It represents individuality and the ability to take the initiative. In Greek mythology, Aries is associated with the golden fleece, a symbol of power and wealth.

Among the ancient Egyptians, Aries was associated with the god Amun-Ra, represented with the head of a ram. Amon-Ra was the god of the sun, fertility and creativity. The ram's horns have often been associated with the cornucopia, a symbol of abundance and prosperity. Mutton, in itself, is a symbol of fertility.
