A note on Vedic vs. Western astrology
If you’re used to Western horoscopes, you might notice something different here. Vedic astrology continues to track the precession of the equinoxes—the Earth’s slow axial shift—whilst Western astrology stopped accounting for this over 1,500 years ago. The difference is currently about 23–24 degrees, meaning most placements shift backward by one sign in Vedic. I’ve included the approximate Western rising sign alongside the Vedic one below, but for precision, calculate your Vedic sign using your exact birth details.
Aries Rising (Taurus Rising in Western)
The Full Moon lights up your emotional foundation whilst four planets activate your professional life. This month asks: what does it mean to succeed without sacrificing peace?
Your ruling planet Mars is exceptionally strong, giving you drive and self-reliance. Lead with competence, not charisma. Handle difficult conversations now—Mercury supports clarity. Build strategic alliances, but honour the inner reflection Saturn requests.
Your next career move must be grounded in emotional truth, not external validation.
Ask yourself: What does mature leadership look like for me? Am I ready to embody it publicly?
