A favorable Moon will make the native good at communicating and listening and mindful of the comfort levels of other’s. The native will take initiative to help people develop themselves intellectually and physically. A favorable Moon reminds me of loving mothers, attentive teachers and compassionate nurses.
An unfavorable Moon leads to an overall emotional instability. Unstable emotions make it difficult for the native to socialize and connect. There is difficulty in nurturing.

Juliana Swanson
The Navamsa in Vedic Astrology
90 Minute Presentation
Vedic astrology ascribes great value to an intricate scheme of 16 harmonic charts, which extend inclusively from the rashi to the shastiamsa. These divisional charts reveal the more hidden qualities of the rashi chart; in effect, they augment the information depicted in the rashi. Harmonics typically provide deeper insight into specific matters, including career, wealth, health, progeny, relationship, and so on. Order Juliana Swanson's Pre-recorded Webinar
