Moon-the key to judge human psychology

The Moon or Chandra is the queen of the planetary world. The Moon represents mainly Mind and Mother and has an important bearing on the growth, nourishment, mental disposition and the personality of a person.  The Moon has to be strong and well placed in the horoscope for the native to enjoy the positive aspects of these significations. 

In fact, the placement of the Moon in an individual’s horoscope provides the clue to his mental disposition. 

Where the Moon is weak and strong
The Moon is strong in his own sign, Cancer and in the 3rd degree of Taurus where it attains exaltation. The Moon is also strong when waxing between the 10th lunar day of the bright half and the 5th lunar day of the dark half of the month.  In the dark half of the lunar month, it requires the good aspect of Jupiter to be strong enough to produce favourable results.  

 If the aspect is afflicted, the native would be aggressive and impulsive. He would indulge in vices like gambling and womanizing and due to his bad conduct, he would become a mental and physical wreck

As a benefic strong in Kendras and Moolatrikonas
The Moon gives good results when it is placed in Kendras (quadrants) and Moolatrikonas (trines) and in Upachaya Houses when it is a malefic.

The classical Astrological work, Jataka Parijata says that the Moon is strong in Cancer, Taurus, his weekday, his Drekanna, his Hora, his Navamsa, in the end of a sign, when aspected by benefics, in the 4th House and in his passage to the South of the Equator.
