Nature

Benefic when waxing and bright; the dark-fortnight Moon counts as mild malefic in classical reckoning — a matter of emotional fullness, not fate. Sattvic, watery, the fastest and most personal graha.

Significations (karakatvas)

Karaka of the mind (manas): emotions, the mother, nurture, the public and popularity, fluids, fertility, the left eye, sleep, memory. Jyotish reads the whole chart from the Moon as well as the lagna — the mind is that central.

भाव फल · Candra through the 12 houses

Candra in the 1st house (तनु भाव)

Tanu Bhāva

The heart on the face: emotional presence, popularity and a responsive, changeable temperament; charm is innate, steadiness is the practice.

Candra in the 2nd house (धन भाव)

Dhana Bhāva

Nourishing speech and fluctuating but recurring wealth; strong food and family instincts. The voice itself can be an asset.

Candra in the 3rd house (सहज भाव)

Sahaja Bhāva

A curious, communicative mind: emotional courage grows by doing; warm ties with siblings and a taste for short journeys and writing.

Candra in the 4th house (बन्धु भाव)

Bandhu/Sukha Bhāva

The Moon at home and strong: deep bond with mother, homeland, vehicles and domestic happiness; the emotional foundation of the whole chart.

Candra in the 5th house (पुत्र भाव)

Putra Bhāva

A creative, romantic mind: intelligence flavored by imagination, love of children, learning and devotional or artistic play.

Candra in the 6th house (अरि भाव)

Ari/Ripu Bhāva

The caretaker in service: emotional investment in work and healing; the mind needs routines that nourish it — self-care is doctrine here, not indulgence.

Candra in the 7th house (युवति भाव)

Yuvatī/Kalatra Bhāva

The partnered mind: emotional fulfillment sought through relationship and the public; popularity in dealings, with the lesson of a stable inner anchor.

Candra in the 8th house (रन्ध्र भाव)

Randhra/Āyu Bhāva

A psychically deep Moon: intuition, research instinct and sensitivity to the unseen; classical texts counsel emotional protection — depth is the gift once the mind learns to anchor.

Candra in the 9th house (धर्म भाव)

Dharma/Bhāgya Bhāva

The devoted mind: faith, philosophy, fortunate journeys and blessings through mother and teachers; emotional life organized around meaning.

Candra in the 10th house (कर्म भाव)

Karma Bhāva

The public's Moon: career touching many people — care, food, trade, the crowd; reputation waxes with genuine responsiveness to public need.

Candra in the 11th house (लाभ भाव)

Lābha Bhāva

Gains through networks and popularity: many friendships, fluctuating but real income streams, wishes that ripen through community.

Candra in the 12th house (व्यय भाव)

Vyaya Bhāva

The contemplative Moon: rich inner life, imagination, foreign residence and sanctuary-seeking; sleep, retreat and spiritual practice are its medicine.
