What are you feeling? Moon Principles of Vedic Astrology.
In Vedic Astrology, the Moon is the heart of your emotional world.
It governs how you feel, react, and instinctively respond to life.
By understanding where your Moon is placed, in terms of its house, sign, and nakshatra,
plus the house where cancer falls in your chart,
you can gain profound insights into your emotional landscape.
The Moon represents your deep subconscious, your inner psychology,
and the imprints you carry as a soul from past lives.
It's the seat of your cravings, desires, and emotional imprints
that shape your responses in this lifetime.
Let's dive into these Moon Principles together
and explore how they impact your feelings in inner world.
