MOON- Mother, (Queen), emotions, how your react to emotions, home life, your peace of mind, the way you think, but do not mistake this for your intelligence, which is ruled by Mercury. We all have emotions, but our intelligence is at different level. Chandra (Moon) represents the mind. It signifies the thoughts and emotions, and the complex psychological faculty that takes input from the senses and tells the body how to respond. The Moon is the single most important planet in Jyotish because the state of mind is responsible for all the emotional responses to life, and therefore defines the subjective perception of life. Conditions affecting the Moon in the chart influence the thinking and feeling processes, mental skills and attitudes, and also responses to the world at large. MOON: The Moon god is of fair complexion. He is attired in white apparels. The colour of his chariot is white and so are the colours of horses pulling it. He is seated on the pedestal of lotus placed in a beautiful chariot pulled by seven horses. He possesses a golden crown on his head and a garland of pearls on his neck. He has a mace in one hand and the other one is raised in the posture of showering blessings. According to the ‘ Srimad Bhagawat ' Moon-god is the son of Maharishi Atri and Anasuya . He is considered to be all pervading. He possesses all the sixteen phases ( Kala ). Lord Krishna was the descendant of moon god, combined with all the sixteen phases like him. He is the one from whom all the deities' ancestors, yaksha, human being, animals-birds and trees get life. Lord Brahma made him the seed, medicine, water and the king of the Brahmins. He was married to the twenty-seven constellations i.e. ‘Ashwini', ‘Bharani', ‘Krittika', ‘Rohini' etc. These constellations were the daughters of ‘Daksha'. (Harivanshpuran) According to the Vanparva of Mahabharata all the wives of moon god are chaste and beautiful. While moving along with the constellations in their respective orbits. The moon god nurtures the living beings and classifies various festivals, combinations and the months. On the full moon day and during the rising of moon, offerings of the delicacies mined with honey in a copper-vessel is made to him then he gets satisfied. Being pleased he frees a man from all the pains and sorrows. By satisfying him one also satisfies the sun god, ‘Vishvedeva' (ancestors), ‘Marudgana' (deities controlling natural forces) and the wind god (Vayu). The vehicle of Moon god is chariot. There are three wheels in his chariot. His chariot is pulled by ten powerful horses. All the horses are divine, incomparable and are quick as the mind. The eyes and ears of the horses are white. According to the ‘Matasyapurana' the horses are as white as a conch. Mercury is the son of Moon god who took birth from ‘ Tara '. The presiding deity of Moon-god is goddess Uma . Moon-god is the lord of the zodiac sign Cancer and his ‘great-phase' ( Mahadasha ) last for 10 years . He is also considered to be the lord of the constellations. He holds the second position among all the nine planets.The Moon is considered as a high planet , till the third degree in the zodiac of Taurus . Unfavourability of the moon god causes various kinds of physical pains and diseases like mental tensions and diseases of breath. He is pleased if one fasts on Monday, or if one eulogizes and worship lord Shiva. He is also pleased if a person wears pearls. Donations of Rice, grains, Camphor, White-cloth, silver, conch, white sandal, white flower, sugar, bullock, curd and pearls should be made to please him.

Gods: within mythology the Moon is often the Suns spouse, sister or daughter. The Roman goddess of fertility Ceres, Greek Diana and Demeter as well as virgin maids as Astarte, Vesta and Maria are associated with the Moon. The ancient northern Moon is sister to the Sun. Mythology: The myth of the Moon explains the waxing and waning cycle of the Moon. Daksha Prajapati the progenitor gave twenty-seven of his sixty daughters to the Moon-Soma. These twentyseven daughters became the twenty-seven nakshatras the Moon visits every night. Soma began to favor and spend more time with one of the daughters Rohini. The other daughters became jealous and told Daksha. He became enraged and cast a spell on Soma that he would be childless and dies of consumption. The wives felt sorry for Soma and begged Daksha to lift the spell. Since the spell could never be taken away he lessened it by stipulating that the Moon would regain his strength (light) after he lost his light. Mythology: According to Harivansha Purana moon was the handsome son of Sage Atri and was nurtured by the ten Dishas(directions). Moon married the daughters of Daksha Prajapati. They were 27 in number. The names of these daughters are the 27 Nakshatras of the Zodiac. Moon visits each of them for one day in rotation. But he showed Rohini, one of the 27th wives undue favors. He also ran away with the Wife of Brihaspati the Deva Guru. Daksh the father in law cursed Moon to suffer from consumption, a gradual decay. Mercury was born a result of interaction of Moon with the wife of Brihaspati. According to western concept Moon is considered as Virgin Mary of the Roman Catholics and nourishing mother of the heavens. She is the queen of the night also called Luna (Diana). Diana is the twin sister of Apollo. She governs chastity as well as fertility. Mythology: Moon is negative, giving changeable and elastic nature and rules over personality and form. Moon is considered as mind of kalpurush. Moon is the queen of solar system. She is the Virgin Mary of the Roman Catholics and the mother of the Heavens. While the Sun pours spirit and life to all planetary bodies, the moon governs over the life of the beings on earth. She is the Luna (Diana), the Queen of the night. She is the Goddess and also a huntress. She governs chastity as well as fertility. Chandra: It is believed that the Lord Moon was born out of the divine chest of Lord Vishnu. Some say the Moon emerged from the "Holy Ocean Of Milk". Others claim that he was born to Saint Athri and his wife Anusuya. Lord Moon married all the 27 daughters of Daksha, who are star constellations in the sky. But the Moon did not evenly share his love with all his wives, preferring to spend more time with Rohini. This upset the neglected wives and they complained to their father. Daksha appealed to the Moon many times, however the Moon refused to listen. Daksha therefore cursed the Moon that he would diminish in size and become diseased. Day by day the moon waned and due to his sickness, all living things developed consumption. The celestial beings interceded on the Moon's behalf, fearing that all life on Earth would succumb to this wasting disease. Daksha promised that if the Moon would behave and visit all his wives he would be free from this consumption for half the month - hence as the Moon wanders in his celestial orbit he waxes and wanes according to prescription. In Vedic myth the Moon, or Chandra, is depicted as male. He is married to the 27 lunar mansions, or Nakshatras as they are called in Sanskrit, that make up the sidereal cycle of the Moon. This is how long it takes the Moon to move through all the signs, some 27 odd days. Each night he stays in one of the mansions until he has visited all 27 wives and the sidereal cycle is completed. But, having 27 wives, Chandra does not treat them all equally. He is especially fond of the lunar mansionRohini, in Taurus where the Moon is exalted. So the other 26 wives complain to Daksa, their father, and he

curses Chandra so he will die of consumption. But all the wives later plead with Daksa, so he partly removes the curse so Chandra's health will periodically wax and wane. This delightful tale of vengeance exemplifies the astronomical phenomena of the waxing and waning of the Moon. It also suggests that the mind, as represented by the Moon, comes into and leaves the light of higher consciousness on a cyclic basis, which would account for the decision to have 27 spouses! This is a great myth for your less problematic monogamous relationships! Candra, also known as Somaya, is said to be the son born to Atri through penance, though other versions state him to be born from the union of Atri and Anasuya. The Puranas depict him as something of a likeable rogue, of effulgent appearance and always enchanting to women. In the beginning of creation Brahma deputed the sage Atri to create progeny, who then began a penance to acquire sufficient power for the task. After some years had passed, he began to perceive the Higher Reality within himself, and tears of ecstasy rolled down his cheeks. These tears were drunk by the zones who took the form of women in order to bear Atri's children. In due course, they became pregnant, but being unable to bear the fruit of Atri's penance, they cast away their embryos. Brahma then collected all these and made them into one, and an effulgent and lustrous youth was born, Candra. The sages, Gandharvas, devas, and celestial nymphs then praised the boy, reciting Samaveda, and his effulgence increased all the more. The medicinal herbs took birth from this effulgence of the moon, hence he is known as the lord of plants, medicines and the healing herb. The twenty seven daughters of Daksa who are the twenty seven constellations were given to him in marriage. On securing the moon as their lord they shone extraordinarily. The moon too, on securing these heavenly damsels, shone excessively. However, though all his wives were equal in beauty and good qualifications, he became most attached to Rohini, and showed her preferential treatment. The other twenty six wives returned to their father complaining about their treatment and remained in his ashram. Daksa then approached the moon and questioned how such a high souled person could cherish oddity in affection toward his dependants? "If you have shown favouritism", said Daksa, "kindly desist. This is enough, repeat it no more. Oddity in behaviour is conducive to hell." Thus saying, he left but Candra took no notice and remained infatuated with Rohini. Again Daksa requested the moon to mend his ways, and again the good counsel was rejected. Finally, Daksa lost his patience. "O Candra, listen to my words. Although repeatedly requested, you did not pay heed to my entreaties. Hence fall a prey to the wasting disease." Cursed in this way, the moon contracted consumption in a trice. The whole world was affected, crops failed, and healing herbs lost their potency. The Gods, on seeing the distress caused to Candra, and the consequent suffering of those on Earth, approached Brahma and informed him of all that had happened. Brahma was not at all surprised, and narrated other examples of Candra's misdemeanours. However, he gave a solution. "Let the moon go to the auspicious shrine at Prabhasa, along with the Gods, and there propitiate Siva according to Mrtyunjaya rites." A Siva Lingam was installed, and the moon began his penance. He continued, without break, for six months, whereupon Siva appeared, and granted him the boon that he would not die of consumption. Instead, he would decline day by day in one fortnight, and grow day by day in the next. Thus the phases of the moon came into being. Siva remained there in the form of Somesvara, and a pond was manifested. It is said that if a person takes bath in the pond, and worships Somesvara for six months, he rids himself of sins and cures diseases, though they might otherwise have been incurable. His deity is sometimes shown with just a head and two hands, a white lotus in each. He rides on a two or three wheeled chariot drawn by ten horses. Spiritual/Mythological shades of Moon or Chandra

Moon is one of those celestial bodies which are being adored by mortals since ages with the believe of their being in relation with supreme paradisiacal souls or deities themselves. Moon has been the part of many holy rituals since a long for being believed as a supreme paradisiacal image and a way to bestow reverence and gratitude to other supreme souls. Moon is perceived to be a spreader of peace and calm upon the earth besides which it is believed to be a true expression of pure love even in spiritual vision. It has been worn by Lord Shiva on his head as for adorning him on account of which it’s purity and trueness have got more enhanced. The most strongly prevailed believe of Lord Chandra is that, the Hindu devotees celebrates the birth of Moon or the Day of Moon every month in the form of fasting and worshiping him and this is perceived to be the most auspicious day of the month. Including a part of roman mythology, in their words the Moon was the symbol of Diana who was the hunter goddess. Mythological Story or katha of Moon or Chandra In the words of some sacred writings like “Purusha Sukta”, it has been expressed that the Moon is begotten from the mind of a cosmic man which is called as Virat Purusa or Kal Purusa. Another part of mythology attached to the Moon says that he got married to 27 constellations of sky which are the daughters of King Dakshan among which he loved Rohini the most while almost ignoring the rest. This led to the emergence of rage in the father so on for this the king cursed the Moon to become diminished and fade ultimately on account of which all the gods asked the king for some solution to save the world from this worst predicament as resulting in making the Moon to visit each of his wife to regain his strength for half of the month. This made the Moon visit all the constellations in a month besides keep on changing the form and size. Chandra: The Moon represents our mind and mother. The condition of the Moon in the chart will show how enlightened we are in experiencing the Divine Mother within us, how clearly we can feel that our ability to nurture and empathize with others is unbounded and unlimited, and how brightly our mind can shine in sensitivity and comprehension. A person with a very well-placed Moon will feel the world is bright under any circumstance, will be able to experience the world as a place that is nourishing and supporting, and therefore be the same to the world him/herself. When Chandra is challenged, the mind will have shadows and dark corners, and fear that there is a shortage of support to carry us through, blocks our eyes from seeing the Divine Mother shine for us and through us. Chandra, the Moon -Think about its pale light, its misty halo, its phases, its movements. Remember that the Moon makes no light - it only reflects it. The Moon is the fastest body in the sky and the most changing (phases). Drawing a symbolic link with the qualities of the Moon, we can describe the nature of the mental energy called Chandra Graha (or the inner moon). The Moon moistens. It receives, moderates and transforms. It eats, digests and liquefies. By analogy in the mental realm, Chandra is passive and receptive. He is docile and submissive. He is moody, unstable and inconsistent. His behavior is childish at times. He is emotional and sentimental. He is rather shy and timid. He dreams, has a lot of imagination and knows how to imitate others. Chandra (Moon) represents the mind. It signifies the thoughts and emotions, and the complex psychological faculty that takes input from the senses and tells the body how to respond. The Moon is the single most important planet in Jyotish because the state of mind is responsible for all the emotional responses to life, and therefore defines the subjective perception of life. Conditions

affecting the Moon in the chart influence the thinking and feeling processes, mental skills and attitudes, and also responses to the world at large. The Moon – The higher Moon reflects the joy and sharing that comes with having peace of mind, the lower Moon shows the neglect and withdrawal we experience when faced with losing that peace. The Moon is the Soul as it descends into matter, and it is our connection to this soul through sense mind and body. It is where we are the most easily hurt and the most vulnerable. The Moon shows the quality of our nurturing and our capacity to nurture others. It shows the clarity of our perceptions and how they are distorted as well as our basic desire to have peace of mind. The Moon is like the window we are looking through. Whatever affects the Moon, deeply affects our life and outlook. Keywords: Peace of mind, connection or neglect, other people, the public, Mother, nurturing

Moon Positive When the Moon is full and powerful and associated with a beneficial planet, it is expected to give good results. Such a Moon in Taurus or Cancer, in an angle, or in the XI house will give extremely favourable results. The good results will be accentuated several fold when such a powerful Moon is associated with a powerful owner of the IV, IX or X house. There will be wealth, happiness, gain and comforts throughout the period. There will be auspicious events at home. The individual will have the facility of vehicles. He will be close to the seat of power. There will be success in his enterprises without much effort. This period will bring happiness and high position to the individual. The individual will gain white or good clothes. Negative When the Moon is debilitated or waning, it will cause loss of wealth. When it is powerfully placed in the III house, it will cause both happiness and pain. If it is weak and afflicted, it will cause mental pain and bodily discomfort. It will also cause trouble through servants or mother and loss of wealth. The mother of the individual will be unhappy. A weak and afflicted Moon in one of the houses of the Adverse Trio will cause trouble through the government. It will make the individual mentally disturbed. The mother of the individual will face unhappiness. The individual will not have the sense of physical well being. When the Moon is powerfully placed in one of the three adverse houses, it will cause both loss and profits. Moon – Cancer is own house. Taurus is exalted house. 3rd degree of Taurus is deep exaltation. Scorpio is debilitated house. 3rd degree of Scorpio is deep debilitation. Moolatrikona Taurus 4 to 30 degrees. Vrishabh gives the Moon the most stable sign which allows it to ridicule others easily! Also it is good for health (water content in the body). The Vrushabh moon provides a very good temperament, calmness etc which easily puts away many diseases indirectly. Moon: The Moon is debilitated in Scorpio sign up to 3 degrees. The native born with the debilitated Moon will be frank,open minded, cruel, malicious, straight forward, isolated from parents, impetuous and obstinate. Moon in Vrishchik is neech which is again more like philosophical as these folks have many times very venomous thoughts, do not like criticism, personal humor and tend to show “Khunnas” either expressed or unexpressed. They also tend to be secretive and hide information as power. This is all considered neech in Indian philosophy!

Moon :— Every planet is strong in his own Rasi, Navamsa, decanate, exaltation sign, weekday etc. She is strong in her southerly course, in her own Нога, at night, in the bright fortnight for the first ten days she has moderate strength, she is very strong for the next ten days i.e. till the 5th day in the dark fortnight, and weak in the last ten days. When she is to the North of planets or goes in a clockwise manner around them, or when she is aspected by or conjoined with benefics, or when she is aspected by all the other planets, she becomes strong. She is weak at the commence-ment of a Rasi, of moderate strength in the middle and strong at the end. She is strong in all houses when full. Mrityu Bhaga for Moon: Brihat Prajapatya tells us that the Mrityu Bhaga for Moon in signs are as given below. “26th deg in Aries, 12th deg in Taurus, 13th deg in Gemini, 25th deg in Leo, 11th deg in Virgo, 26th deg in Libra, 14th deg in Scorpio, 13th deg in Sagittarius, 25th deg in Capricorn, 5th deg in Aquarius, 12th deg in Pisces are the Mrityubhagas for Moon. The mrityu bhagas of Moon have been mentioned in this way for signs beginning with Aries. Moon Combust: The Moon is the manas, the sense mind, through which the Sun, the soul, experiences itself as the reflection of the world. When the Moon is combust, it is dark, there is no reflection; the native feels frustrated from not being able to enjoy themselves as the reflection of the world. The Moon is the social planet, whenever we do something with another we are actually only relating to ourselves, the other is merely a reflection of our self, therefore the native also suffers on account of being unable to enjoy their reflection as others. The combust Moon always indicates a lack of need fulfillment, and resulting frustration, in the areas it influences. Strength of Moon: The time from Amavasya (Sun-Moon conjunction) to the following Amavasya is divided by 3. During the 1st one-third portion, Moon possesses middling strength, full strength during the 2nd one-third portion and poor strength during the last one-third portion. Full Moon possesses such a kind of high class strength that it seldom gets spoilt for any reason. Maharshies are of the opinion that the strength of Moon under such circumstances has an importance of its own and signifies full prosperity. If the dispositor of Moon happens to be lord of Asdt or Jupiter is standing in quadrants of Moon, the native will enjoy happiness during his middle ages. If the Moon is strong all Yogas bear full fruit. A weak moon is incapable of bestowing even other planetary yogas fully and renders the yogas useless. Remember that everything has to happen through the Moon (the Mind) first before reaching a concrete level for enjoyment. The Moon is most likely of more importance than the Sun for those who are born at night. Full Moon i.e. the Moon near Purnima is considered benefic, while ‘No Moon’ i.e. Moon near Amavasya is believed not to be benefic. The Moon though a mild and benevolent planet, behaves as a malefic when too close to the Sun. Moon is benefic from ashtami of shukla paksha to saptami of Krishna paksha and malefic from ashtami of Krishna paksha to saptami of shukla paksa. Moon/Chandra=It is waxing moon while the new moon is turning into full moon as her light is increasing. It is waning moon when the full moon is turning into new moon as her light is decreasing. Thus the amount of light moon possesses determines moon’s beneficence. As her light increases, she gains greater beneficence. As her light decreases, she loses her beneficence. The waxing halfmoon phase occurs when the Moon is 90 degrees from the Sun; the degree increasing. The waning

half-moon phase occurs when the Moon is 270 degrees away from the Sun, the Moon is a benefic. From 270 degrees to 90 degrees, the Moon is a malefic. The Moon having no light of her own merely reflects the light of the Sun; the capacity of the Moon to nourish and provide growth is through creative energy of the Sun. From new moon to the waxing half-moon, the Moon has a creative urge and desire but finds it difficult to focus enough energy to bring desire into reality, therefore, the areas affected her are frustrated. From waxing half-moon to waning half-moon, the Moon is full of nourishing, growth producing energy and therefore enhances the areas she affects. From waning half-moon to new moon, the Moon is losing her light and lack is felt in the areas she affects. Those things the malefic Moon influences do not fulfill one’s needs. According to Brihat Parashara Hora Sastra, the Moon should have Ayanabala of 40 virupas to be considered strong. This makes moon an effective (benefic when it is 120 - 240 degrees from the Sun) when the Ayanabala is 40 virupas or more. At 20 virupas moon becomes an effective malefic. Description of Candra: Candra is very windy and phlegmatic. She is learned and has a round body. She has auspicious looks and sweet speech, is fickle-minded and very lustful. Moon/Chandra= Huge, round but thin body, auspicious looks, sweet speech, intuitive, discriminating, kind, fickle-minded. Discriminates through feelings rather than intellect. This is done by choosing what feels good. The Moon has a slim but roundish body, beautiful appearance, lovely eyes, sweet tongue, phlegm and wind in his composition, white complexion, short curly hair, amiable nature, Sattvika inclination, discriminating wisdom, restless nature, excessive sexual urge, white robes. The Moon : The Moon is round in shape and white in color. She has a large body, complemented with a cold, mind temperament and sweet speech. She is phlegmatic and windy. Moon :—The Moon has a corpulent body, is young as well as old, white in complexion, with lovely eyes, black and thin hair, has tender speech and mild temper. She is proficient in politics and intelligent. Moon/Chandra = ‘Manas’ or the receptive mind, where the self lives with Ahamkara or ego. The Moon, therefore indicates how we experience the world, or shows our mental attitude. Moon/Chandra = The queen, who is noble, and has social grace and care in abundance. The natural significator of ‘Mother’ The Queen/Moon is not too worried about the law nor about life after death, but is focused on the mundane things like looking after the citizens’ welfare, treating them as her larger family. She is concerned with food, social practices and festivals that involve the general masses. This pursuit requires a lower level of intellectual ability and idealism than those of the Sun and Jupiter. Hence, the Caste is a lower level vaisya. Moon/Chandra =Represents mental purity. Moon/Chandra: Water, Mind, Mom Moon/Chandra= blood. (Important for emotional renewal, keeping us mentally healthy and balanced). Moon/Chandra= Watery places. (ex: bathrooms, pools, laundries, oceans where refreshment and renewal take place).

Moon : Its exaltation sign is Taurus and debilitated sign is Scorpio. The degree of exaltation is 3 degrees. The moon represents water and indicates the water element in general in the chart. Taurus is a fixed sign with earth element. When water flows through earth it makes the earth fertile; fixed sign indicates nurturing. Fertile earth nurtures all planets and all living organisms. Fixed types are firm ,stable and determined about who they are and what they do. Exalted Moon in Taurus brings the best of lunar qualities in the person. They seek balance and harmony in individual relationships and in their organizations of immediate environment. It gives a strong sense of form and beauty, the best of lunar qualities It can make them very romantic and devotional and are often votaries of the idea that all is love manifesting the highest qualities of Venus, the ruler of Taurus combined with the highest qualities of Moon. Moon gets debilitated in Scorpio which is a fixed sign but with water element. This is kind of excess water like flood which destroys all the crop. Being fixed sign the water does not flow. It gets stagnated. In a person this creates excess of unbalanced lunar energies of past baggage of emotion and feelings. Afflictions to the moon can show personality disorders, difficulties in relating to other people and emotional disturbances. It causes lunacy ,as our language reflects in extreme circumstances specially if it conjuncts with lunar nodes in Scorpio. However, there is an exception, Scorpio being ruled by Mars is also a highly mystical sign and can be a vessel for strong psychic powers, occult etc. Mind is purely dependent consciousness, it has no real nature of its own. As such, it can function in one of the two ways. It can reflect inner nature of things or their outer appearance. If there are favorable Jupiter/Venus or Saturn in the chart, Moon in Scorpio can actually harness the excess water for high spiritual and psychic development and is often found in the charts of highly evolved Yogi and Tantrics.

Moon: The Moon can be said to be our inner child. It symbolizes an individual's feelings and emotions. Our inherent feelings, mental attitudes and honest emotions, that are true to our personal perceptions, are what our Moon tells about us. While Sun acts as a guard and outflows our thoughts after screening, the Moon expresses our honest feelings. It is soul's luminary that holds the emotional aspect of the spirit. It represents an individual's emotional and instinctive attitude that builds an important part of his or her personality. Moon's energy gives soothe and placate to mind as well as soul. THE MOON Without discussing the benefic results of well placed Moon i.e. exaltation signs (Taurus). Own sign, trine/ Kendra etc. the Moon in debilitation (Scorpio) associated with malefics or be in 6/8/12 houses would give the following bad results. — Loss of wealth, loss of position, lethargy, agony. — Antagonism towards the Ruler (VIPs) and the Ministers. — Distress to mother, imprisonment and loss of kinsmen. The above results are indicated in Prasara Hora Sastra. Further, if the Moon be the Lord of the 2nd or 7th house or be associated with lord of 8th or 12the there will be pains in the body and danger of premature death.

These are the instruments by which we perceive the world, and act and relate with it, being the cause of the play of karma. The Moon reflects the energy of the Sun and balances its fire with her fresh, cooling, nourishing and vitalizing light and nectar. It represents the mind, emotions, prana, water and liquids. Moon also represents the mother. Its position indicates the type of relation with her and her well-being, factors that have a deep effect on a person’s psychology and life. It also represents the nourishment, food and material needs for survival, all of which are provided by the mother. Therefore, a strong Moon is a great strength in the chart and helps to overcome difficulties in life. The waxing and waning cycles of the Moon are well-known for their effect on all life on earth: plants, ocean tides, climate, the female cycle, fertility and emotional moods. The Moon cycles directly affect the psychological and physiological state of humans and all living beings. Statistical studies have shown that mentally disturbed people feel more affected or aggravated during the full Moon.

Being born during the waxing Moon usually leads to a more extroverted mind and personality, while the waning Moon leads to a more introverted mind. The position of the Moon in the birth chart indicates the way the person thinks and feels, his important subjects in life and his relationship with the external world. A strong Moon in the chart reflects mental and psychological stability, good concentration and capacity of well-being and emotional satisfaction. An afflicted Moon usually reflects emotional difficulties, mental or psychological disturbances or health problems. The effects of a weak Moon can be overcome by meditation and spiritual practices, living in calm places, in contact with nature, and by white or light colors. The exact degree of the Moon at birth determines the successive planetary periods known as Maha Dashas, and it is an important factor to predict the energies and issues that will predominate over the course of time. Moon represents female fertility, blood and body fluids, the lungs, breasts, milk and the chest area. The ayurvedic constitution is Kapha or phlegmatic, and partially Vata or airy.

The distance between the Earth and Moon is approximately 2,38,000 miles. The Sun gives the spirit and life to all planets and Moon rules the lives of the beings on Earth.

MOON (Chandra) The Moon is the reflective influence. The Sun sends out its radiance and the Moon reflects it back. It is receptive, therefore represents the reflective mind giving consciousness. The Moon represents the nurturing, protecting influence that a mother provides. It is the Yin or female influence while the Sun is the Yang or the male influence. In a chart the Moon likes the support of other planets. The Moon does better when surrounded by other planets. The exception to this is the Sun, and Saturn. If the Moon is too close to the Sun we have a dark Moon and the perception can be darkened. If the Moon is close to Saturn there is depression. Also when Mercury is too close to the Moon the mind can be overly active. The Moon with Jupiter brings happiness and spiritual knowledge. Jupiter/ Moon contacts are the best (Gajakeshari Yoga). The Moon and the Sun are troubled when near the Nodes of the Moon; Rahu/Ketu. The lunar nodes cause eclipses. This shadow cast on them brings out fears and obsessions. Rahu with the Moon can cause obsessive, addictive behavior. Ketu with the Moon can cause fear, or an odd mother. Ketu with the Sun gives insecurities.

She is strong during the night and the bright half of the lunar month. The Moon signifies the mother, face, mind, blood, intelligence, beauty and vital energy. Responsible for sentimental approach. Enmity with Saturn, Ketu . Moon is the essence of woman - the feminine, mothering and nurturing. Moon rules the tides, the oceans. The element of water corresponds to the emotions. So moon as lord of waters is the quintessential planet of the emotions. Here again we see the correspondence with women in their archetypal role as primarily emotional creatures. Also on the physical level the menstrual cycle runs according to the moon phase and is therefore governed by the moon. Other qualities typically associated with the feminine are softness, passivity, receptive and absorbing. A useful analogy to illustrate the relation ship of the archetypal feminine with the archetypal masculine [sun] is the phenomenon of the moon in the night sky. The moon [passive feminine] shines with the reflected light of the sun [active masculine]. However in this context, the sun is transcendental [not seen] yet its effects are seen through the instrument of the moon. In this context the sun is held to be the soul or transcendental Self while the moon is the mind. The moon/mind shines with the reflected light of the sun/self and is a reflector and instrument there of. But the sun is the hidden, [as if] transcendental, unmanifest cause. From this we can see that the moon as well as emotions is also the mind. The mind is distinct from the intellect - that which discriminates. The moon like a loving mother does not discriminate between the well behaved and ill behaved children. She loves them all equally. In the same way the mind as repository of information gathered by the senses does not discriminate. It passively receives and absorbs. It is in the deeper functioning of the intellect [mercury] to discriminate and discern. This non discriminating and all nourishing quality of the moon is reflected in the analysis of planetary strengths or dignities. While all the other planets entertain enmity towards some of the other planets - the moon has enmity towards none. She is accepts all. Thus the moon signifies mind, mother, woman, tender feeling, love and affection, politeness, socialism, sympathy, kindness, idealism, social work, excellent physical stature, stored energy, mental happiness, mental strength, family life, happiness and miseries, treasury, people, artistic skill, silk, water, watery things, thinking, love marriage, fat, marrow, stomach, Satwa guna, phlegmatic disease, salt, cultivation, navigator, milk, manners, psycho physiological consciousness, moral and religious acts, feminine tenderness, fancies, romances etc. Metal : Conch shell, Silver, Moonstone. It signifies Calcium. Colour: Whiteness. Birth star : Krithika and Rohini. Digit: 2, 5, 15, 17, 49. Strength: The full moon attains the maximum strength when the sun and the moon are associated with stars (Nakshatras) No. 3, 4, 5. When the moon is weak in a man's birth chart or he ia associated with his enemy or natural malefic or he is debilitated the native becomes fickle minded. When the

moon is aspected by or conjoined with Saturn (Sani) the native becomes moody, gloomy, or pensive temperamentally and at the same time he (the native) becomes morose and sorrowful. Following are 2 descriptions of a person characterized by the Moon. The first characterizes a strong Moon, the second a weak Moon. She signifies one of composed manners, soft & tender, a lover of all honest & ingenious sciences Because of the speed of the moon relative to the other slower moving planets of zodiac, the moon is an indicator of change. Accordingly this type of person is always looking for the new a searcher & delighter in novelties; a natural tendency to shift from place to place; unsteady, prodigal, living for the present. Timid, easily frightened: loving peace & to live free from the cares of this life Regarding occupations: someone who operates in a variety of ways within or around their career – changing When weak or afflicted, this kind of person tends to be vagabond or lazy, shiftless - hating labor or hard work Can be a drunkard, one of no spirit or prospects, delighting to live like a beggar with no cares - or a malcontent. Moon :It is a cold, calm and quiet planet and represents mind, mother, motherland, emotions, mental inclinations, royalty, name & fame , facial lusture, money, liquids, pearls, silver, milk, fine clothes, sweet tongue, lovely eyes, lungs, liquids, amiable nature and nurses. Its color is white. It has Watery tattwa. It is feminine in nature. Its element is silver. Its gem is pearl. North West is represented by Moon. Chandra (Moon) Moon represents the mind. It signifies the thoughts and emotions, and the complex psychological faculty that takes input from the senses and tells the body how to respond. The Moon is the single most important planet in Jyotish because the state of mind is responsible for all the emotional responses to life, and therefore defines the subjective perception of life. Conditions affecting the Moon in the chart influence the thinking and feeling processes, mental skills and attitudes, and also responses to the world at large. Chandra represents highly placed people having a nurturing role, such as queens and first ladies. Whereas Surya gets its importance from being at the heart of the solar system, Chandra gets is from being closest to the Earth, and from our subjective perspective on Earth, being at the heart of the solar system. Chandra signifies our mindset and emotions, our response to sensory experiences, our imagination, our ability to care and support others, nurturing skills, empathy. Qualities signified by Chandra: motherly, caring, nurturing, emotional, sensitive, empathetic, imaginative, social, thoughtful, gentle, childlike charm.

In a social environment that is whoever takes the initiative first to care of the weak or helpless: mothers, nurses, health care workers and social workers. Moon Astrological Significance Moon means mind: Moon is associated with the functionality of mind. It is believed that the moon controls the power of mind and versatility. It is also

believed to provide power of meditation, concentration and resistance against cold diseases. The Moon in Vedic astrology is called CHANDRA. In Sanskrit CHANDRA means “bright and shining”. The Moon is also called SOMA, named after the intoxicating sacred drink used in Vedic sacrifice. Where all westerners know their Sun-sign, you will find all Hindus know their Moon sign, for the Moon, and its birth sign are important in Hindu culture and astrology. Moon importance in vedic astrology: In fact before british rule, Hindus do not celebrate their birthday on the calendar day on which they were born. Instead, they celebrate their birthday in the month they were born when the Moon enters the part of the sign it was in at birth. Such is the importance of the Moon in Vedic culture. The bright Moon is considered a benefic of the highest order, and the dark Moon is considered a malefic. The Moon is known as a hare, or rabbit in Vedic lore, as he jumps faster than any of the other grahas. The Moon rules over the sidereal sign of Cancer (Karka). He is exalted in Taurus (Vrish), and fallen in the opposite sign of Scorpio (Vrischik). Moon characteristics: The Moon is a karaka of many things. He is an indicator of the mother, and females in general, the public, general well-being and happiness, femininity and beauty, the eyesight, memory and the mind. Many western students of astrology are shocked to discover that the Moon is indicative of the mind, and not Mercury. The Sun is the indicator of the soul, and the Moon is the vehicle of the mind that receives the light of the soul. Mercury is the further process that is called the intellect, which places a value on what the mind has received. The Moon as the mind is indicative of all the senses and their ability to perceive life in its entire splendor. Mercury represents a further distillation and conceptualization of that process and its ultimate intellectualization in forming judgment. The Moon is most comfortable and powerful in the 4th House; she also likes the angles. The Moon is particularly beneficial for the water sign ascendants of Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces. Her nature is KAPHA, or watery. Her gem is the Moonstone and Natural Pearls. Her metal is silver and her direction is Northwest. Moon rules the mood or mind of invidual. In vedic astrology moon situated house in horoscope is called Rashi of individual. A Person has special interset to the characteristics of that horoscope house. Rashi plays major role in person friendships. Same type of Rashi people have good understanding. The Moon’s day is Monday. The Moon comes into her full maturity at age 24. In Vedic myth the Moon, or CHANDRA, is depicted as Male. He is married to the 27 lunar mansions or NAKSHATRAS as they are called in Sanskrit that makes up the sidereal cycle of the Moon.This is how long it takes the Moon to move through all the signs, some 27 odd days. Each night he stays in one of the mansions until he has visited all 27 wives and the sidereal cycle is completed. But, having 27 wives, Chandra does not treat them all equally. He is especially fond of the lunar mansion ROHINI, in Taurus where the Moon is exalted. CHANDRA (MOON) is a lovable God – a loving god. Pleasing to children as well as elders universally appealing to everyone whatever may be the religion of the onlooker. Sages and devotees invoke the Goddess Mother in Chandra and meditate for hours. This graha (Moon) causes nightfall strengthens the mind, purifies the blood and is considered as the mother who radiates nectar (Amrut). Worship of this graha is said to be beneficial for relief from all sorrows, helps in curing mental afflictions etc. His cool rays radiate happiness around. He adores the

head of Lord Siva. In the Zodiac he is the lord of Cancer. Worshipping Chandra on Mondays is said to be very effective in getting one’s prayers answered. Moon Nakshatras: In Rohini, Hast, Shravan, Punarvasu, Vishakha, and Purva Bhadrapad nakshatras it gives good and beneficial effect. It also gives favorable effects if it is in Kritika, Uttra Phalguni, Ashlekha, Jyestha, Uttra Khad, and Revati nakshatras. Moon friends and enemies: Sun, Mars, and Jupiter and the Moon’s natural friends, and Mercury, Venus, and Saturn are its natural enemies. The Moon: effects and importance in Indian astrology The Earth’s Moon is also considered as a planet in Indian Vedic Astrology. In the solar system Moon rotates our Earth. Moon is the natural satellite of planet Earth. Being the closest celestial body, it profoundly impacts on all life forms on our planet. Moon is beneficial to those born in ascending moon cycle and unfortunate to those born in descending moon sign. Moon is believed to influence the human personality, thinking process, human instincts, human subconscious mind, human feelings and all other mental processes. In abstract, moon represents our mind and is supposed to govern the power of mind. Moon also deeply affects water, tides as well as our body fluids. The Moon also dominates over the waters and liquids within our bodies. Moon is also responsible for our long distance travel, mental peace, memory, relation with our mother and childbirth. A good and powerful moon in our horoscope provides us with excellent emotional strength and harmonious life. A weak moon in our horoscope can result in mental anxiety, emotional disturbance and tough relations with our mother and people around us. The Moon rules Cancer Zodiac sign and is strong there in its own sign. It is dominating in Taurus and out of action in Scorpio. The planets - Jupiter, Sun and Mars are the Moon's natural friends. In addition to our sensitivity and emotions, according to Vedic Astrology, our looks, love for fine arts, intuitions, imagination, creativity, and sensuality is deeply connected with the placement of Moon in horoscope. The Moon governs over impregnation, birth of a child and the animal instincts. The Moon represents mother, mother’s family, grand mother, old woman, horse, navigation, agricultural land, lord shiva, love, kindness, mental peace, heart, services rendered for other’s welfare and the fourth house. The Moon effect comes up in the 16th, 51st and 86th year of the native and similarly its first cycle falls in the 24th year, the second in the 49th year and the third cycle falls in the 94th year of the native. The Jupiter, sun and mars are moon’s friends, whereas Saturn.Rahu and ketu are inimical to her. For her protection, the moon sacrifices her friendly planets-sun, mars or Jupiter. Moon is the lord of the 4th house in the horoscope chart, stands exalted in the 2nd house of Taurus sign and becomes debilitated in the 8th house of sign Scorpio. The Moon provides very good results if placed in the horoscope houses 1, 2, 3,4,5,7 and 9 whereas the 6th, 8th, 10th 11th and the 12th houses are bad for the moon in horoscope chart. The death of a domestic milk animal or a horse, drying up of a person’s well or pond, the loss of the senses of touching and feeling are the signs of Moon turning malefic. The Placement of the ketu in the 4th house in the horoscope chart causes Mother’s debt. In such a situation pieces of silver of equal weight and size be collected from every member of family and the same should be thrown together into the running water of a river. Consequently all the ill effects would be warded off.

Know Your Planets - The Moon The Moon is considered to be the second most important planet in a horoscope after the Sun in Astrology. And in case of Vedic and Indian astrology, the Moon is considered first even to the Sun for reading and predicting many important spheres of a person’s life from his horoscope. For example, the Janma Nakshatra or Birth Constellation of a person as per Vedic Astrology is the Nakshatra in which the Moon is present at the time of birth of a person and accordingly the name of the person is suggested depending upon the Alphabet or Alphabets for that Nakshatra. The daily, weekly and monthly forecasts for the people are also made on the basis of their Moon Sign which is also known as their Rashi unlike such forecasts made according to Western Astrology which are mainly based on the Sun Signs and the dates or months of birth. In traditional Indian Astrology the Match Making for marriage is also done by a system called Gun Milan which is totally based on the calculations done by observing the placement of the Moon in specific Nakshatras and Signs at the time of birth of both the Boy and the Girl. It is considered according to Vedic Astrology that a marriage is the union of two minds more than anything. And as the Moon is a direct ruler of the mind more than any other planet, so all the calculations for Match Making are done by observing the position of the Moon in the horoscopes of the Boy and the Girl at the time of their birth. And then there are some other important concepts in Vedic Astrology like GandMool Dosh and Ruling Periods of Planets which are also based on the placement of the Moon in a horoscope at the time of birth of the native. So the Moon is indeed the most important planet in Indian Astrology. The Moon is a cold and moist planet and it is considered as a female planet for Astrological purposes. The Moon signifies the mother and the mind in the horoscope of a person above all the other significances. As both the mother and the mind are very important factors in a person’s life, so the placement, strength and nature of the Moon in a particular horoscope is of great importance. It also signifies Queens, authorities dealing in public relations, people with healing and psychic abilities, people dealing in hotel business that provides comfort to the people, Large bodies of water and the sailors, Nurses and other people in medical profession who take care of the patients and so many other things and people. In general the moon mainly represents the people and places related to public communication, public services and water bodies. The Moon is a very important planet when it comes to define a person according to his horoscope as it rules the mind, the emotions and the senses. It is the strongest when present in Taurus which is its sign of exaltation and it is also very strong when present in Cancer which is its own sign unless it is afflicted by some negative planet or planets or is weak by its placement in the horoscope. People with a strong Moon in their horoscope are usually caring in nature, pleasant in speech and very sensitive and emotional at the same time. Such people usually don’t have to work very hard to get luxuries in their lives and they are likely to enjoy the easy gains like a Queen who herself does not have to work hard for the luxuries but she gets them by virtue of being the wife of a King who bears most of the responsibilities which come as a cost of those luxuries. So there is a very clear difference between the people blessed by the Sun and the People blessed by the Moon. People primarily blessed by the Sun usually elevate to high positions by virtue of their efforts or they do hard efforts to maintain those high positions in case they get them in inheritance whereas the people primarily blessed by the Moon elevate to high positions with little effort and they don’t have to do much to stay at those positions. So the Moon spells easy gains when it blesses someone. As the Moon rules the mind and the emotions, people under the strong influence of the Moon are

usually very emotional and can be easily hurt. Such people are romantic as well as very sensitive. They usually care a lot for the people around them and expect the same in return and may get hurt easily when they don’t get what they expect. But they easily forgive others and can keep on caring for a person even after getting hurt by him many times. The Moon blesses people with artistic talents like poetry, pubic performances and other artistic talents which bring out the potentials of the mind. The Moon also blesses people with psychic, astrological and spiritual abilities and such people are very good at communicating with people and healing them through their communication skills and healing powers. The Moon represents the Kapha or Water element in the body and so it controls the percentage, strength and flow of the fluids in the body of all the human beings. People with a strong Moon in their horoscope are likely to put on weight either by retention of water or by means of their laziness and their tendency to sleep more than usual which may bring heaviness to their body especially in the later years of their lives. Such people are prone to colds more than the other people and can easily develop phlegm inside their chest. In general the diseases caused by virtue of Moon are usually watery or mental in nature. A weak or afflicted Moon in a horoscope can mean very bad things to the native, especially mentally and in terms of enjoying luxuries and comforts. The Moon is the weakest in Scorpio which is its sign of debilitation and it can otherwise become weak by placement in some particular houses or by afflictions of one or more negative planets. The Moon is also considered negatively affected when it is placed in some particular Pada or parts of some particular Nakshatras thereby giving birth to a defect named GandMool Dosh which may affect the general as well as particular significances of the Moon in a particular horoscope. The worst afflictions in case of the Moon come from Ketu and Rahu and then the Saturn. A strong affliction from Ketu to an already weak Moon can very well make the native suffer from Mental and Psychological disorders and such people may spend many years of their lives in a mental hospital. Afflictions to the Moon disturb the peace of mind of the native and the native may also suffer from insomnia which is commonly known as sleeping disorder. Such people experience difficulties in having a sound and natural sleep. Apart from these general significances, the particular significances ruled by the Moon in a horoscope are also disturbed if the Moon is weak or afflicted in a horoscope. For example, if the Moon is representing Marriage or Married life in a particular horoscope, any serious afflictions to the Moon in that horoscope can cause Delay in marriage of the native and major disturbances in the married life which may ultimately lead to a separation or divorce depending upon some other factors in the horoscope of the native and his spouse. The Power of the Moon The Moon represents the mind and accordingly, it indicates a person's thinking, feeling, and other mental processes. It represents all things that have to do with one's mother, as well as motherhood in women. It is representative of interaction with the public, or public businesses, water, liquids and the tides of the sea, over which it rules. It also has dominance over the waters and liquids within our bodies. Emotions and sensitivity may be understood by the position of the Moon in a person's chart. The Moon's nature is tender-hearted and wise. It rules peace of mind and gives a general sense of comfort and well-being. The Moon reflects understanding and sense of purpose, intuitive ability, sensuality, love for fine arts, music and jewels. It also rules our moods, emotions and sensitivity.

The Moon is also responsible for growth, fertility and impregnation or conception. It influences childbirth and memory and has great influence over travel. A strong Moon in the chart will indicate a happy mental state, good mother, opportunities for travel over water and success in businesses that has to do with the day to day needs of the public. It may bestow a wonderful social life and pleasure from different modes of enjoyments if the Moon is beneficially disposed, or well aspected. A powerful Moon gives emotional strength, makes for good relations and love for others. It will give good intuition, purpose to life, an attraction for the fine arts and make a person attractive to others. If the Moon is weak in the chart you may be subject to mental anxiety. There may be emotional instability and an inability to relate well to others. If badly aspected, the Moon can make one unfriendly and unable to share intimacy, or will cause you to lack contentment or peace of mind. An ill-placed Moon may make for inclinations to moodiness and feelings of depression, with an unclear mind. Depending on how severely afflicted it is, there may be a tendency towards neurosis, hysteria or insanity. It can make a person feel lack of joy or satisfaction, there by bringing about acute realization of the sufferings felt in this material world. There may be indications towards ill health of the mother, or difficulties in social advancement. Physically an afflicted, debilitated, or otherwise ill-disposed Moon may indicate anemia, lack of body fluids or body weight, constipation and dryness of the skin. It can cause colds, fevers, bronchitis, intestinal problems, or even susceptibility to cancer. Organs, such as the lungs and kidneys, may also be weak and there may be menstrual or infertility problems in women. The Moon is the ruler of the sign Cancer or the Zodiac and is strong there in its own sign. It is most powerful, or exalted, in Taurus and fallen, or debilitated, in Scorpio. Jupiter, Sun and Mars are the Moon's natural friends. Moon is very strong in its birthstars of Rohini, Hasta and Shravan. It is still quite strong in Jupiter's birthstars of Punarvasu, Vishakha and Purvabhadrapada. It is also giving good effects when in Karttika, Uttara Phalguni, Ashlesha, Jyestha, Uttarashadha and Revati. The Moon is auspicious for those born during the waxing of its cycle but causes difficulty if born during the descending cycle. It is always a benefic planet and is strongest from the tenth day of waxing to the fifth day of its waning. Its effects are powerfully felt in childhood, as Moon rules over this period of life. Moon The Moon expresses personality and has rule over the sign of Cancer. It is a feminine planet which is cold, moist, watery, phlegmatic and nocturnal. The native who has a strong influence of the Moon has a fair stature, pale complexion, round face, bright eyes, short arms, thick hands and feet, smooth, corpulent and phlegmatic body. If approaching to a conjunction of the Sun, the native is likely to be of a very delicate constitution during the first four years of his life. The Moon is easily influenced by every other force and this planet is more sensitive to the influence of the signs of the Zodiac than any of the other planets. In fact what accounts for the greatest difference in two lives born only a few moments apart is the slight change in the degree in the ascendant and the position of the Moon. This is the reason why twins are often so unlike each other. Apart from the fact that the signs themselves affect the Moon tremendously, the subdivisions into decades also have an equally great effect.

If the Moon is in a good aspect of the individual’s horoscope, the native will be mild, soft, kind, ingenuous and polite. But he will also be timid, thoughtless, unsettled. He would be totally averse to disputes or troubles of any kind. When the Moon is in an ill dignifies aspect the native is bound to be idle, stupid, petty and fond of alcohol. The Moon governs the brain, the stomach, the bowels, the baldder and the left eye. It also has much influences over the fluids of the body, the salion, lymphs, glands, and in case of women the breasts. If the Moon is the star of destiny of an individual it has a strangely double quality on the influence it can have on the person. Its vibrations can produce either extreme purity and devotion to the higher things or it can make one a slave to the emotions. People born under the strong influence of Moon should choose well their associates and adopt a line of life in which discipline is rigid. Otherwise they are in danger of being lax and casual about life. The native of this planet is extremely sensitive and naturally absorbs, all kinds of influences. Therefore the native must try to discriminate between the true and false, between things worthwhile, and those which are useless. The natives of this sign usually know of no middle paths. The native of this planet is usually extremely adaptable and this can give him charm. He is usually versatile and he has a tendency to take advantage of opportunities however, it can also have the opposite effect and make the native to be simply a straw to indicate which way the wind blows. If the native exercises sufficient will power, the forces can be stabilized to overcome the tendency to diffuse one’s forces. When the Moon is the dominant force, the native is prone to change the vacation chosen early in life, although it might have been the stepping stone that might have led to his true work later on. It brings in his life many changes of position and fluctuations of reputation. However, the native is not destined to lead an obscure or uneventful life. And therefore the native must so govern his affairs that any publicity which comes may be conducive to success and happiness. This planet often brings the native, opportunities to play important parts in public affairs, politics or clubs. The Moon rules the populace and as such many who enjoy great popularity and who influence the masses are born strongly under this planet. Many distinguished men involved in public affairs, are under the strong influence of this planet. The Moon also governs the home. Therefore women who are natives of this planet make excellent wives and mothers. However, they are prone to live novelty, change and sensation, and as such they often find it necessary to have a large circle of acquaintances and to be given greater freedom. Without this freedom, they are inclined to become restless and dis-contended with their domestic life. The masculine natives of this planet are likely to attract wives of masculine types. There is a tendency for them to develop into being “henpecked husbands” unless they cultivate will and grow more self-assertive. The Moon enjoys great importance, although she is of negative influence, because she represents the sensorium. Whatever goes to man, the qualities he may possess, his ego, all these things can only come into manifestation through the medium of the senses. An afflicted moon, regardless of other aspects in the horoscope, cuts one off from the ability to make use of all that might be promised by the other planets, and inhibits their qualities. The afflicted moon can produce afflicted sensorium sufficiently to prevent any qualities of other beneficient planets to have effect.

Being of swifter motion than the other planets the influence of the moon is of very great importance and she forms more aspects. She indicates minor incidents circumstances, changes and all action of daily life. She is therefore responsible for the mundane happenings which are of interest to the average men and woman. Her diseases are consumption, rheumatism, vertigo, colic, palsy, apoplexy, seropila, small pox, dropsy and most important of all, lunacy, in its various forms. Moon, in her bad aspect, is the most undisputed threat to the health, and can be the cause of most of the functional disorders. MOON-A Mindful Planet M – Mother, Mind, Moods O – Ocean (water), ovaries O – Optimism, obedience N – Nurse, Nurture Moon is the only natural satellite of the planet earth, where a human has set foot upon. The Moon is the second luminary in astrology, the other being the Sun. If Sun is masculine & cruel, karaka of father and the king of planetary cabinet, Moon is feminine, cool & benefic, karaka of mother and the queen of planetary cabinet. Besides the Sun, the Moon is the brightest object in the sky though it radiates because of the light of the Sun & can be very easily seen with the naked eyes. If Sun is the soulful planet, Moon is the mindful planet in Indian astrology. If Sun’s energy works as a life force, Moon’s cool & benefic temperament maintains the balance & controls the rate of flow of vital energy. Moon is called ‘chandra’ or ‘Soma’ & represents Monday. The famous Vedic verse Purush Sukta describing the Cosmic man, states- ‘Chandrama Manso Jatak’. Moon was born from the mind of the Cosmic man i.e. Kal Purush. Moon is the presiding deity of the element water. The Sun has governance over all those places like temples, mosques, & churches etc. The Moon has her domain in bathrooms, inside & outside the house, over tanks, wells, seas, rivers & any other water bodies Moon plays a central role; or rather you can say the pivotal role in Indian astrology. As from starting making the horoscope to the prediction, muhurats for all occasions, festivals as well as in Mundane astrology, we follow Moon & take into consideration Moon’s position at that particular time. Moon sign or the sign in which moon is placed at the time of the birth is of utmost importance. Moon sign is neither the Zodiac sign nor the ascendant, which it has been mistaken for. The prediction is done on the basis of the Janam Rasi or the sign in which Moon is placed in the birth chart. The star constellation in which Moon is placed is called Janma Nakshatra. Moon governs the 4th house of Kalpurush kundali & owns the sign Cancer. Moon exalts at 3 degree Taurus and is in deep debilitation at 3 degree Scorpio. Its mooltrikona sign is Taurus. When the Sun & Moon are in the same rashi, it is called Amavasya. When the Sun & Moon are in the exact opposite signs or 180 degrees apart it is called Purnima or full Moon day. Moon is the fastest moving planet which stays in one sign in two to two & half days, & completes the Zodiac in 28 days. By Sanjana Mittal

Chandra (the Moon) Externally, Chandra represents highly placed people having a nurturing role, such as queens and first ladies. Whereas Surya gets its importance from being at the heart of the solar system, Chandra gets is from being closest to the Earth, and from our subjective perspective on Earth, being at the heart of the solar system. Surya gets its power from mere gravitational pull, but Chandra gets it from being close. Therefore, Chandra represents powerful people that play a more subjective role, nurture or are simply close to us like a mother. The light of the Moon is the reflection of the Sun, most visible in the absence of the Sun. Therefore, Chandra represents people that pass on the inspiration and spirit of the leaders, but in a supportive and gentle way. Physically,

Chandra (Moon) Astronomy: It is the only satellite of the earth. Though it is considered as a luminary in astrology it does not emit its own light but shines due to the reflection of Sun's radiation. At the perigee moon is 356404 Kilometers away from the earth and at the apogee it is 406680 Kilometers away from the earth. As applicable for all the planets its path is also elliptic.

Moon / Chandra Mantra to Chant Aum Som Somaye Namah Aum Gemstone for this Planet – Pearl Moon as a Factor If the planet other than the Sun occupies the second sign as counted from the sign occupies by the Moon it constitutes Sunapha Yoga. If any planet other than the Sun occupies the sign twelfth from that occupied by the Moon, this is called Anapha Yoga. If there are planets other than the Sun in signs, i.e. adjacent to the sign tenanted by the Moon, it is called Durudhara Yoga. The Sun in second or twelfth from the Moon does not mar the Yoga, but is not taken into consideration for constituting the Yoga. All these three Yogas are good for wealth and prosperity. If there is o planet (Sun, Rahu and Ketu are not taken into account in Yogas 1 and 2) on either side (adjacent to the Moon sign), it is called Kemadruma Yoga and the result is poverty. There is one exception to this Yoga. If Jupiter is in the first, fourth, seventh or tenth house from the Moon, it cancels the Kemadruma Yoga. Adhi Yoga is also formed if instead of counting from the ascendant, the three benefics occupy the three houses-the sixth, seventh and eighth as counted from the Moon. In I (3) and IV (3) above it is not necessary that Mercury, Jupiter and Venus be in the sixth, seventh or eighth house in regular order. They can all be in one house, or in any two houses or in three different houses; but these houses must be sixth, seventh and eighth. Nor is the Yoga cancelled if along with benefics there are malefics, though the power is impaired. If instead of the three benefics only one is present, 33% of the good effects will be felt; if there are two benefics, the good effects will be 66%, while if all the above three are present, good results will be obtained in full. Such a native is wealthy and occupies a good position in life. One point must be clarified. In considering this Yoga it has to be judged from the ascendant (see I(3) above) or independently from the Moon. We cannot mix up the two, by saying Mercury is in the

sixth from the Moon and Jupiter seventh or sixth from the ascendant and so an Adhi Yoga is formed. If however the Moon is in the ascendant, the Adhi Yoga will be formed by benefics in the sixth, seventh and eighth from the ascendant. This will be one Adhi Yoga. Another Adhi Yoga will be formed from the Moon. And thus a double set of Adhi Yoga will be formed which will be doubly good. If all the three benefics, Mercury, Jupiter and Venus, are in the third sixth, tenth or eleventh house from the Moon, the Vasuman Yoga is formed. For result and other particulars see Yoga I (4). Yogas-Combinations of Planets If the Moon is in the third, sixth, ninth or twelfth house from the Sun, the native is courteous, intelligent, learned, wealthy and clever. If the Moon is in the second, fifth, eighth or eleventh from the Sun, the above qualities are of medium order. If the Moon is in the first, fourth, seventh or tenth from the Sun, the above good qualities are at their minimum. If the Moon is in an angle from Jupiter it constitutes Gaja Kesari Yoga. The native is long-lived, wealthy and prosperous. If both the planets are in angles from the ascendant also, it is a more powerful Yoga. If the Moon is in the sixth, eighth or twelfth house from Jupiter, it constitutes Shakata Yoga. The native undergoes a cycle of prosperity and adversity like a wheel; for a period he is prosperous and this is followed by a period of adversity, then again a prosperous period, and so on. If the Moon is in angle from the ascendant the above Yoga is not formed. If the Moon and Jupiter are in their own signs or in their respective signs of exaltation and posited in the first, fourth, fifth, seventh, ninth or tenth house and resultant Yoga is called Gauri. The native leads a comfortable life and is well honoured by the government. If the Moon and Mars are together, the native is always rich; of course the effects would differ in intensity according to the sing and house position and according to the houses these planets are lords of. If a full Moon occupies the fourth, seventh or tenth house and is aspected by Jupiter and Venus, the native verily occupies a very high position and has real splendour. If the full Moon is in the ascendant in Taurus, Venus in Libra and Mercury in the fourth house, the native occupies a very high rank. The Moon's Effect on Health Sita Ram Singh, New Delhi According to the Ayurvedic system of medicine every disease initially affects the mind, then it spreads in the body and produces visible symptoms coupled with discomfort. Astrology regards the Moon as the karaka (significator) for mind ¼pUnzek eulks tkr%½. Being nearest to the earth, the Moon influences earthly vegetation and living beings through control of the water content in their system. The Moon draws energy from the Sun and uses it for procreation and growth, a maternal function, and is therefore, considered karaka for mother. As the fastest moving planet, Moon is also responsible for fluctuations in human mood. The Moon is exalted in Taurus (3°) and is debilitated in the opposite sign Scorpio (3°). It is considered to be of medium strength from Sukla Paksha Pratipada (first lunar day of the bright half) upto Dasami; fully strong from Shukla Ekadasi (11th lunar day of bright half) to Krishna Panchami (5th lunar day of dark half), and weak from Krishna Shashti (6th lunar day of dark half) to Amavasya (New Moon). The Moon produces good results for Aries, Cancer, Libra, Scorpio and Pisces Ascendant natives, being the lord of the 4th, 1st, 10th 9th and 5th house respectively. When Moon is strong,

free from malefic influence and aspected by benefics, it cancels all the blemishes and makes the native healthy, cheerful and prosperous.

The reason has been explained by Mantreswara in the sloka (Phaladeepika , Ch.IV.11), meaning, the strength of the Moon boosts up the strength of all other planets. The Moon primarily governs the childhood period of life. Hence, when at birth Moon is weak, in Rasi Sandhi, conjoined with malefics and without any benefic aspect or there is no benefic in a Kendra, it shows danger to the life of the child. According to Brihat Jataka (Ch. VI. 11):

"If the Moon with malefics occupies the 5th, 7th, 9th, 12th, 1st or 8th house, and is not aspected by or combined with powerful Venus, Mercury or Jupiter, death comes early." Diseases and Signs : A weak and afflicted Moon in the 6th house causes frequent illness and native does not enjoy good health. According to Laghu Jataka (Ch. IV. 2) Moon is windy, phlegmatic and controls blood Any affliction to Moon causes diseases due to these factors.

Affliction to the Moon causes disease of lungs, breathing problems and blood related ailments. Moon in Taurus : Being exalted, the Moon gives good health and endurance. When afflicted the native suffers from diseases of eyes, throat, tonsils, speech and neck.

When afflicted, the native suffers from kidney, blood, urinary and back problems. He may also have head and stomach ailments.

Moon in Pisces: Moon here attracts diseases and native catches infection early. He suffers from blood related ailments, diseases of feet, soles and corns.

Ailments in Moon Dasa : The Moon causes illness during his Dasa, according to his location in the horoscope as follows: • If Moon as Ascendant lord is weak and afflicted in the 6th, the native suffer from one or the other ailment. • If weak and afflicted Moon is in the 8th or 12th house with a malefic, and there is no benefic in a Kendra then there is danger of Balarishta (death in childhood). • Moon is the karaka for the right eye in female charts and the left eye in male charts. When Moon is lord of the 2nd or the 12th house and afflicted by Saturn or other melefics, the native suffers from eye diseases which weaken the eyesight. • Moon covers the chest, and Mercury breathing. When Moon, sign Cancer, Mercury and sign Gemini are afflicted by Rahu and Saturn, the native suffers from asthama. • When Moon, Sun Mars are in the 6th, the native suffers from colic pains. • When Moon and Cancer are afflicted by Saturn, Rahu and Mars without any benefic aspect, the native gets tuberculosis. • Moon controls the flow of blood and Mercury the skin.

Effects of Transit : The transit of planets in different houses from natal Moon causes illness related to the house occupied by the Moon and the karkattwa of the transiting planet. Name of Planet

Timing of Operation : According to classics, surgical operation of the part of the body represented by the house through which Moon is transiting on the date of surgery will not be successful. For example, when Moon is transiting through Aries, then the operation of head and eyes should be avoided. When Moon is transiting Taurus, then tonsils, throat and mouth surgeries should be avoided. In addition, the sign representing the part of the body being operated upon should be occupied by or aspected by benefics and Mars and Saturn should not aspect each other. Taking of Medicine : Medicine taken when Moon transits Cancer and Pisces (watery signs) produce good results. Though Scorpio is also a watery sign it is excluded because Moon is debilitated there. Chaturthi, Navami, Chaturdasi and Amavasya Tithis should be avoided for start of medication. Similarly, taking medicine on Janma Nakshatra day is not fruitful. While starting the medication the 7th, 8th and 12th houses counted from the Moon and Ascendant should be without any planet. During acute illness, condition improves when Moon in transit conjoins benefic planets. When Moon conjoins with the lord of the 6th, 8th or other malefics, then there is deterioration in one's condition and the medicines taken may not produce the desired relief. For psychiatric treatment, the transit of

the Moon through Cancer and Pisces (watery signs) and in Gemini, Libra and Aquarius (airy signs) is helpful. Remedial Measures : When weak and afflicted Moon is causing disease, the native should strengthen him by: • Wearing a good quality pearl of 6.25 to 6.5 ratti in silver on the little finger of the right hand during Shukla Paksha on Monday after Moonrise after due purification of the pearl. • The native should wear white clothes and donate white items (milk, curd, rice, white flowers, white sandal, silver ring, etc.) on Mondays to a young Brahmin lady. • The native should touch the feet of his mother (charansparsha) daily in the morning and seek her blessings. • He should propitiate the malefics afflicting the Moon through Puja and Mantra japa. The following Sloka of Durga Saptasati is effective for early recuperation. It should be- recited daily in morning after bath, lighting a pure Ghee lamp and sitting in front of the photograph or idol of Goddess Durga. One, three or eleven malas (108 times) of the Sloka using Tulsi beads or Rudraksha should be done depending on the severity of the disease. When the native is not able to do it himself, then a member of the family can do it on his behalf after taking a Sankalpa to that effect. The Mantra is as follows:

Diseases are the result of sins committed in past births. The remedial measures are medicines, charity, Japa, Homa and Divine Worship. Among other measures Mrityunjaya Mantra Homa has been regarded panacea for all types of diseases.

The worship of Brahmins is essential for all Homas. Discussion of Horoscopes (1) Female: DOB: 6.11.1980, 5.45 AM, Delhi The native was born in Chitra Nakshatra (2nd Pada).

Moon Planet in Horoscope (Ruler of the subconscious) Dadhi-shankha-tusharabham kshirodarnava-sambhavam namami shashinam soman sambhor mukta-bhushanam (I bow down to the Moon, who is creamy white like a container of yogurt (dahi) and most pleasing, born from the churning ocean of milk, the effulgent emblem of devotion, which adorns the head of Lord Shiva. Om, I bow to the Moon.) Moon is the natural satellite of planet Earth. Being the closest celestial body, it casts profound effects on all life forms on the planet. Humans are no exception. Moon affects our personality, thinking, instincts, subconscious, feelings, and all the mental processes. In abstract, moon represents our mind. In Indian astrology, the placement of moon in the chart of a person is of highest importance. Moon is suppose to govern the power of mind. Moon also deeply affects water, tides as well as our body fluids. Moon is responsible for our fertility, growth, long distance travel, mental peace, memory, relation with our mother and childbirth. A good and powerful moon provides us with good emotional strength and harmonious life. A weak moon can cause mental anxiety, emotional disturbance, and tough relations with our mother and people around us. Along with our sensitivity and emotions, our looks, love for fine arts, intuitions, imagination, creativity, and sensuality is deeply connected with this planet (planet as in astrological terms only). According to Hindu mythology, Moon had married all the 27 daughters of king Dakshan, who are the star constellations (27 Nakshatras) in the sky. But he loved to spend time with only his beloved queen Rohini. Other wives complained the matter to their father. Inspite of king Dakshan`s repeated interference, Moon did not rectify his habit. Dakshan finally lost his mind and cursed moon, causing it to wane in size. Moon started diminishing in size, and feeling the ill consequences of it, all the gods intervened and requested the king to revoke the curse. King then assured that only if Moon visits all his wives, he would regain his strength for half a month. That is the reason why Moon visits the entire 27 constellations during the month, constantly waxing and waning in size. Moon is the ruler of the zodiac cancer. It is all-powerful in the signs of Taurus, and debilitated in the sign of Scorpio. Sun and mercury are moon`s beloved friends, while Rahu and Ketu are its eternal enemies. Moon is neutral to Jupiter, Mars, Venus and Saturn. Moon`s favourite color: white. Moon`s favourite day: Monday Moon`s favourite gemstone: pearl.

In Jyotish Shastra Moon sign, or the sign in which moon is placed at the time of birth is of utmost importance. The zodiac in which the moon is placed at the time of birth will determine the kind of energy imparted by this celestial body closest to earth. How Moon is a controller of your mental Attitude and Peace Dr. Shanker Adawal (Jyotishaacharya, PHD, MBA)

1. It is known and accepted by all that the Moon is "mind" (Chitta) and all emotional thinking, intelligence, sharp mind (brain), slow brain, Progressive in education and the mind behind new inventions are all attributable to the Moon. This takes to the astrological principles as to where the Moon was at the time of birth. The degree of the Moon in particular Nakshtra, its sign and houses all go to determine the mental balance of the native-thus goes the saying that the Moon if not well placed in the birth horoscope and aspected by malefics (the known malefic in astrology are Sun, Saturn, Mars, Rahu, Ketu and afflicted Mercurry – this apart the Sun is also considered to be a malefic) are capable of doing all harms including blindness, madness, mental imbalance, loss of mental peace loss of memory etc. 2. Mind (Chitta), all sorts of emotions, "manas" and "chitta", inclination, etc. all contribute for the mental peace. Well placed Moon and aspected by benefics (Jupiter, Venus, well placed Mercury) are capable of bestowing mental peace and the native may have no worry and would have sharp memory. Not only that, the Moon has been said to represent "Vaishya" (traders) because it is intimately connected with wealth and with business connections (transactions). Well placed including the exalted Moon (Moon exalts in Taurus) is capable of giving abundant wealth with a royal personality leading to mental peace (other things being equal). 3. The Moon is capable of giving advantageous and successful journeys (including overseas journey) and one of the astrological rules is that if you approach some person during the period of MoonMoon, even a strong willed person may yield to your wishes. For giving you the required mental peace, the Moon (beneficial Moon) is capable of giving you royal favour (being treated as VIPs) and improvement in prestige and honour is also indicated. 4. There will be no loss of material peace if the profession/business is taken/selected as per the planetary position in the horoscope. Trading in sea products, pearls, corn, clothes, cow, agriculture, grass, straw, medical profession, embassy (Massengers-modern courier services/communications), gold, timber (furniture merchant), silver, petrol, oil etc. is considered prosperous for the natives governed by beneficial Moon. According to Western astrology, the Moon is capable of giving all high position in trade and authority, prominent position in Government, it can make the native a Commander, a banker, nobleman, king, employer and also goldsmith. 5. The weak (afflicted) Moon may involve the native in inimical activities-thus disturbing his mental peace in the long run. It can give various diseases such as stomach trouble, emaciation,

consumption, T.B., dropsy and depending on the strength of the Mars, it can cause heart trouble also. Windy and phlegmatic diseases are also indicated. 6. Apart from being a female, the Moon represents all characteristics of being gentle, cool, beautiful and the native wearing white pearl gets the luster of the Moon adding to his mental peace. The Moon being a female factor also represents the "queen" – all speak of royalty and nobility. In modern times, the strong Moon may lead to acquisition of high status in life. The Moon in Aswini Nakshtra can produce Doctors/Engineers of the highest order. 7. White taking the Moon as controller of mental peace (which has to come from within the native), the placement of the Moon in its exaltation sign i.e. Taurus deserves special mention. The Moon is exalted in Taurus at 3 degrees (called deep exaltation point) and this degree-wise position falls in Kritika Nakshtra ruled by the Sun. Briefly, it is stated that the Moon exalts in the sign of Venus and in the Nakshtra of the Sun. Therefore, with regard to mental peace, if the Moon is in Taurus, role of three planets cannot be ignored. The Sun-the soul of all – "the atma" or the self, the Moon representing the highest state of mental attitude is provided by the luxurious planet Venus. This combination of the Moon provide for greater surroundings. For this state of mind, certain natives have been equated with "Brahma-Gyani" – the king among those who have faith in God. 8. Loss of mental peace is attributed by some so strained relations with mother and son. This is also, because of certain combinations specialy with Mars. Without dwelling further on this aspect, it would suffice to say that the Moon is "mother" and is enemy to none. 9. Personss with afflicted Moon may wear pearl, worship Maa Gauri, Lord Shiva and if desired, may also observe fast on Mondays. 10.

Role Of The Moon In Education All astrological texts and astrologers accept that the Moon, inter-alia, is Mind and the question for consideration in this small write-up is whether and to what extent education can be acquired by benefic or malefic Moon. At the same time, the involvement of major significators for education namely Jupiter and Mercury cannot be ruled out. Similarly certain signs and their lords play their parts. However, though total consideration of the horoscope may be needed but the discussion shall be confined to the specific question of the role played NATAL MOON in acquiring ‘Education'. What constitutes ‘education' for purposes of astrology would differ from native to native and in view of the modern times, astrology would cover education from primary to secondary, secondary to graduation and therefore graduation to post-graduation augmented by higher studies. At the same time it becomes inevitable to mention that' education' is a word of wide importance and taking the dictionary meaning into consideration, education stands for bringing up or training as of child, instruction, strengthening the powers of the body or mind. Further analysis would say that

education includes ‘culture',technical education, and cover various fields of Art, Music, Drama, Archaeology, Economic and Sanitary Science and Psychological healing. This apart, the word ‘education' has come to stay for the process of training and developing the knowledge, skill mind and covers normal schooling. However, education cannot be restricted to scholastic education only. It would cover all steps of learning apart from education through schools/colleagues and universities. Hence the need for mind (Moon) for any type of ‘learning education' would differ from native depending on the personal horoscope. The Moon in mind. The Moon represents ‘Chitta' or emotions of all sorts. The Moon represents the highest state of mind and learning in all kinds of liquids, including water and milk, is inter-alia, provided by the Moon (a watery planet). The requisite skill (education) to rule general public is governed by the Moon. In astrology, the Moon has also been treated as an eye, specially left eye and no education would be possible without proper eyesight, thus the Moon plays its role though in Modern times, even a blind-man can learn to read and write. The Moon in various signs and houses also influence the scope of education to be acquired by the native. Briefly, the Moon in Taurus makes the native intelligent (with or without proper schooling), the Moon in Gemini makes the native scholarly and learned, and intelligence is also conferred by the Moon in Virgo and Libra, though in Libra, the native would be of balanced mind, the moon in Sagittarius make the native well versed in literature and some natives may become authors and the Moon in Aquarius makes the native learned with power of institution. The internal darkness of the native dispelled by the rays of the Moon and is said to rule over the lives of the beings on the earth. All this amounts to self-realization and learning from within. Introspection is provided by the Moon. The Moon in the 1st house (Lagna) makes the native normally educated, the Moon in the second house though makes the natives intelligent but also stands fro ‘break in education',3rd house Moon make the native to possess good knowledge and thus become intelligent, the Moon in the 4th house enable the native to acquire high education, the Moon in the 4th house enables the native to acquire high education, the moon in the 5th house gives clarity to mind but also give interrupted education, some of the learned authors are of the view that even Moon in the 6th house makes the native intelligent, apart from giving success in all undertakings, the 10th house Moon makes the native intelligent and the Jupiter and Moon together makes the nature learned in ancient subjects and skilled in astrology. And finally, it has been seen that 12th house Moon would given eye-trouble, mental troubles thus compelling the native to have no education or less education. Now, about the main significators of Education. The known and accepted significators are Jupiter and Mercurry. For all education purposes, one looks for the placement of Jupiter and Mercurry. For all educational purposes, one look for the placement of Jupiter and Mercury. Apart from these significators, the houses to be considered for education are 4th, 2nd, 5th and 9th. For higher and higher education and Government awards, we look into the 11th house. However some of the writers have taken 10th house also as house of education. (10th house is one of the houses of educations). Without dwelling into controversy as to what extent 10th house is to be taken into account fro educational purposes, it would suffice to say that the main houses for education art 2, 4, 5 and 9. It would be relevant to day that apart from the consideration of ‘Lagna' and lagna lord' for basic characteristics (main is known by the company he keeps i.e. planets in lagna), a reference to the following houses for ‘education' of the native is inevitable though these houses tell about so many other things:

2nd house basic and primary education. 4th house main academic education specially upto Ten plus two or near about graduation if the field of education is diversified i.e. some diplomas etc. 4th house Graduation or near thereto. 9th house Post Graduation, and 11th house Higher education. The main point for consideration in the write-up is whether and to what extent the Moon plays its part in giving education in full, break in education, education by stages and slows, education while doing work (service or profession). Few aspects can be explained by the individual horoscopes to shoe that the Moon has definite role to play in the education of the native. In this horoscope (Chart No.1) the native played truant while in school, failed in matric during Rahu dasa but came up later with higher educational qualifications apparently with Moon in the 5th house though Jupiter is giving its 5th aspect on the 5th house with Saturn therein. Therefore, the Moon has its part to play. Mar, Ketu Sat Chart No. 1 Sun Moon Venus Rahu Lag Jup., Mar Sat Sun, Mer Ven, Mars, Ketu Jup Chart No. 2 Lag Rahu Moon In this case (Chart No.2) the native, a female teacher, had to work hard to acquire the education qualifications (M.Sc., B.Ed) though the 4this inter-alia, hemmed by malefics and the saver is Moon's aspect and the lord of 4th house goes to the 5th house. Saturn in the 3rd mad the native to learn while earning (service after Matric). This horoscope belongs to late Shri Ram Krishan Dalmia (Chart No. 3) noted industrialist Sun, Mer, Ven Jup, Rahu Mars Lag Chart No. 3 Moon Ketu Sat and from an earlier news-item (Hindustan times dated 10th March, 1993). It was known that he studied upto matriculation only though he came out to be an excellent speaker and writer of English, Hindi, and Bengali. Saturn in the 4th did its part but Moon's aspect on lagna apart from contributions

made by 10th house. Jupiter and Sun-Mercurry-Venus combination in 9th house. Role of Moon in education is well depicted. In this horoscope (Chart No. 4) the Moon is in the sixth house, thought he Moon is debilitated and is in inauspicious house, the native held the highest post, after having acquired high education, remained for a long time as Judge of the International court of Sun, Mar, Ven Sat Lag, Mars Rahu Chart No-4 Jup Ketu Moon Justice (the horoscope is of late Dr. Nagendta Singh). It would be seen that houses governing education don't speak much, on the face of them, but applying the astrological dicta (as planet debilitated or lord of these houses – 3, 6, 8 and 12 give greater results). The only point to be stressed was to say that even the debilitated Moon had its role in education of the native though the 10th house became very strong helping the native to acquire the highest education. Without multiplying the example, it would suffice to say that the MOON has definite role to play in Education as the Moon has to be taken into account while considering the houses governing education as well as the significators for education i.e. Jupiter and Mercury. It can be said that MOONS status is next to that of SUN. The factors influenced by the Moon enable the native to acquired high (higher) education followed by a high status. Taking the broad view of the term ‘education', the Moon stand for development of good behavior and ideas, pursuits for acquisition of money (education and intelligence), mental satisfaction, intuition and psychic perception, as a result of higher education to get personal recognition and achievements. Finally, a word about the horoscope of the learned astrologer Shri M.S. Sitharamiah (born in balance of Mars and died in Mahadasha of Venus, antra of Venus- Libra Lagna). This apart, the point for consideration is whether and to what extent the MOON contributed to his educational qualifications. On analysis, Lagna lord Venus is in 7th with Saturn and Rahu having aspect of Ketu with Jupiter (R) and at the same time Venus is aspecting its own house. 2nd lord Mars is in 4th and 6th lord Saturn in 8th as indicated above. The MOON is in the 5th house having aspect of Jupiter and thus contributing to the acquired education of the native. Further, the 10th lord Moon placed in 5th house having aspect of Jupiter indicated the known profession of journalist and astrologer. In Navamsha, the 11th house becomes strong; further, the Moon becomes the major contribution for education in Navamsha being in lagna through in the house of Mars aspecting the 11th house along with Saturn. To sum up, Mercurry of the native did not contribute much for education being in the 6th house along with Sun which leads to all afflictions and the native becomes prone to certain evils which do not appear to be the case with the native. However Saturn-Venus combination in the 11th house in the Navamsha with unaffiliated Moon made the native highly meritorious, highly learned, and famous skilful in speech and dear to the people. However, Balbhadra has stated for combination of Venus-Saturn in the 9th house that the native may be serene in disposition and be resolute. In view of the above, it cab summed up that the MOON has definite role to play in the education of any native and the principles enunciated above duly and sully apply to the horoscope of Late Shri M.S. Sitharamiah. It may be stated that the other factor are also to be considered before we arrive

at some conclusion. Here I have tried to give my observation that the MOON also plays vital role for education achievements. Indian astrology describes the Moon rules over the lives Mythology: Indian astrology describes Moon is considered to be the Virgin Mary of the Roman Catholics and nourishing mother of the heaven. She is the Luna (Diana). She is the queen of the night. Diana is the twin sister of Apollo. She is the goddess and also a huntress. She governs chastity as well as fertility. So is the daughter of Leo and Zeus and she is called by Artemis by Greeks. That is why, it is said, that the Sun gives the spirit and life to all the planets and the Moon rules over the lives of the beings on earth Sun represents individuality whereas Moon shows one's personality. Moon also represents the mother of a person born by night. Sun is masculine and Moon is feminine. Hence the person born under the ruler ship of Moon is feminine. Hence the person born under the ruler ship of Moon becomes timid, vacillating, receptive and convertible. Sun is a fiery planet whereas Moon is a watery one; hence Moon is a fruitful planet. Indian astrology conceded the truth of universe Moon moves daily around 13 degrees on an average and whenever it passes the sign Taurus, it is very strong. It gets very weak and debilitated when it transits in the sign Scorpio or Vrischika. Moon governs over the impregnation, conception, birth of child, the animal instinct the union and the embryo. It also rules the infant stage of a person and it has a powerful influence on the lives. Affected moon at the time of birth causes ailment frequently and does not allow one to have proper growth. Stomach will be upset and frequent vomiting reduces vitality. The effect of the Moon depends on the relative disposition of other planets the aspect which Moon receives is the integral part of Indian astrology, the sign which it occupies etc., at the time of one's birth. Moon is a cold planet; Affected Moon often causes cold and fever. Its characteristic is changeability. Hence its influence is often unsettling. If one is in service his desire will be to have frequent changes. He will not continue to live in the same premises. Under some pretext or other, there will be change of residence, frequently. Even in his room, he will be arranging and rearranging his books. He will change the position of furniture, the curtain cloth, table etc. unless stern forms favorable aspect, he cannot be steady. Does not the Moon appear different on different days? One day it appears as the full Moon. In a week's time it is only half; a week later it is not to be seen. Again daily it waxes and moves fast appearing every in the midst of different constellations. Thus people born, with moon as their ruling planet will ever be unsettled, wavering and vacillating. Moon representing the mother and owning the fourth house indicates that the person will love his country and his home. Moon is called 'mathi', the mind. Mercury governs intelligence. Good aspects between moon and Mercury give the native fertile imagination, deep feelings, emotion etc. Adverse aspects offer indecision, lack of mental balance, a desire to lie and spread false rum ours and suffering from overanxiety. Indian astrology concluded Moon, receiving good aspect from Venus, develops in the native a taste for music, art, painting, scented, keen imagination and love for all pleasurable pursuits. Evil aspects protend inconstancy with lady friends, female relatives etc. Excesses cause digestive troubles.Moon, and mars, when favorably disposed, offers extreme liberality and frank mature. One will be bold and inclined to make frequent journeys which will prove to be profitable. Adverse aspects indicate that the person will be impulsive, rash and reckless and will develop strong attractions to the opposite sex causing lit develop strong attractions to the opposite sex causing ill-health and bringing ill-

reputation. These two planets govern the mouthy course the ladies. Good aspects are fruitful. But evil aspects case much of pain and other troubles connected with menstruation. Jupiter and moon in favorable aspects gives magnanimous ideas, hopeful disposition, good imagination ad optimism. But if the aspects are bad, the native will be reckless and extravagant. In Indian astrology Moon is the mother In Indian astrology, Moon and sun are generally mentioned as planets although neither is a planet although neither is a planet in the strict dictionary sense. Moon is the planet nearest to the Earth. It is the only planet in the solar system revolving round and round the earth. Sun is said to be generator of power whereas Moon is considered as the conductor of power lent by sun. Only one half Moon receives light from Sun and this portion alone gets illuminated at any one time. Moon shines only by the reflected light of the sun. The rays of the sun reflected by the Moon dispel the darkness of the night on earth just in the same manner as light reflected from a mirror placed in the sun removes the darkness inside the house. Therefore the nature of Moonlight is the same as that of Sunlight but it is not self-luminous. The distance between the Earth and Moon is approximately 2, 38,000 miles. It moves round the earth which revolves round the sun. Indian astrology describes obviously about lunar eclipse with example, Suppose a child holds the hand of its mother, the child goes around her rapidly. But the mother with child makes a big round, around a lighthouse. The child will be on some occasion, in between the mother and the lighthouse. One some occasion, the mother will be between the child and the lighthouse. When the child is in the line joining the mother and the lighthouse, the mother cannot see the lighthouse. In this manner, the solar eclipse is caused. But if the mother is in between the child and the lighthouse in the same joining line the mother prevents the light from falling on the child. That is, the earth is in between moon and sun and moon does not perceive light from the Sun. Thus Lunar eclipse is caused; Eclipses are formed in this manner, whenever all the three are in one line. The moon is small in size. The diameter of the Earth is approximately 7,800 miles whereas that of the moon is only 2,200 miles. From beginning Indian astrology studied no water is said to be found in the moon. But at the time of the full Moon we notice the tides rise even as high as 40 feet. Actually the ebb and tide of the oceans are caused by the influence of Moon on earth. The importance of Moon in the birth chart By S N Rao

The Moon is in a new constellation every couple of days, and its location on the Zodiacal wheel at the moment of your birth is your Moon sign. The Moon's position when you were born sheds light on the interior life of a person. The Moon in a chart can explain why two people with the same Sun sign can be so different. The Moon's sign, house and phase can tell you a lot about the person's emotional instincts and habits. While the Sun is the core self through which you find expression in the world, the Moon is the inner life that only close companions get to experience. In astrology, the Moon is the instinctual self, and because of that, some might not feel comfortable with its full expression. In times of great stress, these qualities could be exposed and make the person feel strangely out of control. If you’ve ever completely lost it, you’ll know what it's like when the Sun is eclipsed by the Moon and you become a full-fledged “lunatic.” But in daily life, the Moon is what you fall back on to restore your sense of emotional security. It’s the little private habits that are comforting. For some this means reaching out socially, but for others this could mean retreating to a

solitary corner of the mind. It also speaks volumes about how you handle your intimate life. Some Moons have a detached air, while others cast a welcoming luminescent glow. A key relationship in astrology is that between the Sun and the Moon. If someone has an ongoing tug-of-war between the will to act and the emotions, it often shows up there. When you understand the essence of the Moon, you’re no longer “in the dark.” This is valuable information for understanding the interior life of family members, friends and of course, potential romantic partners. The Moon represents the more impressionist side and the inner feelings and emotions portraying us from within. It indicates how we express our nurturing instinct and the style of immediate emotional-feeling response to experiences. With an altogether mysterious side, Moon shows our hidden aspects. The moon can symbolize the mother, your mother, your own parenting style. The moon loosely represents the feminine and more pointedly how we feel. So it’s no surprise that it is a representative of how we feel about the parenting we experienced as children. How we feel in general shapes how we feel about everything. Saturn with moon is going to feel differently than Jupiter with moon. Similarly a 7th house moon will have a different experience than a 12th house moon. Someone who grew up in your place, someone with a different chart, a different moon, would likely feel very differently about experiencing the same household. There’s still the question, which is more important nature or nurture? I think it’s both. Imagine this, the household is the same but the kid is different. People are going to react differently to a different kid. Their experience will be similar but not the same. The reactions set off a chain of new circumstances. Our environments shape us and we shape our environments. This is of particular use when you look at this from the parenting side of the equation. Look at your child’s moon to see how they emotionally perceive the parenting they are receiving. Having a greater understanding of their emotional body gives you a better base for empathy in your reactions. This is particularly helpful if your moon is not in sympathetic aspect to theirs. When you understand where your child is coming from emotionally and react based on empathy (how THEY feel), you raise the quality of your child’s interaction with their emotional environment. You improve the odds of your child growing up with the perception of having had a happy childhood. The Moon goes through the Zodiac within its 28 day cycle and enters a new zodiac sign approximately every 2 1/2 days. The position of the transiting moon (moon's current position) helps determine the general moods of people. The moon sign positions greatly influence the outcomes of events involving human interactions. When the Moon is in certain zodiac, the characteristics of that zodiac sign color the moon's expression. The moon rules over issues related to family and interaction among family members, social gatherings and general proceedings in the home environment. All the above incidents are greatly affected by moon's sign position. The moon sign, when taken in combination with the Sun sign, tells about a person and is an essential part of learning about oneself. The best way to find out about the moon sign is to visit an astrologer for a private reading. Moon - Chandra Planet in Vedic Astrology According to Indian Vedic astrology, Moon is concerned as a queen of planetary system. Moon is SATVIK, watery, and VAISHYA. It is also called INDU. The symbol of Moon is double concave lines. It reflects the combined effect of Sun and Earth. Moon has an auspicious appearance. Her eyes are beautiful. She has mellifluous voice. She is fair in complexion, has an emaciated body, is youthful, tall, curly and short hair, is learned, soft, of SATVIK

disposition, beautiful, phlegmatic, amicable to friends, has pure (excellent) blood, is kind, fond of old ladies, fickle-minded, very fortunate and wears clean apparels. Moon is Karaka of :- Moon is karaka planet of Mother, Mind, MANA, MOOLA, emotions, beauty, grace, water, watery products, watery animals, milk, perfumes and she is connected with all activities, which are based on water liquid. When Moon is Strong in Horoscope: If, Moon is in exalted position, placed over the angle or trine and aspected or conjoined by natural benefic planets over the natal chart, she bestow happiness from mother, beauty, good health especially in childhood, sensitivity, emotional, maturity, wealthy, receptive, popularity, creativity, imaginations and artistic. When Moon is Afflicted in Horoscope If, Moon is debilitated, conjoined or aspected by malefic and natural cruel or enemy planets, native may suffered due to sickness in childhood, trouble to mother, unlucky generally, psychological disturbance, moody, timidity, ill placed & malefic Moon is found in the criminals, insane and lunatics and neurotics. The Moon in Astrology by Gomathi Annapoorni The Moon is so important in Astrology that, it is said, the sign occupied by Moon may be treated as Lagna, called Chandra-lagna and predictions made, accordingly. The Jathaka Tatwa says: If lords of 9 and 10 from Lagna or from Moon associate, there is Rajayoga. The rule is, if lagna is not with or aspected by a benefic or by its lord, and if Lord of Lagna is weak, but Chandra is strong, then Chandra-lagna may be preferred. And above 30 or 32, Chandra-lagna is deemed more important. Why? Even from the time of delivery, the Moon is important. Moon in a good place and well aspected is important for safe and easy delivery. A good and strong Moon is said to resist and avert Balarishta. This planet is nearest the earth, which we occupy; and so, presumably, exerts the greatest influence on us. It is a watery planet, and like water, it is most potential, good or evil. It represents “mind, mother (in night-birth especially, and affluence”. Chandra is strong in Kataka or Cancer, her own house, in Vrishabha or Taurus, in her exaltation in Virgotamamsa, and in 4. She is very strong in Cancer, as, then, she would be also in her element, a watery planet being in a watery sign. It is a mistake to suppose that the efficacy of a planet, being in his element, was discovered by Westerners. For Phaladeepika attributes to Moon in Pisces or Meena, a watery sign aspected by a benefic, especially by Jupiter in exaltation, say, a Rajayoga (See Chapter VII), Chandra in 4, 5, 7 or 9 or 10 aspected by good and strong Jupiter or Venus makes a native kingly. The rule that Chandra is better in a kendra or kona, other than Lagna, has got two exceptions: (1) when Moon is in Lagna in Taurus, as in the chart of Lord Sri Krishna, and (2) when Moon is in Lagna in Cancer, as in the case of Sri Rama, with Jupiter in Cancer, especially. The golden planet Jupiter, and the coldplanet Moon, combining in Cancer, is a first class yoga, conducing to general knowledge, prosperity and position, especially when the Lagna is Pisces or Aries or Cancer. Naturally, the yoga is rare indeed. They may combine in Cancer; but the Lagna may not be such that they both own good houses. Sarvartha Chintamani says: Full Moon in a kendra and aspected by a benefic like good Jupiter or Venus, gives one prosperity and Rajayoga, and also a pure reputation. Jataka Parijata says that “if Full Moon is in 10 aspected by a benefic, the native becomes a King”. It also says: “If Moon is strong and full, it makes one a victorious king, even single-handed.

Of course, I must say that, Saravali requires benefic aspect for Moon, for those born in a family other than a Royal Family.Phaladeepika, in Chapter VII, gives a number of Rajayogas on account of Moon. It says, if Moon is full and radiant in a Kendra 4, 7 or 10 and is aspected by a planet in oocha or swakshetra even a hunter (i.e., low-born) becomes a king. It also says, Moon in Meena and well-aspected, is excellent; and it is found in practice, that Moon in Pisces and Jupiter in Cancer, with a good exchange of houses between them and Jupiter aspecting Moon does give Rajayoga and prosperity, even Moon is combined with Mars and Saturn. For, then, the malefics tell Jupiter. The reason is, Mars like Jupiter is a Yogakaraka for Meena Rasi; and Chandra-Mangala Yoga is good for prosperity, though bad for mother and peace of mind. But, Moon-Saturn conjunction or opposition is mostly very bad, like Moon-Ketu conjunction. But when Moon exchanges places with Jupiter, whose house he occupies, and aspected by that Jupiter, the good, due to Jupiter and Moonassociation, overrides the evil due to Moon and Saturn. There is a picturesque sloka of Sri Mandavya, which says that “when Moon is full, and in a Rasi other than Scorpio (where she will be debilitated) and is aspected by Jupiter, then a native, who is very famous, is born. The fame is such that it is like the fame of the dark (neelameghashyamala) Vishnu, who became so white by his fame that His consort, Lakshmi, who came near Him withdrew modestly, doubting if it was the white Lord Siva, the husband of her Lord’s sister! The texts emphasize the strength due to Kalas for Moon. She must have more than 10 out of 16 Kalas to be deemed to be full Moon. Moon is said to be full, for astrological purposes between the 10th of the bright fortnight and 5th of the dark half of the month. For mental happiness, Moon is all important, and with mental worry, even a sturdy person of good physique will get reduced; for, worry, not work, kill a man. Of course, one can wax eloquent about full Moon, being aspected by good Jupiter or Venus, more, for a night birth. If Moon is aspected by Jupiter or Venus who is not in Neecha or Maudhya (i.e., combustion by the Sun), or if Moon is in a kendra(quadrant) from Jupiter, there is Gajakesari Yoga, conducive to good intellect, longevity and popularity and fame. That is why some Telugu writers have gone to the extent of praising Moon and Jupiter in opposition (180°) even more than the two planets in conjunction. Of course, Jupiter and Moon in Cancer in Lagna or in 4, is a great exception, to their theory. But, I should point out that when Jupiter and Moon are combined, the former is stronger due to Samagama strength, whereas, when they are in opposition, Moon is stronger as she is not only in a kendra (7) from Jupiter, but also enjoys the benefic aspect of Jupiter. When Moon and Jupiter—both own good houses from Lagna and are in good places from Lagna, Gajakesari Yoga is a very powerful yoga, to reckon with. Even for Libra, it is a fairly good yoga, especially when they are in Capricorn in 4 with Guru in Neecha. For Pisces, Aries and for Cancer, it is positively a very good Yoga. If the three natural benefics, Guru, Sukra and Budha are in 6, 7 and 8 from Moon there is Chandradhiyoga. If three natural benefics are in 3, 6, 10 and 11 from Lagna, or next to it only, from Moon, there is Vasumati Yoga, giving one riches, and canceling poverty. One word about Moon as lord of 6 or 8. It is said that the lordship of 8 does not affect Sun or Moon, who are the King and Queen of the planetary hierarchy. The dosha (affliction) does not make them marakas or killers; that is all. But as the learned author of theUttara Kalamrita has pointed out, they don’t kill but they do give trouble. Of course, Moon as lord of 8 for Sagittarius is not so bad, as Moon and Jupiter are friendly. But from my experience, I would dawn the Sun for Makara Lagna or Capricorn, a bitter enemy of Saturn,

the Lagnadhipathi, as baneful indeed. Moon’s ideal place for Aquarius Ascendant is 3, or in Neecha. Then, lordship of 6 is minimized, and at the same time the karakathwam of Moon is safe and protected, and not weakened as in 8 or 12. If Moon and Jupiter combine for an Aquarius native there will be fair prosperity, with, however, the pinpricks, due to the strength of lord of 6. New Moon is a dire malefic, just as Full Moon is a first-rate benefic. In fact, according to a Tamil text, New Moon is considered to be even worse than Saturn. Such New Moon, for instance, if placed in the 5th house, especially as lord of a bad house like 6 or 8, will cause putradosha, and will give abdominal pain and pain in the womb to the native’s wife for a long time after a delivery. It might also cause painful abortions. Such New Moon who is deemed a malefic or papi, is best in 3, 6 or 11. If New Moon is lord of 6 or 8 and strong in any kendra or kona, unredeemed by any benefic aspect especially by good and strong Jupiter or Venus, or, if the New Moon is weak, say in 8 and in Neecha, as lord of 4, she is found to cause tuberculosis or diabetes in his dasa. If the dasa does not run or transpire in the life of the native, the evil won’t be present, or if there is Juiter’s powerful aspect, then also the evil will be minimized or there will be a cure. A bad Moon will cause diseases due to cold, due to mental feebleness and financial debility, just as Full Moon, enjoying Jupiter’s benefic aspect especially will give a brilliant mind, good health, financial prosperity, and popularity as well. Moon represents left eyes and also Gowri or Shakthi who is left half of Lord Siva. Parasara attributes good name and fame to Full Moon in 10. There is also success or karyasiddhi, according to Saravali. There will be Raja-yoga if such Moon is aspected by Venus, or preferably by Jupiter, and also devotion to Parashakthi. The dasas, or periods are determined by the star occupied by Moon; and unless good dasas transpire or seen in one’s life, one can’t be lucky. The strength of Moon is the basis for the strength of all planets (See Phaladeepika). So, the Moon is all important in astrology. For, is not Siva-Sakti All-Powerful?

The Mystical Moon by Chakrapani Ullal

Chandra, the mystical Moon, is the most mysterious of all the planets. Its significance is considered first and foremost by the Vedic Astrologer. It acts as our gateway to the world. It determines how our minds receive and interpret the various experiences of life and, thus, influences how we will choose to act and react in the day to day circumstances of our lives. Ruling the 4th house of the zodiac, the Moon is universally associated with the mother. It is a female sign and glows with a pristine light. The Moon can make a person a saint or a sinner, a king or a pauper, a brilliant poet and artist or a complete lunatic. It is an indicator for all the mundane matters which one can conceive. The Moon is the agent of the mind and emotions, the means by which we perceive the world and everything in it. Its placement and its disposition to the other planets reveal a great deal about the native, his overall temperament, the character of his perceptions and the nature of his/her relationship to others. The Moon acts as a transmitter of energies for the various other planets and is therefore easily influenced by them. It can bring both blessings and hardships. The Moon represents the pull of our past habits and memories, our mental ability, the attitude of our conscious and sub-conscious mind. The Moon’s disposition in the chart reveals the innermost workings of our minds. It rules our likes and dislikes, our happiness and unhappiness. It plays a major role in shaping all the activities of life from birth to death. Being so near to the earth, the Moon is influenced by the Earth’s magnetic pull. When the Moon is

strong in a chart, the other planets will carry their strength from the Moon. When the Moon is weak, the planets in the chart cannot manifest their true potency. The stronger the Moon, the stronger the chart. The weaker the Moon, the weaker the chart. It is this profound influence on the other planets that makes the Moon a key factor in evaluating a chart. Hundreds of mythological stories surround the Moon. It is called by such names, such as Sudakara, Sudadhara, Amrita-soo and Amerita, amongst others. These names all refer to the life giving energy of the Moon. Puranic mythology also calls it Sumudra. In the ancient text Navaneeta, we find mythological stories with explanations about the creation of the Moon as well as reasons for its physical manifestations on earth and the nature of its influence in our lives. In one story it is said that, long ago, when the Asuras (demons) and Devas (gods) churned the Ocean of Milk, the churning caused the Moon to come out of the ocean along with Amrita or divine nectar. It is said that when drunk this divine nectar can make a person immortal. There is another story found in the Agni Purana that accounts for the birth of the Moon. Long ago, the Sage Atri performed tapas or intense spiritual practices to initiate the creation of life. After a thousand years, the Moon was born out of his eye. At that time, no one was able to hold the Moon so the Moon fell toward the Earth. Later, Brahma the Creator himself held the Moon on his chariot with the intention of populating the world. Brahma carried the Moon 21 times around the earth and, as a result, life began to sprout. Another story says that the Moon once had an affair with Jupiter’s wife, Tara, who gave birth to Mercury as a result. Because of these events, Mercury (the illegitimate son of the Moon) regards the Moon as his enemy and sometimes affects the Moon in negative ways. The crescent Moon on Lord Shiva’s forehead suggests that if one worships the deity properly he will fulfill all desires. In the Yoga Sutras, the Chandra Nadi, the energy channel in the body that carries divine energy, corresponds to the Chandra Mandala or Lunar realm. It is said that accomplished yogis, through practice, enjoy the bliss of Amrita (divine nectar) that descends from this area of the body. Ayurvedic texts also mention that all medical herbs receive their potency from the Moon. Another myth says that Brahma the creator, who is also known as Prajapati, had 27 daughters. All of them married the Moon. Of all the daughters, the Moon loved Rohini the most and wanted only to stay with her. This preference for Rohini caused anger and jealousy to arise amongst the other 26 wives who then complained to their father. In response, Prajapati cursed the Moon to suffer from Kshya or consumption and cause it to wax and wane monthly. Eventually, the Ashwinikumars – the mythical doctors of the universe) removed the Moon’s Kshya affliction, however it is still required to wax and wane even to this day. The Moon’s visitation to each of his 27 wives is the basis for the lunar system of Vedic Astrology – these 27 wives are represented by the Nakshatras. The Mystical Moon (Part II) Regarding the nature of the Moon, it is considered to be both the Queen of the heavens as well as the giver of life. It is feminine in nature, of the Vaishya class very learned and knowledgeable, and has a vacillating nature. It is soft, beautiful and very pleasing to behold, pleasant in conversation, round bodied, full of flesh, and has attractive eyes. It is the fastest moving planet and has the nature of one who is always in a hurry and has a fluctuating mind. It indicates one who is easy going, natural looking, attracted to worldly happiness, over-confident, possessed of a wild imagination, & generous hearted. The Moon is watery in nature. Its residence is the ocean, river, tanks, wells, etc. Water is its deity

(what does that mean?) and the Moon controls the water. The Moon's rasa or taste is both sweet and salty and it likes rice. Its gem is the Pearl, which is created by oysters who live in the water. The Moon's metal is silver and its color is white. The Moon rules the left eye and the Sun rules the right eye. The Moon is also the indicator for blood in the body, emotions, clothes, water, business, wealth coming through women, milk, cows, cereal, rice, gemstones, shankha, water born products like pearls, the white umbrella (a special type), chamara (court attendants), the spirit, physical energy, food, happiness, and personal radiance. In a females, the Moon represents breasts, ovaries and uterus associated with the function of motherhood. The Moon is Sattvic and its body humour is both vata & kapha. Its direction is North-West. General Indications: The Moon's influence is stronger when it is waxing, and large in the sky. I gives added strength to the chart when it is placed in the rising sign, located in kendra or angle houses, well aspected by benefics, or when placed in friendly signs. Its positive effects are felt most powerfully in water signs, next in strength in the air signs, and weakest is placement in the earth signs, especially in Virgo. It is in harmonious condition when placed in the fire signs. The Moon possesses moderate strength during the first ten days of the Lunar month, which begins with the first day of its bright phase. Over the next ten days, as it approaches toward fullness and also for the five days following thereafter, the Moon yields its maximum strength. For the time period that begins on the sixth day of the waning until two days before the New Moon, it possesses less power. This does not, however, mean that the Moon is absolutely weak. Lunar weakness only occurs on the New Moon and on the day preceding the New Moon. However, it rarely weakens to the extent that it actually becomes a malefic. The days of the Full Moon and the New Moon are said to be full of possibilities for either good or evil. The waxing and waning of the Moon profoundly affects our minds. People who suffer from mental illness, for example, will experience dramatic ups and downs in their mental condition according to its waning and waxing. The aspects of Jupiter and the other benefics support the Moon greatly. For correct assessment of a chart, it is important that one studies it from the Chandra Lagna (the sign where the Moon is placed). When the correct birth time is not available, Indian astrologers can cast an individual's horoscope using the Moon's placement as the Lagna. 90% of the time, transit results are interpreted using the Moon as the ascendant. The Moon also figures prominently when analyzing horoscopes for compatibility in the various aspects of human relationships. The Moon plays a very strong role in Muhurta, which is the process of choosing the most auspicious times for both spiritual and mundane activities including weddings. Almost all Indians choose their children's names according to the Lunar Rasi (Moon's sign) and Nakshatra. It also plays a dominant role in the Dasha system used for predictive astrology. Psychology A good astrologer can determine a great deal about the psychological and mental health of the individual by evaluating the position of the Moon in the chart. If parents have an insight into the mental orientation of their children, it will benefit them a great deal in bringing them up to their best advantage encouraging and supporting their strengths, and watching carefully their areas of weakness to give encouragement or extra education where needed. It also can help teachers to know their students, business people to know their colleagues and

employees, etc. The Moon rules our non-rational sensitive faculties, while Mercury indicates discriminative intellect. The relationship between the Moon and Mercury indicates the nature of our psyche. When Mercury and the Moon are placed in angle houses, the native may be vacillating, moody, and lack a sense of responsibility for actions taken. Understanding the nature of someone's mind, even in broad strokes, can be enormously helpful; although, like anything else, a little bit of information can be a dangerous thing if placed in the hands of the indiscriminate. One must attempt to use the information as a guide or tool, but not let it determine one's own opinions about someone or destroy the natural intercourse and spontaneity of getting to know someone through one's own experience with them. The Moon The Moon represents the mind and the emotions and therefore plays a big part in describing the person as a whole. The stronger the Moon, the better chance the native will have a happier life. If the Moon is bright, (ie. opposite the Sun although the general rule of thumb is the further from the Sun, the better, particularly where the Moon is more than 90 degrees away), then the person will tend to stand out in a crowd or have a more pleasing manner about them. A Moon in the first house often confers this quality and can make the native physically attractive. A Moon associated with Jupiter is usually good for success and can make the native generous, and interested in following society's conventions. A Moon with the nodes, Rahu and Ketu, on the other hand, can make the native unconventional and in some cases, mentally unbalanced. More generally, the Moon associated with the nodes will make a person sensitive and perceptive to the people around them. The Moon is dussthana houses (ie 6th, 8th, 12th) will generally make the native shy or retiring and will often make them prefer their own company. Aspects to the Moon are also important, as is the Moon's dispositor (ie. the ruler of the sign the Moon is placed in). Moon is related to your sex Life O my God, You are looking too sexy!” “Yes, She has great sex appeal” Such comments are quite common particularly about a lot of film actors and actresses. What is sex appeal? It is natural sexual attractiveness which is the natural ability of a person to attract sexual or erotic interests of a person of opposite gender. The planet Moon has lot to do with the sex appeal of an individual so in this regard the natal Moon reveals such information. Moon’s Magic in Birth Chart of Film Stars … Astrological analysis is possible only if reliable birth data is available. The charts of some famous Bollywoodstars of recent past such as MeenaKumari, Sharmila Tagore, Mumtaj, Dharmendra and Rajesh Khanna, whose birth data is available, reveal the role of Moon in their sexual attractiveness and appeal. In MeenaKumari’s chart Moon is in Cancer sign and constellation of Jupiter. In Sharmila’s chartMoon is with Jupiter in Virgo sign and Constellation of Sun. Who is unaware of comely Mumtaj’s sexual charm, in her chart Moon is with Venusin Leo sign and constellation of Venus. Dharmendra has ruled the Indian cinema with his special X-factor and in his chart Moon is in the constellation of Venus. And lastly the stylish male sex symbol of the golden era Rajesh Kahanna has Moon in the sign and constellation of Sun.

Moon’s Astrological Significations … Astrology regards the Moon as a full-fledged planet. And it is the only planet out of the seven which is easily visible in the night sky. Moon’s mean distance from the Earth is about 385,000 Km. and it circles around the earth in 27 days 7 hours and about 43 minutes. In Vedic astrology the Moon signifies Mind, Mother, Milk, feelings, emotions, fancies, moods, imagination, left eye, feminine qualities, breasts, stomach, womb, childhood, polite-manners, sensitivity, water, SatvaGuna ,romance etc It is the lord of the Cancer sign and owns three constellations (Nakshatras) namely; 1. Rohini which extends from100 to 230:20? of Taurus sign 2. Hasta which extends from 100 to 230:20? of Virgo sign 3. Shravan which extends from 100 to 230:20? of Capricorn sign. The Nature of Moon … In its positive aspects Moon is a sober, polite and cool planet. Moon has enmity only with its North Node viz. Rahu. It considers Sun and Mercury as its best friends and is neutral towards Mars, Saturn, Jupiter and Venus. Moon and Sexual Satisfaction … Position of Moon in a horoscope can reveal a lot about sex appeal and sexual satisfaction of that person. Moon plays important role in this regard. Sexual satisfaction has a lot to do with mental attitude for which Moon is responsible.A well placed and strong Moon free from afflictions is an asset in regard to enjoying a balanced sex life. Effect of Moon under different Zodiacal Signs on SexualAttitude and Traits … In a horoscope Moon like any other planet can be either under positive influence or negative influence, depending upon its placement, lordship, conjunction with other planets and good or bad aspects from other planets. Table below indicates some most prominent sexual effects of Moon by placement in different zodiacal signs: Zodiac Sign Moon under Positive Influence Moon under Negative Influence ARIES Likes complete surrender of partner in sex Impatient in sex act TAURUS Sex Appeal and general Attractiveness, Very selective in sexual matters likes sex GEMINI Easily attracted to opposite sex Lacks self confidence in proposing CANCER Great sex appeal and Charm Sudden change in mood spoils the game LEO Charming and bold to propose May think pros and cons and cool it down VIRGO Charming but modest in approach Many friends of opposite sex LIBRA Enjoys satisfying sex Chances of being deceived in relations SCORPIO Very frank and may propose openly Lack of Sexual excitement SAGGITARIUS No extra marital sex interests Gives impatience in sexual matters CAPRICORN May take care of own selfish interests Loose morals only AQUARIUS Sensual, enjoys sex May take even casual affairs very emotionally PISCES Likes adventurous sex Loose sexual morals

Worshipping Moon … If in your horoscope the Moon is afflicted due to association with malefic planets then you may suffer due to its ill effects. A strong and clear mind helps a person in overcoming many physical problems in life. On the other hand a week or afflicted Moon gives unstable, confused and sorrowful mind. One may suffer from fluctuations in mood, low sex desire and poor sex appeal. By worshipping the Moon deity one can mitigate the ill effects. The worship (Pooja) for better results needs to be conducted properly. And by getting the Pooja performed in a systematic manner and at some famous hallowed temple carries further benefits. One such temple dedicated to the Chandra Deity called Thingai in Tamil language is the Kailasanatha Temple located at Tingaloor near Thanjavur in Tamilnadu state of India. The Sun is life and Moon the life’s force. With this astrological hypothesis, we take you on a long journey starting with the creation of the Moon billions of years ago. This bright object, with waning and waxing phases, has fascinated all, perhaps every living creature from ancient times. Humankind could visit it only now- 42 years ago, after billions of years of evaluation from the earth. It was described by the first visitors as a desert land with nothing to greet them. The discovery of ice on the Moon by an Indian mission long after, last year, was termed as the biggest discovery of the century. The Dream Moon is more endearing. The beauty and the changing size of the Moon have been aweinspiring, passionately captured by poets and painters on earth from times immemorial. Every child has perhaps played hide and seek with the Moon. It has been associated with changing moods of young maidens, sensuousness and sensuality. Astrological classic Phaldeepika, too, mentions Moon as the significator of beauty. The poetic description of moonlit nights that feast the senses has brought joy for many moons. Perhaps, the better utilized is the astrological Moon: it represents the gushing blood that causes turbulence inside you and makes you lively - churning life’s force. It also represents the mind. In a man’s journey from birth to death it is the Moon (mind) which eclipses the Sun (atma) and rules life. It is the mind – heart combo (thinking and emotion) that dominates with immortal atma taking the back seat. Moon is movement. Moon, as the fastest moving 'planet' represents rapid change in astrology. It moves from a charan (3 degrees 20 minutes portion of the 360 degree zodiac circle) to another in hours, a nakshatra (13 degree 20 minutes portion) to the next in a day and from one Rashi (30 degrees) to the other. It covers the whole zodiac circle comprising of 12 rashis, 27 nakshatras and 108 charans in just 27 days. In the Yaksha Prashna of Mahabharata, the Yaksha asks Yudhishter ‘What is faster than wind? And what is more numerous than grass?' The answer was that the mind is faster than wind and thoughts are more numerous than grass. An afflicted Moon could mean faster changing moods and instability and an exalted Moon or unafflicted Moon some amount of stability, determination and an appreciation of the beauty of life. Irrespective of its positioning, it is difficult to control it. Moon exalts in the fixed sign of Venus, Taurus and is said to be weaker in its own sign Cancer for Cancer is a moveable sign. The mythological Moon. Sage Atri, one of 7 manas putras (children of mind) of the creator Lord Brahma wished to have Moon as his son. So he prayed for a long time to get his wish fulfilled. So intensely did sage Atri concentrate on the Moon God that his body became Moon like. Moon like creations flowed out of his eyes. These were accepted by the ten dishas (directions) to be nurtured

in their wombs and give birth on completion of the conception period. The Moon like creation could, however, not be retained by them and it fell on the Earth. This was the cool and lustrous Moon. Lord Brahma picked up the fallen Moon. The Moon, a premature baby was weak. Brahma put this weak child on his chariot and directed the manas putras to strengthen the ten directions (dishas) by chanting Vedic hymns. Moon was thus given a lease of life. The Moon while orbiting the Earth, dropped seeds for the herb and medicinal plants. These seeds were to sprout and become preserving plants for all types of living beings. Brahma conferred on Moon the lordship of the seeds, herbs, water and the Brahmins. In astrology this legend is used to understand some intriguing facets of the behavior of the Moon. Moon, when weak in a horoscope, can be strengthened by the chanting of proper mantras. Moon was married to the daughters of Daksha Prajapati. They are 27 in number in our mythology. They are named after the 27 nakshatras of the zodiac. Moon committed two major indiscretions. He showed Rohini, one of the 27 wives, undue favour. He ran away with the wife of Brihaspathi (Jupiter).These indiscretions were handled in divine ays. Daksha the father-in- law cursed Moon to suffer from consumption, a gradual decay. The Hindi name clarifies it better “Kshaya”. The Moon wanes gradually, decaying each day till it is totally helpless on the amavasya (moonless) day. Moon abducted the wife of the Devguru Brihaspathi (Jupiter). Her name was Tara. This deed was perpetrated by the Moon on a Chaturthi day (4th thithi) of Bhadra month on the shukla paksha. This is ‘chaturth ka chaand’ which is to be avoided for acts of importance. The legend, for the generations to come, says that on this day Moon must not be looked at. Looking at the Moon on this day is likely to induce improper thoughts and cause the mind to get into a fallen state. The legend very pithily and correctly points out that in a fallen state the mind is capable of committing misdeeds. Moon, the significator of mind was cleaned by lord Shiva and lord Brahma by pushing it into the sea. Lord Shiva is said to have bisected the Moon. The mind that was conjuring bad and evil thoughts was one portion and the pure good side was the other. Shiva took the pure half and gave it the pride of the place, his head. He is called Chandra Shekhra. The fallen state of mind part was left to wallow in shame and humiliation amongst the fellow Gods. Sufficiently chastened and enlightened the Moon decided to give up his body. His body was immersed in the sea once again. Brahma purified the fallen mind and Sage Atri strengthened it. And so the chastened, purified and strengthened Moon took its designated place in the brotherhood of the Gods. Our legends are so deeply profound that it takes brilliant minds to unravel their layers of meaning. They operate allegorically at different levels. They have meanings embedded in layers. A story like that of Ramayana or Mahabharata from our Puranas was devised for common folk. Beneath the surface, however, there are messages of incredible complexity for the spiritually evolved. Patanjali Yoga Sutra is the Ultimate. Mr.K.N.Rao calls it a super scientific treatise. He says it is a great tribute to our ancestors who could think at such levels and reach super consciousness state by the conquest of `Chitta', the physical, emotional and mental state. It is to be done through abhyaas (practice) Vairagya (detachment) and the grace of God. There cannot be a more scientific book on Sadhana. It is in four parts - Samadhi, Sadhana, Vibhuti (Super normal powers) and Kaival (Salvation). The Soul and the human Goal. Your mind has the potential to take you to great heights to experience the unknown. The same mind could be made pedestrian by exclusively eating, drinking and watching TV. Give the mind freedom to ponder over the unknown, beyond the mundane. Encourage it to think over and above the routine. Do not block the wanderings of the mind. It can take you to places, to new ideas and ultimately to the human final goal. A confused mind is a part human condition. Do not get perturbed if it goes out of control. Knowing some facts about your mind boosts your

confidence like nothing else. How to channel your energies in the limited time that life offers can be only learnt by elevating the self spiritually. This can be done by periodically reflecting on your mind and the atma. The Moon has many names suggesting playfulness. Soma, Indu, Vidhu, Nishapati, Kalanidhi, Sudhanshu, Shubhanshu, Sheetrashmi, Nakshatranemi, Shashi, Chand, Chandrama, Amrit, Rakesh, Himanshu, Sarang, Mayank, Nishakar, Rajnikant, Rajneesh, Kaladhar, Himkiran. Lord Krishna is the mischievous Moon’s Avatar. The God incarnated came in human form with a playful naughty disposition. Our shastras have numerous naughty Moon like anecdotes of Lord Krishna. Osho’s Moon According to Osho the mind is not your reality; it is a false interpretation. You are not the mind, you have never been a mind, and you can never be the mind. That is your problem- you have become identified with something which is not. You are like a beggar who believes that he has a kingdom. He is so worried about the kingdom -- how to manage it, how to govern it, how to prevent anarchy. There is no kingdom, but he is worried. The mind is just like a crowd; thoughts are the individuals. And because thoughts are there continuously you think the process is substantial. Drop each individual thought and finally nothing is left. There is no mind as such, only thinking. Between two thoughts try to be alert; look into the interval, the space in between. You will see no mind; that is your nature. For thoughts come and go -- they are accidental -- but that inner space always remains. Clouds gather and go, disappear -- they are accidental -- but the sky remains. You are the sky. Moon in Astrological Classics Phaldeepika: The Moon is the significator of the welfare of the mother, tranquility of the mind, bathing in the sea, white chamar, umbrella, good fan, fruits, flowers, tender objects, farming grains, fame, pearls, silver, bell metal, beauty. Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra: Mind, water, royal, female, satwik, windy and phlegmatic, learned, round body, auspicious looks and sweet speech, fickle-minded and lustful. Watery places, Muhurta. Strong in north in 4th house, milky trees (rubber yielding plants). Moon in Mundane People in general, common man and women in particular. Welfare of the nation, matters of public interest, public opinion, business, agriculture, liquid, milk, groceries, fishing industry and navigation, pearls, water transport, nursing profession, air hostesses, merchants, textile industry, travel agencies and salesmen. Innkeepers, places of eating and taking rest (hospitality sector) sailing yachting. Seaports, ships, oceans, rivers, plant life and dairy farms social service NGO Moon, the Super computer.There are millions of nerves and blood vessels in the human body, each with a complex function. But only in, one in a million cases is, the mind optimally utilized. The planetary influence prompts thoughts and action at times to elevate the self but one has to get away from basic instincts, perhaps through free will allotted by God to appreciate the refined gifts of God. Ayurveda mentions 72.000 different nadis. It is believed there is a nadi for astrology as well. The yogi- astrologer of ancient times could perhaps identify and activate specific nadis. Western writers have written something similar about the inspiring muse and its activation in writers. Astrology and Psychology. An astrologer- psychologist can read the psyche better than a psychologist alone as he is able to regress to past births. The Moon and the 5th house of a horoscope reveal a lot, much more than a psychologist can draw after a number of sessions with a patient. The realm of working of the human psyche that prompts you to act is governed by the Moon.

We now look at how the psyche is constructed and how it is structured. How to judge whether the psyche is blessed with more freedom or less? Or whether our thoughts surge towards being positive, negative, constructive, destructive, creative, aesthetic, morose, lethal or mostly happy? This and much more can be traced to the5th house and the Moon in a horoscope. The raw-material for construction of your psyche are your karmas. This is the reason why the psyche has that subtle difference of shade at the individual level. A psychologist cannot read your karma but an astrologer can. Astrology when developed can give an insightful and interpretative analysis of the psyche by reading the Moon and 5th house that holds the key to the current life’s destiny and of many more lives that are still to come can be explained in absolute terms. Sanchit Karmas are a record of all actions and deeds in perhaps a disk of sorts that the soul carries with it after death to another life. The destiny of yet another life is carved from this record with debits and credits to it on a daily basis. An action that becomes karma of consequence could be in just a gesture, a spoken word showing some amount of decisiveness or simply a routine act from motivational forces that tune the psyche. The psyche is constructed both from the karmas of earlier births which the soul records along with the actions of the current birth. Your conscience too has developed from such karmas of yours . Be it a tendency to shower snide remarks, self-praise, ridicule or to criticize others.in fact, for every idea that comes to your mind and for every action, there is a reason and logic that lurks behind. The samskaras (psyhco mental tendencies) imbibed from actions (karmas) of past and current births get built in your psyche. How much of tamasic, rajasik or satwik elements (gunas) are there in your psyche and your conscience can be assessed from an analysis of the Moon. Tamasic (laziness, irresponsibility, cheating maliciousness), Rajasik are the undecided qualities between Tamasic and Satwik. Satwik Guna or innate quality would mean fearlessness, pure heartedness, charity, selfrestraint, austerity, non-violence, truthfulness, modesty and the like. A domination of Satwik planets in the trinity of 1-5-9 houses and Moon well-disposed, therefore makes you a Satwik, concentration of Rajasik makes you a Rajasik and so forth. Moon (Mind) Processes the Human Action The 5th house prompts, the 9th filters and the first house acts. A process that takes a fraction of a second in some of your actions still follows this route. Your reaction to unwanted situations that you are forced into also goes through the same process. Therefore don’t judge people by how they disappoint you but judge them by their reaction when you disappoint them. Every action is not Karma. An action of consequence only goes to the account and not the routine ones.If this screening and elimination was not there the account perhaps would become unmanageable. Sanchita Karmas are the accumulated karmas of past lives. Prarabdha: that portion of the accumulated karma which is allotted for the present birth Kriyamana are the karma we do in the present life. Aagami are the karmas that reflect in our future births. Akarma and Vikarma:The Good(Akarma) and the Bad (Vikarma). Vikarma are a)Anti-parental karma b) Anti-family karma and c)Anti-society karma. Results of these Karmas: a) Akarma leads to salvation. b) Vikarma leads to divine punishment and bondage Like the changing shades of Moon in a Horoscope, every Psyche is peculiar. The reward of the same Karma will differ based on age, desh, Kaal and paatra considerations. Marrying 2-3 times in the permissive west will not amount to a serious anti society Karma as it would be in India. Not caring

for parents will be lesser evil in the developed west, where children have not seen their parents respect their grandparents, than in India where the society trains you to look after your parents. And culturally and morally it is considered a duty. Could History be different if free will was exercised judiciously? Are we puppets in the hand of destiny? History has in its record many major upheavals caused from routine reactions out of mistaken perceptions of those in power. Were these pre-willed by the destiny of the earth, nations and the individuals or did free will play a role in these actions. Can free will, postpone, minimize or maximize. This will remain an eternal debate. Bhagavad Gita answers it eighty percent. Lord Krishna tried his best to avert the Mahabharat. It was both the destiny of the nation as well the karmas of the high and mighty who did not agree to budge that led to the Mahabharat. The action inspired by the beauty of Helen of Troy led to the sinking of a thousand ships and the destruction of the great Roman empire. The insult of Draupadi, by a spoken word led to the Mahabharat war and as a consequence the eternal Gita was created. A line drawn by an Englishman on a map dividing India and Pakistan led to killing and uprooting of millions. Spot the reason for being in a tight situation. Do not miss the bus every time. That the Almighty God has given us ample an opportunity to improve is quite clear. One is thrown into a typical situation and tested time and again. A challenging situation may be an opportunity to liquidate your bad karmas. Vedic Astrology can Read your Psyche from the Moon and the 5th house. The 5th house controls that crucial channel that connects Heart- Brain- Soul. The 4th house governs the heart as Moon is the lord of the 4th house of the natural zodiac. The lordship of the 5th house of the natural zodiac is of Sun, the significator of the soul. The planets in the 4th and 5th house and their lords indicate the promptings that go for every action and it is finally the culturally moulded mind- set (Moon)that processes and gives command. The Sun and Moon are planets of royalty. The 4th represents the simhasan (throne) and the fifth royalty and sovereign. In our research on 15 Indian prime ministers we have found a dominating role of the 4th (Moon)and the 5th house (Sun) at the time when they became prime ministers.

The Moon is also called Soma, named after the intoxicating sacred drink used in Vedic sacrifice. Where all westerners know their Sun-sign, you will find all Hindus know their Moon sign, for the Moon, and its birth sign are all important in Hindu culture and astrology. In fact, Hindus do not celebrate their birthday on the calendar day on which they were born. Instead, they celebrate their birthday in the month they were born when the Moon enters the part of the sign it was in at birth. Such is the importance of the Moon in Vedic culture!

The bright Moon is considered a benefic of the highest order, and the dark Moon is considered a malefic. The Moon is known as a hare, or rabbit in Vedic lore, as he jumps faster than any of the other grahas. The Moon rules over the sidereal sign of Cancer. He is exalted in Taurus, and fallen in the opposite sign of Scorpio. The Moon is a karaka of many things. He is an indicator of the mother, and females in general, the public, general well being and happiness, femininity and beauty, the eyesight, memory and the mind. Yes, the Mind. Many western students of astrology are shocked to discover that the Moon is indicative of the mind, and not Mercury. The Sun is the indicator of the soul, and the Moon is the vehicle of the mind that receives the light of the soul. Mercury is the further process that is called the intellect, which places a value on what the mind has received. The Moon as the mind is indicative of all the senses and their ability to perceive life in all its splendor. Mercury represents a further distillation and conceptualization of that process and its ultimate intellectualization in forming judgment. Vedic Sage Parasara says of the Moon; "The Moon is very white and phlegmatic. She is learned and has a round body. She has auspicious looks and sweet speech, is fickleminded and very lustful." The Moon is most comfortable and powerful in the Fourth House, she also likes the angles. The Moon is particularly beneficial for the water sign ascendants of Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces. Her nature is kapha, or watery. Her gem is the Moonstone and natural pearls. Her metal is silver and her direction is Northwest. The Moon's day is Monday. The Moon comes into her full maturity at age 24. Karaka The Moon is the queen of the planetary cabinet and signifies mother, mind and wife. Next to the Sun, role of the Moon is very important as it signifies mother. The mother brings up the child and is the first preceptor of the child. That is why, the Moon signifies mind also. If the position of the Moon is strong in a nativity, the mother will be having sufficient resources and will bring up the child and develop mental faculties in a peaceful manner. The Moon acts as a nourishing agent and as a soother. It gives a native capability of looking after that is including the fields of training, public relations, administration and soothing (physician). The Moon enjoys the status in administration by virtue of being the wife of the king. It does not have to strive for acquiring a status when strong in a nativity. It governs the professions of hoteliers, public relations, moneylenders, house-keepers, physicians, healers, business in eatables, etc. Depending upon the brightness of the Moon, while a weak Moon gives a slim body, a full Moon may give a corpulent body if it is connected with the ascendant or its lord in a powerful way, in isolation. The Moon is volatile as it is changing its position daily. It has auspicious looks and pleasant speech. The Moon is a female planet, cold, moist, mild and is phlegmatic in nature. It governs fluids in body, good quality of blood, breast, stomach, lymphatic system, lungs and chest. It governs the left eye in the case of males and ovaries, menstrual cycle, uterus, generative organs and right eye in the case of females. Weak and afflicted Moon besides psychic problems causes diseases of the uterus, lungs, menstrual disorders, the native is vulnerable to frequent cough and cold, fever, general weakness, etc. Its complexion is tawny The Moon is the luminary that governs the night. Even though it doesn’t radiate light from its own substance, it gives us the reflected light of the Sun. The Moon follows a cycle in which its brilliance wanes for 15 days after waxing for the same amount of time. It is also recognized that the Moon exercises a significant influence upon the circadian rhythm of every living creature. The fluid level of every body of water rises and falls according to the gravitational pull of the Moon. In the physical world, the

The Moon becomes strong as it becomes bright close to the Full Moon. The Moon becomes weak as it becomes dark, and becomes particularly weak close to the New Moon. The light of the Moon becomes a metaphor for the light of consciousness, and Vedic astrology, as well as Vedic philosophy reveals another timeless truth: What you see in life is what you get! The brighter the light of the mind, the more the possibilities of consciousness, therefore, the more possibilities of conscious choice. Ignorance is not bliss when it comes to the light of the mind! A strong Moon in Vedic astrology is indicative of grace, sensitivity and deep perceptual insight. When the Moon is weak the person is said to go unrecognized and there is a perception of not being supported, particularly in the early family environment. As in western astrology, the Moon rules the sign of Cancer and is exalted in the sign of Taurus. Although exalted in all of the sign of Taurus, the Moon reaches its height of exaltation at 3 degrees of Taurus. Conversely, the Moon is debilitated in the sign of Scorpio, and reaches its depth of debilitation at 3 degrees of Scorpio. A reminder please, that these are the sidereal signs of the zodiac and not the tropical signs as used in western astrology. The Moon rules the Fourth House in Vedic astrology and is associated with the family. But, in Vedic astrology, the Fourth House is exclusively the domain of the mother, while the father is seen from both the Ninth and Tenth Houses. The Moon's most powerful position is in the Kendras, or the Angles of the chart. The Angle of the Fourth House is where the Moon gains dik bala, or directional strength; its most powerful position. Here a strong Moon gives happiness, peace of mind, good education and strong familial ties and contentment.

A most important consideration in Vedic astrology are the planets that are in association with the Moon. As the Moon represents the mind, it is imperative that the Moon be associated with planets to bring forth, through perception, the qualities of mind. The associations of the Moon are known as the Chandra yogas, or Moon yogas in Vedic astrology. The Sanskrit word yoga comes from the Sanskrit word yug, which means to join together. It has the same root as the English word yoke, which means: "to link things together." How planets are yoked to the Moon shows how the divine is linked to our perceptual consciousness. That is our particular karma, our bias, of how we view the phenomenal world! The Chandra yogas, or the yogas of the Moon are many in number. For the purposes of this article several will be mentioned to illustrate how the Moon is interpreted in Vedic astrology. Yogas in Vedic astrology are the vocabulary of the heavens. They are not to be memorized mindlessly! That is akin to remembering words without knowing the dynamics of sentence construction and forgetting what you were trying to say! As a vocabulary of consciousness, each of the Chandra yogas allow us to identify with a particular vantage point of personal consciousness. This facilitates entering into the mind of another. Further, this allows us to empathize with the karmic condition of the mind that has that particular yoga, and to see the world through the vantage point of the mind of that person! Understanding this concept is of paramount importance in astrology if one is truly going to be of assistance to the individual whose chart is being interpreted! Please keep in mind when reviewing the Chandra yogas, that like planetary aspects, they are not all created equal. The more dignified the planets in association with the Moon are by sign, and house, the more powerful and dignified the Chandra yogas will be. If the yogas are formed with exalted planets, or planets in their own signs, they will be powerful. If the yogas are formed with debilitated, or weakened planets, correspondingly the yogas will be disturbed and weakened. All yogas are not created equal! Further, the astrological houses where the Chandra yogas take place are of great importance. If the yogas take place in the Kendras, Houses One, Four, Seven, and Ten, they will be powerfully disposed. If the yogas take place in the TrikonalHouses, that is the trines of Houses, One, Five and Nine, they will be blessed with personal and divine purpose. Lastly, the houses that the planets rule that form the yoga are of supreme importance. If the planets creating the Chandra yoga with the Moon rule the auspicious Kendra and Trikonal Houses they will create harmonizing, and purposeful influences within the mind. But, if the planets that form the Chandra yogas with the Moon rule the particularly difficult Third, Sixth, Eight, and Twelfth Houses of Vedic astrology, then the yoga will be somewhat spoiled, and the mind will become impressed with the oppression of these difficult houses. The mind will inherently have some level of disturbance, and will become misdirected over time, unless corrective measures are taken. Please remember that many factors are involved in the formation of planetary yogas, and a little knowledge is sometimes a dangerous thing! The first of the Chandra yogas are the simple associations of planets adjacent by sign on either side of the Moon. When any planet, excluding the Sun, is in the sign second from the Moon it is called Sunapha Yoga. The nature of the planet associated with the Moon will impress itself upon the mind, in a Second House manner, to acquire wealth, knowledge, quietude and happiness. The second Chandra yoga is the association of any planet, excluding the Sun, in the sign twelfth from the Moon. This is called Anapha Yoga. As the nature of the Second House is to acquire, the nature of the Twelfth House is to disperse. So this gives the mind the ability to dispense knowledge, to spend liberally and to thoroughly enjoy the process! When planets are on either side of the Moon, that is on both sides of the Moon, this yoga goes under the name of Durudhara yoga. This complete

planetary connection magnifies the results of the first two yogas and thoroughly balances the mind according to the nature of the planets involved. This yoga gives great strength to the mind, creating a mind that is capable of both acquisition and dispensation of knowledge, wealth, happiness etc. When the Moon is associated with the benefic planets, Mercury, Venus and Jupiter, it gives rise to a particular category of yogas. The Adhi Chandra yoga arises when all the benefic planets, Mercury, Venus and Jupiter occupy Houses Six, Seven and Eight from the Moon. This yoga, through benefic association, directs the mind toward beauty, grace, and the divine, conferring health, happiness and prosperity, as well as recognition and status. The Gaja-Kesari yoga arises when the Moon is located in an Angle from the great benefic Jupiter; that is when the Moon is in the same sign, or square Jupiter. The square aspect here treats the Moon like its is in a Kendra, or an Angle, thus giving the Moon stability with Jupiter. Because of the expansive spirituality of the planet Jupiter, this yoga confers on the mind deep spirituality, virtue, intelligence, dignity, and the ability to command great respect. The Vasumati yoga is formed when all the benefics, Mercury, Venus and Jupiter, occupy Houses Three, Six, Ten and Eleven from the Moon. These are known as the growing houses in Vedic astrology, and this association allows the mind of the individual to expand over time through the beneficial association and protection of the benefic planets. This yoga brings prosperity and optimism to the mind. Lastly, when the Moon has none of these Chandra yogas, is not placed in a Kendra, that is an Angular house, and has planets neither in the same sign, or in the opposite sign, the Kemadruma yoga is formed. The mind here is bereft of planetary association and so a particular condition of consciousness arises wherein the individual is bereft of health, wealth, and the association that planetary connections and aspects bring. The mind here does not perceive a connection with others, or even a connection to the divine. The mind here perceives that it is alone, and therein arises a loneliness, a listlessness and a tendency to depression because of this perception. This karma, this yoga is very rare in Vedic astrology, so if you are reading this article you cannot have this yoga as you are fascinated with this astrology, known as Jyotish, "the science of light", a deeply divine science, being one of the sacred limbs of the Vedas! So please don't make the general truth of Kemadruma yoga your personal truth and identify with this yoga! Symbolism of Chandra or the Moon A prominent moon in a person's chart will bestow a pale complexion with charming eyes. They will often be of short stature and rather plump, with a rolling gait. Sensitivity, love for home and kindred, good memory, and fertile imagination are further signs of a prominent moon. During the dark fortnight (waning moon) Candra is malefic in nature, and he is benefic in his bright fortnight (waxing moon). He rules Cancer, represents the mind, indicates the mother and the pearl, white and pure, is his gem. Monday is his day. Moon (Chandra) “Reflection of paradisiacal pure beauty….. pouring the divine warmth upon earth” Moon is the satellite of earth. It has been given much importance in Vedic astrology. Moon represent the emotional and mental aspects of human life. Moon in a Indian horoscope represents the mental peace and mental happiness. It controls the emotional balance in human life. Chandra (Moon) : Astronomy The moon or Chandra is the natural satellite of Earth. The most visible celestial body apart from sun is moon. The moon does not emit its own light but it is shined by the reflection of sun’ light. The mass of Moon or Chandra is almost one-eightieth(1/8th) of the mass of earth and it is 7.3ss x

1022kg. The average center to center distance between the moon and earth is around 384,438 kilometers. The diameter of moon is 3,477 kilometers. The gravitational force of moon is of 17.54 % of the gravitational force present on the surface of Earth. The surface of moon is having many craters, basins and highlands. There is no water and no air on moon. The gravitational pull of moon on earth is the cause of rise and fall of ocean tides. Astrology of Moon or Chandra : Importance of Moon in horoscope Moon in astrology has a high importance. Apart from being an important planet in a horoscope, it is one of the three ascendants in Vedic horoscope. It shines upon the earth as pouring the divine blessings of peace and love upon the mortals. Moon revolves around our planet earth like a natural satellite. It gives different impacts upon different lives through residing at different houses in different zodiacs of natives. Moon rules over the zodiac Cancer on account of which the natives of this zodiac signs are believed to be most emotional people as Moon bestows them all the feelings and sentiments. Besides this, Moon stays at the highest stature of his domination or in exaltation with all of his powers when in zodiac sign Taurus while it losses his all powers when in Scorpio and impact negatively in the same. Sun, Mars and Jupiter are the Friends of mercury. Venus, Saturn, rahu and ketu are natural enemies of Moon. Mercury is neutral to Moon. The Moon plays a very important role in astrology. It is one of the three ascendants in the birth chart or a horoscope of a person. A well placed and powerful moon is very much required in a horoscope to give the full results of raj - yogas and dhan yogas formed by other planets or by Sun. If moon is not well placed and powerful in a horoscope, the results of benefic yogas are reduced. Especially for the natives of Cancer, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio and Pisces ascendant, the good placement and power and dignity of Moon is very important. For doing the deep study of a horoscope, often apart from the rasi or ascendant chart, moon chart is also considered. Moon chart would be made by taking the moon as ascendant in the rasi chart and redrawing the chart accordingly. Moon chart holds very important role in th vedic astrology. It is equally important as the rasi or ascendant chart. Sometimes, when the moon is stronger than the ascendant, Moon chart would become more important than the ascendant chart. Even if the ascendant is stronger, moon chart is the second most important chart to be considered. If a particular aspect of life is in bad stage in ascendant chart than the moon chart would be considered. If that aspect is bad in moon chart as well, then that aspect would be in very bad state in the life of native. If the aspect is good in moon chart then this would create a balancing impact and the results related to that aspect would be average in life. Moon governs over the formations of emotional appearance of a person which comprises his or her natural attitude, memories, interests, moods, vision and ability to adapt in the surroundings as good placement of Moon turns all of these into positive direction for making a person stronger and true from inside while it’s poor position leaves him with fragile inner essence along with tainted inner self. The weak or ill-placed moon could make the mental constitution weak and cause many mental and psychological problems like depression, anxiety, mental tensions and mood disorders. On account of this, Moon plays a major role on the part of peace and harmony in life. It also decides the person’s mental happiness and mental peace which is very important and without which all the other aspects of life like wealth, profession and success become somewhat worthless. Besides the part of emotions, a well placed Moon bestows happiness in the life, strong social stature which all together makes life successful and prosperous. The powerful and well placed Chandra gives immense wealth, fame and popularity. It’s placement in kendras (1st , 4th, 7th and 10th house) and trikonas (1st, 5th ,9th house ) are generally very auspicious. There are much auspicious yogas which are formed by a well placed and powerful moon. A powerful moon placed in a good house could

bring all the worldly pleasure like wealth, happiness, vehicles, property, high designation in profession and support of authorities. Apart from the professional things, it would fill the personal life or family life of a person with happiness. On the other side, the ill placement of Moon in the horoscope forms many ill-yogas bestows unstable mind, poverty, lack of decision making ability followed by a tough path of life comprising failures. It makes the person prone to tensions and worries. The person would lack self-confidence. The harmony on the home front would be lesser and person would fall under the trap of anxiety and depression. In addition to this, Moon being the presenter of water also impacts upon our body fluids and body systems relating to fluids in variant ways. So the ill placement could generate imbalance of fluid system in human body. Moon being the dominant aspect of sentimental side of a person also impacts upon the enclosure of relationships of the person as effecting his or her relations as well on account of it’s placements. Apart from this, a well placed Moon bestow us inclinations towards art along with the creative vision, imaginative attitude and sensuality. Effects of contented / discontented Moon (Chandra) Effects of well placed and powerful Moon or Chandra in the birth chart Moon is a divine pourer of true emotions with a balancing firm believe in mind as making a person true at his inner self with the strength of mind for making him or her able to win in the path of life so that he or she would lead a prosperous and successful life. A well placed Moon bestows the strength of mind to the person for making it stable with firm thoughts and positive and vivid vision towards the world along with the ability to confront the hurdles of life and believe to win over them so that the person could win over them. It bestows the persistence and peace of mind which reflects in making lives harmonious and happy. The strong, powerful and well placed Moon provides good level of affluence to the person . It provides the high status and popularity in society. The person would rise high in the professional hierarchy. He would have good professional life as well as the good personal life. The person would have high level of mental peace and happiness. The family life will be full of harmony. Moon plays a dominating role for bestowing the sense, right reasoning vision, intuitive nature, sensual attitude and bend towards creative aspects as specially comprising poetry, fine arts and music, love for jewelry along with attractive and appealing persona and affluence with the blend of fortune. It could also make a person sensitive with the high composition of emotions. Effects of ill-placed and weak Moon or Chandra in the birth chart The benevolent Moon could turn adverse for some of the mortals on account of their framework of horoscope chart and the placement of Moon in the same. The most believed negative impact says that weak moon takes the mind of the person to an unstable state on account of extreme presence of emotions in a not balanced state. ill-placed moon brings a distressed position of mind besides weakening the person from inside as leaving him or her in an unable state of confronting the hurdles of life and win over them. This ultimately leads him towards the failures in the path of life and deserts him in the difficult states of life. The discontented moon create many ill-yoga which causes mental distress, poverty, problems in family life and health problems. Altogether, ill placement of Moon brings the person in the difficult roads along with weak composition of mind as makings him unable to succeed and as a result leaving them in the disturbed state of mind reflecting the adverse states of life.

It also expresses the divine purity of paradise with the expression of all chaste which gets more strengthened with the blend of its white color. Blessings of Moon The Moon governs over the mental setup of the person as it bestow the mental strength to the native and paints the inner essence of the person with the blend of positive colors. It makes the person firm at thoughts as making him stronger for confronting the difficult stages of life. Moon plays a major role in pacifying the mind of the person through keeping it stable and bestow the person a right vision towards the world outside along with the shade of true emotions inside. Moon dominates over the coloring of picture of feelings inside the native as completing his or her image of inner essence. Moon bestow the strength to our different bonds in the outside world as governing over our relationships in this mortal land.

The Moon By Michael Laughrin ([email protected]) Moon is everything internal--one's moods, one's feelings, one's thoughts, one's psychic impressions. The tides exist not only in the oceans, but in us as well, men as well as women. I can only "see" you, indeed, "see" the world through the colored glasses of my internal geography which includes my emotional makeup, my culture, my so-called neuroses, my training, my beliefs, my longings, my particular angle on Infinity (which is, ultimately, our true nature). The outer world more or less resembles our inner world because we see what we are inside. When a thief sees a saint, he only sees his pockets. This is all because of the Moon in our chart. Our body is a universe and the internal Moon rules the tides, the rhythms of the ebb and flow of the lymph, the blood, the cerebrospinal fluid. We are 85% water and the Moon indicates how that water will affect us. Will we drown (in too many psychic impressions)? Are sharks and other killers on the hunt in our inner ocean? Or is it a glorious day at the beach, with sunny skies, balmy temperatures and gentle tides? The inner Moon (and it is always Inner) rules all of this. Indeed, until we can "escape" the universe of the body through transcendence (even death won't do it because the psychic impressions go on and on until the samskaras have been roasted in the fires of spiritual purification from thousands of hours of sadhana), we cannot escape the "gravity" of the Moon. Someone once said that all of Jyotish can be seen by deeply analyzing the Moon. All karma comes through the Moon (the Mind, the emotions, the psychic impressions). If you purify the mind through mantra (and perhaps tantra and yantra) or thorugh seva (divine service) or through charity, then the small self starts to become the Big Self and true Ascension begins to unfold. It is all a question of personality (the small self) versus the Soul (the Big [or Higher] Self). Tell me which one rules in a man and I will tell you a great deal about him. Is he primarily an egotistical animal? Personality rules. Or is he more like a divine angel? That is because the Higher Self rules. The action is all within us. The planets merely indicate that which is occurring within. And the Moon--Queen of the Night, queen of the mind, the soul, the individual essence that is us-rules us most of all (at least, until Enlightenment dawns). The Moon rules liquid--our bodily fluids. The Moon (and Venus) rules perfumes--the almost ineffable essence that indicates our truest Natures. The Moon is the Mother (the seat of the Divine Mother within is the Crown chakra on the top of the head) and the brain rules the whole body. The Moon is the main emotional planet (like the tides, they go up and down in an endless cycle). The Moon is the love of the Mona Lisa while Venus (the other emotional, feminine planet) is more like the sensual love of Marilyn Monroe. The Moon is the most changeable of planets (our hormonal state is changing all the time as it responds to new sensory, psychic, and biochemical stimuli). The Moon, even though it gets all of its Light from the Sun (the Soul), is "wiped out" by being too close to the Sun. Just so, our personality (entirely a thing of the Relative) that ultimately derives from the Soul, prefers to be separate from the soul so that it can do its own thing (even if that thing is neurotic and full of imperfections [Vive la Difference!]). The essence of Music is Silence, yet Music prefers to break the Silence. The Moon is a symbolic parallel of human life on Earth. We wax, we wane. Occasionally, we are entirely eclipsed. Sometimes we are blood red. At other times, we are pale and weak. At harvest time we are fat, full and yellow. We are pockmarked, perfect yet imperfect, like the Moon's surface. We have our season and then we fade away. But, at some level, we are eternal. We die only to be born again in a seemingly endless cycle. O Great Mother, look down on Me with love. Bless me. Be with me. Guide me in my every mood, my every human condition. Jai Chandra Ma.Jai Kali. Om shri Chandraya namaha. Om shri Somaya namaha.

Moon Power The Moon is a powerful symbol of the Triple Goddess who represents the spiritual growth of wisdom and the evolution of woman from innocent maiden, to loving mother, to wise crone. These stages are also a reflection of the four lunar phases, the dark of the moon, the waxing moon, the full moon and the waning moon. The moon is the mother of the universe, representing the feminine powers of the cosmos, and purely in its own right, the power of the moon and the time of its phases can either enhance or disrupt our bodily rhythms and our lives. Dark Moon rituals focus on reflection and introspection. It is a hushed moment in the lunar cycle where everything begins anew. It is a good time to cast spells concerning new beginnings and the launch of new projects. It is generally a time for taking new paths and making fresh plans established on the basis of past experiences. The influence of the Dark Moon can also boost ambitions and careers so it is a productive time for sowing the seeds of success. Money spells and works spells are best cast during this time and in general it is a good time for spending money and speculating on the future Waxing Moon rituals focus on beginnings, steady growth and awakening your psychic self. It is a special time for accumulating strength and for expansion and growth. It is an appropriate time for preparing magic spells for the most promising time which is three days before the moon is full. The waxing moon aids the accomplishment of any undertakings whether of a practical or spiritual nature. It is the time for a practitioner’s quest for empowerment and a period in which to enhance our magical powers and perception of the other world. The closer we come to the full moon, the stronger our intuitive power. Full Moon rituals focus on fertility, creativity, maturity, bearing fruit and power. It is a most fortuitous time, especially when approaching the witching hour of midnight where our inner strengths and magical powers are at their peak. It is an excellent time to cast love spells as the full moon assures enchanting outcomes, so if you yearn for more love in your life this is the time to transcend your desires into the cosmos. The full moon is also the most appropriate time to give recognition and to pay tribute to the spirits that guide and protect you. During this period the extrovert aspects of our character begin to appear to be more prominent and so we are generally more outgoing and receptive towards others. Waning Moon rituals focus on banishing, diminishing and cleansing negativity, therefore casting spells for removing problems, eliminating trouble and neutralizing adversaries and harm is most effective when the moon is on the wane. Protection spells for yourself, your loved ones, your home and material possessions are also best cast during this time. It is also a time when our bodies are much more susceptible to cleansing so if you feel that you have neglected your body it is a good time to cleanse yourself through detoxification. Dieting and exercising also become easier during this time and results will generally last longer when you begin during the waning moon. So as you can see consulting the moon and an astrological chart is a vital part of spell-casting. Some days and months are more beneficial for casting certain spells than other times. As you familiarize yourself with the different phases of the moon you become more confident in adapting your magical tasks in order to achieve the best possible results in your magical undertakings Moon in the 12 houses of a Horoscope Moon is the most significant aspect in the study of Astrology. It is the most important aspect in analysis of a horoscope. Yes, the ascendant shows the destiny of this life (“Prarabdha” Karma) and

“direction of the Outcome” of the past karma in this life but Moon shows the deepest desire of the soul. What the specific person loves the most and where he will spend his most of “mindspace”/”thoughts”. Moon can singlehandedly change the effectiveness of the horoscope – a troubled mind can never achieve its potential & a calm/tranquil mind can go through a sea of calamities with success (or at least not making it worse than it is!). If the ascendant shows the world’s perception about you – the window the world looks at you – Moon is who you actually are! Many people who seem to be miss-understood by masses have very conflicting or opposing / different influences on the ascendant & moon. (Salman Khan might very well have Rahu in the 1st house (Anger / Agitation) but Moon in Jupiter’s aspect!) Mind/emotions and intellect/brain are two different things – Mercury (Budh) controls the intellect / logical thinking but it is Moon that controls the emotions or mind of a person. That is the very reason why the current planets (Gochar) (weekly / monthly /annual horoscope) are analyzed from Moon and not from Sun or Ascendant. It all depends on a person’s “state of mind”: with the same material situation, different folks would perceive it differently. The concept of being happy or sad depends completely on the mind of a person! Moon is the fastest moving astral body going through 12 signs every approximately 28+ days. While Moon rotates around itself and the Earth, it also rotates around Sun. That’s why it is common sense to say that Moon is “Karak” or Governor of the mind & emotions. Moon is also the governor of Mother (Mata-karak), water, emotions/mind, silver apart from many other things. Needless to say that the house, the sign (rashi) and the constellation (Nakshatra) of Moon are ultra-important while analyzing a horoscope. Moon The Moon governs the planets Sravanam or Hastham in Rohini, and this is why the results of the planets are altered according to the position or ownership of the Moon. Results 1.

For example, if a planet is in Hastham, and the lagna of the individual is Scorpio with the Moon in the 11th house of Virgo, the following consequences are probable: The Moon rules 9, and presently it is in 11, which mean the latter is predominant. Thus, the planet in Hastham (or Sravanam or Rohini) offers results that are indicated by the 11th house bhava predominantly than those indicated by the 9th house. These are fulfilled through Mars which rules 1 and 6. Mars is therefore the source of fulfillment and accomplishment, based on its occupation, ownership and nature. Moon shows the results during its period or sub period.

Moon or Chandra is a very important planet in Vedic astrology. It is one of the three ascendants in Vedic astrology. If the Moon is well placed in the birth chart then it brings good results both in personal and professional life. The person with a well placed Moon would have a perfect work-life balance. The person would have good environment at home, good peace of mind, and good favor of luck. The person will be having good level of creativity. On the other hand, if Moon is not well placed, it creates problems in case of mental peace, harmony at home, gives quarrelsome nature and problems in case of fortune. The person may get wealth due to other well placed planets but he would not be able to feel the pleasure of life. When the sun and moon are in the same rasi it is called Amavasya or new moon day or the 1st day of the dark fortnight. The lunar days or Tithi changes with every 12 degree difference between the sun and the moon. When the sun and the moon are in the exact opposite signs or 180 degrees apart, it is called Poornima or the full moon day or the 1st day of the bright fortnight. He is the Matrukaraka or planet connected with mother. Where the Moon is placed in ones horoscope has a very significant impact on ones life. The following are the results of Moon placed in the 12 houses from Lagna. Here in this section, we are presenting the results of placement of Moon or Chandra in all the 12 houses of the horoscope or the Vedic birth chart. Moon in the 1st house of a Horoscope (TANU STHAN) The 1st house is about ‘self’, appearance, overall body, head / face, the image that you portray to the world or the way the world perceives you. It is also about your daily commute. Your overall disposition is controlled by the 1st house including the facial expressions. Talking/moving in sleep and sometimes even walking (when Mars with Moon) is quite likely when Moon is in the 1st house. The mind keeps working over-time even when the body is asleep! J Moon controls/represents temperament of a person and when in the 1st house it completely rules the person. The thoughts are put to action immediately with this Moon. When a person is born on 2, 11, 20 or 29 (personality), the 1st house Moon is absolutely important factor in the analysis as these dates also show emotional/sensitive attitude. Even the total addition of 2 (Life purpose) would increase the importance with teh same intensity. The 1st house Moon means the person is sensitive about the appearance, image, looks and being popular. It also shows overall nature of moving around quickly, changing places more often unless in 2 5 8 11 signs which make it a bit stable but still they will be movers if not changing cities/jobs very often. They are more affected by the surroundings and catch cold/viral deceases more often. Their facial expressions give away what they are thinking; makes it easy to guess their thoughts. As their 6th sense is heightened they are quite often are the receiving end of “Najar lagana”. The mood swings are common, the way Moon goes thru changes every day, their mood can change quite often even in a day; especially when Moon is in a water sign (4, 8, 12). As the 1st house is about “Duties” as it is belongs to Dharma-Trikon, this moon position does show desire of position of responsibility i.e. a designation or a job or “an office” with set well defined monthly, weekly duties. As Moon also shows people contact & sales, this placement is very good for such jobs like MR / Sales / PR etc. These folks are sort of destiny’s child (neutral way and not a bad or good way) as the planetary pulls of current planets apply to them quite a bit as Ascendant and Moon sign are the same – the 5th Guru will give tremendous success whereas 6th Guru will show some health issues. These folks are easier to handle for Astrologers or rather these folks have the best use of Astrologers! J Even when Moon is closer to the ascendant degree – the mahadasha and antardasha would be that much more

effective. Moon in the 1st house shows that there is a definite specific karma (acute) which is to be used in this birth. i.e. the desire of the person and the destiny of the person are very much in sync. A well placed Moon with aspect from Jupiter would give tremendous popularity & also a coveted position in life. The afflicted Moon could show loss of memory, lack of tranquility and even some mental instability that affects overall well being as Moon in the Tanu (Body) sthan. This 1st house Moon in Taurus or even Cancer sign could show dark/beautiful eyes & mostly curly hair. This Moon also makes the person popular with Women as Women have natural 6th sense that senses the sensitive/emotional side of this person in the 1st look. For kids born with Moon in the 1st house – constant encouragement and good childhood memories of being loved are VERY important. They make long lasting impact – Yes it applies to ALL of the kids but MORE so for the 1st house Moon folks as they always keep the kid in them alive! J A badly placed Moon, say with Rahu (aggression/agitation/hedonism) or Ketu (pessimism, depression) or Shani (without Jupiter Aspect) warrants Hanuman Sadhana for sure. Using White Pearl (Moti) in Silver in right hand small finger helps too. (Start on Monday at the time of the Sun rise 1hr plus minus of Sun rise; with usual Puja, followed by Kula-dewata Puja; 108 times Moon’s Navagraha Mantra which is easily available on the net and then put on the ring – A Monday that is on 2, 11, 20, 29 is more effective but not mandatory – Do not spend more than Rs 15K etc unless you are a film star or a VIP etc – You know what I mean) Moon in the 1st House 1. Moon symbolises beauty. Its placement in the ascendant makes the person very handsome in appearance. 2. Moon is always waning and waxing and represents mind. The mind of the native will therefore be somewhat unsteady. 3. Moon is a watery planet. The native will therefore like watery places. 4. When the Moon is in Aries in the ascendant, she will be lord of the 4th in the 1st. When it is in Taurus she will be exalted as lord of the 3rd in the 1st. When the Moon is in Cancer she will be in her own sign, in the Ascendant. So the results are that he will be versed in shastras, wealthy, happy, a king. He will be soft spoken, will be of strong body but not intelligent. 5. In Libra and Pisces in the Ascendant will also be good because she will be in the ascendant as lord of the 9th, the 10th and the 5th respectively. 6. If the Moon is aspected by a benefic the native will be powerful, intelligent, wealthy etc. Moon IN lagna • very handsome, bright skin, unstable, unhealthy, happiness of water bodies • 15th year many travels • in aries, taurus and cancer ,he will abide by shastras • moneyed, happy, kingly, soft spoken ,less intelligent ,soft body ,well structured , if aspected well strong body well built, intelligent and healthy ,will be convincing in words and very rich • if aspected by malefic sick and diseased First house: People with the moon in the first house are usually hyper sensitive. Although they are very restless, easily changed and easily hurt, they are quick and easy at making new adjustments when needed. Their feelings constantly change which means that it is hard for them to make lasting plans. They need a partner who can respect them, be loyal and cope with the frequent mood swings. They care a lot about physical appearance and appearing healthy.

The Moon in the Ascendant identical with Cancer, Taurus, or Aries indicates, that the native will be liberal, beautiful, rich and enjoying pleasures greatly. The Moon in the Ascendant identical with other Signs indicates, that the native will be intensely passionate, base, deaf, distressed, dumb and will decline (in prosperity). Moon in the first house: You are moody and changeable leading to insecurity, indecisiveness and mood swings. You are extremely sensitive to what people say about you and to the environment. Be confident, positive and express your individuality and uniqueness in work. Your mother's influence on you whether for good or ill is strong. Some of your weakness and strengths may be attributed to this influence. Moon in 1st house: If the Moon is in the first house (ascendant), the native will be very handsome looking but unsteady mentally. He will suffer from bodily troubles and will be happy at watery places. He will perform many travels in his 15th year. If the Moon in the Ascendant is in Aries, Taurus or Cancer, the native will be well versed in shastras (Hindu religious scriptures), wealthy, happy and soft spoken. He will have soft skin and strong build but he will not be intelligent. If the Moon is aspected by benefics, the native will be powerful, wise, intelligent, healthy, clever conversationalist and wealthy.

OTHER VIEWS Brihat Jataka: The person concerned will be mute, insane, stupid, blind, base or mean, deaf or servile (this does not apply to birth with Moon in Aries, Taurus or Cancer). If the Moon should occupy her own house identical with the Ascendant, the person will be rich. If Aries takes the place of Cancer, the person concerned will have many children. If Taurus be the ascendant, the person will be wealthy. Phaldeepika: If the Moon of the bright half of the lunar month (Sukla Paksha) is in the ascendant, the native will be fearless, of strong body, wealthy and long lived. Quite opposite will be the results if the Moon is of dark half of the lunar month. Saravali: If the Moon is in Aries, Taurus or Cancer in the ascendant or if the full Moon is posited in other ascendants, the native will head in handsomeness, generosity, good qualities, wealth and enjoyment. A waning Moon in the ascendant will make the native mean, deaf, mute and perturbed. Chamatkar Chintamani-If the Moon be in Aries, Taurus and Cancer in the ascendant, the person concerned will be rich, lustrous and will enjoy all kinds of comforts. If Moon be in Gemini, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces in the ascendant, the native will be poor, weak bodied, stupid and deaf. Moon- In the first house moon makes a person a loaner like the 12th house. This position however makes a person think very logically and practically. Every move is calculated, and they do not tend to be very emotional unless being aspected by Mars in cancer, as in a Capricorn ascendant. Moon in the first house makes a person a restless, but a good business mind. But usually ruins the relationship with mother if in the enemy sign.

A Rahu or Ketu with this Moon and when their owner is wakri in 6 8 12 house does show some serious bad karma with investments (Sahukari etc) in the past birth. This means, quite a bit of time in this life is spent paying it back by hard work and giving others advice or service about investment, land etc matters. The more the help – earlier the payback. Once the pay-back ends – you start getting the benefits. However, until then one needs to be patient with deceptions & frustrating being taken for a ride by a few folks.

3rd HOUSE

Moon in the 4th house of a Horoscope: Moksha Trikon, Mother, Happiness, Luck with house, vehicles or any damn things in the lifetime; Native country, Village, City etc A very natural house for Moon as Moon owns the 4th Sign i.e. Cancer. The 4th house shows Mother, Inner Happiness, Inner peace, Ability (or lack of) to stay happy and keep surrounding happy, “Sukh” i.e. happiness that comes from house, vehicles, house-hold equipment, Farming, Farms, Luck with source of Water at house/farm. This house also shows ability of the person to collect “close to heart” folks over a lifetime (“SuHrud” House). Natural benefic like Moon, Venus and Jupiter are of GREAT power here especially Moon and Venus. A soul chooses or is forced to be born on 4th Moon if there are great karmic ties with the mother. As Moon is “Matru-Karak” it being in 4th house has very specific ties with the Mom. These ties could be

of karmic reward or karmic burden depending on the state of Moon and also aspects on the 4th house. A very well placed Moon shows the mother as a blessed soul, great help from her and her family and very good health. A troubled Moon shows a very hectic life to Mom. The more the physical hectic life to Mom, more mentally troubled the child is the universal law of Astrology as Moon is Governor of both Mom and Mind/emotions and body-water. A troubled Moon also causes several diseases over a life time regardless of the house but here it also shows Mom’s state of physical and mental health. Bad aspects on this Moon shows health issues to the physical part shown by the sign to both self and mom (say Moon in Scorpio in Jyeshtha aspected by Saturn Mars both could show issues related to internal reprod organs or kidney, In Moola/Sagittarius with legs and so on). When Moon is in this house, Moon Mahadasha of this person is reflected ALMOST “as-is” in lagnesh or Moon Mahadasha of their Mom – i.e. there is some synchronization of these effects of the mother and this person. Or when Saturn is supposed to go over this Moon, the Mother could have Shani antardasha or Shani going over lagnesh or some similar configuration. Moon & also Venus or Jupiter here can make a person a bit lethargic (‘Alsi’ or “Sukhasin”) who likes to spend time I comfort zone: listing to music, watching movies, spending time at homely environments etc. This house is 8th i.e. mrutyu sthan of the Bhagya-shan (the 9th house). You will never hear someone having bhagyoday without moving 9 hours away from current place! J However, these people show good application or utilization of the progress for the human kind or surroundings. They are not the obstacles to progress but rather they know how to use it once it is done. Multiple homes, farms and collection of vehicles is very much likely with a strong Moon, Venus, Jupiter or even well placed Mars here. With Venus and Moon in there, there know how to make the best use of the property too! This house Moon is best to take a franchise of say CCD or Barista etc which are supposed to provide a “very good environment” to people. They are masters at using equipment for comfort. Hell, they can stay happy and create a good environment even in a jail! This house Moon also makes a person a bit God-fearing and overall fearful of almost everything. They lack some extreme intensity etc unless you have a very strong Aries or Scorpio influence (multiple planets). In short, these folks have some emotional intelligence and are in touch & honest with their & other folks’ sentiments just like the Cancer Moon or Sun Sign (July 14 to Aug 14/15). If the 4th house Moon is troubled then using White Pearl / Moti will reduce anxiety and bring inner peace which helps avoid making matters worse! There is no magical effect but certainly a stable & tranquil mind makes lesser mistakes than an insecure, troubled and an angry mind. Just need to make sure you are not lending too much money to your friends or doing stuff for free – as populism increases with this 4th house Moon and you could be taken for a ride due your good nature and desire to “please all”! Moon in the 4th House 1. The fourth house signifies amongst other things, mother, milk, agricultural land, conveyances etc. 2. The Moon will cause the native to achieve king like status because from the 4th house, she will be aspecting the 10th house but for this it must be essential for the Moon to be very strong and beneficial. This can be possible when the Moon is full or is in Cancer or lord of the 5th (Pisces Ascendant), 9th (Scorpio Ascendant) or 10th (Libra Ascendant). Other good results ascribed to the Moon will accrue if the Moon is disposed as mentioned above. 3. The mother will be sickly or the native will be brought up on the breast milk of women other than the mother because Moon as the Karaka of the 4th house causes a dosha called KARAKO BHAVA NASYA.

4. He will be over romantic by nature. 5. He will conduct business across the rivers or oceans as moon is a watery planet.

These people should offer milk instead of water to guests besides which selling of milk or burning of milk for making khoya will bring adverse impacts to the native. He/she should strictly stay away from adultery and should pay services and reverence to the mother and motherly figures and should seek their blessings. These individuals should place a pitcher or vessel or any container filled with milk at home before beginning any auspicious work. The adverse placement of Jupiter in the 10th bhava could be defended by taking the grandfather to pilgrims and worshipping along with him. In the end, the native would have good income as well as good expenditure. fourth moon • will ascend the throne , will own horses , abundance of milk and grains and wealth • mother will be sick • will hanker after other women • will be fond of sweets and other women and reap pleasures • if in own house mother will be longlived • if with malefics .loss of vehicles . strong malefic will increse vehicles • if lord is strong then many vehicles Fourth house: They have a great love for Mother Nature and outdoors.

The native will have milk to drink in abundant quantities but he will be brought up on breast milk of women other than his mother. He will get plentiful good food to eat and be happy but he will be fond of women other than his wife. If the Moon is strong by being full or in his own sign Cancer, the mother will be long lived. She will be short lived if the Moon is weak (that is, waning). The waning Moon will also deprive him of the comforts of conveyances but he will enjoy these comforts if the Moon is strong. If the lord of the 4th is exalted, the native will have the good fortune of owning many kinds of conveyances. OTHER VIEWS Brihat Jataka: The person will be happy.

People with fourth house moon have a strong need to feel a sense of continuity with the good things from the past. They are strongly attached with their past, the place where they grew up, heritage and family traditions. They have an intense interest in antiques, old houses and genealogy.

Moon in the 5th house of a Horoscope: Dharma (Duties) Trikon, Intellect, Kids, Education (Vidyasthan, Buddhi-sthan.) Heart & Back/spine, Inspirational thoughts, Art, Short Writing, Speech, Teaching etc This is majorly known as the “Buddhi-sthan”. If the 10th house is of potential, production and continuous improvement and 12th house is if planning, blue-print, architecting etc – the 5th house is about EXECUTION, Go-Getter attitude, Quick achievements and mostly TACTICAL moves and success. This house shows what person thinks as his person success or a dream for that matter. This house is also about playing hard and also love affairs, drive etc. As per Sanskrit scriptures, this house also shows past good karma but I think, every damn thing in a horoscope shows that and not just the 5th house. Moon in 5th house shows desire for some position in life and of course desire to be part of executing something to get quick success in life. This is not about big long drawn strategy like the 9th house & the 12th house. This house requires immediate action and fulfillment of instant karma. Without a strong 5th house, the 9th house strategy and 12th house vision would never see light of the day. The 5th house brings energy, drive and enthusiasm and optimism to execute thing & take them to completion. Moon here bring some softness to approach which is not the best for sports activities unless strong Mars with it or 3rd to it (7th). This Moon shows interest in novels, reading, short writing (LalitLekhan), Interest in Poetry & drama is also there. Everything that requires some thinking and spending some brain (CPU cycles) power is related to this house. Moon in this house also makes people have fun (changal-wadi). This fun is related to some action i.e. fulfilling practical senses and not the 6th sense or inner peace etc. Shukra 4th would make person to talk opposite sex often and share good heart/soul-mate etc but the 5th one wants commitment beyond that and action too. Similarly, Moon in the 5th house explores avenues for execution of plans and material success. (It is not completely materialistic etc but more say pragmatic).

When Moon is in Capri / Makar (owner of 11th) it shows cash through such activities of poetry, short writing, drama etc. When owner of 10th – i.e. in Aquarius it shows very good teaching or training ability – great for coaching classes. When in Virgo it shows some expression, drama/writing/acting etc and so on.

MOON IN EIGHTH (CHANDRASTAMA) Chandrastama is considered very inauspicious in any horoscope. As the name suggest this happens when the Moon is placed in 8th house from Lagna. Moon is the overall karaka for the natal horoscope as Sun is the Karaka for the prenatal horoscope. This is because after we have taken birth in this world, we start working under the veil of Maya or illusion or apparent contradictions. The body is also nothing but a product of Maya. While we identify ourselves with the body, we forget out true identity as a part of the omnipresent, omniscient and omnipotent Paramatma. The Mind (which is again a product of Maya- Moon) also makes us believe that we are not the soul but the body and gives us our own identity (Ego - feeling of I and You). Thus being a significator of Mind and body, if Moon goes to the house of death or one of the houses Moksha Trikona, it gets a terrible shock while it faces the true identity of our soul and that we all would die one day. Such position of Moon ruins the health of the native and the mind is also adversely affected. Hence, the Moon being the main life giving principle goes to the eighth house of death, she is thoroughly beaten up by the karaka of 8th, the Saturn, the main principle of disease and hard work. This is again interesting to note that Moon gets debilitated in the 8th house of death of Natural Zodiac, which is opposed to the 2nd house of Sustenance. Moon: Sun is the karaka for the sustanance and the willingess to live. Moon is the karaka of the mind also.

What good is the T.V. and electricity if the signal is not there to show you the picture?

Three are lot of theories that moon might have been bought here from another intelligent alien beings since moon is now thought to be hollow with hydraulics installed inside, but these are just theories and speculation like in the science books, that moon was created from a collision. The fact is moon is affecting everything on planet earth, from weather, ocean tides and our minds. In astrology moon controls the mind and moon rules the mind. Do not mistake intelligence vs. mind. Intelligence is controlled by Mercury, while moon controls how we think. When wanting to find out about how someone thinks, the best and easiest thing to do is find out their ‘moon sign’. The moon sign house and sign placement will give 85% of their thinking patter, personality and attitude towards life. Although degrees of the moon, ascendant also do matter, the moon sign still holds a major makeup of a person’s personality. Moon is excelled in 2 degree Taurus, and debilitated in 10 degree Scorpio. This may not be as accurate anymore as it used to be in the ancient times. Weak moon doesn’t mean a weak mind; it just means a different type of wavelength. Moon in Scorpio person is known to be scared of lot of things, and has the fear of unknown, or may love the deep dark secrets of the world, however, since moon is water, and mind, it can be influenced and turned into a different shape even if it’s excelled. If moon is weak in the horoscope, then you must also look at the aspects on the moon, meaning, which planet or any is looking at the moon, which planet is sitting in the same house as the moon or which planets are in 2nd or 12th house from the moon. All these factors will change and mold how a person thinks. If a weak moon is being aspected by Saturn or Rahu, then yes, it’s a very badly damaged moon which can create chaotic thoughts in the person, makes them crazy and sometimes even murders and killers like Casey Anthony. If moon is hemmed between Saturn and Mars in the same house, then it can make a person bi-polar or give them suicidal thoughts. When studying the moon in ones chart, you can not just look at its house, sign and degree placements; you must study all the factors I described above. If a weak moon is stilling in a bad house, but, it is being asepcted by Jupiter sitting in good house, in its excelled or strong position, it will take away over 75% of all bad effects of the moon, perhaps even more, depending up on the degrees of Jupiter. It can also be visa-versa, if a excelled moon is being aspected by Saturn or Rahu, then it will take away majority of the good qualities of the moon. Moon also represent the mother, or a motherly figure, and when badly placed, it creates tension and problem between the native and their mother. Zodiac Sign (1)Aries

Moon Signs - Basic Qualities Aries QUALITIES: Energetic, Dynamic, Assertive, Independent, Courageous, Impulsive. VITAL SIGNS: Arians have to be the best at nearly everything they do else it could ruin their day! • They possess outstanding leadership and pioneering abilities. • They are active and easily bored by routine, hence they must be kept busy at all times. • Arians are fiercely independent. • They also have courage and a fighting spirit that helps overcome hardships. • Arians tend to be impatient with their emotions and often with those of other people since they get in the way of things they want to do. • They are easily consumed by anger and irritability, which they may use as a retort to any threat to their sense of security. Rage can also be a defense especially when they lose control of a situation or feel helpless. However anger is short-lived. • You'll never catch an Arian wallowing in self pity for too long. They may grieve intensely for a brief period, and then, its time to move on. • They are self-assertive which at times is interpreted as aggressiveness. Grumpiness too cannot be ruled out from their scheme of thoughts. • They can be aggressive about getting their needs met — at times even accused of selfishness. • Owing to a sense of deprivation during their growing up years, helplessness in others may make them angry. If you whine, they'll growl. But if you need someone to confide in, this is the person to speak with!

Moon in Aries An Aries-Moon produces subconscious reactions in your nature that are highly assertive. You respond to life as though it was an adventure. This Moon produces one who is open to new ideas and one who is highly self-motivated. You have a strong underlying drive for success that is associated with your emotional nature. You tend to feel with your ego, as your feelings tend to compete with your ego much of the time. Your senses are quick. So much so, you may seem pushy at times. Your temperament can be uneven, liable to flare ups at the slightest provocation. You make quick decisions, trusting your sense perceptions, and acting immediately without reflection. You jump into action from your quick feelings instead of from reason. You have an active mind, and what you are thinking is often quickly verbalized. When this emotional side of your nature is in charge, you tend to say and do things with little forethought and planning. With Moon in Aries you're enthusiastic and naïve, and each day becomes a new adventure. You express a joy of living and people are attracted to you for it. Even so, you have a bit of the rogue and rascal in you. You can be emotionally detached from the people around you, somewhat reluctant to ask for help, even when you need it. The nature that has developed and the habits learned make you very independent. You feel with your ego. You don't much care for advice, and rarely follow the advice you get. There is much in your instinctive nature that is original and restless. Sometimes you get too assertive, and those that know you well realize you have a quick temper. You aren't one who always plays by the rules, as you are something of a renegade. To a degree, Moon in Aries hides a sense of insecurity behind an independent and assertive exterior. Extremely competitive, you love a challenge from a worthy opponent. You tend to see just about everything as a challenge and everyone as an opponent. It is hard for you to give in on anything and compromise is generally an option you don't exercise. Intensely individualistic, it is hard to see someone else's point of view. Oddly enough, when it comes to a romantic partner, you'll insist on someone who is not shy about standing up to you. Moon in Aries: Moon in this sign creates a sense of adventure and assertiveness towards life. It awards one with energetic disposition. Ambition and fierce drive are the constant characteristics of the person with this combination in the natal chart. Negatively, impulsiveness or rash behaviour is apparent.

Before anything else there has to be action, some form of instant physical gratification. As lunar Fire sign personalities, those with moon in Aries go after what they want (or think they want) with passion and energy. They can soon lose interest in relationships with people who don't demonstrate the same passionate enthusiasm. Their adventurous spirit makes it difficult for them to settle down and accept the responsibilities and drudgery of daily routine. On a short-term basis they can become passionately involved with people and projects, but long-term commitments can make them feel trapped. Restless and impatient, they have quick, sometimes volatile, tempers. Fortunately, as quick as they are to get angry, they are just as quick to forget the incident that prompted it. Aries moon personalities are dedicated to getting their own way, finding one means or another to accomplish their goals. They are meant to be the master of their own success or failure in life. Some of them relish this challenge, while others are all too willing to blame their mistakes on everyone else. Their easily aroused emotions can be dangerously misguided, especially when they act with undue haste, aggressiveness, or anger. Their dynamic self-assertiveness can make them resentful of all authority but their own, and aggressiveness can make it difficult for them to take direction or advice from others. They can become self-indulgent, overconfident and just plain foolhardy, or, they can turn into inspired leaders, and become tireless in their efforts to accomplish things in which they passionately believe. The spirit of their generosity can sometimes be overshadowed by careless disregard for the feelings of others. Women with Aries moon can often be unflatteringly aggressive in romance and other situations that require a subtle approach.

Moon in Virgo: You are very sensitive, cautious, and perhaps shy about showing others your feelings. Though you may love and care for someone a great deal, you rarely express those feelings openly and freely. You are perhaps more mental than emotional, at least outwardly. Very often your love for someone will be expressed by trying to help them, doing something tangible to benefit them, or serving them in some way. It may be difficult for you to receive warmth, affection, or appreciation, for you often feel that you don't really deserve it or that "they don't really mean it". You can therefore seem rather cool and aloof, much more so than you feel. At times you can be so critical of others that you drive them and their love away. You need to learn how to forgive yourself and others when you or they do not measure up to perfection. This need of yours for perfection can be quite stifling to your own happiness. You tend to be industrious, trustworthy, intuitive, reserved, practical and down-to-earth, especially where emotions are concerned. Intelligence, usefulness and fastidiousness are important themes. You have the ability to analyze people and situations and, then, find the quickest, most efficient method of accomplishing whatever is needed. This may make you an excellent housekeeper, nurse and/or manager. You must, however, watch your tendency to nit-pick or to become overly fussy concerning small details.

They are highly emotional and intense and this trend permeates every aspect of theirlives. • Most Scorpios could go through trying childhoods and come out unscathed like steel, a quality which sets them apart from the rest. Folks belonging to this sign could turn out to be loners, overtly suspicious or vindictive. • Scorpios prefer to be in control of the situation at all times. • They seem to mourn the loss of innocence and childhood almost throughout their lives and appear enveloped in a pall of gloom, to such an extent that they are prone to alienating themselves from the rest of the world. • They are perennially seeking an antidote for their grief.Star quirks Scorpios tend to be distrustful and even vindictive due to the trauma they may have experienced in childhood. They are power mongers! However this is not in the quest of wealth, but rather security. They interpret wealth as power and power in turn leads to greater control over one's life (which is what they seek the most). WORK-WISE: Scorpios excel at research. They also fare well as therapist and occultists. Owing to their resilience of the spirit, they make good councilors too.

There is a tendency to brood and to control others through subtle means, and a definite motive behind every action even though it may not be apparent to others. Moon in Scorpio: The Moon in Scorpio has the key word Ulterior Motivation. With the Moon in Scorpio, depth, passion and intensity imbue the relationships of people. They know no fear when it comes to choosing who is in their life. With a strong moral conscience, the strong intuition and psychic abilities of the natives allow to see below the surface.

The presence of Moon in Scorpio would make these tough personals soft and calm from inside which in other words makes them vulnerable for which they need to be enclosed in a positive enclosure to keep them positive. MOON IN SCORPIO Keywords: Brooding, Intense, Motivated, Dominating, Spiteful, Loyal, Creative, Suspicious Those born with the moon in a Water sign need to establish solid emotional commitments. Before considering the practicality of a situation, and before objectively examining the facts, they react emotionally. They are highly intuitive, though at times, it is deceptively self-serving. As lunar Water sign personalities, those with moon in Scorpio are primarily led by their emotions. If they are subjected to emotional manipulation or deprivation in childhood, they are not going to reveal their vulnerability by openly expressing their feelings or needs. If they are raised in a nonthreatening environment, they will probably emerge as mild mannered, easy to get along with adults. There is no denying the potential for hedonism, possessiveness, jealousy, and revenge in these individuals but not all of them give in to such destructive energies. Those who do are likely to suffer accordingly, reaping their rewards in this life rather than the next. Scorpio moon personalities do not want to be rushed or forced into making a commitment. Once they make an emotional commitment to a project, idea, or relationship, they tenaciously pursue and hang on to it. Their emotional nature is accompanied by strong will power and amazing ability to overcome adversity. Instinctive understanding of human motivation and behavior gives them an emotional advantage, a conscious or subconscious way to control themselves as well as others. The mistake many of them make is being so intent on controlling others, that they never learn to effectively control themselves. Their stubborn nature makes it difficult for others to convince them to change their opinions and behavior or to break undesirable habits. Women with Scorpio moon are apt to be shrewd, and when they have high intelligence, it is likely to be brilliant. Their ambition is not so much a matter of wanting great wealth for its own sake as it is their desire to gain power. Men with Scorpio moon can be driven to distraction by situations that offer no solution, and by people who refuse to tell them anything. Their emotional nature is well suited to deal with economic, human, or natural resources. Moon in Scorpio: This is a tricky placement. As most of you know, Moon in Scorpio is the Moon’s debilitated position. Why is that so? Let us look at it from a house connotation point of view. From Taurus to Scorpio there are 7 houses, so this will give the Moon in Scorpio 7th house connotations. Thus, the Moon placed here tends the emotional peace and satisfaction to rely upon other people, especially the romantic partner. Whenever the emotional peace and identity of a person is dependent upon other people it is naturally subject to extreme highs and lows. Even if the

other person is putting on a good face to the Moon in Scorpio native, and the other person does not really like the Moon in Scorpio native, the Moon in Scorpio can feel the person’s apathy and dislike. Consequently, their mental peace is disturbed. This is what makes the Moon in Scorpio so vulnerable to the emotions of others. Moon in Scorpio also has 9th house connotations. Seen from this point of view, one can see why the Moon would be debilitated here. The 9th house has to do with roaming and searching, it has to do with religion, teachers, and one’s purpose. It is a ‘doing’ house, but the Moon is not a doer, it is a receiver. The Moon does not like to roam, it likes to stay home and feel secure, thus Moon in Scorpio derives comfort and emotional peace from long distance travel, religion and purposeful action.

He has a yellow body and is engaged in cruel deeds.

The mental and emotional focus may be on sensual things or on sex or death. You find it difficult to trust people as you are suspicious of their inner thoughts and plans.

These Sagittarius would seem more childish and sweeter.

They are open and honest with a tendency to be too candid at times, especially in situations that require a more diplomatic approach. Impatience can be the biggest stumbling block to success.

themselves. Fear of rejection is strong. Anything vague or unspecified in a relationship, whether business or personal, makes them feel insecure. They must know where they stand.

The Moon in Aquarius favors all forms of humanitarian, political, and educational pursuits, exploration in all fields, authorship, and astrology too. Moon in Aquarius zodiac | Chandra in Kumbh rashi The placement of Moon in Aquarius confinement keeps the Moon upon a moderate dominating platter which does not over lap the shades of the ruling planet Saturn neither it stays lurked. The influence of the generous Moon in Aquarius would enhance the humanitarian shade in the persona of the natives and would make them quiet more unbiased than the rest of the Aquarius individuals. The natives of this combination would be quiet lesser practical towards life which would be at a balanced level. The presence of Moon in Aquarius would enhance the purity of their inner side besides which it would bestow them the blend of emotions due to which they could be seen quiet more attached to those around than the rest of unattached Aquarius natives and would make them stay in some of the confinements. On the other hand, this could also make them sensitive as leading them towards unbalanced state of mind. MOON IN AQUARIUS Keywords: Sociable, Perverse, Independent, Altruistic, Demanding, Unflappable Those born with the moon in an Air sign usually respond to situations in a way they think should fit the facts, that is, they act in a way they think others expect them to act, or they imitate the same behavior as others. This gives them the appearance of emotional coolness or non-involvement. Before turning a situation into a physical experience, and before considering the stability or practicality of the thing, or even how they may really feel about it, they tend to do and say what seems appropriate as if it were not really happening to them. In spite of what appears to be their analytical detachment, most of them are loving and loyal in relationships. As lunar Air sign personalities, those with moon in Aquarius can be very sympathetic without being sentimental. Rarely beset with moodiness themselves, they often fail to pay attention to it in others, giving the impression they don't care. Idealistic, optimistic and friendly, they are unbiased and liberal in their treatment of people in general. Highly social, they attract friends and acquaintances from all walks of life, social and cultural backgrounds. They have difficulty focusing attention on just one person. As far as they are concerned "the more the merrier". Despite whatever eccentricity shows

up in their personality, they are emotionally stable. Something in their emotional make-up gives them remarkable ability to calm those who are mentally disturbed or hysterical. When disappointed or unhappy, they focus on their activities and chores with such aplomb that others may not even realize they are upset. Aquarius moon personalities do not want to be rushed or forced into making an emotional commitment. Once they make a commitment to an idea, project or relationship, they are tenaciously loyal and dedicated. Strong individualism and an eccentric nature can make marriage difficult. Marriage or raising a family rarely changes their established way of thinking and doing things. Though remaining independent in opinions and attitudes, more often than not, their attitudes and opinions turn out to be pretty traditional. Women with Aquarius moon are often better friends and companions to their children than traditional nurturing mothers. Their interest in business or social affairs can distract them from ordinary domestic life. They may experience sorrow and disappointment in female relationships. Men with Aquarius moon display little jealousy or possessiveness in romantic relationships, a tendency that is sometimes interpreted by their partners as lack of love. Pursuing ideals and mental endeavors are often more important to them than amassing material wealth.

You find security in dealing with and working with groups of people, especially in endeavors that benefit the majority. You are inventive, original, and progressive in thought and want to make the world a better place to live in.

You need freedom and independence in your relationships with others. You back away at times if they get too close. You very much hate a partner who is jealous and possessive. You like to experiment and play the field. There is small affection for the conventional and the traditional. You tend to be friendly, intuitive, humane, progressive and independent. You are broad-minded with a desire to investigate all knowledge. You may have difficulty in understanding the emotional needs of others. At times you express unusual ideas simply to shock or surprise others out of their lethargy or just to see what kind of a reaction you'll get.

The Effects of the Moon in Different Signs The relationship between planets, the signs and the houses they are positioned in and how they aspect each other plays an important part in determining a person’s mental and psychological make up and which aspects of his/her life will be affected adversely or positively. Astrologers divide the month in to two fortnights-the bright half when the Moon is waxing and the dark half when it is on the wane. The lustrous Moon is considered strong and auspicious, the waning Moon is considered weak and evil.

Moon in different zodiacs Moon has given a prominent role in Vedic astrology. Moon is one of the three ascendant in Vedic astrology so The good placement and it's power and dignity is very important for realizing good results in life. Apart from Ascendant chart, moon chart is also very important in making the accurate prediction. There are many important yogas formed by moon in a birth chart. Moon represents the mental and psychological side of the person. It governs mental peace and happiness.Moon governs over the formations of emotional appearance of a person which comprises his or her natural attitude, memories, interests, moods, vision towards and ability to adapt in the surroundings. To get mental happiness in life, good placement of moon is very important. Here in this section, we would present the results of placement of Moon in different zodiacs: Moon signs The Moon represents the more impressionist side and the inner feelings and emotions portraying us from within. It indicates how we express our nurturing instinct and the style of immediate emotional-feeling response to experiences.With an altogether mysterious side, Moon shows our hidden aspects. The Moon goes through all the Zodiac within its 28 day cycle and enters a new zodiac sign approximately every 2 1/2 days. The position of the transiting moon (moon's current position) helps determine the general moods of people. The moon sign positions greatly influence the outcomes of events involving human interactions. When the Moon is in certain zodiac, the characteristics of that zodiac sign color the moon's expression. The moon rules over issues related to family and interaction among family members, social gatherings and general proceedings in the home environment. All the above incidents are greatly affected by moon's sign position. The moon sign, when taken in combination with the Sun sign, tells about a person and is an essential part of learning about yourself. The best way to find out about the moon sign is to visit an astrologer for a private reading.

MOON SIGNS AND PERSONALITY There are two reasons why some people don't seem to fit the descriptive characteristics of their astrological sign. In the first instance, they may not really understand the entire astrological description of their sign and are basing their opinion only on a few generalities. A more thorough explanation often reveals that most individuals do demonstrate the inherent characteristics of their sun sign. In the second instance, astrological interpretation is based on knowing the complete horoscope of an individual which indicates where all the celestial bodies were positioned at the time of birth. It will reveal how strongly an individual exhibits the traits associated with his or her sun sign. After the sun's sign, the most important position is the sign in which the moon was located at birth. For example, let's say at the time of birth the sun was in Aries. The moon may also be in Aries at birth but it may just as easily be in any of the other eleven astrological signs. The astrological sign position of the moon has an important bearing on personality and temperament from an emotional point of view. It describes how a person will emotionally handle the characteristics and traits indicated by the position of the sun at birth. Many calendars and almanacs list the daily lunar positions.

The Moon through the Signs The Moon houses the Manas (the perceptual mind), the Jiva (the living being as a separate entity) and the Ahamkara (the ego). Since the sense of ourselves comes from the Moon and all of our perceptions come through the Moon, it is no wonder that the Moon is the most important planet. The Moon takes the light from the Sun (the Soul) and waxes and wanes, reflecting the fact that change is an inevitable process of life here on Earth. A well placed Moon in a horoscope can carry a person a long way in life because it is one’s attitude about one’s environment. A beat up Moon can give a gloomy outlook and give psychological maladjustments. The Moon is the emotions and the receptive part of us. As human beings with bodies, we all can only be receptive to what the senses bring us. Therefore, the Moon is as important in males as it is in females. THE MOON AND VEDIC ASTROLOGY The Moon is favourite of poets and lovers, main interest of scientists and very important in astrology. The Moon is supposed to be queen of the planetary kingdom as Sun is believed as a king. The Moon is the smallest planet. It is smaller than earth and 250,000 miles away from us. Its effect on earth is immense. The sexual urge in human-beings and animals is warmly connected with the different phases of the Moon. In fact, the significance of the Moon is so great that it is called Chakshusi (eye-sight). The Sun and Moon are the two eyes of the universe. The Moon is very important in Hindu Vedic Astrology and it is used as an ascendant, and all transit predictions are made from the position of the Moon. The Moon’s natal position decides the planetary periods and is a very influential predictive system which other astrological systems do not have. The symbol of the Moon is the most mysterious and the planet itself is not less so. The stability and growth of a human being largely depends upon one’s psycho-mental food and happiness. The Moon symbol in a very simple manner shows the supernatural nature of the planet and its relationship with the Sun. The Sun is the soul of the Universe. The Moon does not sparkle with its own light but imitates the life-giving energy flowing from the Sun. The Sun gives life to the whole planetary system, while the Moon specially directs life to our globe. The Moon is a reflecting medium only so it is incapable of

causing any real harm. The Sun represents the positive, or yang polarisation, the father belief, whereas the Moon represents the yin polarisation, the mother belief. It is inactive, womb-like, caring; consolidate the growth of its offspring, takes interest in every action of her child. The qualities of the Moon are capable of producing good or bad depending on its associations with other planets. Astrologically, the Moon reinforces all planets related with it except Saturn, which oppresses the growing life-energy at every level. The Moon reflects the joy and sharing with peace of mind, however an afflicted Moon indicates the neglect and removal you experience with losing peace. The Moon is the soul of our heart which experiences through the sense mind and body, the most easily hurt and the most vulnerable. The influence of the Moon in different signs as calculated by Vedic astrology may be as follows: CONDITIONS THAT WEAKEN THE MOON •When two or more people in a family born in the same Nakshatraa. •Moon weak in Shad Bal. •When Moon is placed in Lagna. •Moon anguish from Kemdrum Yoga as there is no planet in front or behind Moon. •Malefic planets in front and behind of Moon. •Moon near to Sun in 6, 8, 12 houses. •Moon is close to Rahu, or birth during a lunar eclipse. •Moon in Scorpio, which is its Neech sign. •Birth on the fifteenth lunar date of the dark fortnight. •Birth in Gand Mool Nakshatras REMEDIES FOR WEAK MOON If Moon is weak in your horoscope, and you are facing its unpromising influence, you should follow some astrological remedies to reduce the negative effects of weak moon. •Donation with a pure heart to minimize the evil influence of Moon on your life can reduce your problems. •Donate white clothes, milk, silver, rice, etc. offer water to thirsty people. Donation of Moon’s gemstones is also very good. •Donations should be done on Mondays and time should be evening hours. Donations should be given to women as it is considered good. •Keep fast on Mondays. Feed a cow with wheat-bread and crows with rice mixed with sugar. Serve milk dessert to poor people and Brahmins. •Take care of your mother and other elderly female persons. •Avoid taking milk every day. Stop wearing white clothes, and perfumes. REMEDY FOR WEAK MOON DUE TO SAME NAKSHATRA BIRTH If a close relation in a family like parents and children or siblings are born in the same Nakshatra (any two relatives), then due to weak moon limited fortune and reduced vitality is caused for both. Choose a Monday within three or fourth days of the full Moon day. A Monday falling on the full Moon day is better for this remedy. The Tithi or the lunar date should not be a Rikt Tithi. The first Tithi of the Shukl Paksh (Bright Fortnight) is called Nanda. The successive tithes are called Bhadra, Jaya, Rikta and Poorna. This arrangement of lunar dates repeats itself thrice.Make a place for a Yagya or homa and put a pitcher of water in the North east part of this place. Cover the pitcher with a new piece of red cloth.

Keep 27 small mounds representing 27 Nakshatras. Start the ritual by chanting the appropriate Mantras for all nine planets. Then recite the Mantras for individual Nakshatras starting from Ashwini and ending with Revati. This is followed by 108 offerings of Ghee (clarified butter) and other Havan Samagri along with reciting of the Mantras connected to one’s birth Nakshatra. This will remove the problem caused by the birth in the same Nakshatra. Keep the 27 mounds outside for birds etc. Sprinkle the water of the pitcher over the people involved and also all over the house. Pour remaining water in a Tulsi plant (or any other vegetation). Take out some of the ashes and keep aside by the affected people in a safe place. Bury the rest of the ashes. You should seek the help of an expert astrologer if you are facing problems due to weak moon. Have faith in Vedic Astrology and make your life more beautiful and peaceful.

Moon : Its exaltation sign is Taurus and debilitated sign is Scorpio. The degree of exaltation is 3 degrees. The moon represents water and indicates the water element in general in the chart. Taurus is a fixed sign with earth element. When water flows through earth it makes the earth fertile; fixed sign indicates nurturing. Fertile earth nurtures all planets and all living organisms. Fixed types are firm ,stable and determined about who they are and what they do. Exalted Moon in Taurus brings the best of lunar qualities in the person. They seek balance and harmony in individual relationships and in their organizations of immediate environment. It gives a strong sense of form and beauty, the best of lunar qualities It can make them very romantic and devotional and are often votaries of the idea that all is love manifesting the highest qualities of Venus, the ruler of Taurus combined with the highest qualities of Moon. Moon gets debilitated in Scorpio which is a fixed sign but with water element. This is kind of excess water like flood which destroys all the crop. Being fixed sign the water does not flow. It gets stagnated. In a person this creates excess of unbalanced lunar energies of past baggage of emotion and feelings. Afflictions to the moon can show personality disorders, difficulties in relating to other people and emotional disturbances. It causes lunacy ,as our language reflects in extreme circumstances specially if it conjuncts with lunar nodes in Scorpio. However, there is an exception, Scorpio being ruled by Mars is also a highly mystical sign and can be a vessel for strong psychic powers, occult etc. Mind is purely dependent consciousness, it has no real nature of its own. As such, it can function in one of the two ways. It can reflect inner nature of things or their outer appearance. If there are favorable Jupiter/Venus or Saturn in the chart, Moon in Scorpio can actually

harness the excess water for high spiritual and psychic development and is often found in the charts of highly evolved Yogi and Tantrics.

How to spot problems caused by weak planets and eliminate them - Moon Moon becomes Neech (loses her goodness) in Scorpio. If this is not cancelled by the placement of other planets in the horoscope, there will be problems connected to all areas of a person’s life which are connected to Moon. Let us take a look at what Moon signifies. A study of the famous Vedic astrology tomes tells us that Moon represents the mind, heart, mother, beauty, saturation of blood, Blood Plasma, young women, perfumes, fickle mindedness, watery substances, lakes and seas. She has a very lustful temperament. The organs of the body ruled by Moon are the arteries, nerves, brain, fat, stomach, uterus, bladder, breasts, ovaries and reproductive organs. Moon has a phlegmatic and windy nature. Strength of Moon Moon has two sources of strength. One is the strength by virtue of her placement with respect to Sun. She is strongest when diametrically opposite to Sun. This is the full Moon day when she is brightest and most beneficial. She is at her weakest when she is at the same degree as Sun. This corresponds to the no Moon day and Moon does not have any strength to do any good. The second source of Moon’s strength is by virtue of her placement in her sign of exaltation. Moon becomes Uchha (exalted) when at 2°-3° of Taurus in Capricorn Navansh. She has her highest strength here. Moon is exceptionally strong when she gets exalted on a full Moon day. Such a Moon brings wealth and happiness of every kind. At the other end of the spectrum of her strength, Moon gives utterly unfavorable results if she becomes Neech in Scorpio on a no Moon day. Generally however Moon enjoys varying degree of strength between these two extremes and an accurate assessment of her power is very important. Affliction of Moon and its outcome If Moon is Neech and/or is placed with her arch enemies like Rahu and Saturn, she becomes bereft of her capacity to give beneficial results. Rahu and Ketu are planets that cause separation and their association with Moon disconnects her from her beneficial results. All things mentioned above that Moon signifies also experience decrease in their strength. Moon does not give good results in 6,8,12 houses and here too the results are similar to those mentioned above. Moon represents infancy. If Moon is very weak, there is a danger to life at a very early age. Moon also represents wealth and if weak tends to destroy it. An important point needs to be mentioned here. If the Moon is weak, then the lord of the Rashi (sign) where Moon is placed also needs to be

strengthened. This is because the placement of Moon in a Rashi establishes a connection between Moon and the planet who owns that Rashi. Linked weaknesses A typical case in point will be a horoscope where Moon is Neech in Scorpio and does not attain Neech Bhang (cancellation of debilitation). In such a case if Mars is also weak due to conjunction or aspect of Saturn, Rahu etc or is placed Neech in Cancer, mere strengthening of Moon will not prove beneficial. Mars needs to be fortified as well. A house standing on weak foundations is unstable. In this case, it will be beneficial to wear a large round pearl in a silver ring on the little finger, and a Blood red Coral in a silver ring on the ring finger of the right hand. Mind and Moon Moon represents the mind. That is why on full Moon days, the incidents of insanity in mental asylums show a steep rise. Rahu represents corruption, materialism low thinking, and darkness. When Moon and Rahu are together, it always indicates that a snag exists in the smooth functioning of mental processes. This combination signifies imaginary fears, depression and psychosis of one kind or another. Here too the Moon needs to be fortified and Rahu propitiated through Chants, fasting and donations. If this combination exists in a horoscope, the condition of Mercury and the fourth lord should be investigated thoroughly. If they too are afflicted by Rahu and Saturn, Insanity is likely as in such cases mind and intellect are both corrupted. Moon and eyesight Moon represents the left eye, and weakness of Moon results in weak eyesight there. The remedy again is a pearl in a silver ring. Sun represents the right eye and his strength should also be assessed. The lord of the second house rules over the left eye while that of the twelfth over the right. The weakness and affliction to these lords has a direct bearing on eyesight. If all four factors are strong, the vision is perfect. Weakness of one or more planets gives varying extents of vision impairment. Moon and childbearing As mentioned above, Moon rules over ovaries and uterus. A weak Moon therefore causes infertility. That weakness, if severe will also cause loss of sexual desire. In all cases of childlessness, it is extremely important to assess the strength of Moon and the other two significators of children, Jupiter for male and Venus for female children. Individual cases For Pisces Lagna, (Ascendant) Moon becomes the lord of the fifth house. If the birth is on a no Moon day (Amavasya), and Mars and/or Ketu influence the fifth house, the chances of survival of children become weak. Self abortion is often a problem in such cases. The remedy as always is to wear a pearl in a ring. For Cancer Lagna, a weak Moon in the sixth house causes shortened life. Moon should be strengthened and the afflicting planet if any propitiated. For Aries Ascendant, a weak Moon in the eighth house causes all sorts of problem and should be fortified. Kemdrum Yog Kemdrum Yog is created when in a horoscope, there is no planet in the second and twelfth house from Moon. It is a bad yoga and brings about poverty, obstacles and low level existence in life. Usually the yoga gets cancelled by other factors in the chart. However if that does not happen, remedial steps need to be taken. Birth in the same Nakshatra

A new born who shares Janma Nakshatra with either a parent or another sibling, causes obstacles for self as well as for the person with the same Nakshatra. Usually, this results in impeded progress, reduced happiness and shortened lifespan. Pacification is done through Mantra and Havan. Remedial measures Our forefathers have left us a treasure trove of Sanskrit Stotra and Mantra for every occasion and every problem. One of the best is the Shiv Stuti given in Rudra Yamal. OMKARAM BINDU SAMYUKTAM NITYAM DHAYANTI YOGIN HA. . . . . This must be immediately followed by 108 chants of OM NAMAH SHIVAYE.

Signs of a weak Moon in the Chart Signs of weak Moon include ungroundedness, emotional instability, anxiety, inability to relate to other people, fear of intimacy, lack of friendliness and weak emotions. The individual will lack selfcontentment and find it difficult to stand the stress and strain of human contact. There will be emotional moodiness, depression and negativity. The mind may be cloudy, dull or disturbed. The mother may also suffer or not prosper in life. Physical factors include anemia, low body fluids, possible dehydration, lack of body weight, dry skin, constipation, and weak lungs and kidneys. There will be difficulty withstanding dryness and heat. For women, there may be infertility and menstrual difficulties. Astrological Factors The Moon is weak when waning, particularly when new, when in its fall (in Scorpio), when aspected by malefic planets (like Saturn, Rahu, Ketu, or Mars), or when placed in difficult houses (like the sixth, eight or twelfth). The aspects of Rahu and Saturn are the most difficult, particularly if not compensated by an aspect from Jupiter or Jupiter’s location in an angle from the Moon. The Moon is generally a benefic planet, but specifically so for Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces ascendants. For these ascendants, regimes for the Moon can increase its positive powers of emotional strength, friendliness and love. Gem

Best for the Moon is a Pearl. It should be of at least two carats in size, set in silver, and worn on the ring finger of the left (or right) hand. Natural pearls are preferable. Cultured pearls can be used as substitutes, as can moonstone, but these should be larger in size, three or five carats, or worn as large pendants or strands. Such gems should be put on first on a Monday, when the Moon is waxing, preferably when full, and in good signs like Taurus, Cancer, Pisces, or in friendly signs, and not conjunct or strongly aspected by malefics. When to be careful wearing a gem for the Moon Gems for the Moon should not usually be worn when there is phlegm, edema, congestion, or when overweight (high Kapha). Psychological factors are strong emotions, sentimentality, greed, attachment, or excess involvement with family or society. Astrological factors are the Moon is a malefic lord (lord of houses like the third, six and eight, as for Taurus, Aquarius or Sagittarius ascendants). When such a malefic lord, the Moon can cause problems even when full. Colors The best color for the Moon is white. White shades of other colors can be helpful, like white shades of blue and green, or pink, but the shades should also be somewhat bright. Dark and cloudy colors should be avoided, particularly gray and black, as well as too much red or fiery colors. Overly bright or very transparent colors should also not be used. Herbs Good herbs for the Moon are demulcent and tonic herbs like marshmallow, slippery elm, comfrey root, Solomon’s seal, shatavari, white musali, bala, and rehmannia, particularly taken in milk decoctions. Fragrances of white flowers like jasmine, gardenia, lotus, and lily are good, as is sandalwood oil. These can be applied to the heart or to the third eye. Mantras The main name mantra is OM SOMAYA NAMAYA. Also used is Chandra, hence, OM CHANDRAYA NAMAHA. The seed mantra is SOM (pronounced as spelled). CHAM (pronounced chum) can also be used, as can SHRIM (shreem), the main mantra of the Goddess. These mantras should be repeated on Mondays, or in the evening, particularly around the time of the full Moon. Deities The Moon relates to the Goddess, to the cosmic feminine generally, and to the Divine Mother. She is the great Goddess, Mahadevi, the consort of Shiva as Mahashakti. She has many forms in different spiritual traditions like Parvati, Lakshmi, Tara, Kwan Yin, Isis, and the Virgin Mary. We should meditate upon the Goddess in our hearts, as within the lunar orb (in the full Moon), or as wearing the crescent Moon on her head, particularly on the day of the full Moon. Yoga Lunar energy is usually increased by devotional practices (Bhakti Yoga). We should meditate upon a form of the Divine, particularly of the Goddess. We should strive to develop more peace, faith, receptivity, openness, and surrender to the Divine or truth. Usually, lunar energy allies us with spiritual or religious tradition or group, but we should apply our faith with openness and truth, not with emotional attachment. Life Style Lunar energy is increased by an atmosphere of peace, faith, devotion, caring, and nurturing. It may help to be part of some service work.

supportive environment of family and friends. They should also consider how they can help others in a nurturing way. They should mingle with others and open their hearts to a community.
