April 7 in profile
By 17° the Leo decan is well established and its sub-ruler, the Sun, has given the Mars drive a code of honour. An April 7 Aries fights for things that seem fair and refuses to be pushed around. The middle degrees keep the sign in its classic form: forthright, energetic and allergic to delay. There is pride here as well, and a strong wish to be the one who did the brave thing first.
Risk is a test they set themselves. They take the job abroad, say yes to the steep descent on a bike or quit the safe contract to try something new. Fear registers, but it arrives as a dare rather than a stop sign. They are at their best when a risk has a clear purpose, such as protecting someone or proving a point that matters to them.
Anger flares quickly and burns out almost as fast. In an argument they raise their voice, say exactly what they think and want the matter settled before bed. Sulking is foreign to them, and they can be baffled when someone else holds a grudge for days. The Sun’s pride makes apologising harder than it should be. A short, plain sorry offered first costs little and ends most of their quarrels.
