I've collected more than 400 medieval zodiac cycles, most of them labeled in Latin, and I don't recall any of them having "Arietis" as a label for Aries. The variation may exist, there are many different spellings for Pisces, but Aries seems to be more consistent.
The most common ones are Aries and Wider (German). Hildegard von Bingen used "arietem".
I can't spare time to look through all of them, but it shouldn't be necessary to point out that just because you found a word in a dictionary doesn't mean that form of the word was used in the middle ages.
