About the 1st Decanate of Aries

The 1st decanate of Aries (March 21 - March 30) is sub-ruled by Mars. This means Mars's energy colors your Aries Sun, adding a distinctive flavor to how you express your sign's core qualities. Each sign is divided into three decanates of 10 degrees each, and your decanate ruler acts as a secondary influence that makes your birthday unique within the broader Aries archetype.

Your Sun sits at approximately 9° Aries. The specific degree can shift by a day depending on the year you were born, since the Sun's exact position varies slightly from year to year. For a precise degree, calculate your full birth chart.
