Lunar Calendar Monica Jyotish Center.com

Please note: The Moon travels through each zodiac constellation every 2 ½ days. Also, each zodiac constellation contains several Moon Stars, called Nakshatras. The Nakshatras overlap among the constellations. There are 27 lunar mansions, or Nakshatras.

A NEW Note About The Moon

Emotions run deep like still water. The moon not only affects weather, tides and gravity on the Earth planet, but it influences our emotions. Emotions are in sync with moon transits as it travels through a new constellation every 2 ½ days. You can refer to my Moon Sign Glossary for how the Moon affects us as it travels through the various Zodiac constellations. The Moon is associated with emotion, and the Mother. Nurturing feelings,
Turbulent feelings, confused feelings, feelings of love, warmth, and negative feelings and others are associated with the Moon. The Moon is associated with tides (water) and gravity, and underlying feelings.
Monday is Moon’s day. The full moon is associated with peak of emotion and creativity. The moon building up to the full moon is the waxing moon, which builds upon creating new projects, building new relationships. When you want to increase action, best time to do it is during the waxing moon as the moon increases in strength. For waning actions, refer to the waning moon, which culminates in the new moon. During the waning moon that leads to the new moon, things wind down, and come to closure. Feelings and emotions are also related to closure.

The Daily Moon Star. The Moon Star for the day is listed in the calendar. The calendar lists the Moon star for the day, and this will give you an idea on better activities for the day, and since the Moon Star is ruled by certain planets, you will also get the influence from those planets as well. Click on the Moon Star for the day and it will take you to the Moon Star Glossary, and you can find out more about the quality or characteristics of that Nakshatra or Moon Star. The Moon Star is also ruled by the planets, and the day will not only have the influence of the Moon Star, but the ruling planet of the Moon Star, as well as the Moon Sign.

Difference in application between the Daily Moon Star and the birth Moon Star: The Daily Moon Star is not to be confused with the birth Nakshatra or Moon Star. Of course they are the same 27 Lunar Mansions or Nakshatras or Moon Stars, yet the application is different. The Daily Moon Star will give the general flavor of the day, whereas your birth Nakshatra or Moon Star tells you your personality characteristics.

Discover your birth Nakshatra personality characteristics by looking up your natal Moon Star in the Moon Star Glossary. The Nakshatra in your chart could influence personality and characteristics from the time of birth. See the Moon Star Glossary for more information. Please note that you will already need to know what your birth or natal moon star is before you can look up the characteristics of your birth moon star. For this, you will need to know your birth moon star from your chart. If you do not know your birth moon star, and would like my help in finding out what it is, feel free to email me at monica@jyotishcenter.com..

Recently added: the moon cycle devas. The various lunar days (tithis) (which are slightly shorter than solar days) are governed by various Devas. The Devas rotate around the new moon and full moon cycles as follows:
