1
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 --> 00:00:11,120
it gives a completely different picture and this is what we will analyze in these series with

3
00:00:11,120 --> 00:00:16,960
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, ecological 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, traits 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 --> 00:01:20,960
anything that will shine in the world. It's an external meal principle is the first one we should

13
00:01:20,960 --> 00:01:29,600
see the ascendant nakshatra. The next one is the moon nakshatra, which has the energies of mind

14
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:37,360
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 --> 00:02:03,360
So let's evaluate with case studies one by one because we are talking about

19
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:12,000
three kinds of Ganas here, the dev gana, the manush gana and the rakshasa gana and we are talking

20
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:18,720
about ascendant and moon nakshatra in the placement in the birth chart so it gives us

21
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:28,080
number of combinations which we shall see one by one. In this one let's begin the case study of

22
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:34,160
ascendant in rakshasa gana versus moon in rakshasa gana. Now for all those of my

23
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:41,920
Hindu Indian brothers and sisters who think rakshasa is something evil or demonic it's not.

24
00:02:41,920 --> 00:02:50,720
In terms of Vedic astrology it is strictly about more tamas gana, more of density that's all it

25
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:56,160
means they are more grounded, they want to make things more grounded in reality. These are much

26
00:02:56,160 --> 00:03:04,800
needed people by the way. So let's begin ascendant in rakshasa versus moon in rakshasa. What kind of

27
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:13,040
attitudes and drives and desires define this kind of a personality type? They are strong willed

28
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:20,960
and independent this person may possess a strong sense of individuality, may be confident in their

29
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:27,360
own abilities, they have a strong will power and they may not be easily swayed by others isn't that

30
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:34,400
required. They are also assertive and competitive, they may be assertive and competitive and enjoy

31
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:41,680
challenges within a competition, they may be driven to succeed and may not shy away from taking risks.

32
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:50,160
They are passionate and intense people, they may have a passionate nature and intense in their

33
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:55,920
emotions and desires, they may be drawn to activities that allow them to express their

34
00:03:55,920 --> 00:04:02,160
passions and may be intense in pursuit of their goals, very passionately driven people.

35
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:11,040
They're also resourceful and practical in their approach to finding solutions to problems of daily

36
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:18,960
life, they may be good at managing resources and may be efficient in their work. They are

37
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:25,840
decisive and direct, they may be decisive and direct in their communication styles,

38
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:33,360
in their decision making, they may not hesitate to take action when necessary and may be confident

39
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:41,520
in their own choices. People with this combination may be motivated by desire for power and control,

40
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:48,400
these are the people who actively seek leadership roles in the society, in whichever branch they

41
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:54,720
appear. These are driven for power and control, it may be law, it may be in governance, it may be

42
00:04:54,720 --> 00:05:01,280
in companies, it may be in institutions but that's what they seek, their primary driver is power and

43
00:05:01,280 --> 00:05:08,640
control. They may be drawn to professions that allow them to exercise their authority and may

44
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:16,000
be driven to achieve success and recognition. They may be motivated by a desire for adventure

45
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:23,840
and excitement and may enjoy taking risks and exploring new experiences. Now let's take a

46
00:05:23,840 --> 00:05:31,920
case study of this to explore this deeper. Now let's take the case study of a lady named S.

47
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:43,360
Her ascendant is in Shatavisha nakshatra in the third pada and her moon is in Krittika nakshatra

48
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:51,440
in the second pada as you can see there. So both are in Raksha Sukhana and let's see the elemental

49
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:58,720
strength. Earth is very dominant in her chart with all points considered, all planets considered,

50
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:06,400
positioning etc. So that there is a strong sense of groundedness and wanting to accomplish something

51
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:14,400
physically in this life. So let's see what the ascendant brings in. This is in the third pada of

52
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:23,840
Aquarius within the Shatavisha nakshatra which is a vargothama meaning in both the natal and the

53
00:06:23,840 --> 00:06:30,400
navamsa this person is going to have an Aquarius ascendant. This is as Aquarian mind as it can get

54
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:39,440
and we see the air element is slightly above average, earth is dominant. So although the air

55
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:47,840
is very strong and this person is very unconventional in their approach, practical hard working and

56
00:06:47,840 --> 00:06:57,200
organized in their approach, they are Mavericks and visionaries, Aquarius in Shatavisha. This

57
00:06:57,200 --> 00:07:04,480
could also be a good sign of healing within Shatavisha meaning the power of hundred physicians as I

58
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:11,440
have spoken about in the 27 nakshatra playlist. You can go have a look at that. So they need to bring

59
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:18,240
their abstract ideas and they will want to do that in a practical way because there is a dominant

60
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:24,400
earth element. Now let's move on to the moon nakshatra which is in Krittika, the Pleiades,

61
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:32,800
the constellation of Pleiades. What is the energy of Pleiades? It's fiery transformation,

62
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:40,400
critical thinking, learning, training skills is what Krittika is good for. They have a sharp

63
00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:46,640
speech and mannerism. They are perfectionists. They can do well in all kinds of restaurant

64
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:55,440
business bars, bakers, that kind of a thing. Krittika standing for fire energy but fire element as we

65
00:07:55,440 --> 00:08:02,720
can see is less in her chart. So this might not be more inclined towards that. They may be more

66
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:09,760
however into leadership. Leadership roles is also Krittika one who wants leadership very strongly

67
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:17,120
and in her case Krittika is in the second bada which is going from Taurus into Capricorn.

68
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:23,280
So this is a very grounded kind of energy. Quickly if you look at the Saturn placement,

69
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:31,120
the lord of the ascendant is in Rohini. That's also a very Taurus signature right there

70
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:41,280
and so is the Mercury which is earth element which is also in Rohini. So you have a strong

71
00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:47,120
earthly energy. These people might be, this lady might be good at business kind of approach. She

72
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:54,880
might be an entrepreneur. She might be having to own her own cafe or a bar or a restaurant or a

73
00:08:54,880 --> 00:09:03,360
mom and pop shop kind of food delivery system because it's very grounded in its approach

74
00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:12,160
and it may have unconventional ideas to do so. This is how we analyze the Rakshasato-Rakshasat.

75
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:18,400
We have to first see the element then you have to see the kind of themes that are playing out

76
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:23,360
with other planets also. Mind you every single one you have to take the entire chart into

77
00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:31,760
consideration. The lord of the ascendant, the lord of Karma-driven planet which is Saturn and so

78
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:37,920
on and so forth. We have to consider many elements not just one isolated thing but this could be a

79
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:44,960
beginning point in understanding the personality type and what they want to accomplish in this world.

80
00:09:46,560 --> 00:09:51,760
So study this and if you need to get in touch with me, get in touch with me via email and we

81
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:58,640
can see how we can work out your chart as well. Meanwhile, take care and be safe.
