Aries: The first sign of the Zodiac; the Ram; the Initiating Fire; Ruled by Mars God of War.

This episode thrusts forward into the journey of the Zodiac, penetrating into the Zodiac sign of Aries. It begins with the ram itself, play-fighting when young then locking horns as an adult. We then move into a short meditation to feel that fire within ourselves and how it might be present or missing.

Along the way we meet the Aries-dominant figures of James Hillman reflecting on his book The Terrible Love of War and Joseph Campbell who brought the world the template for the Hero's Journey and the concept of the 'mono-myth' (an oxymoron as myth, in essence, is poly).

We hear about the Golden Fleeced Ram who became the constellation of Aries. And then join the head-strong, club-heavy, brute-strength force of Hercules, getting a taste of his adventures: his birth, the beginning of his 12 Labours, and his eventual death by his own armour.
