Today

The Moon moves through your 11th house today, bringing income, gains and friends into focus. Jupiter favours your 4th house, opening growth and good fortune. Go slow with rest, expenses and letting go, where Saturn asks for patience. A short dawn prayer keeps the day calm and hopeful.

Love & people: Nothing is stirring in this part of your chart today. An ordinary, easy day with the people close to you.
What to do about it: Sleep early. Most of what is bothering you is tiredness.
Today's remedy: Offer a little turmeric or gram dal at a temple, or to an elder.

What this sign is

Aries (मेष) is the 1st sign of the zodiac, ruled by Mars. It is a fire sign and a movable (chara) one — which together say most of what there is to say about how it behaves.

Being a fire sign, Aries acts first and thinks after — quick, warm, impatient with delay. Being movable (chara), it starts things — the initiator of its element, and the first to move on. Its ruler Mars adds its own colour on top of that, and in a real chart the ruler's position decides how much of this actually shows.

Ruler: Mars
Element: Fire
Modality: movable (chara)

One thing worth knowing before you read any of this: in Vedic astrology your rashi is where the MOON stood when you were born, not the sun-sign the date ranges give. The Moon crosses a sign in about two and a quarter days, so the date table is right by luck rather than by rule — most people reading a column have been reading the wrong one.

This is the sign, not your chart

A rashifal is written for a twelfth of the world at once. Your own chart is cast from your date, exact time and place — and it says something no sign column can.
