Moon Transit in Aries

Aries belongs to Mars, whom the Moon counts neutral, 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 takes time to settle.

Aries governs the head and the first impulse to act, and the Moon in this sign raises the appetite for beginnings. Decisions made in these two days carry heat and often need revisiting. Anger surfaces fast and passes 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. Virgo Moons meet Chandrashtama, the Moon in the eighth, and do well to keep the day quiet, and Taurus Moons carry it in the twelfth, where sleep runs short.

The passage shows how fast a person reacts. Watch one reaction without acting on it, and start something small that you can finish.

• 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.

Moon in Aries for each Moon sign

Counted from the natal Moon, following Phaladeepika. Ashtam Chandra is the Moon in the 8th from the natal Moon. Read the ascendant the same way. Vedha and the birth chart can change the result.
