Chandra is the moon god — soft, luminous and ever-changing, riding a chariot drawn by antelopes across the night sky. He governs the mind, emotions, plants and the tides, waxing and waning through the lunar month.
"Cursed to fade and blessed to return, the moon teaches that even loss is only a phase before renewal."
Father of Budha (Mercury) and lord of the nakshatras, Chandra represents calm, beauty and emotional depth. A child named Chandra carries serenity, sensitivity and a gentle, reflective nature.
