The sign where the Moon is placed gives us important clues about our mental configuration. But the planet that rules this sign will help us understand how we experience the world around us through emotions and thoughts. Because this planet controls our thoughts and experiences.

If this planet is exalted or placed well in the chart our thoughts are positive and auspicious, it leads us to the right actions. But if this planet is debilitated or placed negatively then it can cause a lot of trouble because it brings negativity and doubts into our thinking. It influences you to find faults based on the significations of that planet. It does not allow you to keep things simple and enjoy your life.

Example Moon in Taurus is considered one of the best positions for the Moon as Moon is exalted in Taurus. But if Venus the ruler of Taurus goes into the sign of Virgo where it is debilitated then the positives of Taurus Moon will become hard to manifest because of the debilitated Venus. The houses ruled by Venus and the natural significations of venus may get negative. We may not like to be associated with that planet and it’s significators.

So at this time it is important to remedy Venus.
