Moon in Aries (Mesha)
When Moon (Chandra), the karaka of mind, mother, emotions, public, comfort, occupies Aries (Mesha), a fire sign ruled by mars, its energy takes on the pioneering, courageous, direct, energetic qualities of the sign.
The core meaning of Moon in Aries

Because Aries is a movable fire sign, it shapes Moon toward being pioneering, courageous, direct, energetic. The matters Moon governs, mind, mother, emotions, public, comfort, are coloured by these traits throughout life.
