Sun in Aries: what it means
The Sun is in Aries from about March 21 to April 19. Aries is a cardinal fire sign, ruled by Mars. Fire signs act on enthusiasm and conviction. Cardinal signs begin things.
What an Aries Sun is like
You come alive at the starting line. An idea lands and your body is already moving toward it, often before the plan exists. You say what you think in the moment, get angry fast and get over it faster, and rarely hold a grudge past lunch. Waiting on other people's hesitation wears you out more than hard work does. The cost is a trail of half-finished projects that were thrilling in week one and chores by week six.
Greatest strength
You make the first move when everyone else is still weighing whether it is safe to try.
Where it stretches you
Staying with something after the novelty fades, and letting others set the pace sometimes, stretches you most.
Aries Sun in love
You pursue openly and prefer a partner who pushes back over one who agrees to keep the peace. Arguments flare and clear quickly; long silences bother you far more than raised voices.
Aries Sun at work
You do your best work launching, rescuing or competing, with a clear target and room to act alone. Slow consensus and endless review cycles drain your drive quickly.
Is Sun in Aries really yours?
The Sun enters Aries around March 21 and leaves around April 19. The exact minute moves from year to year, so if you were born within a day or two of either date, a calendar cannot tell you which side you are on. A calculated chart can.

What the Sun means in a chart
In a birth chart the Sun describes the centre of your character: what you are working to become, where you want to be seen, and what restores your energy. It is the sign most people mean when they say "my sign". It is also only one of about a dozen points in a chart, which is why two people with the same Sun sign can be so different.
One placement is never the whole picture. A full reading weighs the Sun, the Moon, the rising sign, every planet, the houses they fall in and the angles between them. You can read a complete sample reading to see how the pieces fit together.
