Gatten

The moon god, Gatten, holds a crescent moon. His Sanskrit name is Chandra, meaning moon or light. Because his pure light "eliminates poison, heat, and worldly desires," he is also regarded as the god of Soma, known as the elixir of immortality. Gatten embodies virtues such as purity, purification, and tranquility, and is also the god of meditation, immortality, and love. In addition, Gatten, paired with Sun God, governs the movement of the stars and the laws of nature. He commands the 28 star gods and the 12 zodiac gods adopted from Oriental astrology.
