autumnal equinox in the southern), used as a reference point in celestial coordinate systems. In diagrams using such coordinate systems, it is often indicated with the symbol ♈︎.
