Aries Archetype

Archetype is a very typical example of a person or thing. In this blog we explore the Aries archetype. The association with a person helps us remember the salient points of the sign.

Aries represents energy and lots of it; like its symbol – a Ram Aries is a male and active sign. It is a Fire sign, and is a moveable sign. All these together show a penchant for action and adventure. The archetype for Aries is Adolf Hitler. Below is the chart of Hitler.

Adolf Hitler

Aries is prominent in Hilter’s chart. His ascendant is in Aries. He has four grahas in Aries and runs the mahadasha of three of them. The sign flavors the behavior of the grahas in the sign.

Mars, the commander-in-cheif, is at home in the sign of energy. Mars epitomizes all the qualities of Aries and hence Aries is the moolatrikona house of Mars. The qualities greatly help a King. Therefore, Aries is the sign of exaltation for the Sun (the King). Hitler wanted to rule the world and used his military might to conquer the world.

Hitler has Venus in Aries. Not many know that Hitler studied fine arts and applied twice to the Academy of Fine Arts, Vienna to pursue his art interest. He was rejected both times. We can only wonder what the world would be if Hitler had become an artist instead! The Aries influence on Venus, however, made Hitler want to covet art and he did so by looting and hoarding art from all the countries he conquered.

Mercury rules communications. Hitler was a brilliant orator. His oratorical skills, true to Aries, were full of energy and were used to rile up his supporters.

Energy can be good or bad. On the positive front, the same energy can make someone a pioneer and an inventor. Positive energy can also make one excel in sports and the armed forces. The main reason for the negativity in Hitler’s chart is a weak ascendant lord. Venus, his ascendant lord, is in an enemy sign and is influenced by two very strong malefics, in the Sun and Mars. Mars’ influence is the greatest because Aries is also Mars’ house. Venus is also in a planetary war with Mars and is further aspected by Saturn.
