After focusing the star into the chart, then find the meaning of the natal planet sharing the pivotal position with the star. All of the visible planets and the luminaries seem equally sensitive to contact with a star, with the Sun being the most sensitive but only because a star to the Sun will be expressed through one’s identity and sense of self and therefore more obvious to the astrologer’s eye.

The Sun or Surya

Why is the Sun given importance? First of all the Sun is one of the stars and is the ruler of our Solar System, where all the planets along with their satellites orbit around it and all life forms depend upon the Sun’s energy for existence.

If the Sun, the giver of life, vitality, individuality, status, creative energy, radiant inner self, essential values, etc., is affected, then personal identity is altered and becomes linked with the meaning and mythology of the star. The positive expression of the Sun is radiation of the spirit, creative and loving and pouring of self; while the negative expression is pride, arrogance, excessive desire to be special. As a ruler of the individuality, it represents the main direction and focus on what you want your life to take and your determination to accomplish the goals you set. It represnts :

a) the heart in the physical body b) the eyes in the head

c) the power of loving in the soul

d) the understanding and the will to achieve one’s purpose in the mind.

The Sun is placed close to the meridian and on Regulas promotes the functions of ambition of power, honour and glory. If the Sun is close to the horizon and on Rigel, it gives vitality, energy and the capacity to achieve in early life.

In fiery signs the native is basically motivated by inspirations and aspirations, recharges energy through vigorous, physically demanding activity and by pursuing new visions for the future.

When dignified and well-placed, the Sun is the key to our chart, giving us energy and is symbolic of our Ego and reason for being, it is the core identity. It represents our conscious mind, will, ego, vitality, leadership and power of authority. The Sun rules important people, royalty. nobility. head of the State, the government and father. The Sun signifies our expression of confidence such as sports, the theatre and romance. The Sun influences the natural father, husband, male traits and children . The Sun’s forceful energy gives authority, ability to lead, rules royalty. There is a desire to rule and sway with incomparable judgement, truthfulness, humane but full of command, honourble, sumptuousness and magnificence.

When badly placed, the native is arrogant, proud, disdaining all men, purblind in sight and judgement, ruthless, troublesome, domineering, expensive, foolish, endowed with no gravity

in words or soberness in action, hanging on other’s charity and thinks that all men are bounded by him.

Medically, the Sun has influence on our head, right eye, circulation of blood, heart, general vitality. The dieases related to the Sun are pitta disorder, constitutional strengths and weakness, vitality, heart and blood circulation related problems, bones, teeth, headache, baldness, stomach inflammations, fevers, head injuries, injuries through quadrupeds.

Brady says that if your Sun was linked to Capulus, one is strongly focused with forceflul action. However, if your Sun was linked with Vega, you could define yourself as a person with a magnetic type of personality.

Abraham Lincoln had his Sun rising as Aldebaran, one of the great royal stars of Persia, was in the Nadir. Aldebaran represents a ruler or person who is driven to friction with strong integrity or a noble cause. Being on the Nadir implies that he will be remembered in this light.

We see the two sides of Algol, the great star of female passion and intensity or ruthlessness, in the case of Adolf Hider, who had his Sun on the Nadir as Algol was setting. He is remembered (Nadir) for the ruthless events (Algol) in the later part of his life (setting). However to demonstrate the benefic effects of Algol-Jules Verne, the father of science fiction, and writer of short stories and novels such as Around the World in Eighty Days, Journey to the Center ofthe Earth and Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, also had Algol rising with his Sun. The star rising showed that this star’s passion and intensity was connected to Verne’s massive outpouring of creative work.

The Moon or Chandra

The Moon, like the Sun, is another form of identity: how you feel, what you seek or find in your life. If the Moon is affected, then it alters what you believe in, what your ideals are, what you are passionate about. A Moon linked with Fomalhaut will be passionate about the arts or metaphysical subjects. It speaks of what pleases you, what nurtures you, what you therefore consciously or unconsciously seek and draw into your life.

Well-placed Moon makes one soft, tender, lover of honest and ingenuous sciences; delights in novelties, are unsteady, caring, peace loving, learn many occupations and trades.

An ill-placed Moon gives traits of a vagabond, idle person, hating labour, a drunkard, spiritless and spinless, delights to live beggarly and carelessly; content in neither good nor bad conditions of life.

Chandra affects our emotions, perceptual mind, feelings, desires, females, mental capacity, past experiences, early childhood.

Pathologically the Moon has control over raktha dhatu, face, blood, lymphs, stomach, lungs, left eye, breast, uterus, ovaries, fertility, nutrition, mucous membrane.

Diseases related to Chandra are Vata and Kapha disorders, mental and mental disorders, epilepsy, dullness, laziness, moodiness, blood, lympathic system, menstrual and hormonal disorders, tuberculosis.

Jules Verne was born on a day when the Moon set as Altair rose. Altair is the alpha star of Aquila the Eagle. Altair is the flight of the Eagle, to go higher and in a bolder fiction than anybody has before, to soar to unexplored great heights. Linked to his Moon via the Ascendant, this implies that as a young boy Jules Verne quested for adventure, for new places. As he became older, he found an oudet for all of this in his writing. He did not travel physically to these places but rather, moon-motivated, he traveled to them emotionally. The Moon connected with Facies, a star from the constellation Sagittarius. Facies is in the face of the Archer and represents war as a concept in the human way of life. It has no mercy and is ruthless in its aggression and its attitudes. Linked to the Moon it implies a person who loves the combative way of life, loves the military and may even be sadistically inclined. Adolf Hitler had Facies culminating as his Moon culminated (manifesting itself in his career). Margaret Thatcher, long-standing right wing Prime Minister of the UK, whose finest hour was the Falkiands War, had Facies setting (in the latter part of her life) as her Moon was on her Nadir.

The Moon is also how we receive nurturing, and if connected to a rising star then that star’s energy will give a description of your view of your mother, or what your mother taught or instilled in you, because the star is most active in the early part of your life. Prince Charles has Murzims rising as his Moon culminates. Murzims is the star in the paws of the dog of Canis Major. It is called the Announcer, and its meaning is to speak out or have something to say. This star indicates that Charles sees his mother as one who speaks out or has a message to announce. In adulthood this influenced his own actions as well as the type of woman to whom he would be drawn. He married the shy, young Diana, only to find that she was also a person who spoke out; she was a person with something to say to the world.

The Moon’s nodes: Rahu (North) and Ketu (South) – The Invisible Planets. In Hindu mythology there is a wonderful story that describes how the gods and the demons once formed an alliance to produce a nectar that could give them immortality. This is the story of the churning of the milk-ocean and the descent of Lord Vishnu as the Kurma avatara, the divine tortoise. When the nectar that was churned from this ocean was being served to the gods, a demon, disguised as a god, sat between the Sun and the Moon in an attempt to procure the nectar. When he was detected by the Sun and the Moon, Lord Vishnu immediately severed his head from his body. Unfortunately, it was not fast enough, for the demon had already tasted a small quantity of the nectar and had become immortal. Ever since, this demon is said to wreak vengeance on the Sun and Moon whenever they come near. The head of this great demon is known as Rahu and his tail is known as Ketu.

In Hindu Astrology Rahu and Ketu are known as two invisible planets. They are enemies of the Sun and the Moon, who at certain times of the year(during conjunction or opposition) swallow the Sun or the Moon causing either a solar or a lunar eclipse.In Sanskrit this is known as grahana or seizing.

What perhaps sounds like a childish story is a powerful metaphor for what actually happens when an eclipse takes place. Rahu and Ketu are the astronomical points in the sky respectively called the north and south lunar nodes.

To the observer on earth, the paths of the sun and the moon appear to be two great circles projected on the celestial sphere (see the diagram). The Sun’s path, the solar ecliptic, makes a complete revolution in one year. At the same time, the Moon’s circular path is completed in about one month. Every month the moon will overtake the sun which moves more slowly. This is called new moon or in Sanskrit, amavasya. Usually the moon’s path passes above or below the sun’s path and no eclipse occurs. But, periodically the moon overtakes the sun at the place where their paths intersect. This causes the sun or the moon to be hidden from the earth’s view and is thus called a solar or lunar eclipse. These places of intersection are the north and south lunar nodes, or as they are referred to in Hindu mythology, Rahu and Ketu. Therefore, in the symbolic language of mythology, Rahu and Ketu are said to “swallow up” the Sun and the Moon. The ancient Hindu observers of the sky were aware of the cause of the solar and lunar eclipses and so described the process in the language of metaphor.

Basically, a Node or nodal point represents a cross-over point where diverse energies become momentarily fused into Oneness, a kind of focal point, too. The Moon’s Nodes are the two points, exactly opposite to one another, where the Moon passes, in it’s orbit, from above to below the plane of the ecliptic and vice versa. What is the plane of the ecliptic, you might ask? The Sun spins, like all the planets. Therefore, it has an equator. If you were to extend the equator of the Sun out in all directions to the limits of the solar system, the resulting plane is the plane of the ecliptic. All planets are in constant motion in relation to this imaginary plane. The Moon and its Nodes are also in constant motion in relation to the Earth, to the Sun and to the zodiac.

Physics and astronomy tell us that anything that spins creates a magnetic field... so it is with the Moon orbiting the Earth... both are spinning... in themselves, around each other and around the Sun. The Nodes of the Moon are the focal points of a magnetic field that influences all life on Earth. Furthermore, these Nodes themselves are moving slowly in relation to the signs of the zodiac as seen from our perspective. When you were born, the Nodes of the Moon were in a particular pair of zodiac signs, each opposing the other.

Because of the enormous influence of the associated magnetic field and the influence of the pair of the zodiac signs and their associated issues, your very life’s path and purpose are molded and influenced by these Nodes. The Nodes of the Moon, when considered in the natal horoscope, can tell a lot about your life’s path, purpose, lessons, gifts, weaknesses, etc. Mercury or Buddha

The principle of Mercury is communication, conscious mind with logic and rational thinking through skills of perception, speech or writing.

In watery signs, thoughts are influenced by one’s deep feelings and yearnings while skills and speech are expressed sensitively, emotionally, and intuitively

Mercury in fixed star work is about ideas and intellect. It may affect the way you speak or it may emphasize all things Mercurial in your life. If you have Capulus, the star of aggressive male energy, linked to your Mercury, you are a very direct speaker, freely speaking your mind for better or worse. However, if Mercury is connected to Rigel, the star of the educator and teacher, then you may well be an educator, wanting to impart knowledge.

The nature of Mercury is either male or female, according to its placement. If it is in conjunction with male planets, then Mercury is male. The traits of Mercury are either good or bad and at times it is difficult to figure out as Mercury rules the animal spirit and is the author of subtlety, tricks, devices and perjury.

Formalhaut is linked to romance and poetic ability. Thus,

Carrol’s highly imaginative, idealistic, romantic, fantasy writing indicates that this imaginative expression in his speech or writing will form part of his career or become part of his social status.

On the other side of this coin there is a star called Wega, the alpha star of the constellation Lyra, the Harp of Orpheus, which covers everything it touches in enchanting charisma. On the day that Hitler was born, Mercury set as Wega rose. This is an indication of a most charismatic and spell-creating orator. The star does not describe the way he will use his charismatic skills, merely that he has them focused on his Mercury.
