What make a Moon strong in Vedic astrology?
My moon is in Aquarius, in the 4th house. Would that be considered strong or weak?
The strength of Moon in Vedic astrology primarily depends on its distance from the Sun in the birth chart. If it is a new Moon or it is within about 80 deg of the Sun it is a weak Moon.
So mine would be weak then?
The moon is 10 degree, 4th houseHi !
Depends on what we mean by 'weak'. By 'strong' moon, i am assuming it means that it 'reflects'the sun very well. Meaning that the emotions of the soul are able to be expressed well. If you read your entire chart, it may show that you NEED your moon to be 'cold' to follow this path. Aquarius moon in 4th house may have 'different' or 'unique' opinions about the concept of 'home' or 'homeland' and the opinion may not be based on 'emotion' but rather on 'brotherhood for all'.which degree is the moon?

Thank you, for your response. Is the moon the most important in Vedic astrology? In Western, it is the ascendant. What determines your appearance in Vedic?

It is actually a fifth house moon. Ketu conjunct lagna.

Lagna, Moon and Sun.
I suggest you read a little on Shadbala. There are different kinds of strength. What's the Shadbala count of your Moon?

Read about a fifth house Moon. Everything you described was a fifth house Moon. Not a fourth.
Moon in Vedic Astrology represents minds, mother, water on earth, liquids in our body, pearls, milk, dairy business, cattle, rice, silver, speculative ideas etc. Moon owns Cancer sign but exalted in Taurus and debilitated in Scorpio. Waxing Moon is considered a benefic and waning Moon a Weak. Waxing Moon means moving towards a full moon. Waning Moon means past full and moving toward a new moon. The moon has no light of its own. It shines only by the reflected light of the Sun. The Sun is the Soul/source of energy. The Sun is the generator of power whereas Moon is conductor of power reflected by the Sun. The brighter the Moon (waxing Moon), the more of Soul is reflected back. Sun represents individuality whereas Moon shows one's personality. Therefore, bright Moon of Shukla Paksha is benefic, dark Moon of Krishna Paksha is malefic. Person with a waxing moon has more opportunities in life to explore and expand their resources, on the other hand A waning moon is more about dispersion or spreading of knowledge/resources to others. So waxing moon is considered more benefice to the native, the waning moon is more beneficial to others. In nutshell we can say that a waning Moon is less effective than waxing moon but not malefic.
That is well put astrodranjna. Most astrologers use the word malefic.To the native,the word 'malefic' makes it look as if it is dreary.May not be so. There is fun in that too. I myself have Moon Ketu Taurus Krishna Paksha close to the sun.. malefic moon . But great fun ! Just have fun with your moon coco.
