Moon in All 12 Signs: How Your Moon Sign Shapes Your Emotional Nature

Your Moon sign (Chandra Rashi) is arguably the most important placement in Vedic Astrology - it shapes your mind, emotions, instinctive reactions, and inner world. Here's how the Moon expresses in each sign.

Moon in Aries (Mesha)
