Aries season officially runs from March 21 to April 19 every year (the exact start can shift by a day depending on the year because of the precession of the equinoxes, but March 29 always falls comfortably inside the Ram’s domain). So yes — you are 100% an Aries.
But being born on March 29 sign gives you a very specific flavor of Aries energy that differs slightly from, say, a March 23 or April 15 Aries. Let’s dive deep into what makes March 29 natives unique within their sign.
The Decan and Planetary Influence
Astrology divides each zodiac sign into three 10-day segments called decans. Each decan has its own sub-ruler that adds nuance:
- 1st decan Aries (March 21 – March 30) → ruled purely by Mars (the traditional ruler)
- 2nd decan Aries (March 31 – April 9) → sub-influenced by the Sun
- 3rd decan Aries (April 10 – April 19) → sub-influenced by Jupiter/Venus
March 29 falls on the very last day of the first decan, sometimes even straddling the line depending on the exact degree of the Sun that year. This makes March 29 Aries one of the purest expressions of Mars-ruled energy in the entire zodiac — raw, unfiltered, and intense.
You get almost none of the solar confidence of early April Aries or the Jupiterian luck of mid-April Aries. Instead, you are Aries distilled to its most primal essence: courage, impulse, willpower, and a near-constant internal ignition switch.
Core Personality Traits of March 29 Aries
- Extremely direct — sometimes brutally so
- A “leap before you look” instinct that is stronger than in most Aries
- Competitive to the bone, but usually in a clean, honorable way
- Surprisingly protective and loyal once someone earns your inner circle
- Restless spirit — boredom is your kryptonite
- Natural crisis responders; you thrive when things are on fire (figuratively or literally)
- Tendency toward impatience and starting 20 projects without finishing them
- A dry, sardonic sense of humor that can catch people off guard
Compared to later Aries, March 29 natives often feel less need to be “liked” and more need to be respected. You’ll walk away from a room full of admirers if even one person doubts your competence.
Famous March 29 Aries (Proof of the Pattern)
- Lucy Lawless (Xena: Warrior Princess) – the ultimate warrior woman archetype
- Elle Macpherson – nicknamed “The Body,” pure physical confidence and trailblazing energy
- Brendan Gleeson – intense, no-nonsense Irish actor
- Christopher Lambert – played immortal warriors and conquerors
- Marina Sirtis (Counselor Troi in Star Trek) – fiery beneath a calm exterior
- John Major (former UK Prime Minister) – quiet but steely determination
Notice the theme? Warriors, leaders, and people who project unmistakable strength even when they’re being charming.
Love and Compatibility
March 29 Aries fall fast and hard. You’re not known for playing games — if you want someone, you make it obvious (sometimes hilariously obvious). This directness is incredibly attractive to fire and air signs, but can overwhelm water and earth signs who need more emotional foreplay.
Best matches:
- Leo and Sagittarius (fellow fire — you speak the same language)
- copyright and Aquarius (air feeds your fire without trying to tame it)
- Another Aries (especially a later-degree Aries who has a touch more patience)
Challenging but magnetic: Libra (your opposite — the attraction is insane, but you’ll fight like cats and dogs).
Biggest relationship advice for March 29 natives: Learn the difference between honesty and brutality. Your tongue can be a sword. Wield it carefully with people you love.
Career and Money
You were built for roles that require immediate action and leadership under pressure:
- Emergency medicine, firefighting, military
- Startup founders and entrepreneurs
- Professional athletes or coaches
- Surgeons, trial lawyers, political campaign managers
You tend to make money quickly — and spend it quickly. Delayed gratification is not your forte. Many March 29 Aries go through a “bankruptcy and comeback” cycle at least once before learning financial discipline (usually in their late 30s or early 40s).
Health and Weaknesses
Classic Aries hot spots: head, face, adrenal glands. March 29 natives are especially prone to:
- Migraines and tension headaches from repressed anger
- Scalp issues or hair loss from stress
- Accidents caused by moving too fast (you’ve probably had at least one dramatic scar)
- Burnout — you don’t know how to downshift until your body forces you to
Best self-care hack: Any high-intensity sport that lets you hit or run (boxing, sprinting, Brazilian jiu-jitsu). You process emotions physically; talk therapy alone rarely cuts it.
The Spiritual Lesson of March 29 Aries
Most Aries learn the lesson of courage.
March 29 Aries, because you sit at the very end of the first decan, often come into this life already having courage in spades. Your deeper lesson is usually mastering the pause — learning that not every impulse needs to be acted on instantly, and that true strength sometimes means waiting one extra second before you swing.
When a March 29 Aries finally integrates that lesson, they become unstoppable — the rare person who has both the instinct to charge and the wisdom to know exactly when charging is the right move.
So happy birthday if today is your day. You are the spark that starts the zodiacal year’s fire — pure, bright, and impossible to ignore.
