I give great emphasis to the Moon in my readings as it represents a person’s EQ or Emotional Quotient, which sometimes is more if not as important than the IQ or the Intelligence Quotient.

Moon or Chandra represents your mind and emotions, your sensitivity, and your mother, among other things.

If you have a well-placed Moon, you would do well in life, since you would be mentally able to weather all of life’s storms. On the other hand, if you have a badly placed Moon, your life would be full of emotional turmoil and despite having everything materialistically, you would not get peace of mind.

A person with a badly placed Moon may not be able to regulate their emotions to their advantage. They may express anger, sadness or excitement that is out of proportion to the immediate experience. For example, they may lash out for a small incident or feel melancholic often. Some of them may face emotional distress/disorders.

Full/new Moon nights accentuate this phenomenon. Research done in the US showed that on full/new Moon nights, inmates in mental asylums were uncontrollable. Just as the Moon affects the tides in the oceans, during a full/new Moon, our body is also affected since the human body is 60% water. All of us are extra emotional or edgy (especially ones with a badly placed Moon); some face uncontrollable emotional turmoil or even rage.

Therefore, if your Moon is in the 6th, 8th or 12th house of your lagna chart, please observe how you feel on the coming Lunar Eclipse on November 8, 2022.

Observe your emotional self. If you feel inordinately distressed, you should get your chart checked and follow the remedies prescribed by an astrologer.

That would be a practical experiment of astrology and its direct impact on you.
