The Effects of the Moon in Different Signs
The relationship between planets, the signs and the houses they are positioned in and how they aspect each other plays an important part in determining a person’s mental and psychological make up and which aspects of his/her life will be affected adversely or positively.
Astrologers divide the month in to two fortnights-the bright half when the Moon is waxing and the dark half when it is on the wane. The lustrous Moon is considered strong and auspicious, the waning Moon is considered weak and evil. Moon absorbs the qualities of other planets very easily and so the results of its effects in different signs will be modified by other planets joined or aspecting Moon in that sign.
Following are the effects of Moon in different signs:
Moon in Aries: This gives a good complexion, makes the person emotionally volatile and impulsive with a tendency to jump into things without giving due consideration. It makes the person temperamental, independent, and prone to doing things his own way not allowing interference or advice from others. There will be a tendency to be dominating, and influenced by loved ones and hypersensitive. The knee area may be weak, and there will be danger from water.
Moon in Taurus: This gives a tendency to go after security both emotional and financial, a levelheaded approach and a lot of common sense. Such people have the persistence to follow through on whatever they begin, and to attract wealth. People with Moon in this sign are fond of good food and a stable domestic life. If Moon is afflicted there will be a tendency to be lazy and stubborn, unwilling to change. The chest will be broad or well-developed, gains will occur during middle and second half of life, and there will be some mark on the side of the body.
Moon in Gemini: This position makes people indecisive, talkative, and very over analytical to the extent that often they do not know what they want. They are restless, and travel and change residence quite often, and spread themselves too thin. They often do not follow through and complete what they begin but they are quick-witted and manage. If the moon is afflicted here, they tend to have a very superficial approach to life. Attachment to someone other than mother or having two mothers is indicated.
Moon in Cancer: This position make the person a leader, deeply attached to mother, and very receptive to good or bad vibrations. At times such people may see offence where there is none, and become over sensitive. There will be more daughters than sons, foreign residence, a creative imagination and difficulties in life.
Moon in Leo: This position makes the person proud, dramatic, and fond of being in the lime light. Such people need a lot of affection and attention and excel in jobs related to entertainment and children and fond of beauty and art. Teeth may require care.
Moon in Virgo: This gives a meticulous and hard working personality, shyness and to want to stay behind the scenes. The nature is forbearing and compassionate and such people are usually prosperous.
Moon in Libra: This placement makes a person very sensitive and tuned into others, but also affected adversely or positively by what close friends and loved ones thinks of the native, and adverse reactions can affect the health for such people. Charming and elegant their homes are always a warm haven for those who know them. On the positive side, these people are always warm and gracious but on the negative side, others can easily influence them. This gives close ties in partnership and with the maternal side of the family. It also gives more than one serious relationship.
Moon in Scorpio: This is the weakest placement for moon and affects fertility in women and gives a tendency to mental disorders, tensions and extramarital relations and trouble with or on account of relatives, as well as financial ups and downs. There is a tendency to brood and to control others through subtle means, and a definite motive behind every action even though it may not be apparent to others.
Moon in Sagittarius: This gives idealism and and an affectionate nature, and a tendency to be unrealistic. There will be a strong attachment to traditional, religious or philosophical beliefs, a fondness for travel and possibility of foreign residence. It gives athletic abilities and gains from water. If afflicted it can give a narrow-minded outlook towards life.
Moon in Capricorn: This placement gives prominent veins, a tall lean body usually, an aptitude for music, a tendency to catch colds easily, and unorthodox relationships. The nature is usually reserved and cautious and a tendency to take life too seriously. The person will usually be materialistic and will work very hard towards financial and professional success. At times hypersensitive, such people can over react to criticism.
Moon in Aquarius: This placement makes the person humane and a great friend, as well as intuitive. They are independent and bohemian in their life styles and tend to have unusual family arrangements and a tendency to stay single for fear of loss of the personal freedom that is so important to them.
Moon in Pisces: This placement gives a flair for arts and crafts and artisanship, a religious bend of mind and musical abilities. There may be sudden financial windfalls, and frequent travels. The nature is sensitive and psychic and there will be a tendency to pick on the emotions and feelings of others very quickly and intuitively. If afflicted there may be a tendency to be neurotic and irrational.

Sun in Cancer: this placement makes people very sensitive and family oriented, and the need for security is so strong that such people will do any thing to establish and serve that security. People with this placement are thrifty but complex, strong and vulnerable at unexpected moments, usually diplomatic but when upset very childish and stubborn.

Characteristics of Planets
There are 7 grahas (planets) in Vedic astrology: Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus and Saturn. There are two more chaayaa grahas (shadow planets): Rahu and Ketu. Rahu and Ketu are mathematical points. They are also called the north and south nodes or the head and tail of dragon. They are based on the points at which the orbit of Moon around earth cuts the orbit of earth around Sun.
Rasis represent situations that develop in one’s life and influences that enter one’s life. Planets in a chart represent human beings that play a role in one’s life.
Just as the whole zodiac represents Lord Vishnu and rasis represent His limbs, planets represent Vishnu’s avataras (incarnations).
Vishnu’s Avataras
This world contains two essences – jeevaamsa (living essence) and paramaatmaamsa (absolute and supreme essence). Planets are the manifestations of different aspects of these essences. Vishnu’s incarnations happened with these essences taken from various planets.
Meena/Matsya avatara (fish) came from Ketu. Koorma avatara (tortoise) came from Saturn. Varaaha/sookara avatara (boar) came from Rahu. Narasimha/Nrisimha avatara (half-man, half-lion) came from Mars. Vaamana avatara (learned dwarf) came from Jupiter. Parasu Rama/Bhaargava Rama came from Venus. Rama came from Sun. Krishna came from Moon. Buddha came from Mercury.
All these incarnations came into being with a significant percentage of paramaatmaamsa (supreme essence) than jeevaatmaamsa (living essence). Rama, Krishna, Narasimha and Varaha avataras had only paramaatmaamsa.
Other living beings are born with a significant percentage of jeevaamsa and a little of paramaatmaamsa from the planets.
Benefics and Malefics
(1) Jupiter and Venus are natural benefics (saumya grahas or subha grahas). Mercury becomes a natural benefic when he is alone or with more natural benefics. Waxing Moon of Sukla paksha is a natural benefic.
(1) Sun, Mars, Rahu and Ketu are natural malefics (kroora grahas or paapa grahas). Mercury becomes a natural malefic when he is joined by more natural malefics. Waning Moon of Krishna paksha is a natural malefic.
This information is important because the results given by planets are based on their inherent nature.
Main Governance
Sun governs soul. Moon governs mind. Mars governs strength. Mercury governs speech. Jupiter governs knowledge and happiness. Venus governs potency. Saturn governs grief.
Planets and Colors
Sun shows blood-red color. Moon shows tawny color. Mars shows blood-red color. Mercury shows grass green color. Jupiter shows tawny color. Venus is variegated. Saturn shows black color.
These colors can be useful, for example, when predicting the color of one’s car. For now, readers should just memorize these characteristics.
Planetary Cabinet
Sun and Moon are kings. Mars is the leader (army chief). Mercury is the prince. Jupiter and Venus are the ministers. Saturn is the servant. Rahu and Ketu form the army.
Planetary Deities
Ruling deities of various planets are as given below: Agni (fire god) for Sun, Varuna (rain god) for Moon, Subrahmanya (army chief of gods) for Mars, Maha Vishnu (supreme sustaining force) for Mercury, Indra (ruler of gods) for Jupiter, Sachi Devi (Indra’s wife) for Venus, Brahma (Creator) for Saturn.
Sex of Planets
Sun, Mars and Jupiter are male. Moon and Venus are female. Saturn and Mercury are female.
This information can be used for predicting the sex of children based on one’s chart. For example, if the house ruling the first child is influenced by Jupiter, Mars and Mercury, we may predict a son. If it is influenced by Moon and Mercury, we may predict a daughter.
Planets & Five Elements
(1) Agni tattva (fiery element) is ruled by Mars. Sun also has the same nature.
(1) Bhoo tattva (earthy element) is ruled by Mercury.
(1) Vaayu tattva (airy element) is ruled by Saturn.
(1) Aakaasa tattva (ethery element) is ruled by Jupiter.
(1) Jala tattva (watery element) is ruled by Venus. Moon also has the same nature.
These rulerships throw light on the basic nature of planets. Being a fiery planet, Mars governs leadership, enterprise etc. Being an earthy planet, Mercury governs memory, logical abilities etc. Being an airy planet, Saturn governs wandering and free spirit. Being a watery planet, Venus governs imaginative and creative work. Being an ethery planet, Jupiter governs wisdom, intelligence and perceiving knowledge.
Planets & Varnas
Jupiter and Venus are Brahmanas (learned). Sun and Mars are Kshatriyas (warriors). Moon and Mercury are Vaisyas (traders). Saturn is a Sudra (worker).
Learning and intelligence is the forte of the learned class. Bravery is the forte of the warrior class. Getting along with others well is the forte of the trader class. Hard work is the forte of the working class. In this manner, we should understand varnas to show one’s basic nature rather than the caste of one’s family.
It should be noted that Moon, who was earlier classified in the planetary cabinet as a king, is said here to be of Vaisya varna. Sun is a king who is also a warrior. He is a brave king, who asserts himself. But Moon is a king who gets along well with everyone.
Planets & Gunas
Sun, Moon and Jupiter are saattwik planets. Mercury and Venus are raajasik planets. Mars and Saturn are taamasik planets.
NOTE: There is a misconception today that sattwa guna means patience and not hurting others. An aggressive response to an offender is often thought to be raajasik. However, sattwa simply means “the state of being true”. Pleasing others with artificial goodness is not sattwa guna. Punishing a person for his mistakes is not necessarily rajo guna. If there is some passion and impurity in one’s energetic response, then it shows rajo guna. But, if a warrior fights a sinning person with no passion or ego, it can still be a saattvic act. Lord Sri Rama and Sun are examples for this. Sun is a king of the warrior class and yet he is saattwik. Lord Rama, who was born with his amsa, is a saattwik person despite killing Ravana and other demons.
Sattva guna simply means purity and truthfulness in one’s thoughts and action. Rajo guna shows some passion, energy and impurity in thoughts and actions. Tamo guna shows a dark, mean and depraved spirit in thoughts and actions.
Planetary Abodes
Sun lives in a temple. Moon lives in a watery place. Mercury lives in a sports ground. Jupiter lives in a treasure house. Venus lives in the bedroom. Saturn lives in a filthy area.
This description should give one an idea of the nature of planets.
Seven Dhaatus
Sapta dhaatus or 7 matters make up human body. The planetary rulerships are as follows: Sun rules bones. Moon rules blood. Mars rules marrow. Mercury rules skin. Jupiter rules fat. Venus rules semen (materials related to the reproductive system). Saturn rules muscles.
If Sun is afflicted, it can show some problems related to bones. Weakness of Moon may give blood related problems. And so on.
Planets & Time Periods
Sun rules an ayana. Moon rules a minute. Mars rules a week. Mercury rules a ritu. Jupiter rules a month. Venus rules a fortnight. Saturn rules a year.
These periods are very useful in prasna or horary astrology.
Planets & Tastes
Sun governs the pungent taste (e.g. onion, ginger, pepper). Moon governs the saline taste (e.g. sea salt, rock salt). Mars governs the bitter taste (e.g. karela/bitter melon, dandelion root, rhubarb root, neem leaves). Mercury governs a mixed taste. Jupiter governs sweetness (e.g. sugar, dates). Venus governs the sour taste (e.g. lemon, tamarind). Saturn governs the astringent taste (e.g. plantain, pomegranate).
The 2nd house shows one’s preference in food. The planets influencing it may decide one’s favorite taste. In addition, one should avoid the tastes of the planets who are likely bring disease. Suppose one is running a dasa or antardasa of a sign containing Moon as per Shoola dasa (a dasa that shows suffering). Then some suffering related to Moon is possible. Moon can give problems related to blood pressure as he governs blood. So eating too much salty food during such a period may result in high blood pressure. Similarly, one should cut down on sweets during a period in which Jupiter related troubles are indicated. Or, one may develop too much fat (Jupiter) or get other Jupiter related diseases.
Planetary Strengths
Mercury and Jupiter are strong in the eastern direction (lagna). Sun and Mars are strong in the southern direction (meridian – 10th house). Moon and Venus are strong in the northern direction (nadir – 4th house). Saturn is strong in the west (7th house). These are the digbalas (strengths associated with direction) of planets. These show the direction taken by one in one’s life, as we will see later.
Moon, Mars and Saturn are strong in the night time. Sun, Jupiter and Venus are strong in the daytime. Mercury is always strong.
Natural malefics are strong in Krishna paksha. Natural benefics are strong in Sukla paksha.
Natural malefics are strong in Dakshina ayana. Natural benefics are strong in Uttara ayana.
Planets & Ritus
Planetary rulerships over ritus (seasons) are as follows: Venus governs vasanta ritu (spring). Mars governs greeshma ritu (summer). Moon governs varsha ritu (rainy season). Mercury governs hemanta ritu (season of dew). Jupiter governs seeta ritu (winter). Saturn governs sisira ritu (fall).
Dhatu, Moola and Jeeva
(1) Rahu, Mars, Saturn and Moon rule over dhaatus (metals and materials).
(1) Sun and Venus rule over moolas (roots and vegetables).
(1) Mercury, Jupiter and Ketu rule over jeevas (living beings).
Rasis represent situations that develop in one’s life and influences that enter one’s life. Planets in a chart represent human beings that play a role in one’s life.
Just as the whole zodiac represents Lord Vishnu and rasis represent His limbs, planets represent Vishnu’s avataras (incarnations).
Vishnu’s Avataras
This world contains two essences – jeevaamsa (living essence) and paramaatmaamsa (absolute and supreme essence). Planets are the manifestations of different aspects of these essences. Vishnu’s incarnations happened with these essences taken from various planets.
Meena/Matsya avatara (fish) came from Ketu. Koorma avatara (tortoise) came from Saturn. Varaaha/sookara avatara (boar) came from Rahu. Narasimha/Nrisimha avatara (half-man, half-lion) came from Mars. Vaamana avatara (learned dwarf) came from Jupiter. Parasu Rama/Bhaargava Rama came from Venus. Rama came from Sun. Krishna came from Moon. Buddha came from Mercury.
All these incarnations came into being with a significant percentage of paramaatmaamsa (supreme essence) than jeevaatmaamsa (living essence). Rama, Krishna, Narasimha and Varaha avataras had only paramaatmaamsa.
Other living beings are born with a significant percentage of jeevaamsa and a little of paramaatmaamsa from the planets.
Benefics and Malefics
(1) Jupiter and Venus are natural benefics (saumya grahas or subha grahas). Mercury becomes a natural benefic when he is alone or with more natural benefics. Waxing Moon of Sukla paksha is a natural benefic.
(1) Sun, Mars, Rahu and Ketu are natural malefics (kroora grahas or paapa grahas). Mercury becomes a natural malefic when he is joined by more natural malefics. Waning Moon of Krishna paksha is a natural malefic.
This information is important because the results given by planets are based on their inherent nature.
Main Governance
Sun governs soul. Moon governs mind. Mars governs strength. Mercury governs speech. Jupiter governs knowledge and happiness. Venus governs potency. Saturn governs grief.
Planets and Colors
Sun shows blood-red color. Moon shows tawny color. Mars shows blood-red color. Mercury shows grass green color. Jupiter shows tawny color. Venus is variegated. Saturn shows black color.
These colors can be useful, for example, when predicting the color of one’s car. For now, readers should just memorize these characteristics.
Planetary Cabinet
Sun and Moon are kings. Mars is the leader (army chief). Mercury is the prince. Jupiter and Venus are the ministers. Saturn is the servant. Rahu and Ketu form the army.
Planetary Deities
Ruling deities of various planets are as given below: Agni (fire god) for Sun, Varuna (rain god) for Moon, Subrahmanya (army chief of gods) for Mars, Maha Vishnu (supreme sustaining force) for Mercury, Indra (ruler of gods) for Jupiter, Sachi Devi (Indra’s wife) for Venus, Brahma (Creator) for Saturn.
Sex of Planets
Sun, Mars and Jupiter are male. Moon and Venus are female. Saturn and Mercury are female.
This information can be used for predicting the sex of children based on one’s chart. For example, if the house ruling the first child is influenced by Jupiter, Mars and Mercury, we may predict a son. If it is influenced by Moon and Mercury, we may predict a daughter.
Planets & Five Elements
(1) Agni tattva (fiery element) is ruled by Mars. Sun also has the same nature.
(1) Bhoo tattva (earthy element) is ruled by Mercury.
(1) Vaayu tattva (airy element) is ruled by Saturn.
(1) Aakaasa tattva (ethery element) is ruled by Jupiter.
(1) Jala tattva (watery element) is ruled by Venus. Moon also has the same nature.
These rulerships throw light on the basic nature of planets. Being a fiery planet, Mars governs leadership, enterprise etc. Being an earthy planet, Mercury governs memory, logical abilities etc. Being an airy planet, Saturn governs wandering and free spirit. Being a watery planet, Venus governs imaginative and creative work. Being an ethery planet, Jupiter governs wisdom, intelligence and perceiving knowledge.
Planets & Varnas
Jupiter and Venus are Brahmanas (learned). Sun and Mars are Kshatriyas (warriors). Moon and Mercury are Vaisyas (traders). Saturn is a Sudra (worker).
Learning and intelligence is the forte of the learned class. Bravery is the forte of the warrior class. Getting along with others well is the forte of the trader class. Hard work is the forte of the working class. In this manner, we should understand varnas to show one’s basic nature rather than the caste of one’s family.
It should be noted that Moon, who was earlier classified in the planetary cabinet as a king, is said here to be of Vaisya varna. Sun is a king who is also a warrior. He is a brave king, who asserts himself. But Moon is a king who gets along well with everyone.
Planets & Gunas
Sun, Moon and Jupiter are saattwik planets. Mercury and Venus are raajasik planets. Mars and Saturn are taamasik planets.
NOTE: There is a misconception today that sattwa guna means patience and not hurting others. An aggressive response to an offender is often thought to be raajasik. However, sattwa simply means “the state of being true”. Pleasing others with artificial goodness is not sattwa guna. Punishing a person for his mistakes is not necessarily rajo guna. If there is some passion and impurity in one’s energetic response, then it shows rajo guna. But, if a warrior fights a sinning person with no passion or ego, it can still be a saattvic act. Lord Sri Rama and Sun are examples for this. Sun is a king of the warrior class and yet he is saattwik. Lord Rama, who was born with his amsa, is a saattwik person despite killing Ravana and other demons.
Sattva guna simply means purity and truthfulness in one’s thoughts and action. Rajo guna shows some passion, energy and impurity in thoughts and actions. Tamo guna shows a dark, mean and depraved spirit in thoughts and actions.
Planetary Abodes
Sun lives in a temple. Moon lives in a watery place. Mercury lives in a sports ground. Jupiter lives in a treasure house. Venus lives in the bedroom. Saturn lives in a filthy area.
This description should give one an idea of the nature of planets.
Seven Dhaatus
Sapta dhaatus or 7 matters make up human body. The planetary rulerships are as follows: Sun rules bones. Moon rules blood. Mars rules marrow. Mercury rules skin. Jupiter rules fat. Venus rules semen (materials related to the reproductive system). Saturn rules muscles.
If Sun is afflicted, it can show some problems related to bones. Weakness of Moon may give blood related problems. And so on.
Planets & Time Periods
Sun rules an ayana. Moon rules a minute. Mars rules a week. Mercury rules a ritu. Jupiter rules a month. Venus rules a fortnight. Saturn rules a year.
These periods are very useful in prasna or horary astrology.
Planets & Tastes
Sun governs the pungent taste (e.g. onion, ginger, pepper). Moon governs the saline taste (e.g. sea salt, rock salt). Mars governs the bitter taste (e.g. karela/bitter melon, dandelion root, rhubarb root, neem leaves). Mercury governs a mixed taste. Jupiter governs sweetness (e.g. sugar, dates). Venus governs the sour taste (e.g. lemon, tamarind). Saturn governs the astringent taste (e.g. plantain, pomegranate).
The 2nd house shows one’s preference in food. The planets influencing it may decide one’s favorite taste. In addition, one should avoid the tastes of the planets who are likely bring disease. Suppose one is running a dasa or antardasa of a sign containing Moon as per Shoola dasa (a dasa that shows suffering). Then some suffering related to Moon is possible.

Planetary Strengths
Mercury and Jupiter are strong in the eastern direction (lagna). Sun and Mars are strong in the southern direction (meridian – 10th house). Moon and Venus are strong in the northern direction (nadir – 4th house). Saturn is strong in the west (7th house). These are the digbalas (strengths associated with direction) of planets. These show the direction taken by one in one’s life, as we will see later.
Moon, Mars and Saturn are strong in the night time. Sun, Jupiter and Venus are strong in the daytime. Mercury is always strong.
Natural malefics are strong in Krishna paksha. Natural benefics are strong in Sukla paksha.
Natural malefics are strong in Dakshina ayana. Natural benefics are strong in Uttara ayana.
Planets & Ritus
Planetary rulerships over ritus (seasons) are as follows: Venus governs vasanta ritu (spring). Mars governs greeshma ritu (summer). Moon governs varsha ritu (rainy season). Mercury governs hemanta ritu (season of dew). Jupiter governs seeta ritu (winter). Saturn governs sisira ritu (fall).
Dhatu, Moola and Jeeva
(1) Rahu, Mars, Saturn and Moon rule over dhaatus (metals and materials).
(1) Sun and Venus rule over moolas (roots and vegetables).
(1) Mercury, Jupiter and Ketu rule over jeevas (living beings).
Number 9
Number 9 people are those who are born on the 9th, 18th and 27th of a month. Number 9 is a fiery number ruled by Mars. Most people born under this number have a lot of positive energy. 9 is the best date of birth followed by 27th and 18th. Number 27 is the mildest number of the three; the birth number 18 seems to make people conflicted within for a variety of reasons. The energy of Mars gives a tendency to its natives to be hotheaded, accident prone and restless as well as endowed with a strong competitive spirit.
There will be a tendency to being touchy, and aggressive. Number 9 gives leadership abilities and people born under this number are good at organizing and running things. They can be very unforgiving and revengeful when hurt. There is danger from surgical operations getting infected.
As a rule number 9 people get along with people born on the 1st, 3rd, 6th and the 9th. They will have conflict or disagreement with people born under other numbers.
If given a free rein most number 9 people would do well. They like to work independently and do not like being constantly told what to do. They usually face stress on the home front either from the families of those they married or within their own families. The men born under this sign are very soft hearted and can be easily taken in by sob stories.
There was an interesting observation made by many leading numerologists about number 9 that it is the only number that always reproduces itself when multiplied by any other number. Number 9 is also a materialistic number.
Number 9 people are prone to high blood pressure, high fevers, heart attacks. They should avoid rich food and alcohol. They should also incorporate onions, garlic, mustard seed, ginger and pepper, in their diet.

Number 8
Number 8 is a number of darkness and light, conflict and resolution and teaches some hard lessons. It is ruled by Saturn and I have seen people born under this number to achieve success after a lot of struggle, rise to great heights and fall very deeply as well. It rules those who are born on the 8th, 17th or 26th of the month.
If Saturn is well placed in the chart then it will give people born under this number, wisdom, depth, a strong sense of fair play and a detached and balanced view of life. It makes people born leaders and organizers. But if Saturn is not well placed, it will make the person born under this number, a pessimist, easily misunderstood, very lonely and complex. It makes ailments chronic and tilts people towards depression. It can also delay the fruition of desires, and give legal troubles. Most people with Saturn dominant in their charts are reserved and old souls even in their youth.
Most number 8 people are not naturally lucky, and are mostly self-made. At their worst they can be unforgiving and at times vindictive, but when Saturn is well placed they take their losses with grace. It is hard for number 8 people to easily confide in others. That is why they tend to stifle their frustrations inside and become distant. They usually find it hard to spend money, even on themselves, tend to be loners but those who win their trust can be assured they have a friend for life.
They look at life as black and white, and usually face some major catastrophes and tragedies. From a worldly perspective this is not a very lucky number to be born under, as they often face great losses and humiliations.
Number 8s should keep an eye on dates that start or add up to a 4 or an 8 and guard against negativity during those dates.
Number 8 people tend to be prone to liver and intestinal infections as well as anal and private part infections, arthritis and migraines. They should avoid meats and live on fruit, herbs and vegetables.
