About Moon (Chandra) in Vedic Astrology
Chandra (Moon) represents the mind, emotions, and mother in Vedic astrology. It is the fastest-moving planet, changing signs every 2.5 days, which reflects the changing nature of our moods and mental states. The Moon governs the 4th house of home, comfort, and emotional security. A strong Moon gives emotional stability, good memory, popularity with the public, and a loving mother. A weak Moon can cause mental anxiety, depression, insomnia, and problems with liquids or water-related issues. In Vedic astrology, the Moon sign (Rashi) is considered more important than the Sun sign for predictions.
