Is Aries a Sign That Reflects?
Aries, as a sign, lacks the inclination to dwell on the past, to reflect in the soulful, melancholic way that other signs might. Reflection, in the sense of gazing into the past is not part of Aries’ intrinsic nature. It is not concerned with why something happened or how it felt in hindsight; it is…
