The Moon: Queen of Astrology

By Prachi & Anuprya
Pune, 13th February 2025: In astrology, the Moon is revered as the Queen, radiating potent feminine energy. As the ruling planet for Cancer, the fourth zodiac sign, the Moon significantly influences our emotional landscape.

Astrologically, the Moon governs our mind, emotions, and intelligence, impacting our mental disposition, relationships with our mother, and even our physical well-being. Its effects are evident in our emotional fluctuations, particularly during full moon and new moon phases.

New Moon

The New Moon symbolizes fresh beginnings, offering a clean slate for new initiatives, learning, and decision-making. This phase is ideal for embarking on novel ventures, acquiring new skills, or starting anew.

Full Moon

Conversely, the Full Moon amplifies emotions, potentially overwhelming your mind and stirring spiritual awakening. This phase may render you more anxious, irritable, and snappy, with possible disruptions to your sleep patterns. Your emotional state and ego reach their peak during this time.

The Moon’s Influence

1. The Moon affects the pineal gland, regulating hormones.
2. It responds to your bioelectric aura.
3. The Moon facilitates spiritual growth and awakening.
4. It accumulates memories, experiences, and thoughts in your conscious, unconscious, and subconscious mind.

Moon Phases and Astrology

The Moon’s phases signify dualism and antagonism, making it a symbol of completion and a representation of the interplay between good and evil. As the moulder of minds, the Moon plays a vital role in shaping our thoughts and emotions.

Sharad Pournima and Moon Significance
