Moon in Sign

Aries (Western) Β· Pisces (Vedic)

The Moon in Aries stirs restless, impulsive emotions and a fierce need for independence. Feelings arise quickly and intensely but tend to burn out just as fast.

Why two systems?

Western astrology uses the tropical zodiac aligned with the seasons. Vedic astrology uses the sidereal zodiac aligned with the actual constellations, offset by ~24Β° due to Earth's axial precession.
