2-Charles re.....Transits and moods from Mark K. 8/23

[Guest guest]

Hello Mark,

I am very new to the topic of jyotish/astrology, so please forgive

the simplicity of my questions.((Ahhh,

finally, someone who's willing to admit their youth!, hehe) I have noticed over the years and especially over the

last two years since I started a very active yogi lifestyle, that I

can feel good and/or bad regardless of the current set of

circumstances. Most of the time, it is very subtle, but my

awareness of myself is growing and it is very noticeable. ((Very good point, and you're absolutely right.Generally I tell people there are 3 aspects to our Astrology thatwe're living all the time.#1 there's our chart!

This is by far the most important part ofour Astrological nature.#2 Then, there's our dasas. The Dasas are our time

shifts, oremotional shifts depending upon the karmas in our

chart's.So, if you've got a good Saturn but a slightly

challenged Moon period, then a Saturn Moon period would be mixed,

good and badcoming of exactly those qualities and issues in

your life.#3...Then there are the Transits. These are

the influences of the environment, coming to us, as if through our

bodies each day.I emphasize the Transits, only because I want

people to learn to feel the Stars.In Truth, most people

will experience the Transits as being more relevant if the Moon in

their own Charts, is Waning, small or negativelyaspected.Also, it's a lot easier to talk about the general influence for everyone

thentrying to talk about issues for one person at a time.However, I like to do both, periodically, too.))

Recently as I have been reading books on astrology and started to

wonder if it can be correlated to the transits, more specifically to the tithes. I was planning on starting a journal to see if I could correlate. And then I recently joined your group and saw the posts on the new moon and Saturn. I was happy as it is helping me

understand the possibilities.((Yes, yes,

definitely start a journal. Pay special attention to the classic quarters, New Moon like today, then 1/4 full in 1 week,full Moon in 2 weeks, then 1/4 empty in 3, and New Moon again in 4.PS...yes, your own Moon & Saturn conjunction will be important

foryou to 'grok' because you have the Moon & Saturn together in

your chart.Like me!)) My Saturn is very well

placed in the 11th with Aires as my Ascendant. My moon is very

closely conjuct. Since Saturn is so well placed, I would expect to

feel good during this last transit and the new moon phase, however,

I have felt a general low level anxiousness over the last 3-4 days,

then yesterday, this vanished and I returned to a general overall

good feeling, during the actual amavasya tithi.((I'll bet you, this wasn't just because of the Moon &

Saturn colliding,but was most probably due to the New Moon.When people first begin watching the Stars, they're not used to

flowingwith the Moon, so there's a lot of stress within.During

the Moon cycles, the Moon's waxings are meant to help us unwindour

stresses.So, during the New Moon like today and last few days,

people everywhereare feeling more tired, and listless and don't know

why.This is primarily because the Moon's sooo small, and the

energy of the biggerMoon is just not coming to us.This is

because the Moon's trying to direct us to go within.I always take

off during the New Moon time, and rest, rejuvenate, vacation,and

heal!)) In my quest to find a correlation, would you

advise to look at the lunar cycles or more at planetary influences?

I thought the lunar cycles as my underlying moods seem to change

daily or weekly.((The message archives

have weeks weeks, and months of nice correlationsbetween what the

Moon is doing and predictable results, and people'sexperiences that

they've sent in.)) Personally, my Saturn dasha is and

has been very good for me, many trials, but the personal and

spiritual growth has been tremendous, along with many gains

career-wise.((You will also be

interested in my new Saturn group, that I started especiallyfor the

most recent Sun & Saturn planetary war that's just not finishing.You can find it at:SurrenderingToSaturn/ Thank you for your feedback. Om Shanti, Charles DOB: May 6th, 1964 4:52 EST (5:52 DST),
