The Moon governs the mind, and it's position in one's horoscope determines a person's habitual patterns of thought, feeling and volition. it rules all professions associated with water, such as sailing and fishing, and it influences the tidal patterns of oceans and seas as well as bodily fluids.  Lunar energy is associated with the water element, the color white, motherhood and femininity, romance and love. The Moon is a soft, sensitive planet with fluid, feminine qualities.

   If the Moon is exalted one will be wealthy, industrious and respected. But if the position of the Moon  is weak or afflicted then contrary results may be expected. Diabetes, alcohol and drug abuse, and all types of emotional distress are also associated with debilitated Lunar energy.  ORANGE is the cosmic color transmitted by pearls and other Lunar gems. Orange color waves are cold and are therefore useful in treating diseases of the bodily secretions and blood caused by excessive heat in the body. Fine Moon jewels are known to be helpful in cases of mental derangements caused by an excess of heat in the heart and brain. Moon astral talismans will also enhance all mental faculties, pacify emotions, induce tranquility, and improve artistic creativity.

   Gemstones ruled by the Moon are natural pearl, white coral & moonstone. Flawless (eye-clean) stones are required in order for Moon astral talismans to properly transmit beneficial Lunar energy.

   Moon Astral Talismans should first be worn on Monday at evening time after reciting the following mantra 11 times :

"Aum som somaya namah."
