Sun in Aries (Suryan in Mesham)
http://chennaionline.com/astro/articles/images/z_aries.jpgThe Sun is in this first sign of the zodiac from March 21 to April 20 each year. The symbol for Aries is the Ram, because of the headlong, direct, and assertive nature of the sign. The sign is also symbolized by seeds shooting out of the ground in the springtime, suggesting a time and spirit of renewal. In Aries, the Sun is highly action oriented. You like to do your thing, and you are opinionated and direct in doing it. Your Aries personality constantly wants to charge ahead, and insists on being the one who organizes, rather than ever allowing yourself to be led or organized by others. You have a hard time recognizing any point of view except your own. Highly action oriented, when an idea strikes you, you are off quickly to carry it out. Yet you are not so good in seeing projects through to a conclusion. Follow-up and finish work are not matters that suit your style. You constantly need new goals, new projects, and new challenges. You are a quick learner and a self-starter; enthusiastic and curious. The main challenge for an Aries-Sun sign native is the control of impulses. You must avoid scattering forces, for if you can learn to think before taking action, your energetic nature will enable you to do much. Natural impulsiveness and inability to listen to the advice of others sometimes involves you in difficulties. To succeed, you must learn to think everything through carefully before you proceed. Patience and the ability to plan are areas in which you may have to apply extra effort. You must reflect on the total effect of your actions to grow and progress in life. You may have a sharp temper and a quick fuse as Aries is ruled by Mars, the planet associated with war and combat. Fortunately, you get over anger as quickly as it comes, and you never hold a grudge. You are neither devious nor subtle in your actions. Many Aries Sun natives are downright blunt. Only with concentration and attention can you ever acquire much diplomacy and tact. With your natural Aries inclinations, you have a true adventurer's or pioneer's spirit; a longing for independence and a tendency to fancy yourself as a free soul. Born to lead, but not born to handle the mundane responsibility or bureaucratic red tape. When faced with complex details, you become very frustrated. Fully matured, your Aries spirit aspires to a gallant "never say die" attitude, and a willingness to take advantage of each new opportunity that comes along.

Namaste Arvind,
In your post you mention Sun is in this first sign of the zodiac from March 21 to April 20. This is a Western view.
How so?

Saayana vs. Nirayan school of Astrology.
Nir-ayan - nir= no or without + ayan or ayanansh = without Ayanansh
Sa-ayana - sa = with + ayana or ayanansh = with Ayanansh
Ayanansh = is the distance in degrees created by the difference between siderial and the tropical zodiac. This equals 1° every 72 years or ~ 50.25' seconds per year.

Why is this of great import? That of samkranti ( some write sankranti) of the sun entering a new rasi. If you offer the sun entering Aries on March 21st, then this is Saayana metrics. If one offers samkranti of the sun (transit of a graha to a new bhava or rasi) via Nirayana , then this date is April 14th. You can see the difference is not a meager number.

I am of the school of Jyotish that looks to the Panchangs based on the Nirayan metric. This is a fundamental concept of Vedic Jyotish . The knowledge is based upon sideral calcuations (that of the star positions) and not tropical ( that of the earths movements).

Siderial = Vedic Jyotish
Tropical = Western AStrology.
Vedic Jyotish ≠ Western Astrology

Impact: If you plan on giving the 12 rasi's with sun signs and their definitions, this will be based upon a Western view of the dates and sankranti. This will not be considered a Jyotish view on this matter.

Recommendation:
If you wish to do this, perhaps starting a new folder Called Western Astrology, will be approprite. Its my opinion we do not want to co-mingle Jyotish with Western Astrology.
