Guest guest Posted October 2, 2008 Report Share Posted October 2, 2008 Dear Members: I thought you might enjoy my answer to the question, " Why is Taurus the exaltation sign for the moon. " ... There are several coinciding factors which make taurus the place where the moon operates best. (Specifically the most exalted spot in taurus is 3º, which is when the moon is in the lunar zodiac " Krittika " and the 108th Zodiac of Capricorn). 1) Moon is water, Taurus is earth. Earth + Water = Fertility and fertility is extremely important to the moon. 2) There are two other earth signs, Capricorn and Virgo. Virgo is not as good because it is an infertile sign. Capricorn is better than Virgo, but saturn is less womanly than Venus. Venus rules Taurus. Therefore ... ....Moon (Female) + Taurus/Venus (Female) = excellent synergy. 3) Notice that the exaltation degree (3º) occurs when the moon is simultaneously in the main sign of Taurus and the 108th division of Capricorn! 4) Taurus is STABLE, and the moon's only real weakness is that it waxes and wanes and lacks stability. The other two earth signs are not stable (Capricorn is a growth sign and Virgo is a dual sign) - therefore Taurus is the best place to counterbalance the instability of the moon and make it very strong!!! 5) The lunar zodiac Krittika (which is at 3º Taurus) is owned by the Sun. This is the finishing touch on fertility. Earth from Taurus, Water and motherhood from Moon, + sunlight from Krittia. Therefore 3º taurus is the absolute most wonderful spot for the moon!

Guest guest Posted October 3, 2008 Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 Vic ji, Chandra is uccha in Kritika because this signifies the mind concentrating on the soul. Atma Karaka Surya is uccha in Aswini because the soul is exalted when liberated. I read this in some book--wish I could remember which one! ~~~~~~~~~ Balaji Narasimhan Author & Editor http://www.balaji.ind.in/ ~~~~~~~~~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 4, 2008 Report Share Posted October 4, 2008 Dear Mr Dan Wonderful way of expression and logical. I think as Mr Vic was referring that Taurus is in Pridhvi tatwa,Venus in this sign is more practical so thatKrittika represented by atma(karak Sun) and Manokarak Moon feels comfort to get into a stage of purity ad get into a state of exaltation vrkrishnan --- On Sat, 10/4/08, Dan Nelson <dan_nelson123 wrote: Dan Nelson <dan_nelson123 Re: RE: Why Taurus 3º is Best for the Moon? jyotish-vidya Saturday, October 4, 2008, 7:56 AM --- On Sat, 10/4/08, Balaji Narasimhan <sherlockbalaji@ > wrote: I read this in some book--wish I could remember which one!I have a small book, " Astrology In Vedas " .
