00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,000
When evaluating personalities from the perspective of the sun and the moon in Vedic Astrology,

2
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:11,040
it gives a completely different picture and this is what we will analyze in these series with

3
00:00:11,040 --> 00:00:16,880
K studies. Without the K studies, we will be lost. We will have no reference points or

4
00:00:18,240 --> 00:00:24,960
perspectives on how to look at this from an objectively scientific, logical perspective.

5
00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:31,200
So from the perspective of Vedic Astrology, two guiding principles are the sun and the moon.

6
00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:39,280
The two luminaries that guide and focus our energies as a soul in particular directions.

7
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:45,680
That's the principle, the sun and the moon. So number one, the rule is the ascendant nakshatra

8
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:53,840
has the energies of the rising sun, your rising sign also, the external meal principle, what you

9
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:59,600
display in the world, what the personality wants to show in the world, the physical personality,

10
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:06,960
the ego structures, extroversion, rates which are displayed externally, external drives,

11
00:01:06,960 --> 00:01:14,400
external impulses, external behaviors, etc. The sun is all about shining forward. It brings forth

12
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:20,720
anything that will shine in the world. It's an external meal principle is the first one we

13
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:28,640
should see the ascendant nakshatra. The next one is the moon nakshatra, which has the energies of

14
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:37,360
mind as translated to emotional content, the subconscious desires, the deep seated emotional

15
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:45,200
tendencies and needs, the introversion, the emotional impulses, you can also call it the

16
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:51,920
emotional body. This is the moon, the second luminary. So we are talking both about the display

17
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:58,400
of external and internal and that's all we are in this polarized world when we come in as souls.

18
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:06,320
So let's evaluate with case studies one by one because we are talking about three kinds of

19
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:13,520
ganas here, the dev gana, the manushya gana and the rakshasa gana and we are talking about ascendant

20
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:20,240
and moon nakshatra. In the placement in the birth chart, it gives us number of combinations

21
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:28,800
which we shall see one by one. So let's consider the case of ascendant nakshatra in dev gana

22
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:36,960
and moon nakshatra also in dev gana. This is the first pair. What does it lead to? What kind of

23
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:42,880
personality does this person become? First of all, they are spiritual and philosophical.

24
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:48,080
This person may have a deep interest in spirituality and may be drawn to philosophical

25
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:54,400
or intellectual pursuits. They may have a strong sense of morality and ethics.

26
00:02:55,600 --> 00:03:02,320
They are artistic and creative. They may possess a natural creativity and may be drawn to artistic

27
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:09,520
and creative pursuits. They may have a talent for music, poetry or other forms of artistic

28
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:16,720
expression. They are compassionate and nurturing by nature. They may have a natural ability to

29
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:23,440
empathize with others, may be drawn to helping professions. They may have a strong desire to

30
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:31,120
care for others, may be nurturing and supportive in their relationships. They are idealistic and

31
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:37,440
optimistic. They may have a strong belief in the goodness of humanity, may be optimistic about

32
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:43,920
the future. They may be driven by a desire to make the world a better place. How beautiful is that?

33
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:51,840
They are diplomatic and charming. They may possess excellent communication skills, may be skilled at

34
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:58,400
negotiating and resolving conflicts. They may have a natural charm that allows them to connect

35
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:06,400
with others on a personal level. People with this combination may be motivated by a desire for

36
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:13,600
spiritual growth and may be drawn to practices such as meditation, yoga or other forms of

37
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:20,880
self-improvement. They may also be motivated by a desire to create beauty and harmony in the world.

38
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:27,840
They may be drawn to artistic and creative pursuits. Let's take this up with a particular case study.

39
00:04:27,840 --> 00:04:38,240
Let's take this chart of Lady called S. This lady has ascendant in Ashwini nakshatra,

40
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:45,040
which is Devgana, as well as moon in Revati nakshatra, which is Devgana again. So we are

41
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:49,920
talking about Devgana's combinations of ascendant nakshatra and moon nakshatra.

42
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:55,600
So what are the themes? And we will examine this in conjunction with the elements as well.

43
00:04:55,600 --> 00:05:01,760
Those are her predominant elements. There's a lot of fire and there's a lot of earth,

44
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:10,000
subdued air and average water as element strength because you've got to examine the element strength

45
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:16,720
if you need to get closer to the accuracy of the personality. So Ashwini is in first pada as we

46
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:22,720
can see there in ascendant. So there's a lot of fire, initiator, risk taker, energy in this person

47
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:30,560
already. A very adaptable, commanding and friendly Ashwini energy. And the fire element is also very

48
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:36,720
strong overall in the chart, which makes this person having difficult to maintain relationships,

49
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:43,840
very impulsive, well groomed, a lot of fire energy. And because we are talking about ascendant as in

50
00:05:43,840 --> 00:05:50,640
sun, this will be displayed to the rest of the world, even in her relationships, lack of stability,

51
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:58,800
lack of consistency, a lot of seeking of power. Okay. There's a little bit of materialistic and

52
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:04,320
grounded also, even though I have mentioned it as pada too, it's basically she has a lot of earth

53
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:11,360
element. So there's fire and earth, think fire and earth in her case. So she's very fiery by nature

54
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:16,800
and she's also got fair bit of grounding on that. So you want materialistic gain also.

55
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:25,520
So that's the ascendant, nakshatra's qualities for her. Now the moon of hers is in Revati.

56
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:32,400
Revati is also a Devgana. This nature is softer as opposed to Ashwini who was very swift.

57
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:38,720
And so these people, now we are talking about moon in Revati. So we are talking about the

58
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:44,800
subconscious desires, the hidden heart, the emotional body. So Ashwini,

59
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:50,640
Revati loves to help people. It is unorthodox. They are introverts. They are secretive in nature.

60
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:57,280
We are talking all about emotions here. They have a healthy body. They could be the guiding light

61
00:06:57,280 --> 00:07:03,840
to masses. So this lady might have a hidden desire to help other people. Okay. They are very

62
00:07:03,840 --> 00:07:10,640
practical and ambitious. Again, earth and fire is there, which sort of complements the Ashwini

63
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:16,960
part in the ascendant. They might be having on the downside living in a fantasy land or have

64
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:23,760
addictions or too needy or clingy for affection. That's one of the downsides of Revati also.

65
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:29,440
So you see how this plays out in the next one. We shall see other combinations of

66
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:39,440
Devah, Dev Gana with other particular nakshatras.
