Sun and Moon are the celestial couples in the cosmic world. Sun represents father, Moon represent Mother. Moon represents many things in astrology. Moon represents your mind, mother, mother’s family, grandmother, old women, horse, travel, agricultural land, Lord Shiva, love, kindness, mental peace, heart, services rendered for other’s welfare, cash-liquidity and also the 4^th house in the birth chart.

The Moon’s effect starts reflecting in native’s life in the 16th, 51st and 86th year of the native. Moon is said to be activated in the 24th year, 49th year and 94th year of the native. Jupiter, Sun and Mars are Moon’s friends, whereas Saturn, Rahu and Ketu are inimical to Moon.

Moon is the Lord of 4th house, stands exalted in the 2nd house of Taurus and becomes debilitated in the 8th house of Scorpio. The Moon provides very good results if placed in houses 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7 and 9 whereas the 6th, 8th, 10th, 11th and 12th houses are bad for the Moon. The death of a domestic milch animal like cow, goat or a horse, drying up of a person’s well or pond, the loss of the senses of touching and feeling are the signs of moon turning malefic.

The placement of the Ketu in the 4th house causes Matri Rin i.e. mother’s debt. In such a situation pieces of silver of equal weight and size be collected from every member of the family and the same should be thrown together into the running water – river. Consequently, all the ill effects would be reduced. Moon loses its power with its proximity to Sun. A full Moon is very powerful. A waxing Moon is treated as powerful (Shukla Paksha) and a waning Moon (Krishna Paksha) is considered weak. A powerful Moon gives benefic results and a weak moon gives malefic results.

Moon in 11^th House

This house is strongly influenced by Jupiter and Saturn. Every planet placed in this house will destroy its inimical planets and the things associated with them. In this way the Moon here will destroy its enemy Ketu’s things, i.e., the sons of the native. Here the Moon will have to face the combined power of its enemies Saturn and Ketu, which will weaken the Moon. Now if Ketu is placed in the 4th house, the life of the native’s mother will be endangered. The business associated with Mercury will also prove harmful. Starting house construction or purchase of a house on Saturdays will strengthen Saturn (the Moon’s enemy) which will prove disastrous for the native. Kanyadan after the midnight and participating in any marriage ceremony on Fridays will damage the fortunes of the native.

Remedies

1. Offer milk in Bhairo Mandir and donate milk to others liberally.

2. Ensure that the grandmother does not see her grandson.

3. Heat up a piece of gold in fire and put it in a glass of milk before drinking it.

4. Throw 125 pieces of sweet (Peda) in a river.

Moon in 12^th House

This house belongs to Moon’s friend Jupiter. Here the Moon will have good effects on Mars and the things associated with Mars, but it will harm its enemies Mercury and Ketu and the things associated with them. Hence the business and things associated with the house in which Mars is placed will provide highly beneficial effects. Similarly, the business and things associated with the houses where Mercury and Ketu are placed will be strongly damaged. The Moon in the 12th houses causes a general fear in the native’s mind about numerous unforeseen troubles and dangers and thus destroys his sleep and peace of mind. Ketu in the 4th house will become weak and affect the native’s son and mother very adversely.

Remedies:

1. Wearing Gold in ears, drinking milk after inserting hot piece of gold in it and visiting religious places of worship will ward off the evils of the Moon in 12th house and also that of the Ketu in the 4th house.

2. Never offer milk and food to religious saints/sadhus.

3. Do not open a school, college or any other educational institute and do not help children in obtaining free of cost education.
