Daily Horoscope: 16th January, 2018

Astrology is a science which studies the effects the celestial bodies have on us, human beings. But the effect that Moon has on us is far more than any other celestial body.

Vedic astrology tells us exactly how the Moon affects our lives. Our ancestors believed that a new moon is not just a beginning of a new lunar phase, but also a start of a new personnel cycle.

They believed that a new moon is the best time to initiate new projects. Women who wanted to conceive were advised to plan for their baby during the new moon, as they had a higher chance of succeeding then.

An old wives' tale of getting a hair cut on a new moon for faster growth too stems from this theory. Not just that, the body deep-cleanses itself during the new moon and therefore you are advised to start your diet on this day to see positive results in a few days...interesting, isn't it?

The moon also has an effect on our day-to-day lives. Astrological predictions made using moon signs are said to be far more accurate than predictions made using sun signs, as moon is closer to us and effects us directly. So, read on to know more about your daily horoscope according to your moon sign.
