Yadnyaadi rituals, devata upasana, yoga sadhanas have a close relation with the Moon. It is important to keep the mind fully engaged in any sadhana to achieve the full results. The moon is the mind of the Creator (kaal purusha). It originates from the mind of the supreme purush.
There's a rucha in purush sukta-
ca̱ndramā̱ mana̍so jā̱taḥ . cakṣo̱ḥ sūryo̍ ajāyata .
mukhā̱dindra̍ścā̱gniśca̍ . prā̱ṇādvā̱yura̍jāyata .
Then there's this rucha in atharvaveda-
yatra brahmavido yānti dīkṣayā tapasā saha candro mā tatra nayatu manaścandro dadhātu me candrāya svāhā ||
somo mā tatra nayatu payaḥ somo dadhātu me somāya svāhā ||"
In these two mantras, the moon has been called the factor of mind and water. It is an experienced fact that the mind is pleased to see the moon and the water as such. The tide of activity of the mind keeps rising in the heart. The tanmaatraas or five senses are included in the mind. The senses are fickle in nature. The moon is also fickle. There are five tanmaatraas including the mind... 'Hridaye chittasanvit'.
By entering the heart with the senses including the mind, the scholar crosses the dangerous currents of samsara by the boat of meditation (bramhadhyaan/ bramhachintan). Alhaad (bliss) is the connoisseur of God- 'Anandam Brahma'. That's why moon means God. Therefore, after looking at the position of the moon in the birth chart only, one should try to accomplish a perticular spiritual practice. The mind of the person is influenced by the position of the moon in the horoscope.
Therefore, the person whose moon is in a fixed sign in his horoscope viz. Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius, as well as it is in a fixed house like second, fifth, eighth or eleventh, such a person is completely suitable for meditation. That means he will get complete success. If the Moon is in Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius but not in the second, fifth, eighth or eleventh house, still the native will be successful in his spiritual practice by doing a long term regular sadhana, but with delay.Similarly, if the moon is in sthira bhav i.e. second, fifth, eighth or eleventh house but the moon sign is not Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius, then also the sadhna will be successful. But the jaatak will have to struggle mentally for a long period to get himself/herself into a regular routine. If moon is influenced by Saturn or is in conjunction with Saturn then also one be omes a good yogic practitioner.
If the Moon is in any of the four signs like Aries, Cancer, Libra or Capricorn, then the mind of the person becomes fickle. Such a mind is unfit for yoga practice. Jatak changes thoughts every moment. Cannot sit peacefully in one place. Along with the zodiac sign, if there is moon in the first, fourth, seventh or tenth house, then also mind becomes very fickle which is not good for yoga sadhan or dhyaan sadhana. But such sadhakas are good for tantrik sadhanas which are quickly fruit bearing, require intense emotional force and don't need regular stringent discipline. Such people with moon in 4th, 8th and 12th house, sitting in a tamasik rashi or influenced by tamasik planets can attain success in tantra sadhanas, vamachar, aghorachara and kaulachara.
If the Moon is in dual signs (3, 6, 9, 12), then the mind of such a person is dialectical. The person of such attitude is extremely materialistic or worldly. His/her mind is commercial. He/she is tactful. These qualities increase when the Moon is in dual nature signs (3, 6, 9, 12). Such a person can achieve the goal with difficulty in spiritual practice.
Moon if placed in male rashis(1,3,5,7,9,11) attracts one to make devata worship and the ones whose moon is in female rashis (2,4,6,8,10,12) are attracted towards female devata upasana. Now a days because of the influence of Rahu many people fall in the traps of the advertisements by commercial gurus and get attracted to them. By virtue of which they start wrong upasanas which lead them to problems in future.
One should be very careful before starting any serious spiritual practice and see the position and strength one's moon in the chart. The results very much depend on positioning of the moon and chandrabala or tarabala.
