Re-wind and start again, kind of like Pisces-Aries. I am a typical Pisces (two Luminaries and chart ruler), however with so many astrological influences in the chart there is really no such thing as your "typical" Pisces, when I refer to a sign I am just referring to it's purest level, undiluted or chemically changed by any other substance on the chart (Astrology-Science). I flunked Science funnily enough, it's not one of my majors. Actually, I failed at a lot of subjects, but I was never driven academically. Too day-dreamy as a youngster, and the tendency to let other people push in front of me was a major fault or even mistake on my part. I should regularly invite my Aries neighbour round for coffee and biscuits, if they have time to chat and don't need to rush off on their next adventure. Aries can teach me a lot of about my own identity needs, desires and to not give up on life. Live life to the full. Actually all the fire signs can teach me these lessons.
Anyway back to the topic at hand, I drift off like the "typical Pisces" I will for the remainder of the post focus (Virgo) my thoughts.
I have had a lot of Aries people in my life. I was born to an Aries mother and an Aquarius father in 1979, I was a late 70's baby, 80' child, 90's teenager, naughty - 00's adult. My sister has Moon in Aries, and our Moons have very different emotional needs, and we did clash when we were younger. I have had Aries best friends, but sooner or later we have come to blows, due to our different natures. For the most part I was the follower, and would let Aries lead. However, disagreements, confusions, and annoyances did eventually lead to the breakup of these friendships. I will admit that I did enjoy their friendship while it lasted, and both friends had a really good sense of humour, lots of energy and they always wanted to be active. If they didn't push me OUT THE FRONT DOOR (ASC/ARIES word-play). I would have probably have stayed at home in my pyjamas watching T.V, and I wouldn't have had much of a social life to be honest. All my Arian pals liked to party
.
I can be thankful I had these Aries friends with their courage to live life to the full, at the time I didn't recognise how valuable their contribution to my life has been. Even now I am fearful and anxious, but I do understand the lessons they have tried to teach me, just by being themselves. Perhaps on some psychological level I needed Arian pals as part of my growth. I have NN in the 1st house and this has attracted more independent people in my life. I will be honest I perceived them as selfish at times, but this was COMPLETELY subjective coming from a Piscean perspective, and many times they viewed me as elusive and hard to reach or understand emotionally.
I was involved with a man who had his Sun in Aries. The relationship lasted for about 3 years, he had Sun in Aries opposed Saturn. The Sun sign ruler Mars is in Aries opposed Saturn. Sadly, he acted the lower archetypal energy of his configuration and was violent, selfish, harsh and cold. On the career level he worked with heavy (Saturn) metals (Mars) he was a trained Welder. However, when he had no job, money, or social life - he didn't really have anywhere to expend his energy, and would end up feeling frustrated, angry and battled with his sense of failure. This depressed his Aries need to be confident, independent, and potent. I could sympathize with him knowing the difficult planetary energy he had to contend with on a daily basis.
My partner had the planet of relationships, love and affection (Venus) in Aries (detriment) and opposed his Saturn in Libra, he had a very difficult horoscope, and made more difficult in youth. Age may temper his energy and he will learn how to integrate it, but he was challenged by Saturn severely. This was affecting a large part of his life from his self-esteem, feelings of worth, his self-confidence in regards to his own masculinity, and achievements. Being an Aries with the planet of limitations, road blocks, and time (Saturn) has it's conflicts for the obvious reasons. I do believe if enough awareness is present, all his cardinal energy can lead to achievement, but only if his Arian confidence and natural potency doesn't get too battered by authority, rejection, and self-esteem/failure complexes etc. Typically being neighboring patners in many respects ARIES/PISCES he was seen as the selfish and cold partner (Saturn), and I was the martyr, who suffered the abuse.
I have often thought about what lessons I have learned from my relationship with him, and I suppose if my needs, and rights to be an individual are denied. It powerfully inflames my need to define my identity (Saturn/NN in 1st house). My neighbour teaches me a lot about life...How to move forward and not keep falling back on my self-defeating habits, to have confidence in myself as a separate individual.
