Before a thought has a name, the Moon has a weather. Chandra is how a day feels: hungry, safe, tidal, thin. Mother, food, sleep, the chest. A waning or afflicted Moon is not a diagnosis of depression. It is a note about the instrument the mind plays.
Nakshatras and dashas hang on the Moon. If you can only learn one graha well, learn this one. The rest of the sky arrives through her.
