If you wanted to get a good understanding of your zodiac sign, you could look up a list of personality traits, find out which celebrities share your sign, learn about your element, or just ask an astrology-obsessed friend to give you the lowdown. We’re big fans of all of these options, but here’s a little-known fact: one of the best–and simplest–ways to understand your sign is to learn your creed.
What is this creed we speak of? Well, each sign has a specific creed that represents what’s most important to them, how they function in the world, and their philosophy on life. This creed is a deeply rooted way of being; it sums up who we are. Even though the traits of each sign manifest differently in each person, your creed can be seen as a common thread that links you together with the other members of your zodiac sign. Ready to find out yours? Here we go…
Aries (March 21st-April 19th): “I Am.” With an Aries, what you see is always what you get. Your actions are true to yourself and you have the gift of being fully present and engaged in every moment.
