What Parasara Advocates.../venus-moon combination

[Guest guest]

-Dear Jyotishis,May I ask a non scholarly question here

about 'symbols' or pendants. Regarding the combination of Venus and

Moon: All my life I have been attracted to this symbol--the crescent

moon with a 'star'. I had bought charms of this symbol as a teenager

and even doodled this image on my notebooks and in margins of papers.

As I got older I collected some pendants with this combination.

My question is---As I have the planet Shukra in the 12th house along

with Surya, is the pendant of Shukra and Moon a logical 'balancer'

for this situation? Do you know of any Vedic jewelry of this nature?

I understand the crescent moon and star is used in pagan charms and

in symbols of Islam.

I bring this up as you have mention the combination.

 

Sincerely,

Lien

Mrityunjaya mantra and Amriteswari is perhaps shown by a combination

of Venus and/or Moon.
