Mesha (Aries)

Mesha (Aries) rising

With Mesha rising you are lean and muscular rather than heavy, of middle height, with a longish face and neck, a head broad at the temples and narrow at the chin, bushy brows and sharp eyes. Mangal (Mars) rules your lagna, so you are quick, bold and self-starting: you would rather lead than serve, you make opportunities instead of waiting for them, and you are at your best in an emergency. Ideas come fast and you want to act on them at once, which makes you a pioneer and also someone who starts the next thing before the last is finished. With benefics on the lagna this fire becomes a gift for guiding and governing others; afflicted, it runs to rashness, quarrels and leaping before you look. You rise by your own effort, earn well and spend as freely, and you are unshaken by setbacks.

The Moon in Mesha (Aries)

Chandra in Mesha makes a quick, eager mind that decides fast and wants to lead: feelings flare and cool quickly, and boredom is its real enemy. It is at its best with a clear task and room to act; a pause before speaking and patience with slower people are what it has to learn.

The Sun in Mesha (Aries)

Surya is exalted in Mesha: the self is bright, confident and made for command, and the father, the state and people in authority tend to back you. Keep the heat out of your temper and the fire serves you.
