Moon takes approx. a month to complete its transit through all 12 zodiac signs and stays in one sign for approx. two and half days. Moon complete transit of 12 zodiac signs is known as one lunar month in Hindu Calendar. A lunar month in the Hindu calendar has two phases and each phase lasts for 15 days. Each day Moon traverses 12 degrees and in 30 days Moon completes one revolution around Earth. The phase of first 15 days, commencing from Dark Moon (the last day of the dark phase of a lunar month) to Full Moon, is called the Shukla Paksha (brighter phase) and the phase of next 15 days commencing from Full Moon to Dark Moon is called Krishna Paksha (darker phase).

In astrology, Moon represents minds, mother, milk, silver, water on earth, liquids in our body, pearls, dairy business, cattle, rices etc. Moon owns Cancer sign and significator of 4th house. Tauras is Moon’s exaltation sign and Scorpio is debilitation sign. Moon in brighter phase is considered a benefic and Moon in darker phase a Weak Moon. Brighter Moon means moving towards a full moon. The moon has no light of its own and It shines with the help of reflected light of the Sun. The Sun is the Soul or say source of energy/power whereas Moon is conductor of power reflected by the Sun. The brighter phase of the Moon, the more of Soul is reflected back. Where Sun is individuality, Moon shows our personality. So, bright Moon is benefic, dark Moon is malefic. Person with a Moon of brighter phase has more opportunities in life to explore and expand their resources, on the other hand A Moon of darker phase is more about dispersion or spreading of knowledge/resources to others. So bright moon is considered more benefice to the native, the dark moon is more beneficial to others. In nutshell we can say that a dark Moon is less effective than bright moon but not malefic.
