Guest guest Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 Mark,One feels better when waxing starts, mood gets upbeat.However there is a belief that the moon is actually stronger from from the 11th day, or Ekadasi of Bright Lunar Half through the 5th day, or Panchami of Dark Lunar Half, or Krishna Pakshaand weaker from the 6th day, of Dark Lunar Half through the New Moon day.What are the views here?ThanksKitsDear Kits: Yes, you're right. Jyotish, traditionally describes the waxing and waning of the Moon in just such ways. Practical experience, too shows for many people that their emotional experience does goes in these up and down sort of ways.But, Jyotish, typically goes too far in suggesting that there's something inherently wrong with the waning cycle or New Moon type of days. Jyotish, unfortunately, has forgotten that all of nature has a purpose. The waxing cycle is a great, enjoyable time to do and accomplish. But, the waning cycle is NOT a bad, or evil time, a curse as if, nothing to be done about it.When, you watch yourself as the Moon waxes and wanes you'll find that these two great cycles represent a very powerful cycle of rest and activity for our entire world. As the Moon wanes you'll notice that you too feel less energy and positive mood.But, this shift is about going more inward and resting!If you allow yourself to 'be' with this better interpretation of the nature of this cycle you'll in fact, stop feeling bad or low mood and can feel exceptional during every moment of the Moon's wanings!The waning cycle is just an inward, resting or healing time!If you allow this cycle to go on within you, you'll be able to turn around most every negative or unhappy moment!It's like saying going to bed and sleeping is the dark nite of the soul!NO! Sleep time is a cessation of the normal, happy, doing times of the day.But, there is a deep importance to the night.This is where we sleep and renew ourselves!If we don't do this, staying up late, not liking to go to bed and take advantage of this time, then all kinds of psyco-physiological dis-eases and unhappiness comes.But, if we take maximum advantage of this cycle then we feel renewed and surcharged, ready for whatever comes the next day!There is an expression in the yoga philosophy: " Rest is the basis of activity " !This is true each night and day and also during strategic days of each month and year.The transits and cycles of all the planets are all about different cycles of rest and activity.Retrograde motion for example, is alot like the waning Moon. If you rest that part of you that corresponds with that planet then you'll feel immediately better and then renewed.Watch the next Mercury retrograde motion and instead of thinking of it as negative or malefic use that time to be more easy with your intellect and decision makings!EnjoyMark Kincaidfounder Nature's Astrologywww..com ----- Original Message ---- " markkincaid (AT) (DOT) com " .com>To: Sent: Wednesday, 9 January, 2008 10:55:29 AM 2-M Kits: Re. Waning & Waxing experience....from M. Kincaid 1/9/08 Mark, this is indeed true, the mood swings and happiness index shooots up! as waxing starts. M Kits Dear M Kits: Glad to hear your experience. When I learned to watch the transits, just everything; all the rules, all the principles of Jyotish became alive to me. You can see in the every day transits all the rules like aspects, conjunctions, etc. What was your direct experience this last Waning & then Waxing Moon?
