When evaluating personalities from the perspective of the sun and the moon in Vedic Astrology,
it gives a completely different picture and this is what we will analyze in these series with
K studies. Without the K studies, we will be lost, we will have no reference points or
perspectives on how to look at this from an objectively scientific, ecological perspective.
So from the perspective of Vedic Astrology, two guiding principles are the sun and the moon,
the two luminaries that guide and focus our energies as a soul in particular directions.
That's the principle, the sun and the moon. So number one, the rule is the ascendant nakshatra
has the energies of the rising sun, your rising sign also, the external meal principle, what you
display in the world, what the personality wants to show in the world, the physical personality,
the ego structures, extroversion, traits which are displayed externally, external drives,
external impulses, external behaviors, etc. The sun is all about shining forward, it brings forth
anything that will shine in the world. It's an external meal principle is the first one we should
see the ascendant nakshatra. The next one is the moon nakshatra, which has the energies of mind
as translated to emotional content, the subconscious desires, the deep seated emotional
tendencies and needs, the introversion, the emotional impulses, you can also call it the
emotional body, this is the moon, the second luminary. So we are talking both about the display
of external and internal and that's all we are in this polarized world when we come in as souls.
So let's evaluate with case studies one by one because we are talking about
three kinds of Ganas here, the dev gana, the manush gana and the rakshasa gana and we are talking
about ascendant and moon nakshatra. In the placement in the birth chart, so it gives us
number of combinations which we shall see one by one. Now we see the combination of ascendant in
manushya and moon also in manushya. So both being manushya, what characteristics does this lead to
like? Social and communicative, this person may have a natural ability to connect with others
and may enjoy socializing and making new friends. They may have excellent communication skills and
be comfortable expressing themselves verbally, verbally being the key there, communicative.
They are also adaptable and versatile. They may be able to adjust to new situations very quickly
and easily and may be comfortable in a variety of settings. They may be versatile in their
interests and hobbies and may enjoy exploring new activities. They are also analytical and
logical. They may possess a strong analytical and logical abilities and may be drawn to professions
that require these skills. They may be good at problem solving and may enjoy puzzles or other
challenging activities. They are also ambitious and goal oriented. They may have a strong drive to
succeed and may be focused on achieving their goals. They may be competitive and enjoy challenges
and may be willing to work hard to achieve success. They are also responsible and reliable.
They may have a strong sense of responsibility and may be dependable and reliable in their
personal and professional relationships. They may be organized and be able to manage their time
effectively. People with this combination may be motivated by a desire for personal growth
and may enjoy learning and exploring new ideas. They may also be motivated by a desire for success
and may be driven to achieve their goals and make a mark in this world. Now, Manusha in Sanskrit
means human being. Understand that Manusha in Sanskrit means human being and this gives us a
picture of what we human beings are really about, isn't it? All the characteristics that we so far
covered in this combination. Human beings are about social and communicative. They are adaptable
and versatile. They are analytical and logical. Ambitious, goal oriented, responsible and reliable.
So this combination gives a very grounded kind of human being who wants to learn stuff, learn things
of everyday things. Science, biology, geology, humanities, law, all kinds of sciences and
knowledge base we have as human beings and we are still developing those as we go along.
So this is the characteristics. Now let's take a case study. Now let's analyze on the chart of a lady
by the name C. Her ascendant is in Uttarashada and her moon is in Uttarabhadrapada, Buddha them being
in Manushanakshatra. So what does this give us? What does this picture give us? And also watch the
elements. She has a lot of fire and a lot of water energy. That means a lot of passion and drive
and a lot of emotion as well. The earth and air are below average subdued. So not much of
practicality and mental energy they bring. They bring fire and water. That can be a little
challenging combination because fire just gives the initiation to start something and water is
the final moksha point which gives emotional point. So this might be a little challenging.
They might need to find proper partners who can have a solid earth element. You see.
Anyway, so Uttarashada, she's in the fourth pada which is Capricorn going into Pisces. So although
the ascendant is in Capricorn, one might think this person is more inclined towards grounded
stuff but the earth element is very less as you can see there. What this Uttarashada means in
themes, maintaining victory and status through responsibility, whatever has been gained in the
previous Purva-ashada is maintaining the victory in Uttarashada. Positivity, love, tradition,
positive ancestral connection. So positive ancestral connection is there which is excellent.
Establishment of new institutions were poholics. Kind of a little less here. Spouse is wiser than
them in pada four. That could be a theme. What about the Moon Nakshatra which is Uttarabhadrapada.
So the Moon Nakshatra now is in Uttarabhadrapada which falls in Pisces and her Moon is in first
pada which means Pisces going into Leo which means water going into fire. Again we can see the hints
there how elements going from fire and earth are happening in her chart. So what is the energy of
Uttarabhadrapada. It is seeking permanence, stability in a fleeting world, endurance, realizing
true emotional fortunes of life, scholarly counselors and needing fame, analytical passivity.
So I can see a sense of scholarly counselors here more in her chart because even the Jupiter is in
Pushya Nakshatra which is all about teaching. I am not taking which house consideration here but
we'll have to see that more details if you want to analyze this. But there is an energy considering
just these factors of ascendant and the Moon both the Nakshatras and what we saw as the themes of
manushagana in ascendant and manushagana in the Moon speaks very loudly of a person who would be
excellent in counseling, providing wisdom. Wisdom factor is a lot in this lady. She is born with
that, she is the ancestral support of that and if she strives and works towards providing knowledge
and counseling she'll be excellent at it and she might want to do this in a mainstream kind of way.
You know learn about psychological counseling become a counselor who is qualified who has
certifications of all kinds studying kind of counseling, mainstream counseling.
Right so this is how we study the Nakshatras and see where the person can fare well
and do well in terms of their talents and abilities in terms of element presence in their chart
and we know what's the dominant driving force for their passions for their desires for their
career and so on so forth. Next we shall be doing another combination of Rakshasa versus Rakshasa
in Mead and Piccadilly safe.
