Moon Transit in Aries

Aries belongs to Mars, who stands neutral to the Moon, and Chandra passes through in about two to three days. The Moon enters this sign roughly thirteen times a year. The mind moves quickly here and settles slowly.

Aries governs the head and the first impulse to act. The Moon in this sign raises appetite for beginnings. Decisions made in these two days carry heat and often need revisiting. Anger surfaces fast and passes as fast.

The nakshatras are Ashwini, Bharani and Krittika. Ashwini, under Ketu, suits travel, medicine and quick repair. Bharani, under Venus, holds the harder feeling of restraint, and Krittika, under the Sun, closes the passage with cutting clarity.

Gochara counts the Moon well in the first, third, sixth, seventh, tenth and eleventh from the natal Moon. Aries, Aquarius, Scorpio, Libra, Cancer and Gemini Moons receive it in those houses. Virgo Moons meet Chandrashtama, the Moon in the eighth, and do well to keep the day quiet. Taurus Moons carry it in the twelfth, where sleep runs short.

Two days of an Aries Moon show a person the speed of their own reaction. The impulse belongs to the mind that holds it, never to the day.

Watching one reaction without acting on it teaches more than the whole passage. Start what is small and finish it.

• Keep the head cool and avoid argument on these days.
• Recite Om Som Somaya Namah on waking.
• Postpone any decision that feels urgent for no clear reason.
