A first look at the lesson
The usual chart counts the houses from the Lagna: the Lagna chart. The Moon chart (Chandra kundali) uses the same signs and grahas, but counts the houses from the Moon's sign: the Moon's sign becomes the 1st house.
The Lagna chart speaks for the body and the events of life; the Moon chart for the mind and how life feels. Daily horoscopes in India are read from the Moon's sign, your rashi.
