Moon (Chandra) - Queen
in planetary kingdom, Moon signifies mind and psychic. Moon
the natural satellite of earth, is the reflection of Sun and it energy.
Moon being closest celestial body causes tides in fluids, both in oceans
and humans. Moon is the prime player in your relationships since it
affects your
thought process, instincts, subconscious and everything related to your
mental process. Like Sun represents father, Moon represents mother. Moon
bestows us with creativity, imagination, intuitive powers, sensuality
and artistic abilities.
Moon rules tides in oceans and body fluids in human, hence governs the menstrual cycle and fertility in women. Moon signifies fertility, romance, travel, memory, nourishment and relationship with mother.
The waxing and waning cycles of the Moon effect vegetation, ocean tides, climate, the female cycle, fertility and emotional swings. Numerous statistical analysis indicate that mentally disturbed people feel more affected or aggravated during the full Moon.
Afflicted
Moon is afflicted Mind and disturbance in body fluids, hence highly
undesirable in birth chart. It is fair to assume that a well
placed and unafflicted Moon is direct blessing from the almighty.
Afflicted moon gives mental anxiety, depressions, infertility, emotional
disturbances, sour relation with mother and other mental issues, which
snowball into a diseased body.
Cancer is Moons own house, Taurus he exalts and Scorpio is debilitates.
Tantra Sadhana is normally practiced on the New Moon Night or Amavasya.
