Chandra Dosha

=============

 

The Moon in Vedic astrology is called Chandra. Chandra means "bright

and shining" in Sanskrit. The Moon is also called Soma, named after

the intoxicating sacred drink used in Vedic sacrifice. Where all

westerners know their Sun-sign, you will find all Hindus know their

Moon sign, for the Moon, and its birth sign are all important in

Hindu culture and astrology.

 

Mercury, the son of Moon, is the further process that is called the

intellect, which places a value on what the mind has received. The

Moon as the mind is indicative of all the senses and their ability

to perceive life in all its splendours. Mercury represents a further

distillation and conceptualisations of that process and its ultimate

intellectualizations in forming judgment.

 

She has auspicious looks and sweet speech, is fickle minded and very

lustful." The Moon is most comfortable and powerful in the 4th

House; she also likes the angles. The Moon is particularly

beneficial for the water sign Ascendants of Cancer, Scorpio and

Pisces. Her nature is kapha, or watery. Her gem is the Moonstone and

Natural Pearls. Her metal is silver and her direction is Northwest.

The Moon's day is Monday. The Moon comes into her full maturity at

age 24.

 

Afflictions to the Moon show personality disorders, difficulties in

relating to other people and emotional disturbances. A strong Moon,

on the other hand, shows sensitivity, receptivity, caring for others

and a nurturing attitude in life. It gives emotional maturity,

responsibility and the capacity to have a beneficial effect upon

society. Rahu can cause us to lose thinking power over our mind.

 

 

A benefice Moon is often found in the charts of doctors, healers or

psychologists, as well as good mothers and wives. A strong Moon can

give power like the Sun. A strong Moon can outshine the other

planets, sometimes even the Sun. Whereas the Sun creates the king or

strong willed leader, the Moon creates a good administrator or a

leader open to the needs of his people. The Moon indicates

relationship, interchange, and communication.

 

 

To please Moon:Donations of Rice, grains, Camphor, White-cloth,

silver, conch, white sandal, white flower, sugar, bullock, curd and

pearls should be made to please him.
