Siddhānta — the theory
C andra is the nearest of the nine grahas, and the most personal. The Sun is who you are at the root; the Moon is how that self meets each passing day — receiving, feeling, remembering. Before we open the two lenses, hold one image: the Moon shines with no light of its own. Everything it gives, it has first received.
Movement I · Siddhānta — two lenses on the Moon
The Moon is the personality — the receptive surface of the self, the storehouse of memory and habit. It governs how we feel and respond before thought begins; its sign colours the whole emotional temperament.
Candra is manas — the mind itself, and the mother. Through the nakṣatra it occupies, it carries the karmic texture the soul brought into this birth.
The Moon has no light of its own; it only reflects the Sun — the soul. The whole work of the path is to make the mind a still, clear mirror, so the soul's light passes through it undistorted. A troubled Moon is not a flaw but an instruction: this is the water you are asked to calm.
“Still the lake, and the moon within it stands whole.”
Your mind is a mirror shaped by the past. The West reads its surface — personality and feeling. Jyotiṣa reads its depth — manas, the karmic soil of the nakṣatra. The spiritual path names its purpose — to reflect the soul without distortion. So the sign, house and nakṣatra of your Moon tell you the shape your mirror took. Mastery is to read that shape on sight — and, in time, to still it.
Abhyāsa — hands at the wheel
Theory is the hook; this is the work. Drag the Moon around the dial — or click any sign — to move Candra, and watch the mirror change shape as it passes each house. Move through all twelve until each temperament is a reflex.

Prayoga — read the life, place the light
Abhyāsa gave you the sign and asked how {{ planetEn }} behaves there. Now work the way a reader truly works — backward. Read a life shaped by {{ planetEn }}, decide which sign it stands in, and place the light there on the wheel. No options are listed and no score is kept; a wrong guess costs nothing — only the reasoning you build.

Siddhi — read it cold.
No passive completion. Here is an unseen placement. Name the nature of the mind before the answer is revealed — the wheel will tell you at once whether you have it.
