Zodiac greeting card “Aries”

Aries (March 21st – April 19th) is the first sign in the Zodiac and is depicted by a ram. Ruled by the planet mars and a fire sign, the personality of Arians is warm, passionate and adventurous.

People born under this sign are often leaders, or people who want to do things right this minute now, without thinking too much or waiting around. They’re courageous, pioneering and self-assertive, love spending time with other people and are very sociable.

Prose on the inside left of card reads (by Josephine Wall):

Aries
March 21 – April 20
In the Zodiac’s first house
dwells Aries the Ram,
a confident creature
whose key phrase is ‘ I am ‘.
It’s the sign of new beginnings;
these bright souls never rest
till they’ve asserted their will
and accomplished their best.
Impulsive and vibrant,
their energy shines through
in the open-hearted passion
they bring to all they do.

Prose on the inside right of card reads (by Josephine Wall):
“You are a very special part
of my universe.”

Josephine Wall was born in Farnham, Surrey, England. Her work now is receiving worldwide acclaim inlcuding a nomination at the Arty Awards (the artworld equvalent of the oscars). She works mostly with acrylic paint and has been infuenced by the romanticism of the Pre-Raphaelites, surrealist artists like Salvador Dali and the illustrative work of Arthur Rackham.

From childhood she has had a passion for light and colour, fantasy and visual story telling. Much of the inspiration for her mystical images comes from her close observation of nature and her interest in its preservation. Though she often strives to impart a message in her scenes, she also hopes to inspire in her audience a personal journey into the magical world of their own imagination.

“The art of painting is more than a career to me,” she says, “it is an all consuming obsession and a love of colour and form. In fact, if I am away from my easel for too long I become restless and anxious to paint again.”
