Then *love* (not emotion, being watery) would be given over to the fire signs and the sun, yes? Here's a distinction between love and emotion?
---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <fairfieldlife@yahoogroups.com> wrote: Share and Billy, In jyotish and western astrology, the Moon is the significator of the mind and emotions since the Moon is the quickest moving object in the skies. It is also associated with Soma, the mother and the ocean tides. In vedic literature, Soma is the plant that provided bliss in the mind. And, the Moon is the ruler of Cancer, the fourth house from Aries, which pertains to the mother (the one who cares and nurtures us), and inward feelings of the chest. Further, the cycle of the Moon affects the tides of the oceans, and the menstrual cycles and emotions of females. Hence, in combining all of these factors, the Moon is the natural significator for the mind and emotions. On the other hand, Mercury, in jyotish, represents logic and reasoning. The sanskrit word for Mercury is the Buddha which signifies the intelligence in human beings. In Greek and Roman mythology, Mercury or Hermes is associated with speed in delivering the message. Thus, a person with a strong Mercury in the chart will be excellent in his or her speaking, writing, and reasoning skills. ---In fairfieldlife@yahoogroups.com, <no_re...@yahoogroups.com> wrote: I don't think John meant the moon signified the mind, rather the moon in Pieces affects the mind (like all of the other signs affect each other as a composite whole) in an emotional, imaginative way depending on the aspects and other indicators. 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 fairfieldlife@yahoogroups.com, <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?
