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 9^th House

The 9th house belongs to Jupiter, who is a great friend of the Moon. Hence the native will imbibe the traits and features of both these planets – good conduct, soft heartedness, religious bent of mind and love for virtuous acts and pilgrimage. He will live upto 75 years. A friendly planet in the 5^th house will augment comforts and pleasures from the son and develops intense interest in religious deeds. A friendly planet in the 3rd house ensures great increase in money and wealth.

Remedies

1. Install the things associated with the Moon within the house, e.g., place a square piece of silver in the almirah.

2. Serve the laborers with milk.

3. Offer milk to snakes and rice to fish.

Moon in 10^th House

The 10th house is in every manner ruled by Saturn. This house is aspected by the 4th house, which is similarly ruled by Moon. Hence the Moon in the 10th house ensures a long life of about 90 years for the native. Moon and Saturn are inimical, therefore, medicines in liquid form will always prove harmful to him. The milk will act as poison if taken during night. If he is a medical practitioner, dry medicines administered by him to the patient will have a magical effect for cure. If a surgeon, he will earn great wealth and fame for surgery. If the 2nd and 4th houses are empty money and wealth will rain on him. If Saturn is placed in the 1st house, the native’s life will be destroyed by the opposite sex, especially a widow. The things and business represented by Saturn will prove beneficial for the native.

Remedies:

1. Visits to religious places of worship will enhance the fortune of the native.

2. Store the natural water of rain or the river in a container and keep it within your house for 15 years. It will wash off the poisons and evil effects generated by the Moon in the 10th house.

3. Avoid taking milk during night.

4. Milch animals can neither live long in your house nor will they prove beneficial or auspicious.

5. Abstain from wine, meat and adultery.
