Why the Moon ?
In the north Indian style of birth charts if the Moon is a house other than the lagna, two different charts are prepared to do readings, first from the lagna and then from the Moon. In the south Indian chart two charts need not to be prepared but the same scientific approach is adopted.
Why then is so much importance is given to the Moon must be understoodd.
1. The lagna is the body, and physical body.
2. Six divisional horoscopes are its six limbs, which are –
a. The birth horoscope is for the study of physical, general and broad
understanding of a man’s personality.
b. Hora which is a two fold division of a horoscope is to be seen for wealth, though it has some other uses also.
c. Dreshkona (Drekkana) is one third division of a horoscope for finding out mainly
about brothers and sisters though it has a wide variety of uses.
d. Navamsha or the one-ninth division of a horoscope for seeing the subtle, hidden
planetary stories but is used mainly for marital and relationship problems.
e. Dwadashamsha or the One-twelfth division is used to know about parents,
though it has most extraordinary uses of other kinds also.
f. Trimsamsha, one thirtieth division (actually five divisions) for misfortune, though it reveals a wealth of details about one’s talents also.
3. Other planets, i.e. Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn, Rahu and Ketu are the
flesh and blood of the body.
4. The Moon is the life-force and
5. The Sun is the soul.
To do astrology without seeing the very great role of the Moon in it is to do autopsy, not astrology, of a horoscope.
The great Vedic seers knew all about it and have used the Moon in so many ways
that it will need the efforts of a life-time to comprehend them and use them fully. No astrologer knows the full uses of the Moon in a horoscope. But a sound Hindu
astrologer knows the great importance of the Moon and knows that it is the life force
of the horoscope.
The Approach
To understand the role of the Moon in a horoscope, one must first understand broad
and general category for the psychological understanding of a personality.
Then understand it again in a less broad but general way by using the birth-star.
After that should come the manifold specific influence of the Moon in a horoscope
through microscopic views.

Cautions
One
This is the most basic psycho-analytical framework with which a Hindu astrologer
should start. These should not be applied literally as they undergo at least twenty
modifications. Let one such instance of modification be given here.
For Mesha Lagna with the Moon: As the fourth lord in the lagna has a good mother
and other domestic comforts.
For Vrisha Lagna with the Moon: Loves to be spiritual but is negligent of serious
studies.
For Mithuna Lagna with the Moon: Has a tendency to grow rich, can be obstinate,
and does lot of work for others.
For Karka Lagna with Moon: Will be healthy, brave, very fickle and loves to move in
the company of the opposite sex.
For Simha Lagna with the Moon: Spendthrift, does bad planning as a result of which
loses money.
For Kanya Lagna with the Moon: Rich, good natured, poet, equanimous and is always
anxious to grow rich.
For Tula Lagna with the Moon: Is a born scholar, has many good qualities, sickly in
childhood but later happy and becomes prosperous.
For Vrishchika Lagna with the Moon: Is generally lucky, is handsome, scholarly and is
liked both by the rich and the poor.
For Dhanu Lagna with the Moon: Has generally less longevity of life, is weak, has
thieving tendencies and is ungrateful to his preceptors.
For Makar Lagna with the Moon: Is addicted to extra-marital affairs, is very clever
and is prone to sickness.
For Kumbha Lagna with the Moon: Has a bad health, earns fame, is courageous but
does not get on well with people generally.
For Meena Lagna with the Moon: Is miserly, scheming but scholarly and has the
tendency to cheat others of money.
Two
Now apply to the Moon the full Memory Tablet - PAC and DARES. There are already
now nine modifications.
Three
Go into the subtle meaning of the birth star in which the Moon is positioned.
Four
Examine the Moon in the other five divisional charts, Hora, Drekkanna, Navamsha,
Dwadamsha and Thrimsamsha.
Five
There are subtler uses of the Moon in each horoscope which alone will be around
twenty.
If even some of these are well understood and applied the entire psycho-analytical
structure will open out. All this cannot be done in one hour or even one day.
Six
Uttermost caution is to be exercised if the Moon is in the last degrees of Meena or
early degrees of Mesha, If in the last degrees of Karka and early degrees of Simha,
and if in the last degree of Vrischika and early degrees of Dhanu. These are known
as gandanta areas and have many hidden dangers.
