It symbolises our subconscious mind and reveals our emotional habits, needs, and instincts. Read along to learn more about the powers and secrets of Moon astrology!
Before we get into the significance, characteristics, and benefits of Chandra astrology, let's take a look at the special features of the planet in the table below:
| Key Characteristics | Description |
|---|---|
| Time Period | 27 days |
| Enemy Planets | None |
| Friendly Planets | Sun and Mercury |
| Ruling Deity | Lord Shiva |
| Exalted and Debilitated Sign | Taurus and Scorpio |
| Associated Colour | White, Silver and Soft Blues |
It takes 27 days for the Moon to travel through all twelve zodiac signs. Placed in different zodiacs, the Moon can bring different results and impacts. So, let us see how the planet of emotions influences our lives by sitting in different zodiac signs.
When the Moon(water planet) is placed in Aries (fire element), it creates conflicting situations, making a person hot-headed. Being controlled by others makes a person with the Moon in Aries emotionally vulnerable and upset. Health issues such as headaches, low iron levels, blood pressure, and head injuries become common.
The exaltation of the Moon in Taurus leads to material success and happiness. People born under this placement develop an emotional and sympathetic factor from early childhood. Regarding their social life, they prefer fewer strong bonds instead of having a big social circle. At last, a stable career or business is their first priority on the professional front.
The Moon in Gemini creates conflicting situations due to the rivalry between Mercury (Gemini’s ruling planet) and the Moon. Natives with this placement are always confused about whether to prefer emotions or logic when making a decision. However, their love for multitasking causes concentration issues.
The Moon's placement in Cancer revolves around the mother, homeland, or country. People with Cancer moon feel safe and secure in their homes with family members and loved ones. Speaking of family members, these individuals share a close and emotional bond with their mother. In romantic life, they may prefer an established or mature life partner.
The Moon's placement in Leo can be considered dominating. In fact, leading others, grabbing attention, and being extraordinary define their personality perfectly. In partnerships, these people prefer an old partner and get married very late or face a delay in marriage. However, on the work front, they achieve success in professions related to entertainment and art.
Being a perfectionist, a person with a Moon in Virgo pays attention to finer details. This obsession with putting everything in place sometimes suppresses their emotions. But on the other hand, the very same placement gives Virgos excellent communication, technical and presentation skills.
The placement of the Moon in Libra makes a person desirous of material comfort. In their personal lives, these people worship loyalty, honesty and commitment. Being surrounded by their favourite people is their favourite thing. In work life, their role could appear as of a team player and negotiator.
The debilitated Moon causes a strained or difficult relationship with the mother. The Moon in Scorpio makes a person bold, confident, and courageous in every aspect of life. However, on the downside, the Moon placed in Scorpio can make an individual secretive and obsessive. These traits create problems in their personal and romantic relationships.
In Sagittarius, the Moon revolves around high morals, religion, and philosophical beliefs. This is why, from early childhood, these individuals are interested in gaining spiritual and religious knowledge as much as they can. However, one negative factor of this planetary placement is that it makes a person egoistic, arrogant, and rude.
Insecurities, doubts, and confusion wrap up the childhood of a person with the Moon in Capricorn. This is why, in adult life, they become result-oriented and cautious about every small thing. ‘Less is more’ is the basic life principle followed by these individuals, especially in the financial aspects. They are always careful with money and possessions.
In Aquarius, the placement of the Moon brings detachment from the mother. So, in adult life, individuals lack emotional bonds in relationships and push people away. Despite the relationship problems, they desire a long-lasting and happy relationship. Health-wise, they suffer from cardiovascular disease, alcohol and smoking addiction.
The Moon's placement in Pisces brings health issues to the mother. These individuals' caring, empathetic, and understanding natures make it easier for them to work in professional sectors such as social service, nursing, counselling, or healthcare. But being a water planet, they can't separate themselves from daydreaming and imagination.
In this section, let us explore how the characteristics of the Moon can shape various aspects of our lives. Below is a detailed discussion on the impact of Planet Moon on our love, career, health, finances and much more:
Being a feminine planet, the Moon enhances the feelings of love, compassion, and care of individuals. People with the positive influence of the Moon in their horoscope have a good-looking, understanding and loving partner. However, in the afflicted Moon, the partner may act insecure, possessive and controlling as per Chandra astrology.
Love, honesty, affection and emotional intimacy are the factors that make the marriage life of people with Moon in kundli successful. However, when the Moon is placed in the wrong spot or place in the kundli, it can bring disagreements, misunderstandings and disappointments in married life.
On the professional front, the water planet, Moon, opens doors for success, fame, recognition and a good reputation in society. The credit should be given to Moon's characteristics, such as a calm and composed attitude that helps individuals make a good impression on others and make rightful decisions.
People with the influence of the Moon in their horoscope have big financial aspirations. Luckily, the planet Moon fulfils their wish and gives them financial security, great monetary status in society and zeal to move forward.
As a karaka of emotions, the feminine planet Moon is majorly responsible for individuals' frequent mood swings. In a positive placement, the Moon provides great healing powers, helping a person recover from any disease. On the other hand, it may also cause stomach-related and respiratory issues.
The influence of the planet moon plays with the emotions of an individual, making them restless and confused. However, when it comes to subjects like art, literature, poetry and music, no one can beat their taste and expertise.
The ‘Queen’ of planets, the Moon, can affect the lives of people in different houses in various ways. In some houses, it can bring blessings, while in others, it may attract challenges. So, let us explore the placement of the Moon in different houses.

Here, we will explore the top powerful yogas formed by the planet Moon in astrology. Understanding the auspicious and inauspicious will help us know how the planet Moon and our emotions define our life’s destiny.
Are you wondering how to strengthen moon in horoscope or how to make Chandra strong? If the dark side of the Moon worries you, then the following Moon remedies might be of great help to you. The simple remedies for weak Moon are as follows:
According to colour astrology, the colour white is associated with Lord Chandra (moon). To strengthen the placement of the moon, one must incorporate white colours in one's clothing.
Wearing gemstones, a Moonstone or a Pearl on a little finger on a Monday morning (Shukla Paksha) is one of the powerful yet simple remedies for a weak moon.
If a person donates white-coloured items such as rice, milk, silver or white clothes to the needy, it is believed that the placement of the moon in his horoscope enhances.
To get the blessings of Chandra Deva (moon), one must chant the powerful Moon mantra: Aum Shraam Shreem Shroum Sah Chandramase Namah. However, correct pronunciation is necessary when chanting the effective Moon Beej Mantra.
If someone wants to lessen the ill effects of the Moon, he should keep a glass full of water beside their bed. The following day, they must pour this water into a flower pot. Performing this remedy for 40 days straight will show favourable results.
The tale of Lord Chandra’s origin dates back to the creation of the entire universe by Lord Brahma. While creating the universe, Lord Brahma felt the sudden urge to have a partner by his side. This is how Goddess Saraswati, the image of beauty and radiance, came into existence.
However, soon, Lord Brahma overcame his desire and transferred the feeling of attraction from him to Rishi Atri. From Rishi Atri, the feeling of desire passed on to his wife, Devi Anasuya. However, his wife, Devi Anasuya, returned the powers to him. Then Rishi Atri manifested the feeling of desire and lust into a physical form, his teardrop. As per popular mythological stories, the planet of inner emotions, the Moon, came into existence.
Being a ‘benefic’ planet, the planet Moon in astrology, holds greater control over our inner emotions and feelings. Its placement can reveal how we react to certain situations. Below are the reasons why planet Moon matters in astrology:
