As the Sun signifies the soul,
the moon signifies one's perception
and feelings, which in effect is the inner
mind. The moon represents the emotional
mind, not the functional analytical mind - that
is the job of Mercury. The Moon
signifies our perceptions and determines
right or wrong perceptions that we have in our
life. Emotional stability or instability
emanates from a well placed Moon or badly placed Moon in
the birth chart. Sensitivity, caring
and nurturing ability come also from the Moon.
After the ascendant, the
moon is the most important factor in the
Vedic birth chart, followed by the Sun.
The moon is subtle and sensitive.
It is nourishing and caring
and therefore why it signifies our Mother
in the chart. The moon represents a person's creativity,
intuition and gives one the ability
to care for people and work in service oriented jobs,
such as nursing, catering, healing work
or helping the needy. These people would
have a well-placed moon in their chart.
On the other hand, a weak moon can cause
mental disorders, weakness of the lungs,
and a weak immune system, making the person
prone to colds and fevers.
The moon can be erratic as it changes
into various signs and houses every two and a half days;
therefore suffering occurs through emotional inconsistencies.
When the Moon is weak or badly placed in
the chart, it can bring about loneliness,
sadness and insecurity. The Moon can make us run
wild with imagination and become paranoid especially
if Rahu is aspecting it. The Moon
needs the association with other planets
whether it is conjoined, aspected, or sitting in
neighborly houses, the company is welcome. The
Moon that is isolated in a chart or distant
from other planets feels exactly
that, alone.
The Moon excels when working
with people in a harmonious way. The well-placed
moon in the first house makes a person attractive with wide
open eyes, long dark hair and a pale complexion.
There is a tendency towards water retention
and individuals who have a weak or afflicted moon
in their chart at times carry extra weight.
