Aries by Element and Mode

The element related to Aries is Fire.

The Fire element is masculine or yang, and is active and outer expressive in its basic nature. It corresponds with the Jungian typology of Intuition. Fire is a radiant form of energy that brings light to the world around it, enthusiastic and excitable, self-oriented, impatient and essentially optimistic. It is represented in the signs of Aries, Leo and Sagittarius. Fire people are honest to a fault, freedom loving and often insist on their own point of view. They live in the idealism of great thoughts and deeds.

Cardinal signs are outgoing, creative rather than passive, representing self-starters who make their will power known.

Its position indicates how your personality will assert itself, and what modes of activity will stimulate your physical energies.
