Moon and Mars in the 10th house at a glance
When Chandra + Mangala (Moon + Mars) share a sign, a yuti, the chart fuses Moon’s the mind, emotions and nurturing instinct and Mars’s energy, courage and the drive to act, and here all of it works through the 10th house (Karma), the house of career, status, reputation and your work in the world (Kendra (angular), Upachaya (growing); natural sign Capricorn). This combination also forms the named Chandra-Mangal Yoga (explained below).
