What really grabbed my attention is Aries being intuitive like fire. My father being an Aries moon presented himself at the right moment when I was in danger a few times.
Regarding "Aries are funny": i would say being funny is a lot about timing. Aries spontaneity has a lot to do with why we are funny. - love, a zero degrees Aries sun
Aries rising here, with Mercury in Aries and Mars in Scorpio. I've been traveled alone to over 50 countries and I tell my friends exactly a phrase Rick mentioned. That I feel so much comfort being in a place where I don't know anyone and don't speak the language. That for other people it can be very threatening and uncomfortable. I just love that!
@@yellowdressbookstore6602 I did. :)) Irá difficult to chose from. The world is so beautiful and each place has a special thing that sticks to your heart. Right now I’m in turkey and been loving it! 😍👌🏼
Ditto!!! Been traveling since I was a baby. Love going to countries where I don’t know anyone and can’t speak the language. I feel more like myself exploring and learning. ❤ No trepidation.
Another interesting point about Aries as the head and initiator of new light,” is the normal path of a newborn is headfirst, coming or going into the light from the dark womb “winter” to take its first breath “the initial quickening processes of consciousness.” The process of life is depicted by Aries as the pivot point of the Spring equinox.
That connection Rick made with hemoglobin and chlorophyll is INCREDIBLE, because Mars is said to rule over Iron and it is naturally found in animals, and Copper is ruled by Venus and is found in plants. This was a brilliant episode!
You were spot on with Aries being selfish but expanding the self to a larger net. I’m Aries and I am aware that in order for me to experience happiness the people around me need to be happy so for me to get what I want I need to fix what’s broken in the world around me, it’s exhausting! Especially when people don’t listen to your perspective and ignore your advice.
Aries don’t like it when you acknowledge that you understand what the other person is saying to you and they reiterate it two more times. Aries reply: “I heard you the first time”. Then we’re labeled rude.
Love this! As an Aries sun looking for insight on the sign, most of what I’ve found has been very simplistic and unflattering, but I am really loving this nuanced discussion. To the point you raised about being funny, I have been told I am funny but it is in an unconscious way. The more apt description of being cheeky, addressing a situation in the moment with a sly comment…bold but in a manner that doesn’t garner offense. Not premeditated-spontaneous.
We are babies yet great leaders that dont finish much of what they start lol. I have 5 or 6 aries placements including sun however im libra rising. War within myself always . I love being aries but we are misunderstood so often and people expect so much from us and when we say no they come unglued. And dont get me in an argument. I will not even know what the hell im saying by the time it is over. Dont start fights but i will take ur ass out if u come at me. I think i need angermanagment . 🤣
Aries Sun Moon and Mercury yes people think I'm hilarious. No real intention on my part to be funny- just speaking my mind. Aquarius rising and Venus in Gemini could help?
As a lifelong student and lover of astrology, I'm learning and relearning much from your podcasts since I found them recently. This one nailed my Martian Spirit with a huge stellium in the 4th house with Scorpio asc. Im very intense and all this Mars energy there makes for a real fierce mother bear. As a new empty nester and don't know what to do with all the bent up Aries bear mama energy so I'm studying to be a professional astrologer lol. It has really given me a ton of insight and understanding into who I am in terms of a Mars perspective and why I am so weirdly independent and could never conform even under threats and duress. They call it selfish. I call it self directed. Aries simply cannot follow and that is a very misunderstood, undervalued trait and looked down upon for a lady in our recent past. We Aries folk have a natural internal direction and focused indignation on what to do and where to go next. Husbands don't like that. Bosses don't like that. Parents don't like that. People think that its rude and condecending to be forthright and opinionated and if you're Aries female the world doesn't respond well to that sort of independent type thinking.. My favorite astrologer Linda Goodman wrote of the Aries woman saying she will fight all of her own battles and yours to. And also that the world resents a female that thinks she knows better and that talks back to it. And in my 54 years, I have never known anything to be ring more true or in resemblance of my existence here as an Aries woman. Thank you for this additional validation and reiteration of my Arian pupose. 🌏✌️❤
I was just thinking, a while ago, how wonderful it would have been if you started a series about zodiac signs as you did with planets... and here it is! Thank you so much! Xoxo
I have Aries MC in the 11th. I am a First Responder - I would describe my Aries energy as ‘situational awareness’ ‘calm thoroughness in emergency situations’. I fall apart afterwards when it is all over and resolved.
I'm everything you guys perfectly described in this video. Very intro and extroverted. Balance is what I consider it to be. Alone but love company. The empress and the emperor. Funny and cut throat. I'm not understanding the charts yet but I'm resonating with what you guys are describing. April 6, 84! I love us, the us that are not narcissistic. The us that are self aware even when being impolite. This video is healing for me personally. Thanks Guys ♥️
I have an aries stellium in the 12th house- my sun, mercury, venus, and saturn all very close together, and trining my pluto. I'm kind of a Pisces-Aries person since I am also on the cusp, and I have that 12th house emphasis. I gained a deeper understanding of myself from this video. Another association of Aries that came to mind while listening to this was Aries as the soldier on the front-lines, bravely leading the way for everyone else to follow, but also the one who has to face the brunt of the violence due to being at the front, and absorb much of the pain for everyone else. Like what was discussed in the video, that also connects to the idea of Aries as the "Hero", someone who is willing to put themselves in danger, face pain and risk it all to save the vulnerable and victimized. BUT what Aries has to remember is that despite having the capacity to absorb the pain of others and carry their wounds, they also need to take the time to allow themselves to heal from the battle and be ok with being vulnerable. Aries needs to be reminded that they dont have to be "tough" all the time, and that they CAN be the baby of the zodiac and let someone else shield them too. I work as a Refugee Resettlement case manager, and I hear painful stories everyday from my clients about the violence they experienced in their home countries. While my job is to help them get resettled in the US, I also feel like a buffer for them. I cant take away their painful histories, but I can at least listen and absorb their stories and try to make their new life in the US easier. I never fully understood what my 12th house Aries stellium meant, but what Chris said really resonated when he said that people who have "negative" placements often end up helping people who have associations with those placements. 12th house being the house of exile, Aries associated with war and violence, 12th house aries stellium (With jupiter and uranus in the 10th in aqua, and trine pluto) and I work with refugees. Truly a realization.
Hi! I too have 12th house Aries stellium … sun conjunct Saturn, and moon conjunct Venus all in 12th. I work for a charity that helps families and children in poverty. I particular I help adults improve mental wellbeing… it’s great we have found our place
I haven’t listened in yet but I will be tomorrow ! I am an Aries Sun, Venus and Mercury. The one thing I can say about being an Aries myself is I don’t fear anything or anyone, except the universe. So fearless would be my first word, loner since I don’t mind doing anything solo , quick wit, my mouth moves faster than my brain sometimes 🤭, brutally honest - I’d rather be that than a liar. Ok I’ll stop here, don’t want to bore you with all my good traits 😬
the amount of joy i had seeing this notification, i literally jumped up and down and danced for a few minutes, i’ve been so excited for this series. definitely needed this after a rough day, thank you for all you do. ❤️
I have several planets and placements in Aries: Sun, Mercury, Venus, NN and my rising also. All of them are in the 12th house (except NN), while my Mars is in Aquarius in the 11th house. This paired with a Moon in Pisces 12h. Loved the video, very insightful.
My father was a Aries, a Great Man. He was kind, but if you pushed him too far. . . Watch out! You could see his my anger come out. Which was very rare.
I love this particular show. I adore Aires people and always say “There aren’t enough Aires people in the world!” I am a Sagittarius, is that part of the Aires appeal?
Aries anger is gone in a nanosecond. As a child if I had a fight with my scorpion mom she told me it infuriated her I would come back in the room and acting nice and fine and she was just stewing. My son as a Scorpio just holds onto anger from a wrong for years. And so true about focus and being thought of as rude. If I am in the process of here and now and focus I have no room for accommodating a useless formality
I have my Sun, Moon & Ascendent all in Aries (intense)… so this video is really helpful to me, thank you. I also have a stellium in Scorpio, so, like Rick, I’m an Aries who’s not afraid to go deep 😄 Love your videos.. thank you!
Aries also give a very very strong high five. I noticed with two of the aries guys I know.When I high fived both, I get intense vibration and feel a strong energy flow through my hand, in a literal way. That is something crazy to me. but I'd watch for the head thing.
Thanks for tackling signs. I think as astrologers, we're so eager to jump into planets and houses, we forget what the signs are contributing to a chart.
Chris made me shed a tear at 1:55:42 reminding not only to Rick that you were really aware of his career with Jawer but also kinda admired their work at wishing to have one of those yearly planners they did. I really understood now your soberness and solemn tone at astrology, which now i get it comes from a profound appreciation and caring about knowledge and the collection of multiple founders of knowledge... it's stunning, because i noted when Rick paused at first talking about Jawer, that was a dark moment. You did a good closure taking care of coming back at it to go ahead with the subject too...
This is so wonderful! Thank you Chris! Thank you Rick! Such a fabulous unpacking of Aries! My spouse and father are both Aries Sun peeps and when I think of the quality of funny, I feel like they and other Aries that I know or meet are charismatic and certainly jovial. I think too of the energy supporting this in this sign, is the child, youthfulness of Aries, the bravery to say something or act silly when others might hold back, to compete for attention and to be quick witted and sometimes sarcastic too and at the same, they can say something that totally gets them in trouble. So excited to see the other 11 unfold! 🙏☺️❤️
I don’t think Aries thinks about not wanting to back down from a challenge. Aries sees point A and point B, and almost nothing in between exists. It’s pure impulse and momentum
Can’t wait to listen. I’m an Aries moon in 10th house conjunct north node at 0 degrees Taurus. Oh, and Venus at 5 degrees Aries. My career/athleticism and my passion many things has changed drastically.
Another great exemple chart is Rihanna's chart, with the Moon, Venus and Jupiter on the ascendant! And she's very much all about that, I mean, the album's names and songs like "Unapologetic" "Only Girl" "Rude Boy" etc fits so much the archetype for Aries. Recently she was nominated national Hero of Barbados, her country of origin. Even though she's an early degree Pisces Sun, I think the Aries influence in her personality stands out in such a way that is so easy to spot on!
Thank you for doing this video. While the Aries is the baby of the zodiac, Capricorn has the heart of a baby. No sign has been more selfish and more practical than Capricorn to the extent that the sign's downside is baphomet.
I appreciate this thorough exploration of the zodiac sign energies and archetypes associated with Aries. I am a sun sign Pisces and moon sign Scorpio, but my rising sign is Aries, my mars is in Aries, and my north node is in Aries, all in my first house. I am very much an Aries in everyway described, with esoteric/ humanitarian/ artistic/ rebel with a cause flavors added into the mix. Looking forward to hearing about the other signs!
One thing I feel is overlooked about Aries, is that, the enterprising, momentous quality that we have can also fuel order and discipline. Aries doesn’t always mean chaos if our motives don’t require it. Then again I have Saturn & Uranus in Capricorn, in the 1st house. Aries means energy. The contained explosion of the constant flow expressed through us repressed. Also Aries can also TAKE a lot of aggression not just give it.
Linda Goodman is the reason I'm here watching and understanding you today....Sun, Moon, Venus, Mercury in Aries in the 10th, Mars in Cancer in the 2nd. Love you guys! Thanks for all you teach me!😊❤️🔥
Dont forget, the new, green shoot out of the ground, has a tenderness to it as well. A naivete perhaps a better word. An innocence. A tendancy to hurt easily. But also, bounces back in record time.
Thank you both. I worked in the beauty industry for a long time and the 3 best hairstylists, imo, were all Aries. 💇🏾♂️💇🏼♀️💇🏼♂️ I also recall that each had crazy stories about accidentally cutting themselves.
At 2:00:36 describes my Aries personality to a Tee. I do not want to be remembered based upon the world's legacy. Funny I was asked to write the eulogy for and at a Libra's funeral. The poem I chose was "Shakespeare's Sonnet 71" and as I read this i could the faces of the loved ones at the congregation drop. The whole procession to me was very unnecessary but then again it was a Libra funeral. Makes sense. Unlike Scorpios who want to be immortalized, an Aries already knows they are immortal. You guys missed out on the Reborn Sun Aries, although Rick mentioned the Aries who likes to be alone and hermitic.
I can see the Saturn (slow) and Mars (fast) energy in here but thank God Chris and Rick were evolved enough beings that they found a way to meet halfway. Chris is detail oriented and made sure that every box was ticked while Rick was straight to the point and throws a little quirkiness into the mix to prevent us getting drowsy.
My ex was an Aries and the song song by Alabama that says “I’m in a hurry to get things done oh I’m rushing rushing til life’s no fun” was a song I always said that was him.
This will be an amazing series I am sure. Chris, just do every sun and moon combination and we (your audience) are set and growing for the next 144 episodes :) Cancer sun Scorpio moon here voting yes to this.
Libraquarian here. So stoked for this series. Thank you for this! And I would absolutely love, if there’s any way for us to connect other than commenting on your podcast, to one day join you on your podcast, talking about Plutonian/ Venusian and Aquarius archetypal fusion. And just being Plutonian in general from a more personal standpoint. All the love, Charise aka Change and Rise ✨
Great episode Chris! Always enjoy your talks with Rick. As someone new to Astrology, this was a very informative approach on the zodiac. Love how you two went on a deep dive to fully explain Aries. Very helpful and enjoyable! Thanks again!
1:32 minutes. Rick! Your few words on MARS IN THE TWELFTH HOUSE were golden! About "undoing". I have Mars in Aries in twelfth house. I've never heard, before, what you said. I did the fasting, meditation route you described. Would love to hear more! How about a video on this on your channel? Fantastic episode!
This is so illuminating 💥 My son has Aries in his ASC and … Wow - so helpful in understanding his energy and personality as a Pisces Sun mama, who dreams of more compassion in the World we sometimes find ourselves not agreeing on certain ways of treating others…
Lol as an Aries with a Pisces venus and mercury, I would suggest that there is real compassion in Aries brutal honesty and bluntness- at its best- it is an open invitation to do better. Sometimes people being “nice” just allows us to engage in our BS longer than is good for us- an Aries with no fucks to give can be a blessed antidote. What is more compassionate than telling a truth that needs to be said- even if it means being hated for it?
LOVE having Rick on again! and this was a brilliant conversation. i guess with Mars in Pisces right now, a deep dive actually sounds pretty right! LOVE this new series, just can't wait to get to Pisces!!!
Just starting to listen to the first in this series. I love Rick Levine and his keen detail. *AND* Chris Brennan...a shout-out to you!!...you are, seriously, one of the better, if not the best, of interviewers out there. 🌟🌕☀Thank you for all that you do in bringing quality information regarding Evolutionary Astrology to all of us. Your attention to real-time detail and to the editing process after-the-fact is deeply appreciated. 🌷
Love this series and I've been a Rick Levine follower for a long time. Love his take - complete treasure of the astrology world. And Chris, I've been studying Hellenistic Astrology using your book for going on a year and a half. Thank you for all you do!
"I know what I like and I don't like instantaneously" --- as an Aries, this is one of the hardest things for me to explain bc the way I feel about people is 90% indifferent but 5% immediately know we are supposed to be connected and 5% immediately know they are going to fuck someone over, to stay away from them, etc. No one understands that feeling.
Love this conversation. I have Mercury, Mars, Midheaven, and Juno in Aries 10th house. I've been told I am very direct & dominate in conversations. Debating is fun to me. Definitely passionate and love starting new projects but can lack the follow through. 🔥❤
I felt, even before Rick started talking about the repressed nature in Aries, that my Chiron in Aries represses that energy to move forth in the moment and get out of the way to allow movement. That stuckness I often feel in my life.
Yay! Another great series begins! I love Rick and Chris together, never a dull moment. Shatner (Kirk) was also an Aries, forgive me if you mention later - am just at the Campbell part, but have Mars in Aries, so had to butt in NOW. Campbell was my Aries mum's mentor (as was Jung, though not 'live') and with Aries mentor zeal, she passed the lessons down to me. JC sometimes made stuff up to fill in the blanks, for the sake of a good story ;) But definitely a pioneer for bringing comparative mythology to the mainstream. Certainly Star 'Trek' (pioneer) and Star 'Wars' (battle) came to us via Aries brains. That Mars-destined trillionaire who hopes to rescue the tweets in distress has Mars conjunct his North Node, too. I love that interp of the symbol for Aries being the sprouting seed - bang on. This sign is the hero, but also a kind of sacrificial hero, that knows 'instinctively' through death it will live again! Thanks so much...now to resume listening. [Btw, my vehicle - this too-old browser - is so slow I nearly popped a cork waiting to sign into to comment. Sun's on my Mars, today...]
Aries asserts - knows how to say no and knows how to get to the point, get the information they need etc. I love being an Aries Sun even though many descriptions do not fit me. I think this is because I have Virgo ASC qunicunx its Aries Mercury ruler. Also, exalted Mars in Cap. I can really relate to Aries - we appreciate the directness and assertiveness in each other and not be threatened by it. Plus - we do love passion! Ha. Enthusiasm indeed. PS - I had two Leo bosses who told me in my first review that I had a lot of spark ! Ha I stayed with them for years - very compatible.
Got to consider what house in which this Aries Sun resides; the area of the Natal Wheel in which it resides. So much goes into what defines an individual. An individual equals the sum of all their parts. The Natal Chart helps in defining an individual.
@@rosezagel240 Oh sure - I know that. (I am an astrologer.) I was just responding to the archetypal description and how some of it does not play out with every person. As you are saying - best not to judge the individual by the Sun sign alone etc.or even all of its supposed attributes. I think, for example, the Earthy ASC really does affect, as does the Aries Sun ruler in an earth sign for me.
Wow its weird...I am Aries Sun...Sag ascendant...Sag moon... and no doubt about it I do not get along with other fire signs at all I only get along with water and earth signs and occasionally a Libra why is this I don't get it???
I love this story about the dardelions. In fact this week I purchased a dandelion tincture and now as I listen, I take a sip of it in a little water !!! The hinge & pivot story for further deepening & explaining the cardinal signs, I will cherish for a long time...thank you both!
Quite interesting how dandelions grow where soil in poor. The roots break up or ram into impacted soil enriching it with calcium and minerals, making it fertile.
omg rick levine is such a cool person with all those astrology and psychology knowledge I definitely gonna subscribe his channel because he really sold me with carl jung. can't wait for the next episode of the series chris thank you for spoiling us with this! :)
Loved this episode. I’m a quadruple Aries (Sun, Mercury, Mars & Venus) with a Scorpio ascendant. Uncle Rick! You guys missed Eddie Murphy! Of course Aries are funny 😁.
Thank you for this first in your series on the signs. It was very interesting to recognize the Aries traits in friends and family. Looking forward to future episodes.
Wow! I loved listening to this and think it's a great continuation on the planets series. I am also an 11th house in Aries and related hard to the part where Rick said he would live at conferences. Rick adds a lot of insight from the Aries perspective, great job!
Wonderful episode! I’m so excited for this series. I do wish Mars in each sign and house and those expressions had been touched on a bit more. They spoke about Mars in Cap, Virgo, Leo, and of course Aries, and a few house placements but it would have been nice to hear these from Aries to Pisces and 1st to 12H perspective. (Says me with natal Mars in Libra trying to balance the scales☺️). Overall, this is still one of my favorite episodes.🤍✨💫
58:45 the interesting thing about Chris rock is that he stopped himself from saying something that would have escalated the situation at the Oscars. You can hear him say something like "I could say..." And you can tell he wants to say something, maybe something cutting or mean, but he stops himself. A lot of Aries would not have been able to resist that temptation
Aries Rising and North Node , I always want to “quickly” do this and “quickly” do that, I make snap decisions based on my “gut” feeling and although my Pisces Sun makes me a come across quiet, I can be loud and have a quick temper …
Aries : Fire of Instictual Intuitive. ♤ Yes, I Am Aries and I always feel everything is me, it's all my energy. And in reality it actually is. That's the fundamental realization one had at the end of human journey. ♤ Autonomy, sovereignty, Independence and authenticity is most fundamental to me. ♤ Aries is always right here, right now. ♤ Haha..yeah we do gamble on life itself. ♤ That picture describing the aries is perfect.
The dandelion thing is real, the “Ray floret” on the flower head, looks exactly like the Aries ♈️ symbol and most definitely (in northeast) the first yellow to be seen!
One person came to mind when this amazing conversation mentioned Aries and wit - Paul Rudd has a stellium in Aries and he’s quite a hilarious actor + comedian.
Let us know in the comments which keywords you associate with Aries!

My intuition is off the charts. Key words.... brutally honest, fearless, confrontation, secretly empathic, funny, solid and loyal.
Aries has a knack for disarming with humour that captures the absurdness of a moment, but it often is more often an observation for his own amusement.
Yeah because we don’t play games and follow nonsense lol

I'm everything you guys perfectly described in this video. Very intro and extroverted. Balance is what I consider it to be. Alone but love company. The empress and the emperor. Funny and cut throat. I'm not understanding the charts yet but I'm resonating with what you guys are describing. April 6, 84! I love us, the us that are not narcissistic. The us that are self aware even when being impolite. This video is healing for me personally. Thanks Guys ♥️
RL you are on point with Aries getting angry in the moment , Expressing that anger and then dissolving it.
ARIES IS MAJESTIC HUMAN LEADER. PURE HEART ♥️
Aries , Never boring!
Thats what my new boyfriend in 1985 ,describe me as to his friend when asked "So what is it like to be with Allison".
Kinda would be great just to have Rick on all of the signs... I'm 8.29 minutes in, and he just has time and wisdom spilling out of him. Love it!
I totally agree. Rick is like the Gandalf of astrology 😄 so knowledgeable
P
I have an aries stellium in the 12th house- my sun, mercury, venus, and saturn all very close together, and trining my pluto. I'm kind of a Pisces-Aries person since I am also on the cusp, and I have that 12th house emphasis. I gained a deeper understanding of myself from this video. Another association of Aries that came to mind while listening to this was Aries as the soldier on the front-lines, bravely leading the way for everyone else to follow, but also the one who has to face the brunt of the violence due to being at the front, and absorb much of the pain for everyone else. Like what was discussed in the video, that also connects to the idea of Aries as the "Hero", someone who is willing to put themselves in danger, face pain and risk it all to save the vulnerable and victimized. BUT what Aries has to remember is that despite having the capacity to absorb the pain of others and carry their wounds, they also need to take the time to allow themselves to heal from the battle and be ok with being vulnerable. Aries needs to be reminded that they dont have to be "tough" all the time, and that they CAN be the baby of the zodiac and let someone else shield them too. I work as a Refugee Resettlement case manager, and I hear painful stories everyday from my clients about the violence they experienced in their home countries. While my job is to help them get resettled in the US, I also feel like a buffer for them. I cant take away their painful histories, but I can at least listen and absorb their stories and try to make their new life in the US easier. I never fully understood what my 12th house Aries stellium meant, but what Chris said really resonated when he said that people who have "negative" placements often end up helping people who have associations with those placements. 12th house being the house of exile, Aries associated with war and violence, 12th house aries stellium (With jupiter and uranus in the 10th in aqua, and trine pluto) and I work with refugees. Truly a realization.
Hi! I too have 12th house Aries stellium … sun conjunct Saturn, and moon conjunct Venus all in 12th. I work for a charity that helps families and children in poverty. I particular I help adults improve mental wellbeing… it’s great we have found our place
@@sarabethq4252 wow! Thats amazing. I am glad we found our place too
@@sarabethq4252 aries 12th house people should start a support group for us
This is THE MOST exciting podcast ever!!!! You are definitely leading the pack
I haven’t listened in yet but I will be tomorrow ! I am an Aries Sun, Venus and Mercury. The one thing I can say about being an Aries myself is I don’t fear anything or anyone, except the universe. So fearless would be my first word, loner since I don’t mind doing anything solo , quick wit, my mouth moves faster than my brain sometimes 🤭, brutally honest - I’d rather be that than a liar. Ok I’ll stop here, don’t want to bore you with all my good traits 😬
OMG😂 everything you said is exactly me!
@@6Deuce1 I can’t believe it’s been 8 months since I wrote that , you made me laugh 😆
the amount of joy i had seeing this notification, i literally jumped up and down and danced for a few minutes, i’ve been so excited for this series. definitely needed this after a rough day, thank you for all you do. ❤️
Me too 😁
Rick will say the most amazing mind blowing things and Chris is just like “😐 right”
Haha
his Saturn ascendant is loud haha
I have several planets and placements in Aries: Sun, Mercury, Venus, NN and my rising also. All of them are in the 12th house (except NN), while my Mars is in Aquarius in the 11th house. This paired with a Moon in Pisces 12h. Loved the video, very insightful.
My father was a Aries, a Great Man.
He was kind, but if you pushed him too far. . . Watch out! You could see his my anger come out. Which was very rare.
I love this particular show. I adore Aires people and always say “There aren’t enough Aires people in the world!” I am a Sagittarius, is that part of the Aires appeal?
Thank you for your kind words my fellow fire sign❤
Aries anger is gone in a nanosecond. As a child if I had a fight with my scorpion mom she told me it infuriated her I would come back in the room and acting nice and fine and she was just stewing. My son as a Scorpio just holds onto anger from a wrong for years.
And so true about focus and being thought of as rude. If I am in the process of here and now and focus I have no room for accommodating a useless formality
I'm so excited for this series! How perfect you could start in Aries season 🧡🌼💫🔥
Yo Marissa
I have my Sun, Moon & Ascendent all in Aries (intense)… so this video is really helpful to me, thank you. I also have a stellium in Scorpio, so, like Rick, I’m an Aries who’s not afraid to go deep 😄 Love your videos.. thank you!
Wow, Mars is very busy in your chart! Lol
@@MissJoy16 certainly is 😉🔥
Daaaaannngg.. 😂❤
Omg! Sun, rising and mecury, all in 1st house aries and my Sun is opposition to Pluto with Grand fire trine. The house is on fire🔥!!!
Aries also give a very very strong high five. I noticed with two of the aries guys I know.When I high fived both, I get intense vibration and feel a strong energy flow through my hand, in a literal way. That is something crazy to me. but I'd watch for the head thing.
Thanks for tackling signs. I think as astrologers, we're so eager to jump into planets and houses, we forget what the signs are contributing to a chart.
THIS!! Modern astrologers tend to forget that the Zodiac literally begins with the Zodiac.😂
Chris made me shed a tear at 1:55:42 reminding not only to Rick that you were really aware of his career with Jawer but also kinda admired their work at wishing to have one of those yearly planners they did. I really understood now your soberness and solemn tone at astrology, which now i get it comes from a profound appreciation and caring about knowledge and the collection of multiple founders of knowledge... it's stunning, because i noted when Rick paused at first talking about Jawer, that was a dark moment. You did a good closure taking care of coming back at it to go ahead with the subject too...
This is so wonderful! Thank you Chris! Thank you Rick! Such a fabulous unpacking of Aries! My spouse and father are both Aries Sun peeps and when I think of the quality of funny, I feel like they and other Aries that I know or meet are charismatic and certainly jovial. I think too of the energy supporting this in this sign, is the child, youthfulness of Aries, the bravery to say something or act silly when others might hold back, to compete for attention and to be quick witted and sometimes sarcastic too and at the same, they can say something that totally gets them in trouble. So excited to see the other 11 unfold! 🙏☺️❤️
I don’t think Aries thinks about not wanting to back down from a challenge. Aries sees point A and point B, and almost nothing in between exists. It’s pure impulse and momentum
Can’t wait to listen. I’m an Aries moon in 10th house conjunct north node at 0 degrees Taurus. Oh, and Venus at 5 degrees Aries.
My career/athleticism and my passion many things has changed drastically.
Another great exemple chart is Rihanna's chart, with the Moon, Venus and Jupiter on the ascendant! And she's very much all about that, I mean, the album's names and songs like "Unapologetic" "Only Girl" "Rude Boy" etc fits so much the archetype for Aries. Recently she was nominated national Hero of Barbados, her country of origin. Even though she's an early degree Pisces Sun, I think the Aries influence in her personality stands out in such a way that is so easy to spot on!
Omg yesss!!
Omg!! I am SO excited to have a video for each sign! I look forward to these!
Wow this was absolute FIRE. I'm an Aries and you two have made me want to deep dive my chart. A gem of an episode to say the least!
Thank you for doing this video. While the Aries is the baby of the zodiac, Capricorn has the heart of a baby. No sign has been more selfish and more practical than Capricorn to the extent that the sign's downside is baphomet.
I appreciate this thorough exploration of the zodiac sign energies and archetypes associated with Aries. I am a sun sign Pisces and moon sign Scorpio, but my rising sign is Aries, my mars is in Aries, and my north node is in Aries, all in my first house. I am very much an Aries in everyway described, with esoteric/ humanitarian/ artistic/ rebel with a cause flavors added into the mix. Looking forward to hearing about the other signs!
One thing I feel is overlooked about Aries, is that, the enterprising, momentous quality that we have can also fuel order and discipline. Aries doesn’t always mean chaos if our motives don’t require it. Then again I have Saturn & Uranus in Capricorn, in the 1st house. Aries means energy. The contained explosion of the constant flow expressed through us repressed. Also Aries can also TAKE a lot of aggression not just give it.
Agreed. I have Mars in Capricorn.
Linda Goodman is the reason I'm here watching and understanding you today....Sun, Moon, Venus, Mercury in Aries in the 10th, Mars in Cancer in the 2nd. Love you guys! Thanks for all you teach me!😊❤️🔥
Dont forget, the new, green shoot out of the ground, has a tenderness to it as well. A naivete perhaps a better word. An innocence. A tendancy to hurt easily. But also, bounces back in record time.
Thank you both. I worked in the beauty industry for a long time and the 3 best hairstylists, imo, were all Aries. 💇🏾♂️💇🏼♀️💇🏼♂️ I also recall that each had crazy stories about accidentally cutting themselves.
At 2:00:36 describes my Aries personality to a Tee. I do not want to be remembered based upon the world's legacy. Funny I was asked to write the eulogy for and at a Libra's funeral. The poem I chose was "Shakespeare's Sonnet 71" and as I read this i could the faces of the loved ones at the congregation drop. The whole procession to me was very unnecessary but then again it was a Libra funeral. Makes sense. Unlike Scorpios who want to be immortalized, an Aries already knows they are immortal. You guys missed out on the Reborn Sun Aries, although Rick mentioned the Aries who likes to be alone and hermitic.
Excited for the roster of astrologer guests you'll be featuring for each sign Chris! 🤩
I can see the Saturn (slow) and Mars (fast) energy in here but thank God Chris and Rick were evolved enough beings that they found a way to meet halfway. Chris is detail oriented and made sure that every box was ticked while Rick was straight to the point and throws a little quirkiness into the mix to prevent us getting drowsy.
My ex was an Aries and the song song by Alabama that says “I’m in a hurry to get things done oh I’m rushing rushing til life’s no fun” was a song I always said that was him.
What a masterpiece presentation and what a gift to humanity just listening to such gifted astrologers. Thank you very much
This will be an amazing series I am sure. Chris, just do every sun and moon combination and we (your audience) are set and growing for the next 144 episodes :) Cancer sun Scorpio moon here voting yes to this.
Libraquarian here. So stoked for this series. Thank you for this! And I would absolutely love, if there’s any way for us to connect other than commenting on your podcast, to one day join you on your podcast, talking about Plutonian/ Venusian and Aquarius archetypal fusion. And just being Plutonian in general from a more personal standpoint.
All the love, Charise
aka Change and Rise ✨
I love Rick's rebuttals to the episode titles (almost) every time he's on the show. So Aquarius! ♒😁
Anytime Levine shares his knowledge/wisdom I show up to listen!
Great episode Chris! Always enjoy your talks with Rick. As someone new to Astrology, this was a very informative approach on the zodiac. Love how you two went on a deep dive to fully explain Aries. Very helpful and enjoyable! Thanks again!
I'm SO excited for these series! YEAAH! THANK YOU! My keyword for Aries: punch.
1:32 minutes. Rick! Your few words on MARS IN THE TWELFTH HOUSE were golden! About "undoing". I have Mars in Aries in twelfth house. I've never heard, before, what you said. I did the fasting, meditation route you described. Would love to hear more! How about a video on this on your channel? Fantastic episode!
I'm like 27 minutes in, and the way these guys are firing at/with each other is amazing! 🔆
My Aries sun thoroughly enjoyed this thank you both! ♈️
This is so illuminating 💥 My son has Aries in his ASC and … Wow - so helpful in understanding his energy and personality as a Pisces Sun mama, who dreams of more compassion in the World we sometimes find ourselves not agreeing on certain ways of treating others…
So thankful you will go through the whole zodiac with this in-depth series!✨
Lol as an Aries with a Pisces venus and mercury, I would suggest that there is real compassion in Aries brutal honesty and bluntness- at its best- it is an open invitation to do better. Sometimes people being “nice” just allows us to engage in our BS longer than is good for us- an Aries with no fucks to give can be a blessed antidote. What is more compassionate than telling a truth that needs to be said- even if it means being hated for it?
LOVE having Rick on again! and this was a brilliant conversation. i guess with Mars in Pisces right now, a deep dive actually sounds pretty right! LOVE this new series, just can't wait to get to Pisces!!!
Thank you 🙏🏼 This is a very exciting series, I can’t wait to dive deep into each sign with you and your guests!
Hi from an Aries👋 Today is my 33rd bday. I have venus and sun in Aries 9th house
happy birthday leo rising!
@@sarahjknoll ☺
Just starting to listen to the first in this series. I love Rick Levine and his keen detail. *AND* Chris Brennan...a shout-out to you!!...you are, seriously, one of the better, if not the best, of interviewers out there. 🌟🌕☀Thank you for all that you do in bringing quality information regarding Evolutionary Astrology to all of us. Your attention to real-time detail and to the editing process after-the-fact is deeply appreciated. 🌷
Love this series and I've been a Rick Levine follower for a long time. Love his take - complete treasure of the astrology world. And Chris, I've been studying Hellenistic Astrology using your book for going on a year and a half. Thank you for all you do!
C'mon now
"I know what I like and I don't like instantaneously" --- as an Aries, this is one of the hardest things for me to explain bc the way I feel about people is 90% indifferent but 5% immediately know we are supposed to be connected and 5% immediately know they are going to fuck someone over, to stay away from them, etc. No one understands that feeling.
Woohoooo, a sign series!! Thanks so much for this, I know the whole series will be great.
Love this conversation. I have Mercury, Mars, Midheaven, and Juno in Aries 10th house. I've been told I am very direct & dominate in conversations. Debating is fun to me. Definitely passionate and love starting new projects but can lack the follow through. 🔥❤
I felt, even before Rick started talking about the repressed nature in Aries, that my Chiron in Aries represses that energy to move forth in the moment and get out of the way to allow movement. That stuckness I often feel in my life.
Yay! Another great series begins! I love Rick and Chris together, never a dull moment.
Shatner (Kirk) was also an Aries, forgive me if you mention later - am just at the Campbell part, but have Mars in Aries, so had to butt in NOW. Campbell was my Aries mum's mentor (as was Jung, though not 'live') and with Aries mentor zeal, she passed the lessons down to me. JC sometimes made stuff up to fill in the blanks, for the sake of a good story ;) But definitely a pioneer for bringing comparative mythology to the mainstream. Certainly Star 'Trek' (pioneer) and Star 'Wars' (battle) came to us via Aries brains.
That Mars-destined trillionaire who hopes to rescue the tweets in distress has Mars conjunct his North Node, too.
I love that interp of the symbol for Aries being the sprouting seed - bang on. This sign is the hero, but also a kind of sacrificial hero, that knows 'instinctively' through death it will live again!
Thanks so much...now to resume listening.
[Btw, my vehicle - this too-old browser - is so slow I nearly popped a cork waiting to sign into to comment. Sun's on my Mars, today...]
Aries asserts - knows how to say no and knows how to get to the point, get the information they need etc. I love being an Aries Sun even though many descriptions do not fit me. I think this is because I have Virgo ASC qunicunx its Aries Mercury ruler. Also, exalted Mars in Cap. I can really relate to Aries - we appreciate the directness and assertiveness in each other and not be threatened by it. Plus - we do love passion! Ha. Enthusiasm indeed. PS - I had two Leo bosses who told me in my first review that I had a lot of spark ! Ha I stayed with them for years - very compatible.
Got to consider what house in which this Aries Sun resides; the area of the Natal Wheel in which it resides. So much goes into what defines an individual. An individual equals the sum of all their parts. The Natal Chart helps in defining an individual.
@@rosezagel240 Oh sure - I know that. (I am an astrologer.) I was just responding to the archetypal description and how some of it does not play out with every person. As you are saying - best not to judge the individual by the Sun sign alone etc.or even all of its supposed attributes. I think, for example, the Earthy ASC really does affect, as does the Aries Sun ruler in an earth sign for me.
Wow its weird...I am Aries Sun...Sag ascendant...Sag moon... and no doubt about it I do not get along with other fire signs at all I only get along with water and earth signs and occasionally a Libra why is this I don't get it???
Oh yes Chris ! What a great start of a new series and esp with Aries ♈️ u just had to go with Rick 😀 yay
Blunt is also a word people use for Aries.
My daughter has Aries sun, mercury, Uranus rising and she is a major prankster and very sneaky. Razor sharp wit. Bright red hair.
Sneaky is not Aries at all!
I love this story about the dardelions. In fact this week I purchased a dandelion tincture and now as I listen, I take a sip of it in a little water !!! The hinge & pivot story for further deepening & explaining the cardinal signs, I will cherish for a long time...thank you both!
Quite interesting how dandelions grow where soil in poor. The roots break up or ram into impacted soil enriching it with calcium and minerals, making it fertile.
I want to see this fast/pace thing they are talking about.
omg rick levine is such a cool person with all those astrology and psychology knowledge I definitely gonna subscribe his channel because he really sold me with carl jung. can't wait for the next episode of the series chris thank you for spoiling us with this! :)
Aries: Saturn, Venus, Sun, Mercury, Chiron & NN… so, grateful for this episode! Thank you! Lol. I think…
Loved this episode. I’m a quadruple Aries (Sun, Mercury, Mars & Venus) with a Scorpio ascendant. Uncle Rick! You guys missed Eddie Murphy! Of course Aries are funny 😁.
Thank you for this first in your series on the signs. It was very interesting to recognize the Aries traits in friends and family. Looking forward to future episodes.
Wow! I loved listening to this and think it's a great continuation on the planets series. I am also an 11th house in Aries and related hard to the part where Rick said he would live at conferences. Rick adds a lot of insight from the Aries perspective, great job!
Wonderful episode! I’m so excited for this series. I do wish Mars in each sign and house and those expressions had been touched on a bit more. They spoke about Mars in Cap, Virgo, Leo, and of course Aries, and a few house placements but it would have been nice to hear these from Aries to Pisces and 1st to 12H perspective. (Says me with natal Mars in Libra trying to balance the scales☺️). Overall, this is still one of my favorite episodes.🤍✨💫
he may be an AquariArian but that Gemini ascendant is LOUD! what a brilliant encyclopedia Rick is!
This is brilliant thank you so much for doing this series, so insightful, and Rick is ace, i think I'm an Aquariaries too!
Excited about these Zodiac signs' deep dives!! This was good, you two have good chemistry as always.
58:45 the interesting thing about Chris rock is that he stopped himself from saying something that would have escalated the situation at the Oscars. You can hear him say something like "I could say..." And you can tell he wants to say something, maybe something cutting or mean, but he stops himself. A lot of Aries would not have been able to resist that temptation
Aries Rising and North Node , I always want to “quickly” do this and “quickly” do that, I make snap decisions based on my “gut” feeling and although my Pisces Sun makes me a come across quiet, I can be loud and have a quick temper …
Aries : Fire of Instictual Intuitive.
♤ Yes, I Am Aries and I always feel everything is me, it's all my energy. And in reality it actually is. That's the fundamental realization one had at the end of human journey.
♤ Autonomy, sovereignty, Independence and authenticity is most fundamental to me.
♤ Aries is always right here, right now.
♤ Haha..yeah we do gamble on life itself.
♤ That picture describing the aries is perfect.
Great episode, thanks. It would have been good to hear a discussion on temperament in relation to Aries (or the sign being discussed), as well.
RICK LEVINE JUST BECAME MY SPIRIT ANIMAL!
The dandelion thing is real, the “Ray floret” on the flower head, looks exactly like the Aries ♈️ symbol and most definitely (in northeast) the first yellow to be seen!
One person came to mind when this amazing conversation mentioned Aries and wit - Paul Rudd has a stellium in Aries and he’s quite a hilarious actor + comedian.
He comes across Cancerian to me🤔.
I love the dynamics between you two, great job (Aries Rising) my self and you are bang on.
1:20:32 'just a crazy person doing weird shit'
IDK why but this had me rolling.
