In general, a quick surf of the net will tell you that the main themes of Aries astrology are:
Birth, Beginnings, Self-expression, Appearance, Perception of the world, Our effect on others, Identity, Daring, Impulsive, Self-gratification, Challenge-oriented, Competitive
When we look at the keywords of the Aries symbols (from Dr. M.E. Jones "The Sabian Symbols in Astrology", 1953) we get the following:
Realization, Revelation, Idealization, Panorama, Interpretation, Reformulation, Insouciance, Impetuouness, Enjoyment, Zeal, Acuteness, Excitation, Invigoration, Prospect, Hospitality, Munificence, Proficency,Diligence, Exertion, Exploitation, Equipment, Set, Veneration, Reliability, Reticence, Sensibility, Release, Divorcement, Disjunction, Rumination
The keywords give us a similar sense of the main themes of Aries with Mars, which is the 'planetary' ruler of Aries.
I include these keywords purely for interest, since Dr Jones was a gifted astrologer however the keywords are purely his interpretation of the symbols. I personally focus on whatever I feel resonates with the symbol, rather than going by someone else's keyword. We all have different experiences - for example what may have been true for Dr. M.E. Jones, living in the first half of the 20th century in North America, does not necessarily resonate for a Muslim teenage girl on the other side of the world.
What is more important is whatever resonates in you; or your interpretations and your sense of what is right for you.
In all my discussions with people it is amazing the different
approaches to the same Sabian Symbol, due to our different experiences
and personalities.

A note on the images below: Aries was tricky for me to decide on a general theme for the images. I really wanted images that depicted a proud single person or thing but some symbols made that hard. So I chose images that had a "whole"-ness about them, for Aries :)
