Type 1 Aries
The Reformer, Sun in Aries
The Sun in Aries gives you an engine of enthusiasm and initiative, and type 1, the Reformer, makes you react on instinct first, with a keen sense of what is right. Together, they make a frank, direct energy: when you believe in something, you go for it.
What sets you in motion
Doing things right, living in line with your values and improving the world around you. Your Sun is in a cardinal sign: you like to launch, open up, set things in motion. In a type 1, this energy naturally heads towards what can be improved and made fairer.
Your combined strengths
Your Sun in Aries gives you: courage, frankness, initiative. Your type 1: integrity, rigour, a sense of justice. Together, you excel at launching, unblocking, opening a new path. Routine wears you down; a challenge wakes you up.
What you are looking for deep down
To be good, upright and balanced. You move forward by blazing the trail, with an energy that loves beginnings and challenges taken on the spot.
In relationships
In love as in friendship, you get straight to the point and give yourself fully: you love lively closeness and shared impulses, and you stand up for your people without hesitation. Your type adds an underlying fear, which a safe bond soothes: being at fault, bad or corrupt.
On good days and bad days
When you are thriving, you find the lightness and spontaneity of type 7: you allow yourself pleasure and joy without justifying it. Under pressure, you can slide towards type 4: you feel misunderstood and withdraw into your emotions and into what is missing. When pressure rises, lean on your Fire element: get moving again, with a walk, a short project or a challenge your size.
Your paths
Two common pitfalls: a demanding inner voice that judges quickly, yourself included, and impatience when things drag on. Your growth path: welcoming imperfection, yours as well as other people's, with the same kindness.
