You want to know lagna or rashi chart – which is important
For the purposes of Astrology predictions we generally refer to the Birth chart which is also known as the D1 chart. This is based upon rising sign also known as Ascendant. It is known as the lagan chart. The accuracy of prediction through Lagan chart is much more than predictions made through Moon chart or chander Kundli.
The primary reason for choosing a Lagan chart chart over Moon chart is that Lagan is for approximately 2 hours while moon is in 1 sign for 2 1/4 days. In other words Moon travels approx 13 degrees daily and we have each sign for 30 degrees. That means that for example Moon is in Aries then for next 2 1/4 days everyone born will have the Moon sign or Rashi as Aries. That means for all these people the Moon chart will be same. Logically speaking it is not possible that all people born for 2 1/4 days have same destiny, luck and fate.
Having said that Moon is the significator for the mind. It is the indeed very important for looking at moon , because it shows the mind of the person. We follow the moon in all our festivals and deciding auspicious mahurats.
All compatibility that we do, that is Horoscope matching etc is from the Moon and the birth Nakshatra. Therefore Moon has a very important role in Vedic astrology, but for prediction of events it is best to rely more on Lagan chart and not on Moon chart.
