Aries
the golden ram
Today this word meansThe constellation counted first among the twelve zodiac signs.
The very ram of the Golden Fleece that Jason went after. It carried two children on its back and flew them all the way to Colchis.
Two thousand years ago the spring equinox fell here, which made it the head of the twelve.
Precession has since shifted the equinox into Pisces, but the order stayed frozen.
