Moon rules no nakshatra inside Aries, so it can only act here as a sub-lord (or as the sign-level dispositor).
The narrowest Moon sub-lord slice in Aries is 1.11° wide, about 4 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.
