The Moon in Hindu astrology is known as Chandra. Shiva having Chandra adorning his head is known by name Chandradhara. The other name most popular is Soma. Chandra means ‘shiny’ and Soma is the sacred intoxicating drink that was used in vedic rituals. Moon is known as Luna as in the words, ‘lunatic’ and ‘lunar tides’. Ancients, both in East and West observed that mental make up depends on Moon and the lunatics were observed to have a relationship with phases of Moon. This theory has been proved as well as disproved thrice by the psychologists! Moon’s position is all important in the chart as the transit effects, the directional scale is determined by the position of Moon. As such, the predictions based on Moon sign represent the person more than the Sun sign. Nobody has been observed to have mental illness due to position of Sun to be called solatic! Moon indicates changing mood. Moon is the karaka for mother, happiness, feminine beauty, mental status and eyesight. Remedial measures to Chandra will give peace of mind, healthy mental activity so that intelligence (represented by Budha) is put to full use Anxiety related disorders and mental disorders and water related diseases are cured by propitiation to Chandra.

Moon is considered mother of natal chart. Moon is a female planet and does its duty in the natal chart as a mother. It is Lord of Cancer. It develops the mental faculties of the native. It is significator of eating establishments, sailors, medical profession, psychic abilities etc. When Moon is strong the native does not have to strive for acquiring status and it denotes affluence, sensitivity, imagination, good memory etc.

If the Moon is posited in the sign of Scorpio or is in the 6th, 8th or 12th house or is with Rahu or Ketu, it needs to be strengthened, otherwise the person will either be killed due to the bad influence t planet, or the person’s wife/husband will die. Recital of Moon Mantra blesses the native with respect, friendship and creates Contacts with opposite sex in harmoniums way. It governs the right eye of the males and ovaries, menstrual cycle, uterus, generative organs and right eye of the female. When Moon is malefic in the natal chart it develops problems related to these parts.

Monday is considered best for worshipping the Moon. Some scholars are of the opinion that the sadhana could be performed during Guru-pushya or Ravi-pushya yoga. The sadhna should start from Monday falling during shukla paksha. The devotee should wear white clothes, have a white seat and food for offering should also be white. Sphatika (Crystal) idol of Moon God is used for worshipping the god. Brahims are fed milk, rice or milk boiled with rice and sugar.
