Moon-In classical astrology, the Moon (Chandra) is inseparably linked with the manas, or mind. The Brhat Parasara Hora Sastra states, "Candrat manah"-from the Moon arises the mind. While the Sun represents the soul (atman), the Moon governs our inner tides: thoughts, emotions, and circumstances. The Moon's waxing and waning mirror the restlessness of the mind. Just as the Moon changes its phases, the mind shifts between clarity and confusion. The Chandogya Upanisad teaches that the mind is formed from food, highlighting the Moon's nourishing and reflective nature. In the Yoga Sutras, the mind is described as a mirror that must be stilled to reveal truth-this is the Moon's higher function when balanced.
