The Sun and The Moon

The Luminaries (The Sun and The Moon) are regarded slightly differently in Vedic Astrology compared to other traditional astrologies.

In this video (part of the “Fiona and Fernando's fireside chats, myth-busting common astrology presumptions”) we examine

• The luminaries as 'planets'

• How they create the Zodiac and the Lunar Mansions

• How the Moon is masculine in Chaldean Astrology

• Neutrality vs Malefic/Benefic

• Combustion

• Full moon in different astrologies

• Similarities between astrologies (lonely moon, combustion)

• Reading a chart from Ascendant, Sun and Moon; and

• The importance of the Ascendant; and

• The physical perceivable effects of the luminaries
