SUN and MOON for ARIES ASCENDANT:

MOON FOR ARIES ASCENDANT

Coming to the Moon, it rules the 4^th house for an Aries ascendant. The 4^th house governs ones home, mother, emotions, real estate, land property etc. In terms of physical body, it rules the heart. To understand or analyse any of these issues one needs to look at this house, any planets sitting in it, aspecting it, where its lord is located and in what dignity. We will not go into all these details, but just focus on the Moon being lord of this house and how it affects an Aries personality due to this lordship.

Moon governs all our emotions and feelings. It gives us the ability to empathize or sympathize with people. Where one’s moon is placed also shows how one relates to their mother, and how one deals with their own heart matters. In Vedic astrology and even otherwise, the placement of the moon is given utmost importance and that rightly so because if our mind is not stable and comfortable any amount of physical resources, opportunities will not be of any use.

Now when it comes to an Aries ascendant, this crucial planet rules the 4^th house, is exalted in the Taurus their 2^nd house and debilitated in Scorpio their 8^th house. All this reveals a lot of information about such a person.

Because the moon, 4^th lord gets debilitated in the 8^th house Aries ascendant people should not let others emotions define them. What I mean is, 8^th house is all about intimate bonds with others, relations where feelings are heavily involved. The moon going and getting debilitated there implies that if such Aries individual do not put boundaries for themselves and worry about what other people think of them and start defining themselves through them they get totally thrown away from their path and purpose in life.

It is best for such individuals to keep healthy emotional boundaries with people, which many a times they people naturally do. This does not mean that they should not be considerate of others emotions, they should but also maintain a healthy level of detachment.

The same moon goes and gets exalted in the 2^nd house of immediate family and material wealth. What this shows is, Aries ascendant individual love to take care of their immediate family and provide for them. And perhaps its best for them to do that. These people get great emotional satisfaction by taking care of their material responsibilities. The best way to use the moon as the 4^th lord for such people is to not invest heavily with what other people think and put that effort in taking care of their home and family.

Please note, the actual behavior will differ for every Aries ascendant individual based on the actual placement of the moon and who is aspecting it in their natal chart. This is just a small fragment of the story that such an individual is playing out.

The sun represents our ego, our personality, our ability to use or gather resources in life. It shows what our actual purpose on this earth is.

This planet of self and ego rules the 5^th house of Leo for an Aries ascendant, making them deal with 5^th house matter with lot of vigor and zeal. 5^th house relates to how’s ones creative ability, how you are able to learn and educate yourself, how you express your personality etc. Trine or trikon houses supplement each other, implying that the 5^th house improves or adds to the 1^st house of physical self and personality. It governs your education that can help you improve your life, so does the 9^th house. The Sun being the lord of this house shows Aries ascendant have a personal soul theme attached to their self expression, their education, their children, love and romance and anything the 5^th house is associated with.
