I've had this for a week now. I did have problems getting the correct color at first. I'm NC42 and the sales people at MAC kept insisting that I use C6 which was too dark for me. It looked like I went bronzer happy and honestly, I'm dark enough as it is so why on earth would I want a bronzer gone crazy look?! I finally went back to the MAC store for the 3rd time and insisted on getting the C5 which, as I always thought it would be... perfect. I've had it on all day in 85 degree weather and it's stayed on just fine. I have combo skin and while my t-zone could use a little bit of blotting, that's all that is needed. I've been BY the pool with the kids splashing me and the foundation didn't come off so it looks like it's water resistant enough. Tomorrow I will be at an amusement/water park and see how this holds up after that. If stays on, well, I'll have to bump this up to a 5 rating.
My application: I washed my face, put on spf15 Olay moisturizer and let it soak in. I then applied this with a stippling brush, waited a couple of minutes and then reapplied some more where I needed more coverage. While it didn't completely cover my freckles (or, gasp, age spots!) it did cover my dark under eye circles, slightly reddish nose, and fading acne scars. I was worried about what other reviewers have mentioned about a tacky feel but I don't really feel that. It feels just fine on my face after a long hot California day.
I like how much product you get for the price. Overall, I'll probably be purchasing this again once it runs out unless the MUFE Face and Body beats it out (I'll have to try that one next).

I bought this a couple of weeks ago as I had been looking for a light-weight, comfortable foundation that wouldn't melt in the heat of italian summers. This is exactly what I wanted: easy peasy to apply (I just use my fingers, spreads nicely and dries quickly); light coverage, although if I let it dry I find it layers quite well; natural, skinlike look, with just a little sheen to it. I usually go over it with a translucent powder just to mattify a little and to help it last longer. I have oily skin which combined with summer sweating usually makes me look shiny after a couple of hours, but I was pleasantly surprised with this: it still looks good after a whole day. I use this combined with the moisturecover concealer and I find they work well together. I chose colour C1 and even when I am a little more tan than usual the coverage is so light that it allows me to use it, I just top it off with a little bronzer.
all in all I am very well pleased with this product and I will repurchase when I finish it.

I have been meaning to write a review for this product for a while, and i LOVE IT!!!!
The price seems a little ridiculous when you first see it ($32 in the US), however, this bottle is 4.0 oz and it will last you FOREVER. I have been using it everyday for about 3 months now and I am just now making a dent in it (I have about 4/5th left). So don't let the price get you down, you will use this product forever and ever (and if you dont use it everyday, put it in the fridge so it doesnt separate too much and go bad).
As far as application goes, there are numerous ways to put it on depending on the coverage that you want. For the most coverage and a "dewy" look you should use a stippling brush, i put it on a CD, apply some to the brush and stipple it on to your face. You can add more coverage where needed. Some people use a sponge, I like this technique as well and even though it is a water based foundation and it will absorb very quickly the finish is AMAZING, and it allows you to apply heavier coverage in certain areas if you need to...but im a sponge girl in general. I also like to apply it with my hands, and then go over any spots that need more coverage with sponge and/or my concealer (MAC studio finish). The product "wears" best when it is warmed up, so rubbing it into your skin will give you the best coverage and make it look the most natural. Afterwards I will dust it with my Mineralize Skinfinish Natural...and my skin looks like my skin, just wayyyyy better. If your skin gets oily (which it will be more likely to do so with this foundation) I like to use a makeup sponge (the one I suggested you NOT use to apply the product) or go over with more MSF. Also...this product is virtually undertone free, I know that a lot of foundations can make you look too pink or orange, as long as you dont get a shade thats too dark or light (which can make you look muddy) it will mute your skin redness and not show up pink/orange/not natural on your skin.
I have pretty good skin, with only minor scaring from really old acne, and this makeup is amazing. I can put it on alone, or apply a little concealer on the spots i need to and my skin looks great. I have sensitive skin and I can sleep in this makeup and it won't break me out, it also doesnt seem to settle into pores.
Overall, probably one of the best foundations I've ever used, and if you dont need super coverage this is perfect for you bc it looks exactly like your skin just way better. I hope this helps!
UPDATE: I have been using this foundation FOREVER (almost a year) and i have more than half the bottle left, I am tempted to go buy more just in case some disaster happens (would they ever stop making it?) its still flawless application, and fingers are still the best way to put it on, ive even bought baby wipes that i ONLY use to wipe the makeup off my fingers. i really suggest that everyone that wears foundation have this in their makeup kit, its priceless in my mind. also, if you find that you cannot finish it fast enough, place it in your fridge and save keeping, it doubles the shelf life of the product. This is usually my cooler weather foundation bc my skin gets soooo oily in the summer...so i only reach for it sparingly when its super hot (unless im plan on being by the water...its great water resistant)...so i pop it in the fridge...and anytime i need to use it i just shake it up.

I like the finish. I like that it is very light and is good for days when you feel like you wouldn't want a heavy cover. However, it doesn't cover my dry patches even after a few layers. Otherwise, I have very dry skin and it goes on really nicely and lightly.
Its not that expensive but neither is it a bargain. Its an okay price I would pay for a foundation. The bottle is quite large as well and would last quite a long time. Packaging feels a bit cheap but is the normal pouring style for liquid foundation.
I probably wouldn't buy it again because I'd try something else. My HG at the moment is BB skin foundation and this just isn't as great.

I bought this in summer being NC40 but I think now I'm a NC30, I've used it for 5 months now and love it! I always get compliments coz it looks so natural on me. Its sheer but buildable so when you want to build more coverage just add another layer on. I will definitely be buying more! The price is super cheap because you get 4 times as much as you do with other foundations.
But its 75$nzd which is super expensive for a student like me! but its worth it.

I really wanted to like this foundation because there were so much hype about it. But sadly, it broke me out. It made my dry/normal skin even MORE dry.
I wouldn't recommend this to people who have dry/normal skin even if it's waterbased. The lady at the counter told me when I returned this product that because it's waterbased and waterproof it's actually leaning more towards people with oily skin as it's suppose to control the oils.
Shucks, I really did like the finish of it but ... -sighs- :(

This is a truly good foundation if you pick it for the right reasons. What it doesn't provide is coverage, but all its other attributes are spot-on. It basically has the lowest coverage ever - like a tinted moisturizer. It just evens out the skintone, unless you have big issues with acne, general redness or rosascea; it's not potent enough to cover or disguise imperfections, let alone breakouts or discoloration. It provides a uniform result, and that's as far as it goes, however you can build it up to a sort of medium coverage after you let the first layer dry and then reapply. So you're thinking, why would I want a foundation that almost doesn't act like one? Well, because it kicks ass in other domaines: It looks incredibly natural, I'd say invisible. It's undetectable, nearly impossible for the naked eye or the camera lens to trace it. It goes on so thin and sheer and liquidy and runny, and all that inconvenient stuff which, nonetheless, translates to a very natural finish. It gives a dewy look to the skin and it doesn't cake up, doesn't settle into fine lines, doesn't cling to dry patches and, although it's quite glowy, it doesn't accentuate my pores. Besides, it's so long lasting. When you first put it on it feels rather sticky and unpleasant, but soon as it dries, it's transfer-proof. Also looks great on the decolletage and shoulders, or even on the legs on a summer night, as it unifies the entire area and makes it look healthy and moisturized. Another plus is it looks just as good set with powder - so long as the powder isn't overly heavy. Bottom line, this foundation is, minus the coverage "problem", perfect in my opinion: Light, budge-resistant, long-lasting, dewy, natural. It's actually not ideal for me at all, however I couldn't help but give it the lippies I think it deserves, even though it doesn't fulfill my needs. I have problem skin and I need to do a whole lot of concealing work on top of this every time I wear it. But if I have the time to do it, I just don't mind that much, since it works absolutely perfect for daytime. I can wear it to class and look awake and revived, yet far from made-up. Recommended for people with already good skin, or for those of us who don't mind spot-concealing afterwards because the overall finish is just that good. Would repurchase.

After only 1 use of this f/d I couldnt wait to write a review! I think this may be HG for me. It's very light, which I really prefer now that I have basically good skin i just need evening out and some color to my face. After 6 hours of wear, I don't feel like my face is in oil slick already, and the shade (N2) couldn't be a better match. It's just very nuetral..not yellow, not pink, not orange, not gray..it's just truly the color of skin and so I beleive it doesn't really look like I'm wearing f/d. It works well to put powder on top of it..it helps to set it b/c it is a very light and runny f/d and you may need to extra help from powder if tend to be oily. But anyhow in conclusion...HUGE bottle that could last you a year maybe, natural light coverage...as long as my skin stays good and I don't have acne return this will probably be my go-to. It's so hard to find good f/d so I'm soooo happy with this!!

Bought this foundation while on South Beach and is my go to on hot sweaty days. I like it because it is liquid but light. Initially it did have a tendency to cause my t-zone to go into oil overdrive but I conquered that by applying a silicone based primer underneath and then a mattifier on top. You can only get this in a Pro/stand alone MAC store or online. The color may confuse you because it looks awful dark inside the container but once it is applied to the skin it can be very orange/reddish. Multi-use formula can be used as stated on the face and the body. My recommendation is not to use it if you don't plan to keep your clothing or other surfaces stain free. My shade is C7 which equates to MSF NW45

I have oily skin so I am glad that this is water-based since some of the MAC foundations I have tried seem to break me out. This provides me with lightweight coverage and is also long lasting (which was a huge selling point for me). It has a satin finish and when I set it with my Dream Matte powder (Maybelline), I don't look too oily. Because of the runny formula, I find it best to use a flat brush because it spreads this more easily and doesn't absorb too much of the foundation. If your looking for a lightweight coverage, try this but you may need to use a bit more concealer to even out redness. I would buy again.

Africa not much more risky vs Europe, U.S. crises
LONDON (Reuters) - Investors interested in Africa's resources but afraid of its political risks should consider that recent events in Europe and the United States have shown they are far from risk-free, a British fund manager said.
David Murrin, chief investment officer at UK-based Emergent Asset Management, acknowledged Africa could be hazardous for investors but cited by comparison Greece's debt troubles and the banking crisis in Europe and the United States.
"Political risks -- you mean like (former British Prime Minister) Gordon Brown trashing our country or our ally, the United States, blaming us for BP (BP.L) spilling oil," Murrin told Reuters on Thursday.
"We need to wipe out that smug western view of more risk in Africa ... As western belts tighten and we start to deal with fiscal situations, the political risk differential is closing rapidly. People need to wake up to that."
Budget deficits of many developed countries over the past couple of years have jumped to unprecedented levels in the aftermath of the U.S. subprime mortgage crash, the global credit crunch and recession.
Emergent Asset Management, which has four hedge funds covering currencies, bonds, equities and agriculture, plans to launch a private equity fund investing in sub-Saharan mining resources soon.
Murrin would not disclose Emergent's funds under management or any return numbers.
Africa's mining industry will grow to meet China's insatiable appetite for metals, Murrin said.
"Africa could rival Chile as the world's largest copper producer at some point in the future."
China is the world's largest consumer of industrial metals such as copper, taking more than 30 percent of global consumption, estimated at around 19 million tonnes this year.
Fears China will tighten its growth policy to restrain inflation, hitting demand, have contributed to a recent sell-off in copper.
Benchmark copper on the London Metal Exchange has tumbled more than 20 percent to around $6,300 a tonne on Thursday from a year-high above $8,000 in April.
But Murrin said any pullback by Chinese consumers would be temporary.
"Chinese demand will fuel prices over the next decade, causing problems for the West because we are not growing and we will import their inflation, we get stagflation," he predicted.
The shift in economic power toward Asia is a trend that Murrin and other fund managers have highlighted in recent years.
U.S. assets including stocks, bonds and the dollar will be a major casualty, he said.
Recently, however, fears of European sovereign debt restructurings have driven the euro below $1.19 against the dollar, its lowest in more than four years. The dollar's trade-weighted index .DXY against a basket of major currencies recently rose to its highest since March 2009.
"The dollar rally we are seeing now is in my opinion, the last time the world will go to dollars for safety," Murrin said.
"Equity markets finished their first leg of the down-move on Tuesday. We will see a period of consolidation before we see another period of risk aversion in July ... The trigger could be renewed concerns about Europe," he added.

Tatsume- Greetings:
This is just another way that the trappings of the SCA disrupt
the way that things were actually done in period. Though technically
not a 'belt' it will look enough like a belt that you should probably
expect every other person to ask you what you were thinking. You
have history on your side, but I don't think that will convince
anyone :(
I guess you have a few options:
1. Make the historically correct hakama and be prepared to defend
yourself from anyone who thinks that you're actually trying to
portray yourself as a knight of the SCA without spurs and a chain.
2. Make the hakama with matching fabric or is of a color other than
those that are protected by sumptuary traditions.
3. Get knighted. The question is moot!

JonB United States Show all reviews | Acqua di Parma Colonia Intensa by Acqua di ParmaThis was a blind buy for me based on comments here on BN. I have learned my lesson, and don't buy any frag blind any more. This is completely unlike Colonia or Assoluta; there is no stimulating citrus or floral notes in this AdP, there is only a sickening aromachemical smell. This is one of those fragrances for which I've made a 180 degree turn. I originally liked this fragrance, but over time I have come to greatly dislike it. I can't explain it, but this has become quite repulsive to me. In playing with aromachemicals, I have found that this fragrance smells almost entirely of one chemical, Amberwood Forte, and over time I have come to really dislike the smell. Oh well, you can't win them all. 14th October, 2008 (Last Edited: 07th September, 2009) |

Mugler has got nothing on this especially because this was made first (not to mention A*men smells like grandma - see my review). Sometimes its spicier than others, and other times those chocolate fingers rub me down. The trick with this one is how it is applied, if applied in close proximity there is a great deal more of spice and a burnt coffee beans, but if applied at a distance, a light mist - you've got great dark chocolate for days. One things for sure, it wears like a EdP. Two sprays on my neck lasts me a good 8 hours. (be careful it is easy to over apply). Very masculine, to me there are many more notes than what's listed, but I do agree with foetidus I can smell tobacco. 14th October, 2008 (Last Edited: 20th November, 2008) |

Kind of powdery but I like that. 14th October, 2008 |
mrsjar97 Show all reviews | Safari for Men by Ralph LaurenI for one, love this fragrance, even if it is maybe a bit dated. To me, it is a more sophisticated version of Drakkar Noir (which I admit is a guitly pleasure of mine.) 14th October, 2008 |
mikey_p Show all reviews | Vetiver by GuerlainWhy are Guerlain such liars? When I saw the new bottle perched on the shelf in the store I asked the Guerlain lady if the formula had changed. She said it hadn't, consistent with the official line from the big boys at the top. Whatever. This is Vetiver after a Jenny Jones makeover, clipped, tidied up and stripped of any appreciable character. On face value, its still rather good, but when compared to what it used to be I cant help feel as though this reformulation has been an awful mistake. 14th October, 2008 (Last Edited: 09th February, 2011) |
Adama Canada Show all reviews | Polo Sport by Ralph LaurenMy first frag, chosen by my girlfriend because of its inoffensive nature. 14th October, 2008 (Last Edited: 12th February, 2014) |
finsfan United States Show all reviews | Red Vetyver by MontaleI loved this scent the 1st time I wore it. Liked its spices, but they are not like Piper Nigrum, or Rose Poivree. Rather, this is more gentle, and warm as Foetidus said. No mint, but maybe pink peppers. Then the second time I wore it, I was expecting a sillage monster and did not get that. I was wanting it to be this loud, show stopper, better-make-sure-I-don't-use-more-than-two-sprays scent like Black Aoud. But the more I wear it, the more I get back to the wowness of the 1st wearing. Don't really know why that is, but it is. I like to spray this on my arms as well as the crook of my neck, just right near the shoulder blades. This scent really does linger and last, though it does not project like Aoud Limes or Black Aoud or Rose Petals. But it is stronger than a regular Eau de Toilette. How do I know? Well, at lunch, after wearing it for five hours, I passed within 4 feet of a lady heading in the opposite direction. When she was ten feet past me, and we were just walking past each other, she shouted out that wow, I smelled good. This was in an office building. So its sillage is more than what your nose may think. It has a different sort of spiciness to it, not like the heavy spices in some scents that are black pepper, or cloves, or something assaultive. Now, I am not a vetiver lover, so this Haitian vetiver must be a different sort than that in Guerlains, or Floris. The scent works for me, and is versatile. You can wear it with a suit, but it is not authoritative. You can wear it with shorts and a polo shirt to that backyard patio party, but it is not whimsical. I wore this as a sample in August heat in Memphis, Tn, and it wore well, and it wears well so far into the fall (middle October) 15th October, 2008 |
Frederik Netherlands Show all reviews | Infusion d'Homme by PradaI think it's just a matter of skin chemistry, but it's plain soap on me. 15th October, 2008 |
JaimeB United States Show all reviews | Chevignon by ChevignonThis is listed as a woody or leather chypre, depending on the source. It is an example of the 1980's style surviving into the early '90s. Lots of people swear this is a ringer for the discontinued Polo Crest; I wouldn't know. To me, this is a blast from the past as a men's scent. The notes, spice, green/herbal, and citrus in the top note; mostly floral in the heart; and wood, moss, amber, and leather in the base, are archetypal for the genre and period. It reminds me of the days when we called such things "Way cool," and so it still is. 15th October, 2008 |
mikey_p Show all reviews | Gardénia Passion by Annick GoutalNow don't get me wrong, I love gardenias, but this is certainly not it. Why ruin an already mediocre fragrance that smells nothing like gardenia with a hideous celery note which I'm suprised nobody has mentioned. In my Bloody Mary, Yes, in my Waldorf Salad, Yes, in my fine fragrance most certainly not and I don't care if Madonna stinks of it. 15th October, 2008 |
mikey_p Show all reviews | DKNY Women by Donna KaranBeautiful fizzy pop soda that smells like an avant garde concept. This literally bristles with humour and intelligence. I would say though that this is nothing like L'Eau D' Issey because it avoids the tiresome Calone note that defined the 90's. Excellent! 15th October, 2008 |
mikey_p Show all reviews | Red Door by Elizabeth ArdenShockingly hideous, tank busting tuberose and orange blossom overlaid with alarming notes of hot plastic. My assistant wore this 80's throwback last week and when I walked in the office I could taste it in my mouth. I have no idea why this hasn't been discontinued. If you are wearing this garbage and someone asks what fragrance you are wearing, don't kid yourself that it is because they like it. 15th October, 2008 |
renperd South Africa Show all reviews | Spellbound by Estée LauderSpellbound grabbed my attention with a vengeance when I began exploring Lauder fragrances. The first thing I thought was 'prostitute'. Streetwalker's juice. Amazing stuff that pulled me closer and pushed me away with equal intensity. I wonder how this would smell on a man, and what people would think of a guy reeking of Spellbound if they don't recognise the perfume. Intriguing, and the vulgar power of it is beyond ostentatious. So brazen that I can hardly think of a suitable situation whence it could wear one. Because wear you it will, unless you're much larger than life. Perhaps a fancy dress going as our whore? 15th October, 2008 |
ubuandibeme United States Show all reviews | L'Eau d'Hiver by Editions de Parfums Frederic MalleWatery and weak, definitely not worth the pricetag. For a mild fragrance, there are sooooo many others to choose from that won't run you broke! 15th October, 2008 |
purplebird7 United States Show all reviews | Knize Ten by KnizeCrack the whip, feel the bite of sharp bitter leather. This is a policemans shiny, black, leather shoes. Decidedly manly. I could see this as rugged and sexy on a man, but on a woman, its going to come across as kinky. High marks for being unique in this day and age, but a neutral rating because Im not sure how it would wear in reality. I have no volunteers to demonstrate, and its a bit harsh on me. 15th October, 2008 |
purplebird7 United States Show all reviews | parfums*PARFUMS Series 4 Cologne: Vettiveru by Comme des GarçonsAn attempt at a vetiver without lemon, choosing instead a strong cedar note, which results in an admirable attempt at something different from the usual citrus combo. However, it was a bit thin and dry. 15th October, 2008 |
purplebird7 United States Show all reviews | No. 68 by GuerlainWow, they say this has 68 ingredients? I cant smell most of them, and then end result is rather common citrus and herbs with one differenceamong the grapefruit and thyme is a heavenly heliotrope. Nice, but not remarkable enough to replace something like Jicky. And if I wanted heliotrope, I'd get something that showcased it better. 15th October, 2008 |
purplebird7 United States Show all reviews | Monocle Scent One: Hinoki by Comme des GarçonsMore atmospheric than perfume, I would prefer this as a room spray. It's very dry and sharp with no sweetness. Aromatic woods such as camphor, turpentine, cedar, and pine combine with unsweet herbs like thyme and rooty vetiver to make a realistic "branch of evergreen" aroma. It's fun. It doesn't last long. I like it as an experience, but I probably wouldn't wear it. 15th October, 2008 |
purplebird7 United States Show all reviews | Absinth by NasomattoI dont smell any wormwood in here. The company gives absolutely no information on notes, only saying that this perfume intends to invoke degrees of hysteria and stimulate irresponsible behavior. Call me crazy, but this is almost gourmand to me--creamy and fruity. I smell a tart apple dipped in milky caramel and rolled in crushed peanuts. Come to think of it, that is enough to drive me to hysteria. Its fall, and its Happy Apple time 15th October, 2008 |
purplebird7 United States Show all reviews | Duro by NasomattoA bitter leather opening fades quickly away to a deep, sweet (yes, it's sweet to me) woody scent with oud, sandalwood, and some nice patchouli and musk. Duro is designed for men, and the Italian word is slang for hard-on; yet, I find it more wearable for women than the dry, bitter genre of other masculine leather fragrances. Duro is big, wet, and warm, like oh, heh, heh. Sorry about that analogy. 15th October, 2008 |
purplebird7 United States Show all reviews | Hindu Grass by NasomattoA high-octane grassy-woody scent, fired by a minty-herbal concoction and a big hit of patchouli. One component is similar to the diffusive, green, woody aroma of Timbuktu. Possibly some nice anise-like aroma is floating around in there, maybe some marijuana, too. Although I cannot call it classically beautiful, Hindu Grass is pleasing, and I find myself drawn to it. Oddly attractive and satisfying. 15th October, 2008 |
purplebird7 United States Show all reviews | China White by NasomattoBilled as a powdery floral, I will agree that it is so, with a differenceChina White has a dusty, dry, green powder over sweet, fruity florals. The combination is both jarring and interesting. While the powder is tart and salty, the florals are as sweet as caramel. This powdery chemical is close to providing a leather scent. All in all, it is odd and fascinating. 15th October, 2008 |
vadim Russian Federation Show all reviews | Fresco di Vetiver by I Profumi di FirenzeMore "fresco" than "vetiver", and quite poor longevity on my skin. 15th October, 2008 |
Roy United States Show all reviews | Aedes de Venustas Eau de Parfum by Aedes de VenustasStopped by Aedes this weekend and tried this one. The opening was dominated by the sweet orange, pink pepper, and incense notes. The heart appeared after about twenty minutes and was nearly pure oppoponax/sweet myrrh, with hints of coffee and cedar. This persisted on my skin for at least 4-5 hours, following which soft woods emerged, tempering the pure incense experience. Those with me agreed that it smelled not unlike catholic mass, warm, incense laden, and familiar. It had good tenacity on the skin and the sillage was also fair. Worth a trip and a sample for the incense lover. 15th October, 2008 |
taliaseki Turkey Show all reviews | La Myrrhe by Serge Lutens Les Salons du Palais Royal ShiseidoVery unpleasant and disturbing. Bitter, resinous, medical, putrid.... cannot find words to explain. But can be used to torture me and tell the all top secret i would know. 15th October, 2008 |
taliaseki Turkey Show all reviews | Bois et Musc by Serge Lutens Les Salons du Palais Royal ShiseidoSmells like saffroned dry coconut peels or mastic forgotten in a drawer full of dated spices. even if there is a musc there it is obscured by rancid spices. Cannot find anything enjoyable in it. 15th October, 2008 |
taliaseki Turkey Show all reviews | Organza First Light by GivenchyLittle citrus on very little florals. So weak that i can hardly smell it. 15th October, 2008 |

I don't know if this has been touched upon yet, but Mississippi has FINALLY passed a new beer law allowing gourmet beers to be sold in state. This is huge for us in the state. It was raised from 5% ABW to 8% ABW. This allows us to get most of the good stuff now. Thought i'd post the news in case anyone hasn't heard yet.
What, they don't sell liquor in your state, either?
Welcome to the 20th Century! ....Oh, wait.
I do work down in Columbus, on occasion and was always disappointed by the beer I could find. This truly is good news!
Just in time for Bud Platinum. Texas had a law that required beers over 5% to be labeled as an ale but strangely it was overturned right when Platinum started to hit the shelves....
Congrats to everyone in MS!
looking here, doesn't look like it is a done deal yet http://raiseyourpints.com/
I know the RYP site shows it still in process, but the owner of a local Beer Bar who is active in RYP says it is everything but "official". Maybe it's a bit premature, but when I hear it from that source, it seems a bit more secure than just word of mouth. We shall see!
Tomorrow looks like the day for the senate. I may or may not have misunderstood the posting I read, but i'll keep high hopes and go with it being passed already

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Bon Jovi delivers shot to the heart
In a moment, not even 10 minutes in to the concert last night, it seemed the MTS Centre was rippling.
All the fans had raised their hands, you see. Clear around the arena they shoved their arms up on the beat and wiggled their fingers furiously. They raised them because it was the title of the song and because Jon Bon Jovi told them to. Because he can. Because it's a rock star's privilege to stand in the middle of 15,500 people, pump his hips against the mike stand and tell 'em how it's gonna be.
"I ain't going to waste a lot of time," Bon Jovi said then, shouldering his guitar. "We're going to take you on a roller-coaster ride from the beginning to the present day... so for the next 2 1/2 hours, strap yourselves in and let me drive."
Well, it's not like anyone else had the keys. Guitarist Richie Sambora dropped out of the Because We Can tour earlier this week, "personal reasons" they said, which showbiz media buzzed could be a spat over money, or maybe substance trouble again. Sambora tweeted he was fine.
At any rate, the show went on without him -- Bon Jovi, drummer Tico Torres and keyboardist David Bryan at the helm. Phil Xenidis took over on first axe, although, a fan lamented last night, the harmonies just weren't the same without Sambora around.
At least there was a whole lot of sound to flesh them out. From his place at the heart of a stage in the round, Bon Jovi held court on three hours of straightforward rock 'n' roll. There weren't a lot of bells, and even fewer whistles -- at a few points, columns descended to form video screens behind the open stage. Once, they turned into stepping stones for Bon Jovi to gyrate for fans on the arena's south end, who mostly only saw his back or else an obstructed view.
There were a handful of songs off of the brand-new Bon Jovi album, What About Now, but not many. We all knew why we were there: not just to make a memory, but to dust off the ones we once carefully folded and were forced by life to leave behind.
Jon Bon Jovi knows this, too. He is a 51-year-old man in tight black jeans and swept-back follicular flow, still delighting millions by playing decades-old rock 'n' roll; he played with this in subtle winks. "This is one I wrote a long time ago, off a record called Keep the Faith," he said, standing at the apex of a narrow horseshoe catwalk. "It's called Bed of Roses."
And then he was bending down, hands plunging towards his fans, they screamed and threw their arms around each other and sang so loud. How many times has he done this? It doesn't matter. It's not about the man on stage, really, it's about every swaying body and blissed-out face in that crowd.
And so, for another hour yet, he brought them back home. He kicked out We Weren't Born To Follow and rocked a little Rolling Stones. The main set closed off with Bad Medicine, and the thunderous cheers shook the place all over. In the rocking encore, Bon Jovi made a quiet nod to Sambora's absence, thanking the crowd for their "patience."
"We're very grateful for that," he said, and then the band just lit the place up: something about a steel horse, a cowboy, and being wanted dead or alive.

Aries is one of the constellations of the zodiac. It is located in the northern celestial hemisphere between Pisces to the west and Taurus to the east. The name Aries is Latin for ram, and its symbol is (Unicode ♈), representing a ram's horns. It is one of the 48 constellations described by the 2nd century astronomer Ptolemy, and remains one of the 88 modern constellations. It is a mid-sized constellation, ranking 39th overall size, with an area of 441 square degrees (1.1% of the celestial sphere).
Although Aries came to represent specifically the ram whose fleece became the Golden Fleece of Ancient Greek mythology, it has represented a ram since late Babylonian times. Before that, the stars of Aries formed a farmhand. Different cultures have incorporated the stars of Aries into different constellations including twin inspectors in China and a porpoise in the Marshall Islands. Aries is a relatively dim constellation, possessing only four bright stars: Hamal (Alpha Arietis, second magnitude), Sheratan (Beta Arietis, third magnitude), Mesarthim (Gamma Arietis, fourth magnitude), and 41 Arietis (also fourth magnitude). The few deep-sky objects within the constellation are quite faint and include several pairs of interacting galaxies. Several meteor showers appear to radiate from Aries, including the Daytime Arietids and the Epsilon Arietids.
Aries is now recognized as an official constellation, albeit as a specific region of the sky, by the International Astronomical Union. It was originally defined in ancient texts as a specific pattern of stars, and has remained a constellation since ancient times; it now includes the ancient pattern as well as the surrounding stars.[5] 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. The MUL.APIN was a comprehensive table of the risings and settings of stars, which likely served as an agricultural calendar. Modern-day Aries was known as MULLÚ.ḪUN.GÁ, "The Agrarian Worker" or "The Hired Man".[6] Although likely compiled in the 12th or 11th century BC, the MUL.APIN reflects a tradition which marks the Pleiades as the vernal equinox, which was the case with some precision at the beginning of the Middle Bronze Age. The earliest identifiable reference to Aries as a distinct constellation comes from the boundary stones that date from 1350 to 1000 BC. On several boundary stones, a zodiacal ram figure is distinct from the other characters present. The shift in identification from the constellation as the Agrarian Worker to the Ram likely occurred in later Babylonian tradition because of its growing association with Dumuzi the Shepherd. By the time the MUL.APIN was created—by 1000 BC—modern Aries was identified with both Dumuzi's ram and a hired laborer. The exact timing of this shift is difficult to determine due to the lack of images of Aries or other ram figures.[7]
In ancient Egyptian astronomy, Aries was associated with the god Amon-Ra, who was depicted as a man with a ram's head and represented fertility and creativity. Because it was the location of the vernal equinox, it was called the "Indicator of the Reborn Sun".[8] During the times of the year when Aries was prominent, priests would process statues of Amon-Ra to temples, a practice that was modified by Persian astronomers centuries later. Aries acquired the title of "Lord of the Head" in Egypt, referring to its symbolic and mythological importance.[9]
Aries was not fully accepted as a constellation until classical times.[10] In Hellenistic astrology, the constellation of Aries is associated with the golden ram of Greek mythology that rescued Phrixos and Helle on orders from Hermes, taking him to the land of Colchis.[11][12][13] Phrixos and Helle were the son and daughter of King Athamas and his first wife Nephele. The king's second wife, Ino, was jealous and wished to kill his children. To accomplish this, she induced a famine in Boeotia, then falsified a message from the Oracle of Delphi that said Phrixos must be sacrificed to end the famine. Athamas was about to sacrifice his son atop Mount Laphystium when Aries, sent by Nephele, arrived.[14] Helle fell off of Aries's back in flight and drowned in the Dardanelles, also called the Hellespont in her honor. After arriving, Phrixos sacrificed the ram to Zeus and gave the Fleece to Aeëtes of Colchis, who rewarded him with an engagement to his daughter Chalciope. Aeëtes hung its skin in a sacred place where it became known as the Golden Fleece and was guarded by a dragon.[3][11] In a later myth, this Golden Fleece was stolen by Jason and the Argonauts.[13]
Historically, Aries has been depicted as a crouched, wingless ram with its head turned towards Taurus. Ptolemy asserted in his Almagest that Hipparchus depicted Alpha Arietis as the ram's muzzle, though Ptolemy did not include it in his constellation figure. Instead, it was listed as an "unformed star", and denoted as "the star over the head". John Flamsteed, in his Atlas Coelestis, followed Ptolemy's description by mapping it above the figure's head.[14][15] Flamsteed followed the general convention of maps by depicting Aries lying down.[8] Astrologically, Aries has been associated with the head and its humors.[16] It was strongly associated with Mars, both the planet and the god. It was considered to govern Western Europe and Syria, and to indicate a strong temper in a person.[17]
The First Point of Aries, the location of the vernal equinox, is named for the constellation. This is because the Sun crossed the celestial equator from south to north in Aries more than two millennia ago. Hipparchus defined it in 130 BC. as a point south of Gamma Arietis. Because of the precession of the equinoxes, the First Point of Aries has since moved into Pisces and will move into Aquarius by around 2600 AD. The Sun now appears in Aries from late April through mid May, though the constellation is still associated with the beginning of spring.[12][14][18]
Medieval Muslim astronomers depicted Aries in various ways. Astronomers like al-Sufi saw the constellation as a ram, modeled on the precedent of Ptolemy. However, some Islamic celestial globes depicted Aries as a nondescript four-legged animal with what may be antlers instead of horns.[19] Some early Bedouin observers saw a ram elsewhere in the sky; this constellation featured the Pleiades as the ram's tail.[20] The generally accepted Arabic formation of Aries consisted of thirteen stars in a figure along with five "unformed" stars, four of which were over the animal's hindquarters and one of which was the disputed star over Aries's head.[21] Al-Sufi's depiction differed from both other Arab astronomers' and Flamsteed's, in that his Aries was running and looking behind itself.[8]
The obsolete constellations introduced in Aries (Musca Borealis, Lilium, Vespa, and Apes) have all been composed of the northern stars.[22] Musca Borealis was created from the stars 33 Arietis, 35 Arietis, 39 Arietis, and 41 Arietis.[23] In 1612, Petrus Plancius introduced Apes, a constellation representing a bee. In 1624, the same stars were used by Jakob Bartsch to create a constellation called Vespa, representing a wasp. In 1679 Augustin Royer used these stars for his constellation Lilium, representing the fleur-de-lis. None of these constellation became widely accepted. Johann Hevelius renamed the constellation "Musca" in 1690 in his Firmamentum Sobiescianum. To differentiate it from Musca, the southern fly, it was later renamed Musca Borealis but it did not gain acceptance and its stars were ultimately officially reabsorbed into Aries.[23]
In 1922, the International Astronomical Union defined its recommended three-letter abbreviation, "Ari".[1] The official boundaries of Aries were defined in 1930 by Eugène Delporte as a polygon of 12 segments. Its right ascension is between 1h 46.4m and 3h 29.4m and its declination is between 10.36° and 31.22° in the equatorial coordinate system.[24]
In traditional Chinese astronomy, stars from Aries were used in several constellations. The brightest stars—Alpha, Beta, and Gamma Arietis—formed a constellation called Lou, variously translated as "bond", "lasso", and "sickle", which was associated with the ritual sacrifice of cattle. This name was shared by the 16th lunar mansion, the location of the full moon closest to the autumnal equinox. The lunar mansion represented the area where animals were gathered before sacrifice around that time.[14] This constellation has also been associated with harvest-time as it could represent a woman carrying a basket of food on her head.[8] 35, 39, and 41 Arietis were part of a constellation called Wei, which represented a fat abdomen and was the namesake of the 17th lunar mansion, which represented granaries. Delta and Zeta Arietis were a part of the constellation Tianyin, thought to represent the Emperor's hunting partner. Zuogeng (Tso-kang), a constellation depicting a marsh and pond inspector, was composed of Mu, Nu, Omicron, Pi, and Sigma Arietis.[8][14] He was accompanied by Yeou-kang, a constellation depicting an official in charge of pasture distribution.[8]
In a similar system to the Chinese, the first lunar mansion in Hindu astronomy was called "Aswini", after the traditional names for Beta and Gamma Arietis, the Aswins. Because the Hindu new year began with the vernal equinox, the Rig Veda contains over 50 new-year's related hymns to the twins, making them some of the most prominent characters in the work. Aries itself was known as "Aja" and "Mesha".[17] In Hebrew astronomy Aries was named "Teli"; it signified either Simeon or Gad, and generally symbolizes the "Lamb of the World". The neighboring Syrians named the constellation "Amru", and the bordering Turks named it "Kuzi".[17] Half a world away, in the Marshall Islands, several stars from Aries were incorporated into a constellation depicting a porpoise, along with stars from Cassiopeia, Andromeda, and Triangulum. Alpha, Beta, and Gamma Arietis formed the head of the porpoise, while stars from Andromeda formed the body and the bright stars of Cassiopeia formed the tail.[25] Other Polynesian peoples recognized Aries as a constellation. The Marquesas islanders called it Na-pai-ka; the Māori constellation Pipiri may correspond to modern Aries as well.[26] In indigenous Peruvian astronomy, a constellation with most of the same stars as Aries existed. It was called the "Market Moon" and the "Kneeling Terrace", as a reminder for when to hold the annual harvest festival, Ayri Huay.[17]
Aries has three prominent stars forming an asterism, designated Alpha, Beta, and Gamma Arietis by Johann Bayer. All three are commonly used for navigation.[27] There is also one other star above the fourth magnitude, 41 Arietis. α Arietis, called Hamal, is the brightest star in Aries. Its traditional name is derived from the Arabic word for "lamb" or "head of the ram" (ras al-hamal), which references Aries's mythological background.[18] With a spectral class of K2[13] and a luminosity class of III, it is an orange giant with an apparent visual magnitude of 2.00, which lies 66 light-years from Earth.[12][28] Hamal has a luminosity of 96 L☉ and its absolute magnitude is −0.1.[29]
β Arietis, also known as Sheratan, is a blue-white star with an apparent visual magnitude of 2.64. Its traditional name is derived from "sharatayn", the Arabic word for "the two signs", referring to both Beta and Gamma Arietis in their position as heralds of the vernal equinox. The two stars were known to the Bedouin as "qarna al-hamal", "horns of the ram".[30] It is 59 light-years from Earth.[31] It has a luminosity of 11 L☉ and its absolute magnitude is 2.1.[29] It is a spectroscopic binary star, one in which the companion star is only known through analysis of the spectra.[32] The spectral class of the primary is A5.[13] Hermann Carl Vogel determined that Sheratan was a spectroscopic binary in 1903; its orbit was determined by Hans Ludendorff in 1907. It has since been studied for its eccentric orbit.[32]
γ Arietis, with a common name of Mesarthim, is a binary star with two white-hued components, located in a rich field of magnitude 8–12 stars. Its traditional name has conflicting derivations. It may be derived from a corruption of "al-sharatan", the Arabic word meaning "pair" or a word for "fat ram".[14][18][33] However, it may also come from the Sanskrit for "first star of Aries" or the Hebrew for "ministerial servants", both of which are unusual languages of origin for star names.[18] Along with Beta Arietis, it was known to the Bedouin as "qarna al-hamal".[30] The primary is of magnitude 4.59 and the secondary is of magnitude 4.68.[29] The system is 164 light-years from Earth.[34] The two components are separated by 7.8 arcseconds,[3] and the system as a whole has an apparent magnitude of 3.9.[13] The primary has a luminosity of 60 L☉ and the secondary has a luminosity of 56 L☉; the primary is an A-type star with an absolute magnitude of 0.2 and the secondary is a B9-type star with an absolute magnitude of 0.4.[29] The angle between the two components is 1°.[3] Mesarthim was discovered to be a double star by Robert Hooke in 1664, one of the earliest such telescopic discoveries. The primary, γ1 Arietis, is an Alpha² Canum Venaticorum variable star that has a range of 0.02 magnitudes and a period of 2.607 days. It is unusual because of its strong silicon emission lines.[32]
The constellation is home to several double stars, including Epsilon, Lambda, and Pi Arietis. ε Arietis is a binary star with two white components. The primary is of magnitude 5.2 and the secondary is of magnitude 5.5. The system is 290 light-years from Earth.[12] Its overall magnitude is 4.63, and the primary has an absolute magnitude of 1.4. Its spectral class is A2. The two components are separated by 1.5 arcseconds.[29] λ Arietis is a wide double star with a white-hued primary and a yellow-hued secondary. The primary is of magnitude 4.8 and the secondary is of magnitude 7.3.[12] The primary is 129 light-years from Earth.[35] It has an absolute magnitude of 1.7 and a spectral class of F0.[29] The two components are separated by 36 arcseconds at an angle of 50°; the two stars are located 0.5° east of 7 Arietis.[3] π Arietis is a close binary star with a blue-white primary and a white secondary. The primary is of magnitude 5.3 and the secondary is of magnitude 8.5.[12] The primary is 776 light-years from Earth.[36] The primary itself is a wide double star with a separation of 25.2 arcseconds; the tertiary has a magnitude of 10.8. The primary and secondary are separated by 3.2 arcseconds.[29]
Most of the other stars in Aries visible to the naked eye have magnitudes between 3 and 5. δ Ari, called Boteïn, is a star of magnitude 4.35, 170 light-years away. It has an absolute magnitude of −0.1 and a spectral class of K2.[29][37] ζ Arietis is a star of magnitude 4.89, 263 light-years away. Its spectral class is A0 and its absolute magnitude is 0.0.[29][38] 14 Arietis is a star of magnitude 4.98, 288 light-years away. Its spectral class is F2 and its absolute magnitude is 0.6.[29][39] 39 Arietis is a similar star of magnitude 4.51, 172 light-years away. Its spectral class is K1 and its absolute magnitude is 0.0.[29][40] 35 Arietis is a dim star of magnitude 4.55, 343 light-years away. Its spectral class is B3 and its absolute magnitude is −1.7.[29][41] 41 Arietis, known both as c Arietis and Nair al Butain, is a brighter star of magnitude 3.63, 165 light-years away. Its spectral class is B8 and it has a luminosity of 105 L☉. Its absolute magnitude is −0.2.[29][42] 53 Arietis is a runaway star of magnitude 6.09, 815 light-years away.[32][43] Its spectral class is B2. It was likely ejected from the Orion Nebula approximately five million years ago, possibly due to supernovae.[32] Finally, Teegarden's Star is the closest star to Earth in Aries. It is a brown dwarf of magnitude 15.14 and spectral class M6.5V. With a proper motion of 5.1 arcseconds per year, it is the 24th closest star to Earth overall.[4]
Aries has its share of variable stars, including R and U Arietis, Mira-type variable stars, and T Arietis, a semi-regular variable star. R Arietis is a Mira variable star that ranges in magnitude from a minimum of 13.7 to a maximum of 7.4 with a period of 186.8 days.[29] It is 4,080 light-years away.[44] U Arietis is another Mira variable star that ranges in magnitude from a minimum of 15.2 to a maximum of 7.2 with a period of 371.1 days.[29] T Arietis is a semiregular variable star that ranges in magnitude from a minimum of 11.3 to a maximum of 7.5 with a period of 317 days.[29] It is 1,630 light-years away.[45] One particularly interesting variable in Aries is SX Arietis, a rotating variable star considered to be the prototype of its class, helium variable stars. SX Arietis stars have very prominent emission lines of Helium I and Silicon III. They are normally main-sequence B0p—B9p stars, and their variations are not usually visible to the naked eye. Therefore, they are observed photometrically, usually having periods that fit in the course of one night. Similar to Alpha² Canum Venaticorum variables, SX Arietis stars have periodic changes in their light and magnetic field, which correspond to the periodic rotation; they differ from the Alpha² Canum Venaticorum variables in their higher temperature. There are between 39 and 49 SX Arietis variable stars currently known; ten are noted as being "uncertain" in the General Catalog of Variable Stars.[46]
The few deep-sky objects in Aries are very dim. Nevertheless, several scientifically interesting galaxies lie within its borders; it has spiral, elliptical, and interacting galaxies.
NGC 772 is a spiral galaxy with an integrated magnitude of 10.3, located southeast of β Arietis and 15 arcminutes west of 15 Arietis.[13] It is a relatively bright galaxy and shows obvious nebulosity and ellipticity in an amateur telescope. It is 7.2 by 4.2 arcminutes, meaning that its surface brightness, magnitude 13.6, is significantly lower than its integrated magnitude. NGC 772 is a class SA(s)b galaxy, which means that it is an unbarred spiral galaxy without a ring that possesses a somewhat prominent bulge and spiral arms that are wound somewhat tightly.[3] The main arm, on the northwest side of the galaxy,[32] is home to many star forming regions; this is due to previous gravitational interactions with other galaxies. NGC 772 has a small companion galaxy, NGC 770, that is about 113,000 light-years away from the larger galaxy. The two galaxies together are also classified as Arp 78 in the Arp peculiar galaxy catalog. NGC 772 has a diameter of 240,000 light-years and the system is 114 million light-years from Earth.[47] Another spiral galaxy in Aries is NGC 673, a face-on class SAB(s)c galaxy. It is a weakly barred spiral galaxy with loosely wound arms. It has no ring and a faint bulge and is 2.5 by 1.9 arcminutes. It has two primary arms with fragments located farther from the core. 171,000 light-years in diameter, NGC 673 is 235 million light-years from Earth.[47]
NGC 678 and NGC 680 are a pair of galaxies in Aries that are only about 200,000 light-years apart. Part of the NGC 691 group of galaxies, both are at a distance of approximately 130 million light-years. NGC 678 is an edge-on spiral galaxy that is 4.5 by 0.8 arcminutes. NGC 680, an elliptical galaxy with an asymmetrical boundary, is the brighter of the two at magnitude 12.9; NGC 678 has a magnitude of 13.35. Both galaxies have bright cores, but NGC 678 is the larger galaxy at a diameter of 171,000 light-years; NGC 680 has a diameter of 72,000 light-years. NGC 678 is further distinguished by its prominent dust lane. NGC 691 itself is a spiral galaxy slightly inclined to our line of sight. It has multiple spiral arms and a bright core. Because it is so diffuse, it has a low surface brightness. It has a diameter of 126,000 light-years and is 124 million light-years away.[47] NGC 877 is the brightest member of an 8-galaxy group that also includes NGC 870, NGC 871, and NGC 876, with a magnitude of 12.53. It is 2.4 by 1.8 arcminutes and is 178 million light-years away with a diameter of 124,000 light-years. Its companion is NGC 876, which is about 103,000 light-years from the core of NGC 877. They are interacting gravitationally, as they are connected by a faint stream of gas and dust.[47] Arp 276 is a different pair of interacting galaxies in Aries, consisting of NGC 935 and IC 1801.[48]
NGC 821 is an E6 elliptical galaxy. It is unusual because it has hints of an early spiral structure, which is normally only found in lenticular and spiral galaxies. NGC 821 is 2.6 by 2.0 arcminutes and has a visual magnitude of 11.3. Its diameter is 61,000 light-years and it is 80 million light-years away.[47] Another unusual galaxy in Aries is Segue 2. Segue 2 is a dwarf galaxy that is a satellite galaxy of the Milky Way, recently discovered to be a potential relic of the epoch of reionization.[49]
Aries is home to several meteor showers. The Daytime Arietid meteor shower is one of the strongest meteor showers that occurs during the day, lasting from 22 May to 2 June. It is an annual shower associated with the Marsden group of comets that peaks on 7 June with a maximum zenithal hourly rate of 54 meteors.[50][51] Its parent body may be the asteroid Icarus. The meteors are sometimes visible before dawn, because the radiant is 32 degrees away from the Sun. They usually appear at a rate of 1–2 per hour as "earthgrazers", meteors that last several seconds and often begin at the horizon. Because most of the Daytime Arietids are not visible to the naked eye, they are observed in the radio spectrum. This is possible because of the ionized gas they leave in their wake.[52][53] Other meteor showers radiate from Aries during the day; these include the Daytime Epsilon Arietids and the Northern and Southern Daytime May Arietids.[54] The Jodrell Bank Observatory discovered the Daytime Arietids in 1947 when James Hey and G.S. Stewart adapted the World War II-era radar systems for meteor observations.[53]
The Delta Arietids are another meteor shower radiating from Aries. Peaking on 9 December with a low peak rate, the shower lasts from 8 December to 14 January, with the highest rates visible from 8 to 14 December. The average Delta Aquarid meteor is very slow, with an average velocity of 13.2 kilometres (8.2 mi) per second. However, this shower sometimes produces bright fireballs.[55] This meteor shower has northern and southern components, both of which are likely associated with 1990 HA, a near-Earth asteroid.[56]
The Autumn Arietids also radiate from Aries. The shower lasts from 7 September to 27 October and peaks on 9 October. Its peak rate is low.[57] The Epsilon Arietids appear from 12 to 23 October.[8] Other meteor showers radiating from Aries include the October Delta Arietids, Daytime Epsilon Arietids, Daytime May Arietids, Sigma Arietids, Nu Arietids, and Beta Arietids.[54] The Sigma Arietids, a class IV meteor shower, are visible from 12 to 19 October, with a maximum zenithal hourly rate of less than two meteors per hour on 19 October.[58]
Aries contains several stars with extrasolar planets. HIP 14810, a G5 type star, is orbited by three giant planets (those more than ten times the mass of Earth).[59] HD 12661, like HIP 14810, is a G-type main sequence star, slightly larger than the Sun, with two orbiting planets. One planet is 2.3 times the mass of Jupiter, and the other is 1.57 times the mass of Jupiter.[60] HD 20367 is a G0 type star, approximately the size of the Sun, with one orbiting planet. The planet, discovered in 2002, has a mass 1.07 times that of Jupiter and orbits every 500 days.[61]
As of 2002[update], the Sun resides in the constellation Aries from April 18 to May 13 as it moves through the ecliptic. In tropical astrology, the Sun is considered to be in the sign Aries from March 21 to April 20, and in sidereal astrology, from April 15 to May 15.
