Summary: This study analyzes the Significance of the Moon in Ancient Civilizations and it’s contribution to modern astrology. This thesis also aims at integrated scientific explanations on New and Full Moon and their influence of Geo-physical phenomena and also analyzes how significant a role the moon plays in keeping the life on earth.

Astrology is the original branch of utilitarian science which depended entirely on the variation of Jyothis or light emitted by various celestial bodies and therefore called Jyothisham (Jyotisha).
