‘Chandrama Manaso jaatah’ (Moon was born from the mind of God) – Yajur Veda.
It may sound unbelievable to you, but it is true that an Astrologer can tell you what is there in your mind before you open up your mouth! When you meet an Astrologer to know something, you will put in words what you got in your ‘mind’. In Astrology, planet ‘Moon’ is considered karaka (lord) of ‘mind’. Moon is the fastest of all planets just like human mind. Moon is very nearer to earth and hence her influence in terms of gravity and magnetism is more on human beings. This is the reason Vedic Astrology gives more importance to Moon than any other planet. By studying the transit Moon’s position and aspects of other planets on it at the time of appointment with the Astrologer, an Astrologer can easily tell what you intend to ask him. Remember, the Astrologer does not require any details from you. He can simply read your mind just by looking at the transit chart.
By applying the following points, I tell my client exactly what he got in his mind at the moment of his meeting with me.
- When the Moon is posited in the Ascendant or aspected by the Ascendant lord, her influence will be extreme on the person’s mind. When Moon is with malefics or aspected by malefics, we can say that the person has worry in his mind due to some loss. If benefics aspect Moon, the person is ambitious to reach higher position.
- If there is influence of 2nd lord on Moon, the person has concern about his earnings and family related issues.
- If the influence of 3rd lord is on Moon, the person is thinking about his co-borns or he may be daring to take risk in an issue.
- When there is relation between 4th lord and Moon, the person’s thoughts are about his mother, vehicle, education, house and landed property.
- When there is relation between 5th lord and Moon, the person wants to know about his love affair or children.
- When Moon is related to 6th lord, the person is worried about his health. There may be an opposition or getting into court litigation.
- 7th lord influence on Moon shows issues related to married life and spouse.
- 8th lord influence on Moon indicates obstacles in profession, fear of deception and ill health.
- When Moon is related to 9th lord, things like father, foreign country or higher education are in the mind of the person.
- 10th lord influence on Moon shows that the person is thinking about his profession or job.
- When there is relation between 11th lord and Moon, the person wants to know about profits in business or about success in the projects on hand.
- When 12th lord is related to Moon, the person is concerned about his health and expenditure.
In this transit chart, Moon is posited in 8th from the Ascendant. This represents some worry or tension in the mind of the client. Moon is aspected by 10th lord Saturn which represents that he wants to know about his job. Aspect of Rahu on Moon indicates some conspiracy against him in his work place. I told him that there was a problem in his job due to his collegues and he came to me to know about that. The presence of 12th lord Mars with Moon and aspect of 9th lord Saturn on Moon represent that he will change the present job soon and join a new one. This happened later. Case II:
In this chart, Moon is posited in 4th from the Ascendant. So, we can assume that the client wants to put a question about his vehicles, house or landed property. Moon in 4th aspected by Mars confirms that it is about something moving, i.e., a vehicle. Moon is hemmed between two malefics Rahu and Saturn indicating that his vehicle would have faced with an accident recently. This is confirmed by 4th lord Venus being located in 8th with his enemy Sun. He is in travel business and he agreed that his car met with an accident nearly 15 days before. Case III:
Here, Moon is in the Ascendant. So, the question is related to self. 7th lord Saturn is aspecting Moon which is posited in the place of Saturn’s enemy. It means that the lady’s husband is treating her as his enemy. What might be the reason? Moon is aspected by two more planets Rahu and Mars. Since they are malefics, they also play role in her agony. See who is there with these two planets. Mercury is with Rahu and Venus is with Mars. Mercury being the 8th lord from her 7th (place of husband) represents a second connection for her husband. Venus with Mars represents more sexual desire. So, before she asked me anything, I told her that her husband had sexual contact with a woman and that led to differences between her and her husband; and the purpose of her visit is to know about the result of this relation. She confirmed my reading.
