Overview

Chandra, the Moon, represents the mind and emotions in Vedic astrology. The Moon is the fastest moving planet, changing signs every 2.5 days. It governs our emotional responses, subconscious patterns, and intuitive abilities. A well-placed Moon brings mental peace and emotional intelligence.

Chandra is depicted as a young, beautiful deity riding a chariot pulled by ten white horses. He holds a mace and lotus, wearing white garments and adorned with pearls.
