About this print
Aries is traced as a spare four-star figure in near-black, gold and warm ivory. Supplied unframed at A4 on 250 gsm uncoated off-white archival paper.
For star-sign readers, Aries runs from about 21 March to 19 April. In the sky, Aries is a small, faint group whose brightest star, Hamal, is easy to find on autumn and winter evenings from the UK, between Pisces and the Pleiades.
About 2,000 years ago the Sun crossed the celestial equator in Aries at the March equinox, which is why that point is still called the First Point of Aries. Precession has since carried it west into Pisces. In the old story the ram is the one whose golden fleece Jason sailed to find.
Part of a series of twelve, each drawn in near-black, gold and warm ivory, so any number of them hang together.
Sign dates by month: March star signs · April star signs
Aries plate: four catalogue stars joined by three of the usual figure lines. It is drawn for the wall, not for measuring exact star positions.
