Moon :
The Moon is a cold, feminine planet. It is ruler of sign Cancer. Moon is the celestial object closest to the earth. Cancer is just prior to Leo, who is ruled by the Sun. Unlike Western Astrology where the Sun is most important; in Jyotish the Moon is the first "Graha" to look at and plays a central role in many calculations and predictive techniques. The Moon Gets exalted in Taurus and debilitated when it transits Scorpio. Afflicted Moon at the time of birth gives frequent ailments and distorts proper growth. Stomach upset, cold, fever is some of the ailments associated with afflicted Moon. Moon character is changeability; hence person born under its influence will look for frequent changes. Like the Moon, which grows or decreases everyday, the person under its influence will be unsettled, wavering, and vacillating. Moon represents the mother. As Mercury governs intelligence, good aspects between Moon and Mercury will make the person imaginative, emotional and will possess strong feelings. Good aspect with Venus makes the person makes the person interested in Music, art, painting, creative and friendly. Moon and Mars will make the person frank and bold. As Sun indicated public life, position, authority, power, Moon on the other hand refers to home and personal life. As Moon refers to water, ponds and oceans, it is also associated with pearls.
