Significance of Moon in Vedic astrology
Moon in Vedic Astrology is believed to emit calm and feminine energy. It is the queen among the nine imperial stars and rules our minds and emotions.
This fastest moving planet waxes and wanes frequently, partly the reason for our mood swings and crabbiness.
The moon is what balances the fierce energy of the Sun with its calming and nurturing properties. Moon in fact reflects the sunlight at night to keep us from the all-encompassing darkness.
It also rules over liquids and water, the fundamental needs to sustain in the world and grow. People who are born when the moon is waxing are usually extrovert and bold while those born in the waning Moon are introverted and submissive.
It is the waning and waxing of the Moon that is associated with our emotional temperament, mood swings, climatic changes, oceanic tides, fertility, and menstruation. Thus, its effect upon human beings is both psychological as well as physiological.
A positively placed Moon in the horoscope makes the person mentally and emotionally strong. Such a person has a good concentration and capability of emotional connection with people.
Natives with strong Moon are usually compassionate and nurturing. They usually think of others’ well-being first than meeting their own needs. Such people are usually connected with their surroundings on an emotional and psychological level.
A weak Moon in the horoscope reflects an emotionally weak person, cries a lot, laughs a lot, and is not in control of their sensitivity. Such a person faces a lot of difficulties on an emotional level due to their temperamental makeup.
They can also face mental distress and problems. Moreover, their health also gets affected. Such people need to live a calm life, away from the disturbances, maybe close to a water body for the most soothing effect.
Since Moon is connected to fertility and bodily fluids, the negative influence of the moon in the horoscope can affect health issues related to blood, lungs, breasts, milk, chest, cough, and reproductive system.

The Moon in Hindu Mythology
Three supreme gods Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva disguised as monks, came to test Anasuya, the wife of Atri Rishi and demanded that she feed them milk from her breasts. The great Anasuya with her spirutal powers got to know the truth and and turned these three gods into babies and feed them as they desired. Immensely pleased and impressed with Anasuya, lords of the universe blessed her to have great children. Shiva's blessing caused the birth of Durvasas rishi, Vishnu's blessing resulted in the birth of Dattatreya, and Brahma's boon caused the Moon's birth.
The Moon was then worshipped by all the celestials. He later married all the twenty seven daughters of Daksha and they were non other than twenty seven constellations or nakshatras. Out of his twenty seven wives Moon preferred only Rohini, and always remained with her. Other twenty-six sisters pleaded Moon to spend equal time with all of them. But Moon ignored them and with no option left these twenty-six sisters complained to their father, Daksha, who tried twice to reason with Moon, his son in law, but Moon ignored it as well. Daksha then lost his temper and cursed the Moon to suffer with consumption.
Every day the Moon started to wane, losing his glow and no remedy could cure him. The gods also got alarmed at the possibility life on Earth will be affected without Moon, approached Daksha and asked him to modify his curse so that life continues on Earth. Daksha then modified his curse on condition that Moon has to spend one day with each of his wives and the consumption will effect him for fourteen days and in next fourteen days he will gain back his form.
