Western Astrology gives the Sun Sign (The Zodiac Sign where the Sun was at birth) the greatest emphasis. While the Sun is important in Vedic Astrology, Sun Charts are always used together with the Birth Chart and the Moon Chart. The importance of the Moon comes second only to the Birth Chart, and no predictions are possible in Indian Astrology without calculations based on the Moon.
The Birth Chart in Vedic Astrology is drawn up to show the exact moment of birth. The Zodiac Sign rising on the Eastern horizon at the time of birth is known as the Ascendant or Rising Sign. Naturally, in the Birth Chart this is the Sign (Rasi) that will be the 1st House (Lagna), and the rest of the Houses will be the Signs that follow the Ascendant in the order of their appearance on the horizon.
The Birth Chart gives vital information for the person's life, but if one wants a very accurate insight into the character of the person, and the details of how planetary energies will play out, the Moon Chart is needed.
The Moon Chart is drawn up with the Astrological Sign where the Moon is placed as the 1st House. The position of the Planets will be the same as in the Birth Chart, but they will occupy different Houses.
Planetary Periods (Dasha) can only be calculated if the exact position of the Moon is known, and knowing the Dasha is one of the most important tool for predictions. The Moon also represents the Mother (or the Feminine). It is a receptive, yet nurturing force, a person's Moon Chart will show the "how" and "when" relating 우리카지노 to events predicted in the Birth Chart, as our actions and reactions in life are the product of our mental state and emotional response, which are mainly affected by the Moon.
A wonderful way of working with the Moon Chart is the Sudarsana Chart. In this configuration, the Birth Chart, Moon Chart and Sun Chart are drawn up in concentric circles joined at the 1st House of each Chart. The Sudarsana Chart make it very easy visually to see the different areas of life, as each House (Bhava) is in the same segment of the circle.
Looking at the Sudarsana makes it very easy to see all the combined effects from Ascendant, Moon and Sun on each House, providing a very thorough look at the different areas of life determined by the Houses.
The Moon represents mental state, mind, emotions, imagination, our link to the subconscious and creativity. This is why in order to see life opportunities and obstacles in Astrology, one has to take the Moon Chart in consideration, as the true life path is determined how will we react to the situations encountered. The position of the Moon in the Chart is given by Nakshatras (Lunar Mansions) The ruling planet of the Moon's Nakshatra is very important, as the character of the Ruler will have a great influence on the person's nature.
When Stephen Hawkins recently suggested the probability that alien life forms would exist in the solar system, it set the scientific community abuzz. But growing evidence from the Apollo astronauts themselves, may suggest that they had a close encounter of the third kind- including none other than Neil Armstrong himself.
When Apollo 11 landed on the Moon, the successful astronauts planted a flag, and searched for samples of moon rock. But according to sources inside NASA, something else was not publicized about this mission- a close encounter of the first kind.
NASA: "Whats there? Mission Control calling Apollo 11..."
Neil Armstrong: "These "Babies" are huge, Sir! Enormous! OH MY GOD! You wouldn't believe it! I'm telling you there are other spacecraft out there, lined up on the far side of the crater edge! They're on the Moon watching us!"
(Conversation censored)......
In a later interview with a senior professor of astrophysics, who had heard about the rumors of the above "censored" conversation between Neil Armstrong, and Mission Control. The professor asked one very potent question.
"What REALLY happened out there with Apollo 11?"
The reply by Neil Armstrong....
"It was incredible, of course we had always known there was a possibility, the fact is, we were warned off! (by the Aliens). There was never any question then of a space station or a moon city."
The shocked professor asked another question.
"How do you mean "warned off?"
Neil Armstrong replied hesitantly, seemingly afraid
"I can't go into details, except to say that their ships were far superior to ours both in size and technology - Boy, were they big!... and menacing! No, there is no question of a space station."
The interview ended in silence, and strangely remained unreported in the media at the time -as it was easier to control the media during the cold war, and the pre-internet age.
This was the first and only time Neil Armstrong admitted publicly the more secret events of the first Moon landing. But Buzz Aldrin, famous for becoming "moonstruck" after the mission, and escaping to the UK to become a recluse. Also admitted to "something" happening during the Apollo 11 mission, and today is a respected leader in alternative thought on how we view space, and our planets relationship with the universe.
There is no doubt that the probability of an advanced alien culture somewhere in the universe is more than a possibility. However until we actually publicly experience an encounter, there will always be doubts raised over any belief in alien life forms.
Neil Armstrong's response to the Apollo 11 secret incident, may open up are more arguments about how technologically advanced we are, and whether the subtle messages Stephen Hawkins among others are telling us- is that we may not be alone in our own immediate solar system.
