5° Aries: boldness that speaks up and sets ideas moving

The Gemini dwad brings speech into the fire: at 5° Aries, you act by telling the story and convince by moving.

5° Aries, from 5°00′ to 5°59′, opens the Gemini dwad, which lays a lively curiosity and a taste for exchange and information over Martian energy. First decan, co-ruled by Mars, and last degree of Jupiter’s term before Venus takes over: you can still feel the generosity of the “great benefic” before gentleness steps onto the stage. Together they form an expressive degree, talkative in the good sense, that thinks fast and says what it thinks.

A Sun at 5° Aries shines through speech: it launches ideas, connects people, enjoys a stimulating controversy. A Moon here needs to put its emotions into words, or they pile up. Venus charms with humor and verbal daring; Mars becomes formidable in debate. For an Ascendant at 5° Aries, the manner is quick, the hands talk as much as the mouth, and you come across as directly, informally intelligent.

Your lever for growth is depth. This degree’s quickness of mind can skim over subjects that call for patience: choose one theme and really go for it, read the whole book, listen to the answer to the end. Also leave a silence after your sharpest sentences; they gain weight that way. You have the talent for getting energy to circulate, and maturity lies in knowing when to set it down so it can make its way.
