Moon (Chandra) is one of the nine grahas of Vedic astrology, ruling Cancer, exalted in Taurus 3°, with a 10-year Vimshottari mahadasha. The Moon (Chandra) is the manas — the mind and emotions. It signifies feelings, intuition, the mother, comfort, the home, the public, water and fluids, and the body's nourishment. In Vedic astrology the Moon's sign and nakshatra are central: it is the fastest, most personal graha.
