Aries Horoscope — Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Aries monthly horoscope based on the Sun sign or the Moon sign?
This monthly horoscope is based on your Moon sign (chandra rashi). Through the month the Sun's transit from your Moon sign sets the tone — shifting at the mid-month Sankranti. Use the Birth Rashi calculator to find your Moon sign.
How is the Aries (Mesha) monthly horoscope calculated?
It is computed for the whole calendar month from the Sun's house from your sign (which shifts at the mid-month Sankranti), the inner-planet ingresses, and the slow-planet backdrop relative to your Moon sign. It updates each month.
What does the Aries monthly horoscope cover?
It covers nine areas — career, business, finance, love, marriage, family, children, health and education — across the month's two halves, plus the month's best & caution dates, key dates (Sankranti, eclipses, festivals & vrats), lucky colour, number & direction, and a remedy.
