In the horoscope, the moon plays the most significant role during the most trying times. Suppose your Moon (thinking, temperament, and inner strength) are not good and you temporarily lose your job, your business, have a relationship problem, or acquire a disease. In this situation, you can feel lost or make matters worse. If your mind, your cognitive process, and your inner instincts are within your control, you can handle even the harshest conditions. However, if your Moon is weak, you are more likely to rely on what other people have to say and to base your judgements and actions on their opinions rather than your own.

The Moon controls your mind and how you think, so you can employ the power and authority that the Sun bestows. Moon represents what you are as such, means yourself in the true sense.

The importance of the Moon in your birth chart also reveals the nutrition you received as a baby.
