What I Want to Know???....

     Aries (English pronunciation: /ˈeə.riːz/) is one of the constellations of the zodiac, located between Pisces to the west and Taurus to the east. Its name is Latin for ram, and its symbol is (Unicode ♈), representing a ram's horns. Aries was one of the 48 constellations described by the 2nd century astronomer Ptolemy, and remains one of the 88 modern constellations today.

     In the description of the Babylonian zodiac given in the clay tablets known as the MUL.APIN, the constellation now known as Aries was the final station along the ecliptic. It was known as ^MULLÚ.ḪUN.GÁ, "The Agrarian Worker". The MUL.APIN is held to have been compiled in the 12th or 11th century BCE, but it reflects a tradition which takes the Pleiades as marking vernal equinox, which was the case with some precision at the beginning of the Middle Bronze Age (early 3rd millennium BCE).

     In later Babylonian tradition, the name of the constellation changes to ^MULUDU.NITÁ "ram". The motive for the name change is unknown. John H. Rogers suggests that the "Agrarian Worker" became the "Ram" via association with the legendary figure of Dumuzi the Shepherd. Gavin White suggests that the sumerogram  LÚ "man" may have come to be understood as Akkadian lu "sheep".

     Aries only rose to its prominent position as the leading sign of the zodiac in the Neo-Babylonian (7th century BCE) revision of the Babylonian zodiac, as Hamal (α Ari) came to be located close to the point of vernal equinox.

     In Hellenistic astrology, the constellation of Aries is associated with the golden ram of Greek mythology that rescued Phrixos, taking him to the land of Colchis. Phrixos sacrificed the ram to the gods and hung its skin in a temple, where it was known as the Golden Fleece.
