"Battle or Strife"

From Greek / Roman

Aries means ram — from the Latin, the first sign of the zodiac and the constellation that marks the vernal equinox. Aries is the beginning of the astrological year — the sign of pioneers, warriors, and those who go first. The golden ram of Greek mythology carried Phrixus to safety. Five letters of zodiac-first energy, warrior-ram power, and the sign that always charges ahead.
