Article on Conjunctions and Aspects as Moon Moves Through Sagittarius

[Guest guest]

Dear Friends: Today and yesterday seems to be a good example

of both the influence of planets colliding together and planets

aspecting each other. Yesterday,Moon was very close to Jupiter

which was a very sweet and positive influencewhile today the Moon,

still in Sagittarius is moving across the simultaneously moredifficult influence of Ketu, Saturn and Mars..Thought you

might like to hear about this.Sincerely,Mark Kincaid

Conjunctions & Aspects

 

Moon’s

Passage Through Sagittarius, now

 

 

Today, I was realizing is a good example of the difference between

conjunctions and aspects in astrology.

Yesterday and today the Moon’s been moving through

Sagittarius according to the Jyotish system of calculating the

planets.

This month, now, Jupiter has also made its move into Sagittarius as

well. So, in terms of conjunction Moon and

Jupiter are supposed to be really happy together whenever their within the

same 30 degrees of each other.

And you could really feel it in the air yesterday. There was this palatable sweetness, ease and flow

going on. Everything in my day went

superbly. In the early day the Moon collided

with the 4th degree of Sagittarius where coincidently Jupiter

is right now and the whole day seemed to be dominated by this very

positive Jupiterish kind of feeling.

This month and year however, there are a lot of simultaneous

aspects also upon Sagittarius which also influences strongly the normally

positive co-existence of the Moon and Jupiter within the same

sign.

This month and year, Ketu’s moved into Leo where its

5th House aspect is supposed to be affecting Sagittarius. Counting Leo as #1, go Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio

and #5 Sagittarius. Ever since Ketu moved into

Leo this last November 8th of 2006 we’ve been all

experiencing these new Ketu aspects.

This is most clear when the Moon either goes through Leo where Ketu

is or moves through Sagittarius which is where Ketu’s 5th

house aspects is supposed to be aspecting.

Jyotish also has a rule of “carrying influence”. For example Ketu is in Leo fully aspecting

Sagittarius. However, Saturn is also in Leo

this month and year so Jyotish says the planets will carry with them and

their aspects or influences any other positive or negative planets or

forces that are close to them.

This has meant then that Ketu would be carrying Saturn’s

influence with it as well as casting its own.

This means the intensity of Ketu’s influence upon the Moon is

even more dramatic because of Sani's close proximity.

Add on top of this the fact that Mars is opposite to Sagittarius in

the sign of Gemini and today is a wildly intense day.

Today, Tuesday, the Moon started out about the 14th

degree in Sagittarius. If you pay attention to

the specific degrees of the planets while they’re aspecting you

can’t help but realize that the Moon would be coming within both

Sani’s influence (at the 14th degree in Leo) and Mars

which is at the 13:40

degree of Gemini.

In the , today, there’s a huge snow and ice storm goings

on. This outer drama seems quite appropriate

to the inner drama which is also going on.

 

So, watch the details of the Transits and you will see being lived

all the fascinating rules and principles of Jyotish alive and happening in

the world.

 

Sincerely,
