Significance of Moon in Human Life
ByMoon occupies an important place in the birth chart of an individual The sign occupied by Moon at birth is called technically the Janma Rashi. it Is through the Janma Rash that the temper and propensities of a man’s mind are known. Sun is the source of light. It has, therefore, specific influence on eyes. The inmost thoughts of man can be known through a study of his Sun. In this manner good and bad results relating to the life of a native are assessed by astrology on the basis of the position etc. of planets.
All the planets have a definite rate of‑ motion in their orbits These planets Influence beings on earth in consonance with their rate of motion. The birth‑chart of an individual is thus a map of the planets etc., as it is at the moment of birth. Ecliptic is the orbit In which the earth revolves round the Sun. It is the path in which other planets do revolve round the Sun. The whole path extends to about an angular distance of 7 degrees. Mercury orbit extends to an angular distance of 7 degrees on the eliptic of Venus to 30 ‑23′ ‑35″ of Mars to 10 ‑6l’‑20, of Jupiter 3 ‑41‑18 8″, Saturn 2‑29‑40 of Uranus 00 0‑46‑2 ‑Lr, of Neptune 10 ‑40′‑2m, of Moon 40 ‑56′to 50‑20′. Thus It is dear that the path of the planets is 7 to 8 degrees above or below the eliptic This eliptic or sign path is divided into 12 equal parts of 30 degrees each. The shape of these 12 parts resembles animals on earth and hence their names Aries (Lamb), Taurus (Ox), gemini (Twins), Cancer (a small sea animal), Leo (Lion), Virgo Girl Capricorn (Crocodile), Aquarius (Watery), Pisces (Fishes). Since man’s fate Is linked to the motion of planets and planets have a starry, background that background has been divided into 27 equal parts each called a nakshatra which is equal to 130 20′ The time taken by earth to reach the same star is called and its duration is 365 days 9 minutes and 9.7 seconds. The earth is inclined on its axis at an angle of 23‑26‑52 Due to this inclination the terrestrial equator (extended) cut the eliptic at two points called the equinoxes (ayanas). In consequence the sun remains in the northern and southern ayanas for six months each. As already stated the 30 degrees of the zodiac constitutes a sign or rashi the total being 360 degrees. The 12 signs are the basic factor in the horoscope.
The portion of the eliptic rising on the eastern horizon of a place of birth at the moment of Is called the ascendant or lagna and is denoted as such in the birth‑chart. The various planets are shown in the birth‑chart in the signs where they are at the moment of birth. Thus the planetary position in the heavens is reflected In the birth‑chart.
Astrology has also been called Jyoti shastra i.e., the science of Jyoti or light. For this science throws light on the problems of life and death, comforts and discomforts, gains and losses etc. Planets are constantly throwing their influence around. At the moment of birth, a man is under the influence of a specific type or pattern of planets and signs and as such the man’s temperament and character Is molded accordingly.
Thus Astrology shows the heights of culture and civilization attained by us. The Rishis through their inspired knowledge led clarified the effects of planets on human beings. This speaks volumes for their acumen. The science of astrology lags behind due to death of such Rishis. Another reason for our diminishing astrological beliefs Is the dearth of up to date observatories and other astronomical equipment. There is, however, no doubt that the science of astrology, if studied minutely can prove a boon not only to science in general but also to man in his attempt to unravel the future and thereby accelerate his steps towards progress.
