Happy Aries season everyone!

In light of the fact that Birds of Valhalla is bringing back their astrology line (even if for a brief period of time), we have decided to make a blog post for each sign!

Symbol: The Ram.

What do we look at first when we see a ram? It's horns. This sign is know for being hard-headed and for leading the charge. Fitting seeing as Aries is also the first in the zodiac. 

Element and Modality: Fire and Cardinal

This shouldn't surprise anyone who knows an Aries. Fire signs are fiercely passionate and true go-getters. Charismatic and direct, this is who you expect to be the center of attention. Crowds are drawn to their boldness.

They are also considered a "Cardinal" sign- which is a sign that represents the start of a season.  In this circumstance- Aries individuals are born at the beginning of Spring. They are the leaders, the doers, and the trend setters.

This combination of element and modality means that Aries are the prime candidates for starting their own business. They can be competitive- and that's ideal for a business owner. Once they find their passion- there is no limit to how far they will go to succeed.  

Ruler: Mars

Aries is rules by Mars.

It's no coincidence that Aries is ruled by Mars- as they are both names for the god of war. This planet is known for being the source of energy, action, and desire. It's what makes Aries such great leaders.

However, it can also cause impulsivity, and aggression. Aries individuals need to keep that in mind when things aren't going the way they expect, and learn to channel those aspects into creative of physical outlets.

Famous Aries:

Lady Gaga, Robert Downey Jr., Thomas Jefferson, Eric Clapton, Elton John, Leonardo da Vinci, Booker T. Washington, Eddie Murphy

Strengths and Weaknesses:

Overall, Aries is center of attention, the life of the party, and leader of the pack, as long as they don't let their hard-headiness get in the way. 

The Soap:

The Aries soap (and matching solid fragrance) is scented in Aries Helheim, a blend of phthalate-free fragrance oils: Lily of the Valley, Patchouli, and Fireplace. Scent notes that honor the beginning of Spring, whilst also reminding of the fire these individuals have.

The colors of this soap are gold, red, rusty orange, and black. Reminiscent of said fire.

The crystal adorned on this soap is a carnelian- and it's considered to be a strong of luck. It can also lend courage to those who need help with public speaking- allowing someone's passion and voice to be heard. Not every Aries is born knowing how to utilize their inner talents of charisma and charm- but maybe this carnelian will help get you there. It's already in you, it just needs help coming out.

This soap and solid fragrance combo is now available for shipping, so grab yours while you still can!
