Labors of Hercules – The Myth in Aries

Author: Therese Rossignol

The Man-Eating Mares

In this labor, Hercules rushes forward to capture the mares. His impulsive, enthusiastic, and headlong dive into action helps us to understand how the Aries influenced personality acts. It is an active, bold, and energetic sign, and for Hercules, there is no fear of challenge or the battle. Hercules acts here as the representative of the soul and begins this journey with a bold fearlessness that is typical of Aries.
