Arrius

**SIGN OF THE VISUALIZER**

AR\* [BURGUNDY CASTE] // \*RIUS [DERSE + HOPE]

The alternative sway of Arrius is Arnius, and the opposite sign is Libicorn.

The official website defines Arrius in three segments: sign class, lunar sway, and aspect.

Adventure motivates Rust Signs more than anything else. They crave new experiences, the wilder and farther-from-home, the better. They are confident and energetic, ready to face the unknown. This dynamism makes them great leaders, but it can also make them foolhardy. Often, they don't posses the level of caution they should for someone so willing to jump into new things. Their willingness to trust can get them into trouble, but they are also incredibly resilient. Their ability to bounce back from trauma and injury leaves them as the toughest sign class on the spectrum. Rust Signs make great friends and traveling companions, but they also can be selfish and quick to anger. If what they deem to be an acceptable level of "excitement" isn't happening around them, they have a tendency to try to stir some up. They love the drama. They have incredibly high expectations for themselves and for romantic partners. If someone doesn't live up to these, they may deem them not worth their time. If they aren't careful, Rust Signs can end up in a cycle of excitement, followed by crushed expectations, followed by a quick recovery and new flush of excitement.

Derse Dreamers have personalities marked by a distinct and restless skepticism. Whatever their waking circumstances, chances are they will live in a state of dissatisfaction. Rebellion is in their blood, manifesting whether they are fighting back against a fascist dictatorship, or the most recent trend in casual footwear. Derse Dreamers are cerebral and self-aware; they have a far better grasp on the landscape of their own minds than on the world around them, which they can find alienating and confusing. But as so much of their identity is built on control, they will do their utmost to hide any insecurities, often with false humility or self-deprecating humor. They may be inflexible and pessimistic, but they are also great problem solvers, facing conflicts head-on with shrewd, calculating minds. They see one true path among an infinite snarl of wrong ones. They tend to be introverted, but if you win their trust Derse Dreamers are extremely powerful allies. However, they find sincere vulnerability difficult and will often keep people at arm's length. Letting go and living in the moment is hard for a Derse Dreamer; they constantly look toward the future and analyze the past.

Those bound to the aspect of Hope are driven first and foremost by their convictions. They do right for right's sake, and are quick to come to the aid of anyone they deem to be experiencing injustice. That said, their views of the world can be quite black and white, so what they see as the "right" thing may not always be the universally accepted view. They put great value in the power of the imagination, the ability to dream up a better and more beautiful future. If anyone could dream a better world into existence, it would be one of the Hope-bound. They may sound like all sunshine and rainbows, but they aren't adverse to a little destruction, especially if they think they can replace it with something better and more just. At their best, Hope-bound are positive, caring, and warm. At their worst they can be narrow-minded and selfish.

Aries (from the Greek Κριός, and the Latin *Ariēs*) is the first (1st) of the twelve (12) western zodiac signs. It takes inspiration from the zodiac Aries "The Ram", and people born within the months of March 21st to April 19th are known to be an Aries. The zodiac Aries is one (1) of six (6) positive signs, one (1) of four (4) cardinal signs, and one (1) of three (3) fire signs alongside Leo and Sagittarius. The associated color of Aries is red. The sign ruler of Aries is Mars, the detriment is Venus, the exhaltation is Sun, and the fall is Saturn.

The six (6) positive signs (Aries, Gemini, Leo, Libra, Sagittarius, and Aquarius) are known as the signs with a Positive Polarity. This is in reference to the energy that the sign holds. These six (6) signs are traditionally known as the active, Yang, expressive, or "masculine" signs. The positive signs also include the fire and air triplicities.

The three (3) modalities or modes in reference to a sign is talking about the position it can be found in during each season. The four (4) elements manifests in three (3) modalities: Cardinal, Fixed, and Mutable. They are also known as the Quadruplicities, because they are grouped with four (4) signs in each group, one sign of each element. Each of the three (3) modes also have specific traits that the signs grouped to them hold or example. Cardinal signs are known for their action, dynamic, initiative, and great force. The Cardinal signs are Aries (fire), Cancer (water), Libra (air), and Capricorn (earth).

The four (4) elements (Air, Earth, Fire, and Water) are attributed to the twelve (12) western zodiac signs, and each group corresponds to a specific group of traits often found in those signs, along with a personality type that was proposed by the Greek physician, Hippocrates. These groups are known as the Four Element Triplicities. One of these groups is Fire which has been known to house the traits of Assertive, Drive, Willpower. According to Hippocrates, the Fire element correlates to the Choleric personality type. Choleric people are described to be Neurotic Extroverts or Unstable Extroverts, which means that they tend to be touchy, restless, and agressively optimistic.

Aries people are active and have turbulent personalities. Sometimes they're known for their organizational skills, but when they get impatient you can see that all fall to ruin, which happens often. Aries aren't afraid to fight for what they want or what they believe in, they're natural leaders and are courageous and optimistic. They can sometimes be short-tempered, impulsive, and aggressive, but they generally don't mean any harm and just want to live life to the fullest, making sure that everyone is having as much fun as they are. Aries is always looking for a way to turn what they're doing into a game, and you can always count on them doing their best to win the game.

Whether it be a friendship, relationship, or some other kind of bond between people, Aries is very compatible and they have a magnetic personality. The best relationships for Aries are with Leo, Gemini, Aquarius, and Sagittarius people, because they often show the same kind of excitement and desire as the Aries. Taurus and Libra people also compliment the fiery, intensive air that the Aries brings to relationships. More delicate relationships though, such as those with Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces, or other Aries people, may be more tricky to handle and will have to have more strength and dedication into to make sure that they don't fall apart because of a disagreement or something similar.
