Guest guest Posted June 6, 2004 Report Share Posted June 6, 2004 From Astro Vedica: http://www.hiddenmysteries.com/delucia/index.html A rule-of-thumb for understanding the Moon is given by its phases and brightness. The brighter the Moon is, the stronger it becomes while the darker it becomes, the weaker it gets. A dark moon is considered a malefic indicative of a mind which, to some degree or other, doubts itself, worries, exaggerates, is indecisive, without determination, prone to phobias, paranoid to some degree and which lacks that " go- ahead " spirit which the full moon would impart (other considerations notwithstanding). On the other hand, when the Moon is bright, and especially when it is full, it indicates a strong and healthy mind. Shil Ponde, in his book Hindu Astrology- Jyotish Shastra, sums it up very nicely by saying " The Shukla-paksha (bright moon) people may not be rich or even wealthy, but they seem to know what to do to develop what talents they possess and to enjoy life to the fullest extent, permitted by the station in life to which they were born. They have the power to rise in life through their own efforts " (P - 206). This is the basic idea behind a bright moon; it gives a positive mind, good memory and a stable emotional base.
