Comparison with its symbol, the ram:
Aries is symbolized by the ram. The ram has come to represent male fertility, aggression, and courage. A ram’s horn is part of a cornucopia, the “horn of plenty”, symbolizing abundance. In history, rams were often symbols of leadership. Aries natives are said to be leaders and pioneers.
Rams butt their heads into their enemies, and Aries natives are thought to approach life “head-on”.
The glyph for Aries is a straightforward one — it depicts the ram’s horns.
