Aries in Hebrew — Taleh, the ram of Nisan
Aries in Hebrew is Taleh (טָלֶה) — the ram. In the Jewish calendar it is not a band of sky but a month with a body: Nisan, the month of speech, carried by the tribe of Judah.
The Hebrew zodiac names are older than the Latin ones and blunter: Taleh simply means "ram." The fifth chapter of Sefer Yetzirah binds this mazal to the month of Nisan, the letter ה (Heh), and the sense of speech — a full anatomy, not just a symbol.
Here is what most Aries pages will not tell you: your Western Aries window (March 21 – April 19) usually straddles two Hebrew months — the end of Adar and most of Nisan — and because the Hebrew calendar is lunisolar, the boundary lands differently every single year. A Aries born in the early window may actually carry Adar's mazal, Pisces. The Jewish sign follows the Hebrew month you were born in, not the sun's degree.
Compute your actual Jewish sign
Pioneering, leader-like, fiery, courageous. Nisan's season carries Pesach (Passover) — the Exodus, and its avoda — the month's inner work — is pure, holy speech — tefillah and the Haggadah. Pesach = peh-sach, "the mouth that speaks."
Strengths of the Nisan-born, in the classical reading: initiative, confidence under pressure, vision-casting, persuasive speech. The growth edge: patience with slow processes, listening before speaking, delegating.
The month–mazal–letter–sense map: Sefer Yetzirah, ch. 5. The character of Nisan: Bnei Yissaschar on Nisan. The tradition's caveat that none of this is destiny: ein mazal l'Yisrael — see the Journal.
What is Aries in Hebrew?
Aries in Hebrew is Taleh (טָלֶה) — literally "ram." It is the mazal of the Hebrew month of Nisan, linked to the tribe of Judah and the letter Heh.
Which Hebrew month is Aries?
Aries is the sign of Nisan. But note: the Western Aries window (March 21 – April 19) usually straddles two Hebrew months — late Adar and most of Nisan — and the boundary moves every year, because the Hebrew calendar is lunisolar.
Is my Jewish zodiac sign the same as my Western sign?
Often not. Your Western sign follows the sun's position on your Gregorian date; your Jewish sign follows the Hebrew month you were born in. Because the calendars drift against each other, two people with the same Western sign can carry different mazalot. The only way to know is to convert your actual birth date.
