What Moon Governs
The Moon represents your emotional nature, subconscious mind, instincts, and your relationship to home and mother.
Moon in the Natal Chart
The Moon's sign shows your emotional nature and instinctive responses. Moon in Aries reacts quickly and fiercely; Moon in Taurus needs stability and physical comfort. The Moon's house shows where you seek emotional security.
Moon Transits
The Moon transits each sign for approximately 2.5 days, making it the fastest daily influence in your chart. Void-of-course Moon periods are times to avoid new starts. Full Moons illuminate and release; New Moons plant seeds.
Moon in Vedic Astrology
In Vedic astrology, the Moon (Chandra) is arguably the most important planet — more so than the Sun. Your Moon sign (Rashi) determines your Vimshottari Dasha sequence and deeply influences your mental and emotional constitution.
