Rashi
Aries Rashi
Aries is a fire sign connected with direct action and fast beginnings. In a kundali, rashi describes how a graha expresses and how a house receives its themes.
Sign meaning
Aries brings direct action and fast beginnings. It should be read through the planet occupying it, the house it falls in, and the sign lord's condition.
Lord, element, and modality
Aries is ruled by Mars, is a fire sign, and is chara (movable). Modality matters as much as element when reading a chart: chara signs start things, sthira signs hold and consolidate them, and dwiswabhava signs adapt and hand over. Because Mars rules Aries, the condition of Mars — its house, dignity, and running dasha — colours everything this sign touches in your kundali.
Planetary dignity in this sign
Exalted here: Sun. Debilitated here: Saturn. In own sign here: Mars. Dignity sets a baseline strength, not a verdict — a debilitated graha can be substantially rehabilitated by neecha-bhanga through its dispositor, and an exalted graha in a difficult house may still struggle. Always read dignity together with house, aspects, and dasha.
In birth charts
A planet in Aries takes on Aries's fire style. The Moon sign describes emotional patterning, while the lagna sign shapes the chart's orientation.
