Mesh Rashifal for 19 Jan: Work, Love and Health

Aaj ka Mesh rashifal, read from your Moon sign. Mesh (मेष) is the 1st rashi, 0° to 30° of the sidereal zodiac, ruled by Mars, and it holds all four padas of Ashwini, all four padas of Bharani and Krittika pada 1. In English it is called Aries, but here it means the sign the Moon was in at your birth, not your birthday sign. Every line below names its graha, the house that graha holds from Mesh and the classical verse behind it.

Aaj ka Mesh Rashifal · Aries Moon sign

Sade Sati and Shani Dhaiya for Mesh: Exact Dates

Sade Sati is Saturn's passage through the 12th, 1st and 2nd signs from the Moon sign, about seven and a half years. Dhaiya is Saturn's passage through the 4th or 8th sign from the Moon sign, about two and a half years.

No Sade Sati or dhaiya for Mesh now: Saturn is in Kumbh, your 11th, until 29 Mar 2025. The next, Sade Sati, runs from 29 Mar 2025 to 30 May 2032.

The next Sade Sati for Mesh begins on 29 Mar and ends with Saturn's final exit on 30 May 2032.

Counted from the Moon sign, as Phaladeepika 26.22–23 and Brihat Samhita 104 do. Each span runs from Saturn's first entry to its final exit, with every pause shown. Classically it is a time for steady effort and patience, not a fixed outcome.

A name rashi is the janma rashi only when the name was chosen from the birth nakshatra's syllable. Each fact is given in at least two classical texts, and where the texts differ both readings are shown. Left out: the element (tattva), which only one of the texts we read gives (Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra 4); and any colour, number or stone for a rashi, which none of them ties to good fortune.

Questions

Mesh Rashi Questions

Who is the lord (swami) of Mesh rashi?

Mars, the lord of Mesh, is in Kark on 19 Jan, the 4th house from Mesh, until Monday 20 Jan, 11:35 PM. Mars rules Mesh in every classical text we read: Brihat Jataka 1.6, Saravali 3.11 and Phaladeepika 1.6. Mars also rules Vrishchik.

Which name letters (naam akshar) belong to Mesh rashi?

On 19 Jan, the Moon is in Kanya; its next stay in Mesh runs from 3 Feb, 12:47 PM to 5 Feb, 3:46 PM: a child born in those hours has Mesh as janma rashi. Mesh's nine name syllables, one for each nakshatra pada, are Chu, Che, Cho, La (Ashwini 1–4); Li, Lu, Le, Lo (Bharani 1–4); A (Krittika 1). A name starting with one of them gives Mesh as the name rashi, which matches the janma rashi only when the name was chosen from the birth nakshatra.

Which nakshatras are in Mesh rashi?

On 19 Jan, the Moon is in Hasta; its next pass through Mesh begins in Ashwini pada 1, from 3 Feb, 12:47 PM. Mesh covers 0° to 30° of the sidereal zodiac: all four padas of Ashwini, all four padas of Bharani and Krittika pada 1, nine nakshatra padas in all, as every rashi has (Brihat Jataka 1.4, Hora Sara 1.13). If your rashi is Mesh, your birth nakshatra is one of these.

What are Mesh rashi people like?

They are described as courageous and self-respecting, with a quick, restless energy that likes to keep moving; friendly and well liked, light eaters, with round eyes. These are the points that at least two of Brihat Jataka 17.1, Saravali 23.1 and Hora Sara 29.1 share. Brihat Jataka 17.13 adds that this picture holds in full only when the Moon, Mesh and its lord Mars are all strong in the birth chart, and Hora Sara 29.13 that a graha joining or aspecting the Moon changes it, so your own kundli says more than the rashi alone.

When do Sade Sati and Shani dhaiya start and end for Mesh rashi?

Neither Sade Sati nor dhaiya is running for Mesh on 19 Jan: Saturn is in Kumbh, the 11th house from Mesh. The next Sade Sati for Mesh begins on 29 Mar and ends with Saturn's final exit on 30 May 2032. Each span runs from Saturn's first entry to its final exit, with every pause shown, and is counted from the Moon sign as Phaladeepika 26.22–23 and Brihat Samhita 104 count it. Classically Sade Sati and dhaiya ask for steady effort and patience; neither is a fixed outcome.

When does the time change for Mesh rashi?

Saturn moves into Meen on 29 Mar, 12:15 PM (EDT), the 12th house from Mesh; Jupiter moves into Mithun on 14 May, 1:07 PM (EDT), the 3rd house from Mesh; Rahu moves into Kumbh and Ketu into Singh on 29 May, 2:48 PM (EDT), the 11th and 5th houses from Mesh (true node; by the mean node many almanacs print, on 18 May). Saturn, Jupiter and Rahu–Ketu stay in a sign for many months, so their changes set the background for Mesh, and each change above names the house it brings. The daily reading on this page weighs all nine grahas together, and no rashi has a good or a poor time as a whole.

What is Mesh rashi in English?

On 19 Jan, at 12:00 PM, the Sun is in Capricorn 29°52′ by the tropical zodiac that birthday signs use, but in Makar 5°40′ by the sidereal zodiac of Vedic astrology. Mesh is called Aries in English, yet a rashi is the Moon's sign at birth in the sidereal zodiac, not the birthday sign, so someone whose birthday makes them Aries need not have Mesh rashi.
