Chandra–Mangal yoga
Chandra–Mangal yoga forms when the Moon and Mars occupy the same sign. It is linked with drive, enterprise and earning through initiative, along with a quick, intense emotional nature.
Also known as: Chandra Mangal yoga, Chandra Mangala yoga, Chandra Mangal yog, moon mars yoga
The Moon is the mind and Mars is energy and courage. Together they give drive, practicality and the urge to act. Many astrologers read the yoga as a talent for earning through business, property and enterprise.
The classical descriptions are blunt and mixed: wealth on one side, a sharp tongue or questionable ways of earning on the other. Modern astrologers usually read it as strong financial drive that needs a steady ethical compass and some patience with feelings.
Its quality depends on the sign and house. Mars exalted in Capricorn or the Moon exalted in Taurus helps; the Moon in Scorpio or Mars in Cancer, where each is debilitated, needs more care. Some astrologers also count the two planets facing each other across the chart as a form of the yoga.
It also matters for marriage matching: in many traditions, Mars joined by the Moon reduces Manglik dosha.
