Aries Zodiac

As the sign of springtime and of new beginnings, the zodiac's leader, Aries, the great ram, led the flocks of stars across the ancient Babylonian skies. Its main star, Hamal, was known there as the 'Star of the Flocks' and 'the Proclaimer of the Dawn'. In Greek legend, it was the flying, supernatural ram which could both speak and reason, and its famous Golden Fleece, hanging in a sacred grove, became the treasured prize of Jason and the Argonauts, who won it with the help of the great sorceress and herbalist, Medea. In Greece and Egypt, it was a symbol of the original, divine, creative spirit. It lies between Taurus and Pisces on the zodiac band
