Waxing and Waning Moon Astrology

In Astrology Moon is a very important planet because Moon rules our mind and consciousness. according to our mind or conscious we perceive things. The world is same, people are same but it is our internal environment which is not same and according to that, we react to the people and things around us. The moon represents our instinctual responses to life and carries our unconscious memories from past lives.

What are Moon Phases?

The relationship between the Sun and Moon in the sky is what creates the waxing and waning light of the moon each month. As the whole moon cycle from new moon to new moon is 4 weeks long. The Moon Phases refer to the moon's orbit around the earth in relation to the Sun. In astrology, the Moon influences the mind depending on whether the moon is full, new, increasing or decreasing in your birth chart.  The moon phases repeat the same cycles every month. Every month there is the last quarter and decreasing moon, also referred to as the waning moon, leading to the new moon, the new moon first quarter and increasing moon is also referred to as the waxing moon leading to the full moon, and the cycle starts over again. The first quarter and last quarter moon are ninety degrees to the sun and are exactly half in shadow, half in light. The new moon is the moon's side in darkness. The full moon is the completely illuminated side of the moon.

Mostly people think that Waning Moon is not good and does not give good result. We should discriminate in our interpretation between what is called waxing and waning aspects.

According to vedic astrology, the Waxing or increasing Moon brings new ideas and activities. The Full Moon is the fully illuminated moon, and activities and celebrations are heightened in creativity and effect. The Waning or decreasing Moon symbolizes winding down of activities, and purification. And the New Moon is a time for reflection and introspection. The waxing side of the aspect cycle is where we come up with ideas, make plans to implement them, and actually put these plans into action, building something real, something outward and usually in the physical world. This is where we give. The waning side of the aspect cycle is where we work with whatever we have built and created, coming to understand what it is, how to best use it, and what it means to us. Here we are receiving, accepting what is, and learning to work with that. Waxing Moon helps the area of life it influences to grow. Waning Moon causes external areas of life to fade, while causing one’s inner worlds to grow. With a waning Moon, we experience loss of outer world in order to gain inner fulfillment and inner growth. Those people who have waning moon if they know how to manage their emotions they can really do good meditation practice.  

Moon represents pearl, purity, healing, and white color. White holds all colors of the spectrum. Silver is the other color associated with the moon. In Vedic astrology, wearing gemstones such as pearl, moonstone, silver or white quartz used for remedies for get benefits from the Moon energy. By wearing the silver and white colors you can make a connection with the Moon and it helps you to stay calm and cool. 

Moon, Emotions, Mother

Benefic and Malefic Planets in Astrology



In Vedic Astrology there are nine planets and according to their nature they are known as benefic (good)  and malefic (not good) planets. Rahu (North Node) and Ketu (South Node) are always considered malefics planets for everyone, but these are the points which helps in your soul growth after giving mental suffering. 


Benefic (good) planets are: Waxing Moon, Venus, and Jupiter. These planets are considered mild and benefics in general. 


Malefics (not good) planets are: Waning Moon, Mars, Saturn and Sun. These planets are considered cruel in nature and malefics in general. 


But this is not the truth. The planets benefic or malefic is depending on the house rulerships of the planets according to your ascendant. 


Every planet rules different houses according to the ascendant and on the basis of that planets considered benefics and malefics. 


In vedic astrology there are some houses which are considered malefic and these houses are 6th, 8th and 12th houses. Depending on your ascendant these house rules by different planets and these planets considered malefic for that particular ascendant.  These planets are known as functional malefics because they give results of malefics houses. 


Every planet rules two signs in Vedic astrology and has its mooltrikona signs; it means the sign is stronger in nature.


         PLANET                       LORD                                  MOOLTRIKONA SIGN


  1. Sun                            Leo                                       Leo  (0-20 degrees)

  2. Moon                         Cancer                                  Taurus  (4 - 20 degrees)

  3. Mars                          Aries, Scorpio                        Aries  (0-12 degrees)

  4. Mercury                     Virgo, Gemini                        Virgo  (16-20 degrees)

  5. Jupiter                       Sagittarius, Pisces                 Sagittarius  (0-10 degrees)

  6. Venus                      Taurus, Libra                           Libra  (0-17 degrees)

  7. Saturn                       Capricorn, Aquarius                Aquarius  (0-20 degrees)


So if these planet's mooltrikona sign falls in 6th, 8th, and 12th house that planet is considered malefic. 


So let's see what are functional malefics planets for each ascendants:


Aries: Mercury (mooltrikona sign Virgo falls in 6th house). Rahu and Ketu.


Taurus: Venus (mooltrikona sign Libra falls in 6th house), Jupiter (mooltrikona sign Sagittarius falls in 8th house), Mars (mooltrikona sign Aries falls in 12th house), Rahu and Ketu.


Gemini: No mooltrikona signs fall in 6th, 8th and 12th house. So no functional malefics planets for Gemini ascendant. 


Cancer: Jupiter (mooltrikona sign Sagittarius falls in 6th house), Saturn (mooltrikona sign aquarius falls in 8th house). 


Leo: No mooltrikona signs fall in 6th, 8th and 12th house. So no functional malefics planets for Leo ascendant, but Moon considered malefic because it rules the 12th house. 


Virgo: Saturn, (mooltrikona sign Aquarius falls in 6th house), Mars (mooltrikona sign Aries falls in 6th house), Sun, (mooltrikona sign Leo falls in 12th house).


Libra: Mercury (mooltrikona sign Virgo falls in 12th house). 


Scorpio: Mars (mooltrikona sign Aries falls in 6th house), Venus (mooltrikona sign Libra falls in 12th house). 


Sagittarius: The Moon (mooltrikona sign Taurus falls in 6th house). Rahu and Ketu.


Capricorn: The Sun (mooltrikona sign Leo falls in 8th house), Jupiter (mooltrikona sign Sagittarius falls in 12th house).


Aquarius: The Moon considered malefic as it ruled 6th house, Mercury (mooltrikona sign Virgo falls in 8th house). 


Pisces: The Sun (mooltrikona sign Leo falls in 6th house), Venus (mooltrikona sign Libra falls in 8th house), Saturn (mooltrikona sign Aquarius falls in 12th house).


 Rahu and Ketu malefics for every ascendant. 


So whenever these planets mahadasha run, the person suffers through some difficulty in life according to their house rulership.

Twelfth (12th) House Astrology




In astrology, the twelfth has been called the house of sorrow, servitude, loss, mystery, and  the house of one’s own self-undoing. The twelfth is regarded as the most mystical of all houses, a place of deep spiritual realization, and enlightenment. So in some ways the 12th house also has some of the most positive houses of all.


The 12th house is the last house that really shows the place where we can connect with the collective conscious, subconscious and unconscious. Everyone has a 12th house and according to the 12th house condition, we can assess what is the level of evolution of the person. If you have Venus in the 12th  house it may have different meanings according to the dignity of the planet.  Everybody's tapping in the 12th house for their own spiritual quest.  If we are related to spirituality this is the house where we all come from this “universe’’ which means, it's the house in which we can associate ourselves with the absolute unity beyond separation and understand that we are on the same boat we owe basically trying to achieve the same things. The 12th house is the house of surrendering to higher energies into his higher consciousness because you don't have a choice. 


The 12th house is what belongs to everyone: it's the air, it is the resources, and it's the weather. Everything that is part of nature is the 12th house. So the 12th house relates to that collective collective atmosphere. The best thing about the 12th house is it's impersonal. You don't own anything in the 12th house, and you have no control. Everyone has free access to ask something from the unknown but you don’t know whether you will get it or not. It is the house of prayer, meditation and divine powers. 


Although the 12th house is the hidden house. In the 12th house you can see pain, a true compassionate person, or a individuals that can be really great public figures. People that can move to the collective consciousness can change history.  You can also have a person selling food in the market, because that person is offering a public service and he doesn't choose who will come and buy his food and will go. 12th house, It's all open to the public there's no personal contact and this is what happens with a 12th house you have no control. So in the 12th house you have to accept everyone, you cannot discriminate in your open store. This can be overwhelming because you have to serve these different kinds of unknown people who enter your store.


So through the 12th house we learn surrendering, acceptance of whoever will enter in your life. You have to open to everyone without any discrimination.  So there is a very strong requirement to adapt, to open, and to be flexible. You have to let go of control and see that specific energy. So the 12th house feels like open to all the surprises possible and if you don't have the power of adaptation you will lose in your 12th house and you become easily overwhelmed. So there's a lot of potential in the 12th house. In 12th house basically you have to flow with the stream and whatever the way it will take that's where you're going. It doesn't mean that you're lost at sea or you cannot navigate your boat. You can choose whatever you want to sell in your shop. but once you are exposed in the 12th house you have to open up and you have to adapt. 


If you don't have immunity you can easily become overwhelmed. Those people who have 12th lord in the 1st house are exposed to the public in every way, exposed to the public's ideas, exposed to the public motion and exposed to the public trash as well.  It is simply because they are overly exposed and don't have enough of an immunity. They can become paranoid because they don't have defenses, everybody's coming from everywhere and they simply feel unsafe. 


Most public figures have a very heavy 12th house or Pisces energy in tenth house because these people have to explore these dynamics.
