The Aries Oracle
You find yourself walking in a pleasant pasture in spring, the ground studded with some kind of white flowers everywhere. You can see the moon in the sky and even the morning star. As you’re going along, you get the inclination to just sit a while. You can’t explain it but you know something is going to come along that’s important for you, right here and now.
Hands and feet in the grass, you’re gazing at the sky when an ancient ram spirit appears, small at first then getting closer as it approaches - its fleece golden, its horns spiraled just so, and flying on enormous wings to make its way to you.
You have found The Aries oracle, and it has a story to share with you today.
The Aries Oracle says:
Your arrival feels like someone struck a match. Into any room, any space, any circumstance, any situation, any group - your entrance is felt immediately. Your presence cannot be ignored, because it comes with action.
If things aren’t moving, you’re going to make them move. Your signature way of putting things in motion is passionate, often sudden, and always unexpected. You make your choice, grab it by the horns, and go all in.
This is how you end up proposing preposterous schemes and then, to everyone’s shock, actually carrying them out. This is how you fight for yourself and what you value so fiercely it makes the opposition join your side. This is how you make decisions others might consider brash or reckless, but that work out for you nearly 100% of the time. Fortune favors the brave.
You are the instigator, the fire starter, the literal trail blazer - the one who will lead others right into the flames without flinching. When everyone else is saying: We didn’t start that fire. You’re like: That’s right. Because I did.
Walls? Never met one that couldn’t be knocked down. Barriers? For busting through. Obstacles? Meant to be knocked over. Your decisive, unwavering attitude toward what you want and how you want it to be blows away everything put in your path. In fact, you may not even realize the size of the challenges you take on and win over - that’s how natural it is for you to take bold, fearless action and watch everything move forward.
When you take the charge, things around you become joyful, determined, and exciting - even when it looks like chaos to those who can’t match the energy.
You’re the one who shows up with a butane torch to a birthday party and everyone goes: Are you going to use that on the cake?! Until the second you fire it up and light all the candles at once. You say: Look, the cake is lit. Now we can get to the good stuff.
