MARCH 21 – APRIL 19
CARDINAL FIRE
RULING PLANET: MARS
COLOR: Red
KEYWORDS: Leadership, Independence, Enthusiasm
Aries is the first sign in the zodiac and rightfully so as natural leaders and independent people, flying solo is their comfort zone in a lot of areas of their lives. Aries knows how to focus and take care of themselves, if you haven’t taken care of yourself first… how can you take the next step?! They’re often well-groomed, neat, and generally organized and optimistic. They also make wonderful friends and can be very generous and helpful, treat others as you’d treat yourself… it makes perfect sense to Aries. You’re in good company, their magnetic and energetic spirit is refreshing to be around and can bring out the best in everyone.
Good friends in return can help Aries stay on track, while their energy to lead is strong… it can fizzle out if they lose interest or get bored as a cardinal fire sign. Sometimes that can even stem from putting so much pressure on themselves to lead! Let them take a rest when they need to and remind them they don’t need to have all the answers. These go-getters are brave and can take their friends and loved ones far when you hop on for the ride with some definite laughs along the way.
Shopping for Aries? Spa day! Aries loves to take care of themselves and why shouldn’t they? An easy win is a gift card for a massage, mani/pedi, spa… you name it. Or try a shopping gift card if they love fashion, make them feel special and give them a break. The “head” represents Aries, so you can also consider hair accessories or tools, a hair stylist appointment, or a beautiful hat. Oh and if it comes in red… that just might be the one for them (whatever it may be!).
Happy Birthday, Aries! Time to shine. It’s Aries Season and the start of Spring! Celebrate Aries Birthdays, they’ll likely take the lead on how they want to party, so do them a solid and go with it. Show up, show them support, and have an awesome time. I wanted to make something RED for Aries… that is their color and the color of Mars, their ruling planet. Enter: Strawberry Jelly Donuts. With an independent sign, I couldn’t see cutting a cake for Aries. Go getters need their special sweet on-the-go! But it’s not all business, there’s definitely a gooey center in there. They’re more than happy to share with their friends, but need to be able to have their own 😉 And those curly ram horns?? Donuts all the way!! These beauties are made with coconut and oat flour and no refined sugar… Instead of topping them with sugar, I was in search for a better option. I got the idea to use freeze dried strawberries from the amazing Against All Grain blog.
With spring here and new beginnings all around, how will Aries Season inspire you? Take the lead more, don’t be shy, go for it! Don’t forget to put yourself first a little more, take care of yourself because if you don’t… who will!?! Make the time and dedicate it to the things you neglect or don’t get a chance to do for Y.O.U. Get some lovely flowers while you’re at it… these sunny narcissus flowers will brighten any mood and are the flower of March.

oh i love this, i am an aries! would this happen to work with flax or chia eggs if one doesn’t eat eggs? xxx
Yay! Happy (belated) bday 😉 – I haven’t tried it with an egg replacer, but I’ve used flax eggs in general for coconut flour and it usually works out well. Hope it helps! If you try it, let me know!
Woww… definitely saving this recipe. Will keep you posted when I get to making these!
Lovely, please do!!
These donuts are BEAUTIFUL. I can imagine they taste divine too! My mother is an Aries – so thanks for the informative post.. you’ve given me some good ideas for her birthday.
Lovely! Happy Birthday to your Mom <3
