sign are highly creative but have much duality in their nature as they go back<br />
and forth between extremes. <strong>The</strong>y have intense love as well as deeply rooted<br />
hatred. <strong>The</strong>y are extremely energetic but lethargic and lazy at the same time.<br />
<strong>The</strong> polarized energy <strong>of</strong> the male and the female principles represented by<br />
this sign give a tremendous attraction for the opposite sex. Aries born are<br />
ardent lovers but not exploiters. <strong>The</strong>ir urge to unite is spontaneous. <strong>The</strong>y are<br />
generally guided by altruistic motives. In such experiences, however, they<br />
discover themselves, their inner motives and powers and their path <strong>of</strong> inner<br />
growth.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Tau cross represents the path <strong>of</strong> unfoldment <strong>of</strong> the divine energy. <strong>The</strong><br />
first zodiacal impulse produces the basic undercurrent <strong>of</strong> divinity as Well as<br />
the path <strong>of</strong> its unfoldmenl. <strong>The</strong> first blades <strong>of</strong> grass or leaves <strong>of</strong> a tree have<br />
to exert tremendous force in the sprouting process. This characteristic is very<br />
true for the Aries person. <strong>The</strong>y have to struggle hard in life.<br />
Only after strenuous efforts are their inner capacities externalized, but when<br />
it occurs, it is a joyous moment, an enthralling experience. <strong>The</strong>ir life is never<br />
easy and restful. <strong>The</strong>y are like Sinbad the Sailor, moving from one place to<br />
another in search <strong>of</strong> new experiences and developing new faculties.<br />
<strong>The</strong> resemblance to a serpent's tongue also emphasizes the dual nature <strong>of</strong><br />
Arian energy. <strong>The</strong> tongue <strong>of</strong> the serpent is associated with its venom which<br />
can be used for curative as well as destructive purposes. Depending upon the<br />
situation and the quantum <strong>of</strong> venom used, the dose can be lethal or can<br />
counteract the most deadly poison. In the same way the impact <strong>of</strong> Aries can<br />
be highly creative or can destroy instantaneously. It is not the thought<br />
aroused by Aries which precipitates such a result but the basic impulse <strong>of</strong><br />
Aries expressed as emotion and passion.<br />
<strong>The</strong> two spreading arcs, or wings <strong>of</strong> the vertical line, link the sign with the<br />
material plane <strong>of</strong> existence. It does not imply that there is no urge towards<br />
spirituality. <strong>The</strong> two arcs, as two newly formed leaves or two horns <strong>of</strong> the<br />
ram, suggest the presence <strong>of</strong> both the urge towards materialization and that<br />
for the release from it. One arc represents the origin from the primordial<br />
source and the evolutionary course that immerses itself in '' material<br />
existence. It corresponds to the first quarter <strong>of</strong> the circumference <strong>of</strong> the<br />
circle that represents the divine impulse moving toward materialization (see<br />
p. 27). This arc as a part <strong>of</strong> the Aries symbol shows that the materialization<br />
impulse generated by Aries almost ceases when its energy begins to<br />
concretize in an effective way.<br />
<strong>The</strong> second arc starts from the level when the urge towards liberation;<br />
becomes irresistible. It represents the fourth quarter <strong>of</strong> the circumference.<br />
<strong>The</strong> two arcs taken together represent Aries. Together they indicate that.
