'Course there's much we don't understand about the concept (however sure certain individuals happen to be on their own understanding of the concept).

That said, beware the infamous Aries tendency to want the privilege of calling out and criticizing others but act like a great wrong has been done if someone gives them a dose of their own medicine. I could see such an Aries loving to say "I'm an Old Soul so I get to do that while you can't do it back, and if you don't like it then you're young. Nyah, nyhah, nyah, nyah, nyah!"

so old soul and Aries? is it possible?

Yes anything is possible, especially if you believe in the whole old/young soul thing.

I don't know if you know her but the beautiful poet late Maya Angelou was an Aries. And an elegant one at that. Also Linda Goodman was an Aries (I mean look at this site and her legacy in action). I'm not sure if they qualify as old (or even young) souls, but they had wisdom and foresight.

I know that. That's why I said "such an Aries" as opposed to Aries. That means I don't see all Aries like that.

Normally when people try to make it out like I said something different, I ignore it. But this time I'm not because it did occur to me to add something else.

Beware ALL who seek to establish they are Old Souls. It's not spirituality, it's either ego or pain (though arguably those are the same), and if anything they act less spiritual than most while playing "more spiritual than thou." Though in some cases I get the impression they're trying to escape feelings of inferiority through the title, so while they don't act all egotistical, they remain very fragile who futilely attempt to escape their pain and fears through the title and easily break down as it doesn't work under pressure (sometimes even the slightest pressure can cause it to crumble). In both cases, it impedes actual spiritual growth and/or inner-healing.

And others still like to use it to control others with, by rewarding them with the title as long as they do as they're told, and the title is taken away as soon as the person stops jumping through the hoops set before them. And still others will tell people what they want to hear if the said person forks over the cash to be reassured or ego stroked.

Right, although she didn't say that we're all like that. I'm more argumentative than I used to be - and have been cutting a few times (it didn't feel good), but that was when I was on the defensive after being attacked. Wary.

Meditation and a strange dream makes me think of my Aries grandmother as a downright archetype.

I don't feel like sharing details, but assuming that's all literally real rather than symbols within a collective unconscious, then both of those Aries would be old, perhaps even ancient or prehistoric in the case of my grandmother.

I'm not talking about those who may feel that way (and how do we even identify the age of a soul when we don't even know the "lifespan"?), but if they need to be recognized as one by others or let all the world know then they're after something non-spiritual. I've asked many times why it would be important, and I don't recall anyone ever giving a coherent answer. In any case, it really should be a non-issue.

I don't claim to be an "old soul" though. I think all signs are capable of being rude, defensive, etc, and all signs are capable of wisdom and maturity. And life can suck it right out of you again.

People always think I am older because of the way I am and my experiences and potentials also this is what I feel about myself since I was a kid

I am always considered the oldest while I'm the youngest

I also noticed I see other aries people as reckless immature personalities and I don't know why lol

The other 2 Aries (plus Linda Goodman) I mentioned would fit that description even more. My granny never married, though she did have partners at times. But only one remembers past lives.

However, there were differences (not including Linda Goodman). Farm animals are treated more kindly than I've found them to be on other farms, at least by them, but it was still a farm. And while none were vegan or anything like that, but there is a respect for nature. It's similar to how a tribal society would likely see it, one that realized they were part of nature rather than above it (and still ate animals), and see themselves as part of the cycle to be eaten by Mother Earth (and other lifeforms) as well as to be the one who eats. My cousin hunts, but won't shoot an animal if it looks into his eyes first. He doesn't hunt for the trophies. I realize that will be difficult for some to understand, but it's a different way to tie into nature, and a different understanding of karma, and it's neither as simple as "we must rise above our animal nature and not eat other animals" (or pretend that because we don't that we don't cause "harm" of a sort) nor "animals are happy meals with legs that better not so much as look at me cross eyed." If you wanna strike them off the Old Soul category for that, then that leaves only Linda Goodman.

If you "correct" me again in the future and I don't reply, don't assume it's because I took what you said to heart.
