What Moon governs
Moon signifies mind, mother, emotions, comfort, the public. Its strength is read from the sign it occupies, the house it sits in, the company it keeps and the aspects it receives — never from one factor alone.
The Moon dasha
In the Vimshottari system Moon runs for 10 years. It governs the nakshatras Rohini, Hasta, Shravana, so a Moon in any of those begins life inside a Moon period.
