[Guest guest]

Jai Jinendra Mark,

 

Very inspiring and magnificent article on Moon, as

usual.

 

If any disease arised from Moon afliction,What

remedial measures should be taken to heal that, within

ourselves.

 

 

Dear Shripal:

 

I mention in my article many of the ways in which the Moon can be strengthened.

 

I'll review them here again.

 

Moon because it represents the 'Mind', 'heart', and especially, the emotional center, feelings and 'intuition', will be strengthened by anything that improves the Mind, Heart, and emotions.

 

Therefore, and in fact, one of the remedial measures I didn't mention, enough is the activity of meditation.

 

Meditation is one of the best ways to strengthen the Moon, inside.

 

When a person meditates, the person is lead out of it's normal conscious thinking level, which is dominated by one thought after another after another. These, normal thoughts which are of

Jai Jinendra Mark,

 

Very inspiring and magnificent article on Moon, as

usual.

 

If any disease arised from Moon afliction,What

remedial measures should be taken to heal that, within

ourselves.

 

Some addition to your article,

 

As Moon is everchanging and is charged by Sun and its

reflection is manifested in a form of

feelings,emotions and desire.

 

Positively it talks about sympathy,while negative

effect is moodiness.It deals with individuals

past,present and future,as future is arised from

past.As result of it ,it signifies existense of word

" US " or " WE " or " I " , as it binds a body with soul and

individual gains a personal experience out of it and

constantly deceving or decting us from reality.

 

As emotions are always been hazardous for us,for

steering,guiding etc at a conscious level for

adaption to the unconsciously perceived and

illuminated reality for one's benefit or well-being or

selfishness.

 

If well-placed , a person is

well-mannerd,carefree,fearfulness of wrong,focus on

present love of honest,peace loving etc etc.

 

If malefic than, makes one

drunker,liar,idleness,lonely,lack of

spirit,careless,lack of future thoughts,beggar etc

etc.

 

As it determines sensitivity,so karaka ro sifnificator

of Mother,nuture,Women,Dream Interpreters,Magician

etc etc.
