Dear Mark,

 

Compliments for a comprehensive write up...

 

Indeed Moon (mind) is a barren and rocky area without the Sun

(soul). The soul is the essence of all existence. Corelate it for all the

living beings, not human beings alone.

 

Also not to forget

Mercury (intelligence) , though not a luminary, mythologically

considered the son of Moon (mind).

 

Ever thought what would

happen is the Sun stops doing its normal movement across the celestial

space... let the forum explore their minds!!

 

Best wishes,

Amitabh Shastri

 

 

Dear Amitabh:  Yes, I agree, without the Sun, the

Moon is just a barren wasteland.

 

In fact, if the soul, spirit

or Sun leaves the person, the Moon mind lies empty devoid of life. 

Perhaps this is why I find the most recent Jyotish emphasis on the Moon,

mind so surprising.

 

Sure, it is important to know what the Moon

is all about in the life.  I have found tremendous importance in

knowing both the position and sign that my Moon is in.

 

Perhaps

it's hard to reflect upon one's Sun because after all it does represent

the very abstract I or consciousnsess that we are.

 

This is

however, why I like the Western habit of examining the Sun Signs. 

You can really tell a lot about yourself and your true life dharma by

studying the Sun, again, both in House and Sign in one's chart.

 

However, it's obvious that both together is more important.  In

fact, when I look at any person's chart the first thing I look at it there

Sun, Moon & Rising Signs...all almost at the same time.

 

These three represent such a basic and fundamental part of our

individuality and consciousness in this life.

 

This greater

emphasis on the Sun, I find especially important as the Sun begins to move

into it's favorite place in the sky, Exalted Aries.

 

Because the

Sun represents the will and the power of self-confidence this next month

will teach us all a lot about the Sun's power and potential to do and to

accomplish!

 

The only thing we should also be aware of is

Saturn's 10th House aspect from its Transit in Cancer will be holding the

Sun back just a little bit, hehe.

 

I've been watching the

Transits for over 20 years now, and I have to say, these Sun in Aries

months are normally extremely wonderful and promising.  However, over

the last couple of years as Saturn went through Cancer, it was quite

interesting to see just how subtley Saturn held back the Sun's power a

little.

 

It made me more aware of the vital importance of being

more in-tune with Saturn especially when other positive and progressive

transits are going on.

 

Fun talking with you.

The 2

Luminaries;

Sun & Moon

 

Dear Friends &

Subscribers:

 

Astrology calls the Sun and the Moon the two

great

luminaries. This is because they illuminate our souls! The

Sun

illuminates our essence and stands for our egos, I's,

 

self-confidence, self-identify and Self power. The Moon, on the other

hand stands for our mind's, our emotions and receives the essence

or

rays of our Sun's!

 

By itself, the Moon is nothing.

It's a dead rock that

circles a planet, but itself, has no life.

The Moon instead is the

receiver of the Sun's rays. It receives

the rays and as it revolves

around the Earth, churns our planet

creating the conditions for life and

our very weather patterns.

 

Every month the Sun moves through the 12 stellar homes of

 

the Sun's, Signs or Constellations of Astrology. Each month the Sun

 

vibrates with the nature and characteristics of each Sign. This last

month the Sun was moving through Pisces. Therefore, this movement

is

there to show us how well we're doing with our Pisces.

 

Sun/Pisces itself, is about endings, completions, freedom

and

fulfillments. For millions of people in the Northern Hemisphere

 

this coincides very nicely with the ending of one year and the

beginning

of another. How pleasant this month has been has been

partially due to

how in-tune are we with the Piscian freedom aspect

of life.

 

The Moon on the other hand goes through these 12

streams of

consciousness, or signs every 2 ½ days! So, the

last 2 ½ days the

Moon was traveling across the

constellation of Capricorn. This was a

good time to reflect,

(Piscian) on the nature of Capricorn ambition and

accomplishments

this last year.

 

I say `reflect upon' because the Moon also is

Waning

and you can feel its dynamic inward quality right now, in

spite of going

through Capricorn which can be so achievement and

accomplishment

oriented. Also, because Saturn in Cancer this month

fully aspects

Capricorn these last 2 ½ days of the Moon's

transit was even more

an opportunity for inwardness, rest and

rejuvenation.

 

In fact, if the Moon felt any uncomfortable

ness during

these last 2 ½ days that was more to do with the

lessons of Saturn

then the lessons of the Moon! Today, the Sun's

arrived at the 29th

degree of Pisces.

 

Get ready for a

complete shift into the all-important

powerful nature of Aries over

these next 30 days. Today, the Moon

already has made its

transition into the new Sign of Aquarius.

 

Allow yourself to

receive the unique Aquarian energy of

creativity and seeing things

in new and exciting, `out of the

box' sort of ways during these

next few days. The Sun will be

bursting into Exalted Aries

starting tomorrow, while the Moon will be

colliding with both Rahu

and Mars in Aquarius and then finishing up with

its New Moon status

on the 17th.

 

Always there are many sometimes conflicting

goings on with

the stars as it is in our charts. The key is to

take advantage of the

Benefic strengths, like Exalted Sun in Aries

coming up, but also staying

in-tune or balancing the Malefic

weaknesses like the Moon's

collision with Mars & Rahu as well

as its Waning phase.

 

Today's your last chance to reflect on

how well you did

this entire last year. Starting tomorrow, the

Sun's plunge into

Aries will be a tremendous burst of energy,

excitement and dynamism!

 

However, allow your Moon it's final

last few days of

Waning ness and then plunge into your Aries

projects and endeavors

reflective of this entire next year. Also,

one other caution. This

month and year the Sun as it passes

through Aries will be fully aspected

by Saturn in Cancer again!

 

Over the last few years as Saturn was going through Cancer

 

it was already fully aspecting the Sun each year when the Sun normally

was found going through Aries. This will continue one last time

before

Saturn goes direct soon and then finally leaves Cancer to

begin it's

movement into Leo starting in July, 2007.

 

 

So, make sure that you don't get too wild with that Sun

in Aries

energy. You should find that you feel that intense Sun in

Aries

energy, drive and excitement, but there will tend to be a gap

 

between what you `want' and what Saturn is able to deliver

during

this month.

 

In other words if you cognizant of the speed in

which Saturn

wishes things to develop then you'll still be able to

take maximum

advantage of this Exalted Sun time. However, if you

don't and push

too hard, then you'll especially feel it this month

in that familiar

Saturn delaying quality goings on.

 

 

Enjoy and God bless!

 

Sincerely,

 

Mark
