Astrology: In a natal chart the Moon signifies the emotional nature of a native; their feminine side, the mother, their attitude toward family, the home, and women in general.
In general, the Moon astrologically is associated with childbirth, mothering, family roots, the home and the mother.
Spiritually/Religiously: The Moon symbolizes the mysteries of the night, transformation, the animal nature and purity.
The moon is responsible for many of the time lines in Hinduism. For example, the original Hindu calendar is based off the lunar cycle as is the menstrual cycle of women. As such, the moon is seen as a basis of fertility because it not only regulates the menstrual cycle, but it is also involved in the creation of the dew which gives life to plants.
In mythology, the moon is said to carry the elixir of life from which the gods drink. The concept of the new moon points to discarding the old and embracing the new. This day is often accompanied by fasting. Because of the prominence of the new and replenishing, many other religious festivals are celebrated according to the moon.
