Could be, what does Jyotish say about the moon (Chandra) in particular?, it seems to me Western and Eastern astrology are pretty consistent as to it's peculiar characteristics, per se.
Max Heindel used to say the short hour hand of a clock is the Sun, the long minute hand is the Moon, by exactly comparing these movements (of the sun and moon) to the natal and progressed horoscope one can predict the exact moment of an occurrence in one's life. ---In [email protected], <[email protected]> wrote: wgm, I've heard or read several jyotishis say that Moon signifies mind.

Moon in Pieces makes one very sensitive, perhaps too much depending on the other aspects.

If the Moon is placed here, the Moon becomes more sensitive since the Moon is already wavering and watery by nature. ---In [email protected], <jr_esq@...> wrote: Why was it written that Jesus was born in a manger? Because he was born on December 25 which astrologically lies between the signs of Sagittarius, a horse, and Capricorn, the goat. Interesting?
