The Aires is besides being a symbol of purity, it embodies the meanings of simplicity and innocence. In fact, Jesus Christ himself is repeatedly represented by this animal.
It represents spring, the renewal of nature. Associated with the element Fire, it embodies the qualities of strength, power and creative energy. In Egyptian symbolism the sun God Ra is represented with an Aries head. The solar character of this animal is also illustrated in the myth of the Golden Fleece (nothing but a Aries skin), conquered by Jason, who gives it to Pelias in remembrance of the glorious expedition of the Argonauts, Aries was taken up into the sky, giving its name to a constellation. Aries is one of the major symbol of energy, dynamism and regeneration. Among the Celts, a snake body with an Aries head represented the magic of birth and the origin of life.
