The Zodiac Signs: What Are Their Origin Stories? (3 of 7)

Aries: March 21st – April 19th

Aries, the first sign of the zodiac, originates from Greek mythology. It symbolizes the ram whose fleece was sought by Jason and the Argonauts. Zeus placed it among the stars to honor its sacrifice. Aries embodies courage, leadership, and the start of spring in astrology.

Fun fact: Ariens have superhuman sleeping abilities. While a normal person can easily wake up to the gentle crow of a rooster, it takes at least a dozen alarm clocks going off simultaneously to jolt an Arien from their slumber.

Taurus: April 20th – May 20th

Gazing at the bull-shaped stars, ancient Greeks imagined Zeus, disguised as a bull, kidnapping Europa. This celestial bull, forever immortalized, became the constellation Taurus, a reminder of divine power and forbidden love.

Fun fact: Taureans speak the language of the plant. They can coax chrysanthemums to bloom faster with whispered compliments and soothe stressed cacti with a gentle hum.
