5 Deep Emotional Struggles of the Moon in the Soul: A Story of Cosmic Challenges and Inner Turmoil
“Chandramah Manso Jatah” — from the ancient Purusha Sukta, this profound verse tells us that the Moon was born from the Mind of the Cosmic Being — the Virat Purusha. It wasn’t merely an astral object in the sky, but the very embodiment of emotions, feelings, and the subconscious.
In the grand celestial dance, the relationship between the Sun and the Moon is that of the Giver and the Receiver. The Sun (Surya) is the life force — the pranic energy, the source of light and consciousness — while the Moon (Chandra) absorbs, reflects, and nourishes that life. The Moon becomes a vessel of vitality, cultivating the strength and softness we need to navigate life. It is the Moon who turns the Sun’s harsh rays into cooling balm — a gentle glow that touches the emotional core of human existence. Surya is the light… Moon is the yearning.
When this sacred balance between the Sun and Moon is disturbed, it doesn’t just shake our emotional equilibrium, it reflects in our physical health too. As Deepanshu Sir often says: “Most physical ailments begin in the emotional body.” We carry emotions like grudges, anger, pain — silently, day after day — and slowly, they start affecting our immunity. The body begins to ache, not because it is weak, but because the heart has become too heavy.
Moon is our mental disposition. It governs our emotions, our reactions, our subconscious mind — the parts of us we don’t often see, but which direct so much of how we live. For people who are Moon-driven, emotions are experienced deeply, intensely, and completely. These individuals absorb every word, every gesture, every wound — storing them within. But like a vessel filled beyond its brim, this emotional hoarding can lead to emotional overload and chaos.
🌕A Real-Life Story from a Lunar Astro Consultation
In a recent Lunar Astro Consultation, a native approached with complaints that seemed mostly physical on the surface — constant body ache, extreme mood swings, manic highs, depressive lows, and a recurring loop of chaotic, disturbing dreams.
As soon as the consultation began, within just the first two minutes, the consultant (Lacode 5031) intuitively and precisely recognized that the root cause wasn’t physical at all — it was entirely emotional. The native had a pattern of self-sabotage, stored deep in her subconscious, which was now manifesting as physical symptoms.
Her Moon was afflicted — a clear indicator of emotional imbalance, and the behaviors reflected it: impulsivity, food-related emotional outbursts, clashes within the family, and bouts of unexplained anger towards herself. These emotions, long buried, were now surfacing as somatic distress.
The dreams she was experiencing were not random; they were symbolic downloads from the subconscious — trying to process unresolved emotions, long-forgotten memories, and deep karmic patterns. Carl Jung, the renowned Swiss psychiatrist, also understood this phenomenon well. In fact, he often analyzed his patients’ birth charts to trace the origins of psychological distress and believed that the Moon held the key to unlocking the mysteries of the mind.
🌘 Moon as the Emotional Ascendant
In astrology, the Moon is so significant, it is often used as the Ascendant itself. When we read a chart from the Moon’s point of view (Chandra Lagna), we tap into the emotional layers of a person’s life. It is crucial to observe which sign the Moon is placed in, and more importantly, whose influence it is under — because the Moon can absorb energies even from the subtle, ethereal worlds. This makes it an intuitive sponge — extremely powerful yet extremely sensitive.
When the native finally felt seen, heard, and understood, there was an emotional release. That’s what a real consultation does — not just give solutions, but uncover the right problem. When emotional truths are acknowledged, healing begins.
🌑 Final Insight
The Moon is the emotional blueprint of the soul. When it is weak, afflicted, or imbalanced, it can wreak havoc not just emotionally but physically and spiritually. But when the Moon is nurtured, healed, and aligned — it becomes our guide, our protector, our inner lighthouse.
Emotional health is the foundation of overall health. Just like we nourish our body, we must tend to our emotions, release what no longer serves us, and embrace practices that bring peace and clarity to our inner world.
Let this be a gentle reminder — your Moon matters. More than you think.
