Aquarius covers 30 degrees and holds two and a quarter nakshatras: Dhanishta (pada 3 and pada 4), Shatabhisha, Purva Bhadrapada (pada 1 and pada 2 and pada 3). Each nakshatra has four padas.
Traditionally, a Aquarius ascendant is described as independent, systems-minded and community-aware. The ascendant is the sign rising on the eastern horizon at the moment of birth, so it depends on the time and place of birth.
With the Moon in Aquarius at birth, a person needs perspective, friendship and breathing room. In Indian astrology names and rashifal are usually read from the Moon sign.
To know your Moon sign and ascendant you need your date, time and place of birth. Our free kundli works it out in seconds.
