Vedic astrology considers the Moon an auspicious planet. Astrology regards the Sun as the father and the Moon as the mother. The Moon rules Cancer sign along with Rohini, Hasta, and Shravana constellations. In Vedic astrology, the Moon signifies mind, mother, mental strength, the left eye, and the chest. If the Moon is in the ascendant of a person, the person becomes very beautiful, imaginative, emotional, sensitive, and courageous. Similarly, if the Moon is in the second house of a person, the person becomes very fond of eating and drinking and travels far to satisfy this desire.
When the Moon is strong in the horoscope, the person remains mentally strong and happy. Such a person stays close to their mother. If the Moon is weak in the horoscope, the person becomes mentally weak and forgetful. When the Moon becomes weak, the person may sometimes attempt suicide during difficult periods. If the Moon suffers from malefic planets in the horoscope, negative effects appear on the person’s health. The Moon is the deity of the water element. Monday is dedicated to the Moon. Lord Shiva is the lord of the Moon. The Moon is the child of Sage Atri and Mother Anusuya. The Moon possesses sixteen arts. The Moon is considered the lord of the northwest direction.
Cancer is the Moon’s own sign, and the Moon becomes exalted in Taurus. The Moon becomes debilitated in Scorpio. If the Moon sits with planets like Saturn, Rahu, or Ketu or forms an aspect relation with them, it becomes more afflicted. Such a Moon gives severe suffering to the person.
