At 12:00 PM, the Moon is in Kumbh, outside this map; its next stay in Mesh runs from Sunday 25 Oct, 7:22 PM to Tuesday 27 Oct, 9:07 PM.

Every house is counted from Mesh, so this chart is Mesh's gochar on that day. Positions at 12:00 PM, sidereal (Lahiri). The number in each house is its rashi: 1 for Mesh to 12 for Meen. R after a graha: retrograde.

Mesh on 23 Oct: the Moon is in your 11th until 3:04 PM, classically supportive, but it shares Kumbh with Rahu, so its support is muted.

Aaj ka Mesh Rashifal · Aries Moon sign · Friday 23 October 2026

Mesh Rashifal for 23 Oct: 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.

Mixed?

Friday 23 October: the Moon is in Kumbh, the 11th sign from Mesh, until 3:04 PM (since Wednesday 21 Oct, 7:01 AM). Classically, the Moon in your 11th is supportive (gains and friends), but it shares Kumbh with Rahu, so its support is muted.

Mixed. By our count for Mesh on 23 Oct, of the 9 grahas: supportive 1, mixed 3, asking for patience 5; the Moon leads the day.

The day changes at 3:04 PM, when the Moon moves into Meen; both parts are shown.

Work, Love and Health

Work and Money?

Classically, Rahu in your 11th favours gains, while the Moon in your 11th favours gains, but it shares Kumbh with Rahu, so its support is muted. Together they read as mixed.

Love and Family?

Classically, Venus in your 7th asks for care with relationships, but Venus is in Tula, its own sign, and also close to the Sun (combust); the texts pull both ways, so it is counted as mixed, while Mercury in your 7th asks for care with relationships: speak gently and listen first. Together they read as mixed.

Health?

No graha is in your 1st or 6th on 23 Oct, so the texts point to nothing particular for health.

Sade Sati and Shani Dhaiya for Mesh: Exact Dates

Sade Sati, first phase for Mesh: Saturn is in Meen, your 12th, from 29 Mar 2025 to 3 Jun 2027. The whole Sade Sati runs from 29 Mar 2025 to 31 May 2032. Traditionally this passage rewards steady effort, discipline and looking after health.

  • Sade Sati Phaladeepika 26.22–23 · Brihat Samhita 104.39–45

Within this stay, Saturn's effect is classically felt most in the last third of Meen: from 2 Jul 2026 to 20 Aug 2026 and from 11 Mar 2027 to 3 Jun 2027.

  • Felt most Phaladeepika 26.25 · Muhurta Chintamani 4.19

The next dhaiya (kantaka, Saturn in the 4th) for Mesh runs from 13 Jul 2034 to 27 Aug 2036.

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 23 Oct, the 4th house from Mesh, until 12 Nov, 8:19 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 23 Oct, the Moon is in Kumbh; its next stay in Mesh runs from Sunday 25 Oct, 7:22 PM to Tuesday 27 Oct, 9:07 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 23 Oct, the Moon is in Purva Bhadrapada; its next pass through Mesh begins in Ashwini pada 1, from Sunday 25 Oct, 7:22 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?

Sade Sati is running for Mesh on 23 Oct, in its first phase: Saturn is in Meen, the 12th house from Mesh. It began on 29 Mar 2025 and ends with Saturn's final exit on 31 May 2032. The next dhaiya (kantaka, Saturn in the 4th) for Mesh runs from 13 Jul 2034 to 27 Aug 2036. 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?

Jupiter moves into Singh on 31 Oct, 12:03 PM, the 5th house from Mesh; Rahu moves into Makar and Ketu into Kark on 25 Nov, 5:46 PM, the 10th and 4th houses from Mesh (true node; by the mean node many almanacs print, on 5 Dec); Saturn moves into Mesh itself on 3 Jun 2027, 5:28 AM. 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 23 Oct, at 7:32 AM, the Sun is in Libra 29°41′ by the tropical zodiac that birthday signs use, but in Tula 5°27′ 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.

A transit in a house the texts count favourable, with nothing holding it back.

A time for patience
A transit in a house the texts count unfavourable: a time for steady effort and simple plans.

Felt most
The third of a sign in which a graha's transit is classically felt most: the Sun and Mars the first, Jupiter and Venus the middle, the Moon and Saturn the last (Phaladeepika 26.25; Muhurta Chintamani 4.19).
Mean-node reckoning
Rahu and Ketu by their average motion, which many almanacs print; its dates can differ from the true node by days.

The panchang's good windows for new work in your city, inside the hours when the Moon is supportive for your rashi.
Exalted (uchcha)
The sign where a graha is strongest (BPHS ch. 3).
