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 finish up with ascendant in manush gana
and moon in rakshasa gana and this will be the basis in understanding all of the further videos
about lightworker astrology. So if you haven't already watched all the previous eight, this is
the ninth one, I suggest you go through all of them because you're living with such people,
you may be working with such people, you may have your family and friends in any one of these
combinations so it's important that you understand what kind of personalities you're working with,
yes, makes sense. So what is this combination about ascendant in manush gana and moon in rakshasa?
First of all these people are sociable and friendly, that's the first that appears because
ascendant is governing principle here so these people are sociable and friendly, this person may be
highly sociable and friendly with the natural ability to connect with others on a personal level,
they may be well liked by others and enjoy spending time with friends and family,
they are emotional and intense, they can have a strong emotional intensity, may be prone to mood
swings and intense feelings, mood swings basically come because we are unable to process some deeply
intense feelings in a proper grounded way, we all have intense feelings, they may fluctuate from
time to time but these people may have a tendency to take things personally and they struggle with
letting go of negative emotions, they are ambitious and driven, they have a strong desire to succeed,
may be highly motivated by desire for power recognition or success, in the external world
they may be willing to work hard and take the risks to achieve their goals,
they are competitive and aggressive, they have that streak and may be prone to
anger when they feel threatened or challenged, they may need to work on developing more self-control
in these kind of situations, they are highly creative and imaginative which allows them to
see things from a unique perspective, they may be drawn to artistic or creative pursuits also,
people with this combination may be motivated by a desire for power and control but may also be
driven by a need for emotional intensity and excitement, they may be drawn to relationships
or pursuits that are intense and passionate and may struggle with boredom or routine, are you struggling
with some kind of a boring routine, boredom and you are desiring intense feelings, maybe this is
the combination, now let's take up a case study, now let's take the case study of a lady by the name
C, her ascendant is in Purva Asha da in the third pada which is Manushakana and her moon is in the
second pada of Ashlesha which is Rakshasakana and we can right away see her dominant element is water,
it's off the charts, it is very highly predominant, this lady is extremely emotional and deeply
sensitive, we can say that right away, all the other elements are pretty subdued, fire earth
and air is very less, so earth is the least meaning she might be very less grounded in matters,
there's a some degree of fire, passion is there and very little use of air or mental type of energy,
there is a lot of use of emotion, the chart is dominated by emotion, so let us see the ascended
nakshatra first, Purva Asha da nakshatra, what does it stand for, it falls in Sagittarius
and in the third pada it is going into Libra, the fire sign going into air sign in Nalamsha
which means what, this is very supportive of each other, fire going into air which is very mental
and passionate in nature, the energy is of unstoppable power through victory, Purva Asha da
is about gaining victory, victorious sign, there may be easy going in pada 3, going into Libra which
we are speaking of, finding one's own path in life, unconventional approach, chasing high ideology,
focus on progress, pleasant nature and flamboyant, difficult or no relationships, she does have a
lot of relationship issues, they have a good analytical ability and they have a life theme of
emotional roller coasters, now guess what, the emotion is off the charts, the water element
is dominant there, so this might be playing a lot in her life, emotional roller coasters.
So what's in the moon, moon is in Ashlesha nakshatra in Cancer again a water sign and moon is in the
second pada, Cancer going into Capricorn, water going into earth sign in Nalamsha which means what,
the water finds some grounding here in the moon sign, later on in life she will find more grounding
in every sense of the term as life progresses, the energies of Ashlesha are protection and
defense, they can get hurt easily, so moon in Ashlesha she will get very defensive when somebody
tries to sense or as she senses as a perceived attack, it's like a snake, it's ruled by naga,
so there can be very defensive in nature, considering she is emotional, this will be very
highly so, they are highly intuitive Ashlesha, they may be clingy and need to feel connected to
another, the earth energy sensitivity is high and action oriented, this lady might be very sensitive
to the earth energy in terms of emotion, water element, think of water element there, the theme
of Ashlesha dominant in sensitives and light workers is shedding old skin and mooning through
life, they could be introverted, quiet, irritable, vulnerable with a need for privacy a lot,
they could be deceptive and suspicious on the downside, so this combination what I am reading
here is this lady is needing a lot of emotional support because the extreme amount of intensity
of emotion both in the ascendant as well as in the moon sign, which she will find through life,
she needs to have some kind of a grounding and some kind of a teaching profession, why do I say
teaching profession, the lord of the ascendant Jupiter is in Pushya, immobile sign also in
cancer very exalted Jupiter, so she needs to translate her emotion to wisdom, could that be
possible, we tend to be little emotional lot in our cultures and in our civilization at the moment,
actually it is a tremendous amount of power when used correctly, emotion can be wise,
emotion can be used to guide as a counselor, as a teacher, as they learn through their
transformative abilities in Ashlesha, this lady will could be at least there is a potential
to become a great emotional teacher, a counselor of kind, that's how we interpret the combination
of ascendant and moon nakshatras, remember one thing as the conclusion of this particular one,
next one will be beginning light work series, so it will get more deeper as we go through
different combinations and what does light work really mean, it's a broad term and we shall explore
this more with respect to Vedic Astrology and also deeper meanings of Dharma, Artha, Kama and Moksha,
in the meantime, take care, be safe, be healthy, be joyful.
