Chandra (Moon) Mahadasha: Effects and Remedies
Chandra (Moon) in Astrology
The Chandra, or moon, is a cold, moist, nocturnal, and feminine planet. The moon rules the “Cancer” zodiac. It gets debilitated and weak in the sign of Scorpio. Just like the sun represents a father figure in astrology, the moon represents “mother” in the birth chart. As the natives of the Sun give importance to public life, the natives of the moon emphasise personal life.
The Chandra Dev emerged from the sea during Amrit Manthan. He is one of the Devas. He is considered weak-minded and is married to Tara. Their child is Mercury (Budh). Budh despised his father, as he was born out of a sin. That is why Mercury and the Moon are considered enemy planets.
