The Aries Ram

                                                                 *                                         

ARIES is an ancient constellation but wasn’t 
      recognized until nineteen twenty-two,
Eugène Delporte was the astronomer
who outlined the longitude and latitude. 
           Best seen in the Northern Hemisphere
in the late Winter and early Spring,
Aries lies in between Taurus’s 
   magic while listening to Pieces sing.  

Aries is the first sign of the 
         Zodiac in the universe’s Astrology, 
the Ram’s fleece was sought 
by Zeus in Greek mythology.
                   This constellation is ranked 
number thirty-nine in size
out of the eight-eight total; 
    it’s not very visual to the eyes. 

             Alpha Arietis is the brightest star 
creating the mighty Ram’s head, 
Beta and Gamma are two other 
                   stars making the horns instead. 
The three stars are the most well
known stars in this constellation, 
        bringing the robust Ram to life, 
when you use your imagination.

The Chinese see ARIES as double
              twin inspectors, not a Ram outline,
and the Marshall Islands see a 
porpoise, not an astrology sign.
                     Full of hot rage and fierce fire, 
and full of strength, I definitely am-
The first sign of the zodiac,
                                       for I am a red hot... AIRIES RAM.
