In Vedic astrology Lagna denotes a person's body or personality while his mind is dented by Moon (Chandra) .According to vedic astrology ,Moon is a benefic planet and gives the best results if strong in the horoscope of an individual.Moon represents mind , emotions, watery diseases, common cold etc.In Vedic astrology Moon has other names likes Chandra, Soma, Sasankh, Vidhu, Indhu, Himanshu etc. An exalted Moon or strongly placed Moon makes a person's mind strong and they will be good at decision making. But if the Moon is afflicted or weak , it will cause mental disturbances to a person , he can't concentrate completely on his work and the person will be fickle minded.
I have already mentioned significance Moon in a Horoscope in my previous posts. Debiliated or weak Moon can even cause depression.
The best method to strengthen the Moon is to recite the Chandra Gayatri Mantra daily or the best time to chant is on Monday evenings.It improves mental health and have magical effects.
