It also signifies one’s ability to adapt and accept good fortune in one’s life. It represents the Mother and one’s relationship with her as well as aspects like comfort and nourishment.  The Moon’s Qualities It is believed that the Moon is saumya (gentle) when it’s waxing and krura or cruel when it’s waning. The Moon brings comfort and adaptability in whichever area of life it is placed in during the waxing phase. In the waning phase, it rev
