The Moon has been said to be the
planet of fecundation. The Moon is the deciding factor in shaping the events of
life.
The Moon in Taurus, Gemini,
Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces show better inclination to studies
than when he is in other signs. The effects accruing from the Moon vary in
nature according to his waxing and waning states. The waxing Moon in the ascendant,
the 2nd, 4th, 5th, 9th and 11th
bhavas indicates good intelligence and
aptitude for learning. The waning state and weakness arising from his position
in signs with malefic connections beget adverse results. The Moon in the
malefic 3rd bhava, makes one a man of
few words. In the benefic 3rd bhava,
the strong Moon blesses the native with high education. The position of the
full Moon in the 6th bhava coinciding
with Taurus or Cancer is productive of shrewdness and soundness of mind. The
weak Moon posited in her inimical or debilitation sign which coincides with
the9th bhava creates intellectual
poverty. The same effect is indicated by the Moon in the 10th bhava coinciding with an inimical or
malefic sign or his sign of debilitation with full aspects of malefics. The
strong Moon in the 2nd, the 4th or the 11th bhava
gives intellectual faculty and rationality. The Moon in the ascendant makes the
native learned, when strong Saturn is posited in the 10th bhava fully aspected by Mercury. But the Moon in the ascendant
fully aspected by Mercury makes the native of low mental capacity.
The Moon in the 12th bhava brings out bad words. The aspect of
Mars on the Moon and the lord of ascendant show dullness. Words of humor mark
the native when the Moon in the 8th or the 12th bhava is fully aspected by Venus. The Moon with navamsa in a sign of Mars fully aspects
by the lord of the 9th bhava posited
in the 9th blesses the native with rare wisdom and makes him a celebrated
author. The owner of the sign in which the Moon is posited falling in the 4th bhava gives understanding and reasoning
power. The lord of the sign occupied by the Moon invested with all strength and
aspects by powerful benefic – this one planet by himself – blesses the native
with discernment, perception and prudence.
Sunapha and Anaphayogas
formed by the position of planets excluding the Sun in the 2nd or the 12th bhava
from the Moon indicate generally intelligence and tendencies for high
education. When one or more planets are placed in the 2nd bhava from the Moon, Sunapha is caused. One or more planets
in the 12th bhava from the
Moon give rise to Anapha Yoga. When
both the 2nd and 12th bhavas
are occupied by planets the yoga is called Dhurdhura.
There are 31 combinations each under
Sunapha and Anapha and 180 combinations under Dhurdhura. The tendencies and
particular tastes for different branches of learning are impacted by the traces
of intrinsic characteristics of planet or planets responsible for the yogas. While deducing results from
these yogas it must be borne in mind
to take into account the strength of the planets or planets causing the yoga,
the nature of the country and of the Government and also of the family and
status of the native.
Mars as yoga-karaka imparts
haughtiness, cruelty, hard and militant nature. Mercury infuses a fine and soft
behavior and interest in music, fine arts, dance and allied things. Jupiter
confers discretion, perspicacity, talents and advising capacity. Venus lends a
pleasure-seeking tendency with cleverness, shrewdness and amiability. Saturn
instills skill, forwardness, keenness and an inclination for underhand
dealings. These fine traces bestowed by planets are to be suitably applied in
deducing of results.
When the Moon falls in Centre
(the 1st, the 4th, the 7th and the 10th)
from the Sun weak intellect is indicated. The Moon’s position in Panapara houses (the 2nd, the
5th, the 8th and the 11th) from the Sun shows
medium intelligence. The Moon’s occupation of Apoklima houses (the 3rd, the 6th, the 9th and the 12th)
from the Sun gives a good intellect.
Aspects of planets on the Moon,
when he is posited in different signs form the most important factor in the
study of mind and intellectual capacity through which alone discernment of the
line of education is possible. The Moon as Karaka of the mind is the one planet
who gives tendencies for various things and aspects of planets on the Moon, and
his combinations with them give definite shape to those tendencies. A thorough
examination of these points is therefore absolutely necessary in a
determination of the fine of education.
