#4 The Importance of the Moon


 

Our guest again this week is Anne Beversdorf and we discuss the importance of the Moon in Jyotish.  Eastern astrological traditions place a much greater emphasis on the Moon than do western systems.  This leads to an interesting examination of the differences between these two astrological traditions.

We explore the importance of the 27 Nakshatras; the vedic constellations that the Moon travels through each month.  The nakshatras are used in many different ways in Jyotish; in timing events and as a representative of the mind and the emotions.
