One more silly query - only this time I'm on the moon :)

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

 

During my initiation into the study of astro, one bloke had told me

that the Moon exalts in Rohini; now I know that's wrong since BPHS

tells us that the exaltation is at 3 degrees of Taurus, which means

in Krittika. Anyway...

 

Once every twenty-odd years or so, around early June, Moon would

exalt in Krittika, but with the Sun also being there. While this

would mean Moon's most powerful position, it would also mean a

complete lack of paksha bala. Moon would be at her most powerful but

not really either, isn't it? In fact, even once every three years or

so, the Moon would exalt with the Sun being pretty close and

thereabouts.

 

What I want to know is - how to interpret the situation, since the

two aspects here kinda make the situation paradoxical?

 

Before you begin to scowl at the elementary nature of my query,

please note that I'm just a learner

 

Warm regards,

 

Ramapriya

Well, you will find that in Jyotish there's umpteen factors adding or

subtracting power to a planet. However, this multitude of parameters should

not be understood as being interchangeable, but rather they compliment each

other so as to bring out a more sophisticated picture of the state of a

planet. Therefore Paksha Bala and Uccha Bala should not be interpretedin the

same way. The Paksha Bala of a planet (especially of the Moon) will indicate

that its energy is more or less disturbed by the Sun. Uccha Bala, on

the other hand, indicates that the Moon is close or far from the place where

it can give its best preformance. Let me give an analogy. You may be at your

favourite place, for example on the beach, where you feel very exalted, but

if your boss is right there besdides you, this may somewhat change your

feelings and add some pressure to the situation, although it's still better

than if you met him at the most hated place.
