In this series of articles, we are going to take a look at the influence and the meaning of specific dominants. In order to better understand the concept of dominants, read the article About chart dominants, where I have explained in more detail the idea of dominants and how you can determine the dominants in your own chart.

What is the purpose of having an Aries / Mars / First house dominant in the chart?
You were born with a chart that strongly emphasizes the energy of Aries. In this life, you are meant to embody the archetype of the warrior, the pioneer and the hero and to display its positive qualities, namely bravery, courage, confidence, enthusiasm and individuality. You may have lacked these qualities in your prior lives or you were unable to use them properly, so you were blessed with an extra dose this time around. You came into this life equipped with this particular energy so that you could fulfil your life purpose or reach an important goal, which eluded you in the previous incarnations. On top of that, this dominant will help you grow and evolve on a personal level, which is the ultimate purpose of every incarnation.
So how can you grow and evolve? It seems that you came here to do one or more of the following: to work on your individuality, to develop your courage or to be a fighter of some kind. You are learning how to go after the things you want without worrying about how your actions are going to affect everyone else or worrying about others' opinions. This time around, it's about you. What do you want? Who do you want to be? If you weren't afraid, what would you do? If you didn't care about others' reactions, what would you pursue?
This dominant is meant to help you break free from conforming for the sake of fitting in. You are here to forge your own path, not follow someone else's. You are supposed to be the brave individual who dares to be real instead of being polite. It's important that you don't shy away from going your own way, even if it leads to disagreements or conflicts with others. Your individuality is your biggest asset. Don't let others discourage you from becoming an independent, non-compromising, strong individual. Seeing your courage and boldness will show others that they don't have to simply conform to what is - they can make their own way instead. You are here to be the warrior, the pioneer and the hero.
