Moon (Chandra) in the 12 Houses
Moon (Chandra) is a natural benefic when bright and waxing, and counted among the malefics when dark and waning — the significator of the mind, the mother, emotions, comfort and the public. Where it sits, counted from the lagna, decides which part of life it works through — each house below has its own page.

- 01
Moon in the 1st house
The Moon on the lagna puts the mind in the body: an expressive face, sensitivity, imagination and a personality that changes with the moods around it. - 02
Moon in the 2nd house
The Moon in the 2nd softens the voice and the purse: the texts describe a pleasant face and speech, a comfortable family life, a love of good food and wealth earned through the public, trade or women — money that rises and falls with the tides. - 03
Moon in the 3rd house
In the 3rd the Moon gives a restless, communicative mind, many short journeys, close ties with siblings and courage that rises and falls with mood. - 04
Moon in the 4th house
The Moon is the natural significator of the mother and of peace of mind, and in the 4th — where it also has directional strength (dig bala) — the texts give comforts, a close bond with the mother, property, vehicles and a happy home, strongest when the Moon is bright and unafflicted. - 05
Moon in the 5th house
The Moon in the 5th gives an imaginative, intuitive mind, warmth with children and a love of the arts. - 06
Moon in the 6th house
The 6th is a difficult seat for the Moon: the texts associate it with a sensitive digestion, worry, health that reacts to stress, and enemies or disputes that weigh on the mind — more so when the Moon is waning. - 07
Moon in the 7th house
In the house of marriage the Moon brings tenderness and a need for companionship: the classical texts describe an attractive, caring spouse, popularity with the public and success in trade or partnership. - 08
Moon in the 8th house
The 8th is the hardest house for the Moon in the classical texts: they read emotional intensity, anxiety, health that fluctuates and sudden changes in circumstance, especially with a weak or waning Moon. - 09
Moon in the 9th house
In the house of fortune and dharma the Moon is favoured: the texts describe a religious, generous disposition, good fortune, pilgrimages and long journeys, wealth and children, and devotion to elders and teachers. - 10
Moon in the 10th house
The Moon in the 10th makes the native known: the texts give success, a good reputation, wealth and public favour — and, the Moon being the Moon, a career that may change direction more than once. - 11
Moon in the 11th house
The Moon in the 11th fills the circle: the classical texts describe steady gains, many friends and supporters, help from women and the public, a long life and wishes fulfilled. - 12
Moon in the 12th house
The Moon in the 12th turns the mind inward: the texts mention expenditure, restless sleep, loneliness or living away from home, and an emotional life kept private.
Make your kundli and look for Moon on the chart: the house it sits in, counted from the lagna, is the page to read, and the sign it is in is the row of that page’s table.
