What it means

Self-respect rests on what you did before others and without permission. You have the most energy at the start — of a new venture, a project, an argument. Your best decisions are made fast.

The flip side is that interest fades quickly in whatever is already running by itself; waiting and obeying drain you more than work does.

Not about you if your energy is greatest not at the start but in long, steady work, and you rarely manage to get ahead of others.

How to check it on yourself

Check it against your past — write your answer down before you look at the chart.

  1. If you have the Sun in Aries

    What should match. Think of three things you are proud of. At least two of them you started on your own initiative, not on someone's assignment.

    When it’s not about you. Two of the three are assignments you saw through — then this is not about you.
