What is a Moon Sign?
Your Moon Sign (Chandra Rashi) represents the zodiac sign the Moon was in at the exact moment you were born. While your Sun sign reflects your outer personality, your Moon sign reveals your inner emotional world, instincts, and subconscious reactions.
Your Emotional Self
Your Moon sign governs your emotional responses, feelings, and how you process experiences. It's the lens through which you perceive and react to the world on an emotional level.
Your Inner World
In Vedic astrology, the Moon represents the mind (Manas). Your Moon sign reveals your mental patterns, comfort needs, and what makes you feel safe and nurtured.
Did You Know?
In Vedic astrology, the Moon sign is considered MORE important than the Sun sign. This is because the Moon moves faster (changing signs every 2.5 days) and represents the mind and emotions, which directly influence our daily experiences and relationships.
