The Moon chart, or Chandra Kundali, is crucial in a horoscope. When combined with the Rashi chart and Bhava chalit, the Moon chart reveals a native's mental tendency. Yoga from the Moon is very important. Our Karmas, or acts, are planted by the Moon. It also regulates our emotions and our likes and dislikes. The Moon is the source of all emotions, and thus controls us through feelings. It is said that people who know themselves well can read the Moon very easily. They can predict how others will feel about something before they even say anything about it. The Moon is the nearest planet to Earth, and so it affects us most directly. It makes moods in us, it influences the tides, and it sets the clock for us. Despite not being a star, it still emits light and heat. And just like stars, the color of the Moon's surface changes depending on what part of the sky it's in. Light from the Sun reflects off the surface of the Moon, but only if it hits it at a slight angle - else it bounces back out into space. The Moon is divided up into phases: New, Full, Crescent, and Old. These reflect how the Moon is lighting up the night sky as seen from Earth. For example, when the Moon is new, it is showing itself completely dark except for a small bright spot where the North Pole is facing it. This is because the far side of the Moon is always facing away from Earth.
