Guest guest Posted May 16, 2005 Report Share Posted May 16, 2005 Dear Markji, Thank you for providing a detailed > information on sun. can I ask you some more questions related to this topic? > 1. While all planets just reflect the light of sun, > why is it said > that planets dont have any strength unless MOON is > powerful? (I have > read that planets are incapable of providing good > results if MOon is > not powerful. Dear Jyothi: I think the Moon, is also important, because it, representing the Mind, receives the direct, reflections of the Sun... Like that, our Mind's, do receive the direct reflections of our soul's, or awarenesss, which is the Sun..... And, because Jyotish and India, have had many centuries, even thousands of years, of utilizing Jyotish, their emphasis, is on all the practical areas of the life... The Moon, then, is involved in this because Jyotish understands that where our Moon's are, represent's where our very important, mind, focus is in this life.... 2. Why is sun considered as a malefic if it helps > spiritual progress? Don't get too bogged down, with the classification of maleficness. All the planets can be found acting malefically at times. The Sun's described 'malefically' sometimes, when either it's in a more malefic house, 6th, 8th or 12th, or when it's especially too close to planets, especially combustion. The Sun, can be important for spiritual progress, but even Jupiter can act malefic, under certain circumstances. > 3. Why is Sun considered as a separative planet? This is not something I've heard. Saturn, generally, is described in this way. But, I've never heard the Sun, this way. > > Can I share with you an interesting incident that > happened very > recently? > > A week before, I attended an interview for Tech > Writer at one of the > very reputed MNC in Chennai, India.

Very fun, and fascinating story. I think that this story, shows just how important the field of Astrology really is. People really related to the symbolisms of their chart's, and it's up to us, to show them, the more subtle details, so that they begin to take Astrology, especially Jyotish more seriously. take care Mark Kincaid > > > > > > > > > vedic astrology, Mark Kincaid > <m.kincaid@m...> > wrote: > > Respected Gurujis, With my little knowledge, I > have come to know > that > > Ascendent > > denotes ones all round personality and physical > charactersitics and > > moon sign shows the mental attitude and > temperament.
