Many people consider their personalities as their sunsigns, like if someone is born on 21th april, that person will consider him as ARIES, but that’s not how it works, although greek astrology gives importance to sunsign but in Eastern astrology we consider moon sign more important than sunsign.
The reason eastern astrology doesn’t consider sun important is because it represents our soul, inner being. Soul is divine and it can’t be touched, understood or manipulated.
Ok let’s just forget the fact that sun is our soul. Let’s just say we do count sun as our personality. This means, from April 15th to May 15th hundreds and thousands of babies are born. Does this means, whoever is born in that time period should think and act like ARIES? You do the math. The dates I’m using are Vedic dates of actual zodiac signs.
Now, our silvery shinny moon-
Moon stays in a single zodiac sign for about 2.5 days, compare to 30 days for sun.. this narrows down your search for true personality.
This is why eastern astrology gives more importance to the moon sign than sun sign.
But is this only reason why vedic gives importance to moon only because 2.5 days is better than 30 days? NO!
Moon represents our mind. Our thoughts process is controlled by moon. What you think is controlled by moon and it’s phases. But, that still doesn’t show the in-depth personality of yourself if you look at it. This is where most astrologers fail. It’s not about the signs, it’s about houses anf degrees..
Yes your moon stays in a given sign for 2.5 days, but it stays in a given house for only 2.5 hours. We have now narrowed our search from 100,000 of same personalities to just few hundred. But we still aren’t there… Now remember the degrees? Hope you’re now getting my point.
IT’S ABOUT DEGREES.
Moon can be in Gemini in 12th house, but it’s moving, and the point of degree it was at when you were born is what shows how you think, which is represented by the degree, Yes, your NAKSHATRA.
Moon’s Nakshatra is considered the most important, because moon is our mind, the way we think.
Let’s go into more depth, A single nakshatra, for example- ‘Rohini’ nakshatra, is divided into 4 different parts called ‘PADHA’
ROHINI PADHA 1 - 10 to 13 degrees
ROHINI PADHA 2- 14 to 16 degrees
ROHINI PADHA 3- 16 to 19 degrees
ROHINI PADHA 4- 19 to 23 degrees.
Each PADHA has it’s own personality inside a single nakshatra. Now if 4 babies are born in 4 different padha’s of a single nakshatra, then those 4 babies will have different personalities and different outcomes in life.
