wgm, thinking again about Jesus as a Pisces and being the embodiment of agape, it's interesting to me that Venus, airy in Libra and earthy in Taurus, is THE planet of love and exalted in Pisces, a watery sign. As for emotions, I think of Scorpio as deep emotions, like deep, still lakes. I think of Cancer as the flowing emotions, like rivers. And Pisces as expanded, more universal emotions, like the ocean.
Fire signs I associate more with the level or action and will to action. But these are just my way of having fun with all this. I'm not a trained jyotishi. I think John has more formal knowledge about it.

Here's a distinction between love and emotion? ---In [email protected], <[email protected]> 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 [email protected], <[email protected]> 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 [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?
