Why the Moon is Connected with Mind in Astrology.

In Astrology it is said the Moon governs the Mind of the person.

We see the Moon in the sky as a round figure of face and no limbs or other parts of the body. But it is moving. In astrology the Moon is the fastest moving planet. It does not have legs or other aids.

Our Mind is also like it. The mind does not have even a face but to personify we draw a heart. But its movement is faster than our physical movement.

Just like the Moon, our mind jumps from one to the other very quickly.

I think because of this the Mind is connected with the Moon.

Is this So?


 சோதிடத்தில் மனதைக் குறிப்பது சந்திரன் எனக்கூறப்படுவது ஏன்?

கிரகங்களுக்குள் மிக வேகமான நகர்வினைக் கொண்டது சந்திரன். நாம் வானத்தில் காணும் சந்திரனுக்கு கை, கால்களோ அல்லது வேறு எந்த அவயங்களோ காணப்படுவதில்லை. ஆனாலும் அது நகர்கிறது.

எமது மனமும் எந்த விதமான பௌதிக வடிவில் இல்லாதது. ஆனால் காட்டப்பட வேண்டும் என்பதற்காக இதயத்தை வரைந்து காட்டுகிறார்கள். (விஞ்ஞான ரீதியில் மனம் என்பது இதயத்தில் இல்லை). எமது உடல் அசைவின் வேகத்தை விட மனதின் வேகம் மிக அதிகமானது. குறுகிய நேரத்துள் அது ஒன்றிலிருந்து மற்றொன்றிற்குத் தாவிவிடுகிறது. உடல் அசைவு அதற்கு ஈடு கொடுக்க முடியாததையும் நாம் அனுபவ ரீதியாகக் காண முடியும்.
இதனால்த்தான் இவ்விரண்டையும் இணைத்தார்களோ?

நன்றி.

மகாத்மாகாந்தி கூறிய ஏழு விதமான பண்பாட்டுக் குறைபாடுகள்

மகாத்மா காந்தி இறப்பதற்குச் சில நாட்களுக்கு முன்பிருந்தே தனது பேரனான அருண்காந்தியைத் தினசரி ஒருமணி நேரமாவது தம்முடனேயே வைத்திருந்து பல விடயங்களை அவருக்குப் போதிக்கும் வழக்கத்தைக் கொண்டிருந்தார். அப்பொழுது உலகத்தில் இருக்கக்கூடியதான சில பண்பாட்டுக் குறைபாடுகள் பற்றிக் கூறியதில் ஏழு விடயங்களைத் தம்கைப்பட எழுதி அவரிடம் கொடுத்தார். அவை பின்வருமாறு அமைந்திருந்தது

1.     உழைப்பில்லாது பெற்ற செல்வம்.
Wealth without work.
(தன் முயற்சியால் சம்பாதிக்காத செல்வத்தை ஒருவன் அநுபவிப்பதற்கு உரிமையில்லை).

2.     மனச்சாட்சிக்கு விரோதமான மகிழ்ச்சி.
                Pleasure with Conscience.
(மனம் ஏற்றுக்கொள்ளக்கூடிய விடயத்திற்கு மகிழ்ச்சியடைவதே நிலையான மகிழ்ச்சியாகும்)
               
3.     பண்பாடு இல்லாமல் பெற்றிருக்கும் அறிவு.
                Knowledge without Character.
(எவ்வளவுதான் கற்றிருந்தாலும், அறிவு பெற்றிருந்தாலும் ஒருவரிடம் நல்ல பண்பாடு இல்லையாயின் அவரால் சமூகத்திற்கு ஒரு நன்மையும் இல்லை).

4.                    நோ்மை தவறிய வாணிபம்.
Commerce without Morality.
(வியாபாரத்தில் இலாபம் வேண்டும் என்பதற்காக நேர்மை தவறின் அது வியாபார நீதி ஆகாது).

5.     மனித நேயத்திற்கு இடமளிக்காத விஞ்ஞான அறிவியல்.
                Science without Humanity.
(விஞ்ஞான வளர்ச்சி மனித சமூகத்தின் முன்னேற்றத்திற்கே பயன்படவேண்டும், அழிவிற்கல்ல).

6.     தியாகமற்ற வழிபாடு.
                Worship without Sacrifice.
(வழிபாடு செய்வதென்றாலும் தன்னிடமிருந்து எதனையாவது தேவைப்படுமிடத்து தியாகம் செய்யச் சித்தமாயிருக்க வேண்டும்).

7.     கடமைப்பொறுப்புக்களைக் கொண்டிராமல் அநுபவிக்கும் உரிமைகள்.
                Rights without Responsibilities.
(உரிமைகளை அநுபவிப்பவர்கள் அதற்கு உரித்தான பொறுப்புக்களையும் ஏற்றுக்கொண்டவர்களாக இருக்கவேண்டும்).
நன்றி. – Thanks.

Astrological Parents

What is Astrological Parents? In Astrology usually the Sun is denoted for one’s Father and Moon for Mother. An Astrologer cast and predict according to the positions and movements of the Planets. Here we are not going into those calculations or predictions. But we could see the some facts behind for such sayings.

Everybody comes into this world in physical form from their parents. All of us are aware how our parents give everything for the benefit of their children. All parents wish their children to be first among all and find ways always to push them to the upper most level. But could any one challenge that all children look after their parents with care and affection? Definitely it is not. The increasing number in formation of Elders’ Home in every country shows a proof for this. In the good olden days families are always joint-families but nowadays with the marriage the couples go in separated families and this makes a distance first between them and their parents. It is true that many children little by little move away from their parents and finally forget what their duties towards them and a few give merely financial aids to live in Elders’ Homes. 

For each family the immediate elders are parents. If they have grand parents it is another story and we leave it for the time. Now we can go into the main subject.

The need of the Sun and Moon is inevitable for the living world. Parents also like that to the children. How?

If we see the history of human life style, the man is the main bread winner of the family and woman looks after the home management. In the modern world in earlier times only the males went to earn and females remain in homes to look after the children and preparing meals besides other needs to make the family. Now because of the so called ‘need of the present trend’ a baseless reason, both males and females go for earning, though, the issue is prime important to males and not to females. It is always a ‘laid down rule’ that a male should earn for his family.

In a family with children Father has to earn for the living and he used to go for that. He should have the necessary education or talent to do things to earn. Because of this in the earlier days males were permitted to study to the limit of possibilities and females were allowed only for a limited or no education. But in a joint family the young women usually study a lot from her elders and very well act to the situation.

The male goes out to work and acquire several experiences and he could feed them to his children. Because of this it was said ‘Father is the initial (first) teacher’ to his children. He is the person to show what the world is and this is equal to the aspect of the Sun that removes the dark and brings things to the knowledge of the people. When we walk towards the Sun our shade always follow behind us. This is when a child follows the words of his father (hears the lessons facing him) he acquires knowledge which will be in his background (shade) and helps him even after losing his father. The other meaning here is that when the Sun comes it brightens the world and all things are visible like this the father’s words teaches many things to his child.

The moon is cool and gives a pleasant mood to everybody. This is the love of a mother. When a child sees his mother he becomes cheered and feel relax. Under moon is same. Further there is another quality to moon. Unlike the Sun it always moves around. Please note among the so called planets in Astrology, the fastest moving planet is moon. The movement of the Moon is in a pattern in which it has two main aspects. One is its complete disappearance and other is full with brightness. This denotes a mother who attends both her husband and children. How? From the next day to New Moon Day it appear to her children in the Earth and little by little expands her brightness and finally comes to a full bloomed brightness on the Full Moon Day. That is she approaches her children gradually and stays with them fully for a day. Then she goes away gradually and finally disappears completely. On this day she is near to her husband, the Sun. But remember that even the Moon is with Sun its other side faces the Earth where the children are. It shows one side to the Sun and other side to the Earth.  Doesn’t this equal to how a mother attends both her husband and her children? Then thinking of her children she moves towards children, stay fully for a day and again goes towards her husband to look after the duties there. But remember that the Moon  always go around the earth which resembles that mother at any position (situation) have an eye on her children.

The peculiarity here is the moving Moon attends matters using here both sides but the stationary Sun always attend both Moon and Earth from his place. Even the Moon moves and goes to the far end it gets the light from the Sun. This is the type of relationship of a Father in the family.

So, in a way both Father and Mother always take care of their children and therefore the children should realize the nature and position and should not fail to have their parents in peace of mind and happiness.

Thanks.

Chaste:

When we pronounce this word everybody first think of women. But it is wrong. This attribute is common to both males and females. Then why it is thought only for women first. There are reasons and causes of these reasons come from males. It is natural in the common life that always males have the evil disposition to get control of a particular woman at sight. He easily loses his control of mind. This practice also came generations after generations with a rootless thinking that man is stronger. But, on the other hand women have another kind of attribute. In the creation of mankind basically there are differences both in mind and physical aspects between man and woman. Speaking of ‘Equality’ today has a different meaning that women have the ability and right to do things as men.  One should understand the word ‘Equality’. Actually there should be balance of approach and NOT SAME is the true sense.

When we speak of Chaste it is naturally blended with women. Whatever a woman is she will definitely has motherly quality within them. In practice we have experience that mothers never go on compromise even though her child did a wrong thing. (Good mothers advise their naughty children in a suitable manner at suitable time). In natural they do not lasciviousness. In strict sense they do not cheat or get cheated. The causes for their faulty actions come because of their motherly quality which is also emboldened with the words from the culprits. Though enticed they give room for ‘extended activity’ because of this quality. The fear sense is overpowered with this quality. We know the modern world has several methods of contraceptives so ‘fear’ sense is nonsense. Further females today lose their character because of influential and environmental aspects.

According to the physiology males aroused voluntarily but women are otherwise. Because of this nature of creation, even before two thousand years the world famous ‘Thirukkural’ advises men not to seek others wives. (Thirukkural Chapter 15). Please note Thiruvalluvar, the Author included this subject for men and there is no subject like this for women and even not allotted a chapter for ‘Chaste’. The subject is given to men to be aware of their weakness towards women and naturally women are firm. But in those days there were harlots who were only women but not men. It was legally permitted. This is only for physical requirements. The family women were respected highly and males tried to abuse were punished severely, if proved. To stress the importance a full and separate chapter was given to men. So, knowing the weakness (motherly aspect and sympathy) of women the males should protect the women. For this males should not think that they are higher or stronger than women. This is a matter with the mind and not physical.

Though today’s women do things that were earlier done only by men, it is not possible in the long run due to physiological aspects. The creation of different sex and gender qualities laid some rules and they should be followed by men and women. If one studies the body facts, then it can be seen that women have a body that should do stationary work
(Sit and work) while men have a body for fast moving work.(run pillar to post). I studied this even from some ancient scriptures also but unable to recollect which. (Any learned people may comment whether this is true or not).

Therefore it is absurd to discuss things on chaste quality blindly. In my opinion it is a matter regarding the mind and if one shows loyalty in mind-wise it is the true chaste. Because of the today’s brutal approaches many women lost their virginity. But this does not mean that they dropped their chaste quality.  

Both men and women should be aware of their nature and protect each other to form a full circle.

Thanks.
