Overview

A pioneering, energetic sign. Aries Moon is associated with courage, initiative and a direct, action-first nature. In Vedic astrology Aries is ruled by Mars, is a fire and movable sign, and traditionally harmonises well with Leo and Sagittarius.

Element & quality

Aries is a fire sign, associated in tradition with warmth, drive and enthusiasm, and a movable sign — “movable” (chara) — tradition links it to initiative and change, starting new things. These are broad traditional categories for the sign itself, not a description of any one person.

Ruling planet

Aries is ruled by Mars, which in a Vedic chart represents your energy, drive and courage. Where the Moon sits in your own chart, and the planets around it, matter far more than the sign alone — this page describes only the sign in general.

How to use this

Think of your Raasi as one broad brushstroke, useful for learning the tradition and for everyday almanac timing — not a forecast of your life. Two people with the same Moon sign can be nothing alike. Take what feels useful as a gentle lens, and leave the rest.

Nakshatras in Aries

The stars (Nakshatras) that fall within Aries are: Ashwini, Bharani, Krittika. Your exact birth star adds finer detail — see the 27 Nakshatras.

⚠ A note of caution. This is a general description of the sign, not a personal reading. Your full chart depends on your exact birth details; please consult a qualified astrologer for anything important.
