In Jyotish, your Moon sign (Rashi) is very important—sometimes more than the Sun sign. The Moon shows your emotions, inner mind, and how you react to life. It tells us what gives you comfort, peace, and happiness.
The Moon sign is found by seeing where the Moon was placed at your time of birth. This is different from the Western zodiac system, where the Sun sign is used more often.
Each of the 12 Moon signs has a different emotional style. For example:
- Cancer Moon people are sensitive, caring, and family-loving.
- Leo Moon people are confident and like appreciation.
- Virgo Moon people are practical and thoughtful.
The Moon also decides how you handle stress, relationships, and daily emotions. If your Moon is with Saturn, you may take life seriously. If it’s with Jupiter, you may have a calm and wise nature.
In Dasha periods and transits, the Moon’s condition plays a big role in how you feel. When the Moon is weak, people feel low energy or confused. Doing Moon remedies like wearing pearls, chanting Chandra Mantra, or moon gazing on full moon nights can help.
Understanding your Moon sign gives you a deep emotional guidebook to your life.
