Fiery Will
The planets each govern a dimension of life experience. Take Mars, for instance, and we say it’s mirrored in the will, motivation and the sexual drive.
And the Zodiac sign that planet is situated in, shows the way that dimension of life — is expressed.
Since Aries’ ruler is Mars, we can say that planets in Aries are Mars-inspired. They’re charged and on edge, ready to act.
