Mesha
Mesha, the Vedic name for Aries: the 1st rashi (sign) of the sidereal zodiac. Its lord is Mars, its element Fire (Agni: warmth, drive, and spirit), and its nature chara, movable: it starts things, and moves on. In the Kalapurusha, the zodiac read as one body, it governs the head. Because Vedic astrology measures against the fixed stars, Mesha sits about 24° behind Western Aries, so a planet in the first 24° or so of Western Aries is usually in Vedic Meena (Pisces).
