Just as the waxing and waning of the Moon affects the tides in the sea (which incidentally also affects our moods), in astrology the planet Moon influences the horoscope of a person by producing many favourable and unfavourable results. You might want to consider the use of remedies for the Moon to get positive outcomes.
In Vedic astrology, the Moon represents our psychological and emotional needs. The Moon is considered a benefic planet of the highest order, but a dark Moon is malefic.
