Aries Sun Child

Aries Sun Sign dates for 2023 (March 22nd – April 20th)

As a curious parent, it’s important to know that the dates and times of each Sun Sign can vary slightly from year to year. If your child is born on, or close to these dates, a Birth Chart can accurately decipher their true Sun Sign. The time and location are also valuable details. For example: The Sun moves into Taurus close to 6:30pm on April 20th, 2023, Sydney, Australia time. Birth Charts are coloured with vibrational influences and angles that add flavour to your Child’s Sun Sign expression.

It’s also interesting to note that each Sun Sign has its own Symbol, Element and Ruling Planet.

They synergise and flow through your child’s character. Aries is the first sign of the zodiac, so let’s begin by delving into the energies and personality traits of the Aries Sun Child, followed by helpful tips to guide, support and spark their joy.

Aries Sun Child Symbol: Ram

In astrology, the symbols are representative of the energy and characteristics of each of the twelve signs, which mostly derive from Ancient Greece, Rome, and as far back as Babylonian times. The Aries Sun Child’s symbol is The Ram. It rules with the head, and leans forward with speed and focus.

The Ram is known for its; Vitality, Strength, Fearlessness, Power and Determination.

Aries Sun Child Element: Fire

Interestingly, Fire, Earth, Air and Water are known as the four elements in astrology. Each element belongs to three of the twelve zodiac signs. The four elements relate to different aspects of the self and Fire relates to ‘our energy in motion’. It is expressed externally, comes with a sense of possibility and self motivation, and is the element for Aries.

Aries shares the element of Fire with Leo and Sagittarius. The three signs possess individual qualities based around the element of Fire, and when grouped together have a common thread of compatibility within the zodiac.

Lively, active, exciting, explosive and full of colour, there’s always a hive of activity around children with strong Fire compatibility!

Aries Sun Child Ruling Planet: Mars

Over time, each sign has been allocated a Ruling Planet. From an astrological perspective, the zodiac signs and planets in the Solar System were matched up, largely based on their thematic relationship to one another. It’s interesting to note that as you foster your Aries Sun Child’s radiance, Mars comes into play!

Activation, courage and assertion are all Mars words that can add an extra layer of insight to the true essence of your Aries Sun Child.

Is your Aries Sun Child a fierce little competitor in all they set their sights on? If so, they’re living true to their Sun Signs main objective, by activating the vibrations of their Ruling Planet, Mars.

When tuning into the dynamic of Mars, and how it may super charge your Aries Sun Child’s personality, consider these phrases; Warrior like and pointed, Strength of will, Prods into action, Sense of immediacy, Self motivated. Have you noticed your Aries Sun Child loves the feeling of winning?
