Aries (मेष rashi)
मेष राशि · Fire · Cardinal · ruled by Mars · Mar 21 - Apr 19
The first sign starts things. Aries runs on Mars: quick decisions, a low tolerance for waiting, and a talent for opening doors that others were still discussing. The blind spot is follow-through; the day's third idea competes with the first one. In the Vedic sidereal zodiac, Mesha holds the nakshatras Ashwini, Bharani and the first quarter of Krittika, which is why Mesha rashi natives are read as initiators, carriers and cutters in turn.
