The Ram — First Fire Sign
Aries is the first zodiac sign (0°–30° of the tropical zodiac), a cardinal fire sign ruled by Mars. It represents pure, undiluted initiative — the impulse to act, begin, assert, and pioneer. Aries energy is direct, courageous, impatient, and self-driven. In your chart, the house Aries occupies (and where Mars is placed) shows where you instinctively lead, compete, and push forward without waiting for permission.
