Moon in the 1st House

Tanu Bhav — self, body, personality

Favourable Results

The native (the person whose chart it is) has a beautiful, charming face and form. He is pure in nature, wealthy, cheerful, religious, and compassionate. He is learned. Money spent on education (vidya) is never wasted; in particular, learning proves very helpful in matters connected with the state. Such a native is dear to women, and especially receives great love from his mother. He is glorious and learned. He is very happy in life. He makes several journeys abroad. He takes an interest in social work. His birth comes as the fruit of his parents' special longing, or his mother and father obtain such a native as their child only after much yearning. For this reason he is very dear to his parents. After his birth, their financial condition too becomes excellent. The native's fortune (bhagya) increases greatly by serving his mother and elderly women and continually receiving their blessings. In this bhava, Chandra (the Moon) gives especially auspicious results in Mesha (Aries), Vrishabha (Taurus), and Karka (Cancer).

Unfavourable Results

If the Moon is waning (kshina, weak) or connected with cruel (malefic) grahas, the native is false, ungrateful, agitated in mind, cunning, and very wretched. In adverse circumstances he panics quickly. He suffers from cough, respiratory ailments, and disorders of vata (the wind humour). It may be that such a native has no elder siblings, or that they had already passed away before his birth. Through freeloading (living off others) or by selling milk, the native's financial condition will steadily worsen.
