Moon chart
Moon charts, often referred to as chandra kundli, is an important tool used in Vedic Astrology. It determines the position of your planets in your natal chart and can often provide more insight as a birth charts but there are some distinct differences between the two.
The Moon that controls our moods, emotions and moods, is located in the first house of our birth chart. If the planet is out of alignment to your chart, it may be suffering from depression, lung disease, or mood shifts.
It is crucial to understand the details in your Moon sign to understand the person you are and its impact on the people who surround you.

In addition, it’s frequently associated with mothers since it represents nurturing and taking care of others.
When you read your moon sign, an astrologer will analyze the chart for aspects which are lines that connect the planets. They could represent conjunctions, trines, sextiles, squares and oppositions.
The moon’s signification for your natal is the perfect place to get information about your own needs and desires and what makes you happy and what are the most significant maternal influences in your life. It also reveals how you acquire and share information, and how you interact with gods of love and money.
Transits
Astrology studies transits as the movement of planets. They form aspects with current time of the planets in the chart of an event an entity, person or even a person (the birth chart).
The planets that move faster, such as Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus and Mars move through the zodiac in just about an hour; Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto pass through similar degrees several times. This can greatly increase the validity of a particular transit such that Jupiter traverses every degree three times while Saturn does so once.
The planets that move faster may not be as important to many people’s lives than slower-moving ones, but they are still important elements of a natal chart , referred to as transits.
Astrologers pay special focus on changes in the houses, signs and the natal chart when interpreting planet transits. Generally, an orb of one degree is taken during a transit, and observations can be made for a further three or five degrees based on how long the aspect will take to be precise and the strength of the aspect leading up to that point.
When the transiting Sun, Moon or personal planet is a significant connection to a birth planet, angle or other particular point, it puts the cycle in motion and may signify a significant pivotal moment that is a psychological or spiritual theme or life moment. It could also affect your sense of self-identity as well as being sensitive to other people’s moods or feelings.
For example, if the Moon is in square Saturn in your birth chart, this could be a sign of emotional suppression or insecurity. In contrast, if this aspect is created by another planet this could indicate a change of your self-perception and it is the release from these habits and new way of living.
Progressions
Astrologers use secondary progressions (or second motions) for interpreting your chart. The slow-moving changes may be a sign of personality changes, emotional development, the areas of karmic focus and noteworthy achievements that a soul achieved throughout its lifetime.
Astrological positions are calculated using several techniques. The most widely-used method is called that of the “day-for-a-year” technique, in which astronomers compare the day following birth to one year of living. Another popular approach relies on solar arc directions: astronomers measure the distance between the progressed Sun and the birth Sun, then add the distance in degrees to the different planets, and even points.
These techniques allow you to observe the growth of your personality through time and act as a base to make predictions. For instance, if Venus shifts from Taurus to Gemini and you feel more drawn to connections with your mind than physical ones. Or, you might choose to change careers and consider new opportunities.
Other significant aspects to watch for in a progressed chart are those created by those of the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus and Mars. These planets can indicate your sense of identity and the way you present yourself. When any is anaretic (in the new sign or slow in movement) it could mean something significant for you.
Other planet positions to be considered on a chart that is progressed are the ascensant midheaven and the career point. They represent a person’s self-image and ambitions, as well as personal goals , and are typically the most influential points on the chart. Furthermore, these can reveal how one’s ego has grown, evolved and developed in the course of time.
Manifestation
The practice of manifesting is applying a positive mental attitude to help your dreams come true. It usually involves the use of affirmations, meditation, prayer as well as other practices of spirituality. It can be used to achieve various goals, including financial success and finding love.
But manifestation can come with its own set of issues and problems. Certain mental health professionals believe that manifestation can be harmful or even dangerous for some people.
Dr. Ng, a psychologist at University of California-San Francisco, notes that manifesting can be used as a way to get away from past or present situations. People suffering from depression or anxiety might feel manifesting as a distraction from the issues at hand Dr. Ng says.
Hokemeyer stresses the positives of manifesting, especially for people who require the feeling of control in their lives. By manifesting something new – like a career change – people can feel like they’re making progress and possess an inner sense of self-awareness Hokemeyer states.
Hokemeyer insists that manifesting is an effective approach to goal setting, giving people a sense of agency over their future. Hokemeyer adds that manifesting could also be beneficial when it comes to therapeutic settings for those dealing with traumas or other mental health problems.
When it comes to astrology and manifesting there are some fundamental guidelines that all practitioners must adhere to. The first step is to identify your goals and be clear about it. Identify any obstacles standing in your way of reaching it, and then work towards conquering them. It is also important to be thankful for what blessings come your through.
