Planet Moon Secrets: Vedic Astrology

way you think, but do not mistake this for your intelligence, which is ruled by Mercury. We all have

emotions, but our intelligence is at different level.

Chandra (Moon) represents the mind. It signifies the thoughts and emotions, and the complex

psychological faculty that takes input from the senses and tells the body how to respond. The Moon

is the single most important planet in Jyotish because the state of mind is responsible for all the

emotional responses to life, and therefore defines the subjective perception of life. Conditions

affecting the Moon in the chart influence the thinking and feeling processes, mental skills and

attitudes, and also responses to the world at large.
