|---|---|---|---|
| Sub-lord | 5°33′20″ – 6°40′00″ | Dhanishtha (Mars) | 1.11° · ≈4 min of Ascendant motion |

Moon rules no nakshatra inside Aquarius, so it can only act here as a sub-lord (or as the sign-level dispositor).
The narrowest Moon sub-lord slice in Aquarius is 0.56° wide, about 2 minutes of Ascendant motion; the widest is 1.11° (≈4 min). The Ascendant moves roughly 1° per 4 minutes on average, so a few minutes of birth-time error can change the sub-lord.
