I am sad to admit that this will be the last issue of Sasstrology, ever.

Just kidding, happy April Fool’s Day, and happy birthday to all of you Aries out there.

In honor of it being Aries season, this month we’ll find out the mythology behind the constellation and zodiac sign of Aries.

One the symbols for Aries is the ram, which is most known in Greek mythology from the story of Jason and the Argonauts, and their quest for the golden fleece, which was from Aries the ram.

However, before its fleece was well known, it was a gift to a woman named Nephele, whose husband just left her, from the Greek god, Hermes. Nephele’s ex persecuted her children and in order to keep them safe she sent them on the back of the ram to the east, where her ex-husband wouldn’t find her children.

One of the children died on the journey, but the other one made it to the home of a king named Aeetes. The child sacrificed the ram to the god and presented the golden fleece to the king. The ram was honored by the gods and became a constellation.

That is all, story-time is over, and now the moment that you’ve been waiting for, the “last” issue of horoscopes.
