Aries opens the zodiac at the spring equinox — the moment daylight first outlasts the dark. Everything about the sign follows from that position: a starting point has no accumulation to lean on, so Aries runs on pure ignition; and it has no precedent to consult, so it has to act first and correct after. That isn't recklessness, it's the strategy the position dictates.
You'll recognise it here: your body has moved before the thought finished, and looking back the instinct was right more often than you'd credit; waiting isn't boring to you, it's draining; and your anger arrives fast and clears fast, while other people are still holding a grudge you've forgotten.
Running well, Aries is the reason something finally moved: when a group is stuck, your presence is the solution. Blocked, it goes two ways. One is speed in the wrong direction, because stopping to check the heading is more uncomfortable than continuing. The other is a trail of things opened and none held, because holding takes an entirely different kind of energy. What Aries practises isn't slowing down. It's finding someone to hand off to after the start: your value is zero to one, and forcing yourself to ten only wears down what you're good at.
