Chandra Kundli (Moon Chart) in Vedic Astrology | Importance & Construction

Hi, 

How have you been? I hope you are doing great!

Importance of Moon in our Life

In Vedic Astrology, Moon is considered as the ruler of our emotions, while sun is the ruler of our soul/ego. Moon also represents mother, while Sun represents father. Therefore whenever marriage compatibility analysis is performed, the most important planet is Moon. 

Marriage is not just about sex, it is about the emotions. Therefore one must be emotionally compatible with his/her partner. Therefore it is very important to consider the position of the moon and the resulting chart.

 Importance of the Moon Chart

 We know that Lagnesh(Ascendant lord) in your birth chart is decided on the basis of the position of the ascendant at the time of your birth. Similarly your rashi is decided on the basis of the position of the Moon.
 Ascendant changes its place(zodiac) in about 2 hours and 15 minutes, so Ascendant is the fastest moving entity(imaginary though). Moon travels through a zodiac in about 2 full days and one quarter day.
This way Moon is the second fastest moving entity in your birth-chart. As we know that Ascendant represents our personality/first impression, our physique and forms the basis for the map of your whole life. This makes it the most important chart in the Vedic Astrology. Moon being the Karka(significant) of mind, makes it the next important chart in the Vedic Astrology.

What does Moon Chart Tell about a Person?

If there are Raj Yogas formations in your Lagna chart, they are checked in the Moon charts too, if present in both, this confirms the Yoga. Moon Chart is also used to judge the psyche of the person. Dasha calculations are based on the position of the Moon at the time of your birth. Mind is the most important human organ, so it is evident that Moon Chart has to be given very much importance.
I have read it at a number of places that Shani's(Saturs's) Sadhe Sati( seven and half years) Dasha is judged from the Moon Chart.

Creating a Moon Chart 

 I have consulted a number of good articles and what I have concluded is that Moon Chart is constructed in the following steps.

1. Look at your lagna chart and locate the position of the Moon. 
2. Now rotate all the zodiacs(Rashis) along with the respective planets in them in such a way that Moon and its ruling zodiac(the zodiac in which Moon is present) comes in the place of the Ascendant. 
3. Automatically, all the planets will get shifted from their respective places. For example, a Virgo-Ascendant has its Moon placed in the 10th house of Gemini. This means that person belongs to Gemini Rashi (moon).  In order to prepare you Moon Chart, bring the Gemini along with moon into the house number one. 
4. Ascendant will get moved from its first house to a house located at same number of house distance with which the Moon was placed behind the Ascendant. This new chart is your Moon birth-chart.

Now, briefly, let me take you through two different kinds of Chandra Kundli Charts.

  There are certain people who draw the Chandra Kundli as shown in the Chart 2, however it would not be a correct way. Chart 3 shows the correct Moon Kundli.
