Aries is compared to the caveman or Man in his most masculine, potent and passionate form, depending upon his instincts for survival. On the esoteric level, the symbol stands for upward flow of spirit, and it can also be said to represent the sprouting of a seed, signifying potentiality. Being ruled by the Ram it also looks like its curved horns, symbolising the assertive and thrusting nature of the sign and the ability to meet challenges head on. The Aries glyph has also been described as the eyebrows and nose of a human being.
