You read the room before anyone speaks. Other people's feelings come in as if they were yours — which also means your day gets dragged around by other people's moods.
Myth and role
Chandra married the 27 daughters of Daksha — the 27 birth stars. When he favored Rohini alone, Daksha’s curse made him waste away; Shiva softened the curse by half, and so the Moon waxes and wanes. The crescent Shiva wears on his head is tied to this story.
In Vedic astrology the Moon governs the mind, emotion, and the mother. Because the Moon’s position sets the birth star, it is the most important body in this system.

Everything so far is fixed by your date of birth alone. The 27 birth stars depend on where the Moon was at the moment of birth, so they need a birth time to be certain.
