Chandra (Moon)
Chandra (the Moon) is the significator of the mind. In Vedic astrology the Moon sign (Chandra rashi, or birth rashi) is decided by it, which is why it is given great importance. It represents emotions, the mother, peace of mind, memory and the water element. The Moon's position reveals how a person feels from within.
A Strong Chandra
People with a strong Moon have a calm mind, good memory and emotional balance. They are popular, empathetic and receive affection from the mother.
A Weak Chandra
A weak Moon may bring a restless mind, anxiety and mood swings. Enough sleep, plenty of water and the mother's company improve this naturally.
Chandra Dasha
The Moon's mahadasha lasts 10 years. During this period, matters of the mind, family, home, the mother, travel and public dealings stay prominent; it is a time of emotional bonding and change.
