Sri Sri Guru Gauranga Jayatah

 

To try to say few things on these things.

 

Moon reflects the light of the Sun. ceto darpana marjanam...By influence

of the planets on the Moon it could be modified, what is illumined.

 

Kendras:1st Maha Vishnu, sattwa, what remains throughout your life is a

sense of identity.

10th house: Param Brahma-plase of rajas, activity in this world

7th house:Sada Shiva, destruction, maraka sthana

4th house:Vasudeva (moon and venus in 4th leading to the Lord)

 

Prevailing Guna of Trikonas(5th - rajas, 1st tamas, 9th sattva???). We

are born in tamas, taught by gurussattva, and teach to children, rajas.
