The second glowing planet, Chandra, is considered as mother in astrology. He is denoted as signifactor or karaka of mother in astrology. He is also referred to as signifactor of mind, in the perception that he steers the mind.
Amongst the planets, while Sani is known to move slowly, Chandra on the contrary is known to have the tendency to move very fast. While Sani takes approximately 30 years to complete its orbit, Chandra will complete revolution around earth within 28 days. Hence, this is known to be the quickest amongst the planets. This planet is only second to Surya in showering its glow to the earth.
There is a sukshma(intricacy) in depicting Chandra as the
mother in Vedic Astrology, in a sense that Chandra creates the mother. In other
words, all the necessary characteristics for a woman to turn to a mother are
created by Chandra.
Ovaries are signified by Chandra. The average menstrual
cycle of females being 28 days, explains easily
the relationship between Chandra and motherhood. The menstrual days of females are linked to
the Chandra’s revolution around earth. This fact also underlines the
significance of effect of planets in human lives.
According to astrology, Chandra is termed as “Mano karak” or
signifactor of mind in a sense that he rules and controls the human mind. The
loss of balance and behavior of mentally challenged on Amavasya(New moon) and
Purnima(Full moon) is well known to us.
While all the remaining 8 planets have been classified as
Subha(Benefic) or Papa(Malefic) planets, Chandra is alone unique in that he oscillates
equally between being a Subha(benefic) or Papa(Malefic).
Starting from Purnima(Full moon) reflecting the illumination
from Surya in entirety to earth and
becoming a complete Subha graham(benefic) to gradually reducing the reflection and thereby the glow while moving towards Amavasya(New moon), attains papthuvam (maleficence) and is
considered Papa graha(Malefic) in-toto losing all the luster
on the day of Amavasya(New moon).
My conjecture that the planets were designated as Subha graha(benefic)
or Papa graha(malefic) only on the basis of quantum of light being reflected by
them by our sages, gains further strength from this feature of waxing and
waning of Chandra.
An important yoga bestowed by Chandra, termed as Adhiyoga, happens
when Subha grahas(benefics) like Guru,
Sukra and Budha are placed in 6, 7 and 8
positions from it. This is a very special yoga.
The sukshma( intricacy)
in this is that when planets that are designated to give beneficiary
results are placed opposite to Chandra
in the 7th house, gaining the illumination of Chandra, will get
further strengthened to give absolute beneficial results to the native.
Our sages have emphasized that as the illumination of
Chandra falling on 7th house also gets scattered to the nearby 6th
and 8th houses, benefic planets in 6, 7 and 8 places with respect to
position of Chandra, would lead to a very strong Adhiyoga.
One more important point to be noted here is that Adhiyoga
does not always give the desired results. Chandra, the architect of this yoga,
should be actually in a position to shower the illumination to the Subha
grahas(benefics) placed in 6,7 and 8 places with respect to its position.
That is, Chandra or Mathi(another name for Chandra) only when nearing Purnima(Full moon) or on
Purnima, when placed opposite to Surya
or when placed in Rishaba(Taurus) or Kataka(Cancer) being in exalted or own
houses respectively and becoming subha(benefic) Chandra, will have the ability
to strengthen the planets placed in opposite with its illumination and
facilitate the Adhiyoga.
On the contrary, when Adhiyoga occurs with Chandra in waning phase or weakened and
losing its glow, the yoga is not complete.
One more specialty of Chandra is in that amongst all the
twelve ascendants, Chandra’s Kataka(Cancer) ascendant alone is considered to be
very special and foremost as indicated in our scriptures.
Most of the distinguished reformers, who have tried to alter
the history of the world in some form, have all been born in Kataka(Cancer).
Why this uniqueness to Kataka(Cancer), is because the twelve signs of zodiac
have been classified as Chara(Moveable), Sthira(Fixed) and Ubhaya(Dual) signs
and amongst them the Chara or moveable signs have been considered to be exceptional
by our sages.
Mesha(Aries), Kataka(Cancer), Thula(Libra) and
Makara(Capricorn) are four Chara or moveable signs. Natives born with
ascendants in these signs are considered to be exceptional achieving anything
and amongst them significant achievers have been born with the ascendant as
Kataka(Cancer) owned by Chandra.
The sukshma(intricacy) in this is that apart from
Kataka(Cancer), the owners of the remaining signs like Mesha(Aries),
Thula(Libra) and Makara(Capricorn) also hold the ownership of another inimical
sign and do not fulfill their role as the owner of the ascendant.
To add further, since to the natives born in the
Mesha(Aries) and Thula(Libra) ascendants, the owner of the ascendant also
happens to own the eighth house from them and as regards to Makara(Capricorn)
ascendant, the owner also owns the 2nd house which is the
marakasthana(inauspicious house), Chandra uniquely owns the Chara(moveable)
sign Kataka(Cancer) alone and bestows the native with complete goodness. Hence
Kataka(Cancer) has attained a special significance.
Who
has identified Surya to be stationary? Indians or Europeans?
The real reason as to why astrology and astronomy are
considered as conjoined twins is due to the fact that the absolute scientific truths are embedded in
astrology. For example, modern history claims that the discovery that Surya is
stationary and earth revolves around it was made about 500 years ago. But it is
heartening that some of the scientists of recent times have accepted the fact
that this phenomenon has been indicated in the ancient Indian astrological
scriptures almost 1500 years ago.
It is well known that our sages while characterizing the
twelve signs of zodiac in groups of four as Fiery, Airy, Earthy and Watery,
symbolized Mesha(Aries) as uncontrollable wild fire, Simha(Leo) was
characterized to be a stable localized fire and Dhanus(Saggitarius) was
considered to be a dynamic fire having the qualities of both.
Amongst the three, Simha(Leo) the house identified to be of Surya, the way
it is positioned in the middle with arrangement houses on both sides,
conveys with certainty that Surya is
stationary and the other planets revolve around it and this is acceptable to
anybody with reasonable knowledge of astronomy.
Now that it is known to them, why have they not attempted
to announce in public like Europeans? Why did they not broadcast?
Good question…!!!
In the period, just between 2000 to 1500 years ago, there
has not been any audience for this subject, even if it was told. Intellectuals
did not constitute in majority in the then civilized society. When there has
not been anyone to listen, to whom could it be told Sir…?
Hence, whatever was found and discovered was shared only
with persons who could understand.
At times when a person was engaged in cutting down the
forests to have a plowable land making it amenable for agriculture, inventing
tools for tilling and leveling the
ground to meet the demand for food, our sages holding him near the beaches
during sunrise to tell him, “Look, we are only revolving the Surya..” would
have made him frown at them to shout , “ Get away… and mind your work…” and
walk away without looking back.
Even today how many of us are conversant with
Einstein’s theory of relativity or Stephen
Hawking’s definition of time?
Only when there have been necessities, will truths emerge and be acknowledged. The discoveries before the need arises will be saleable only to people who have understood and felt for the same. It is unfortunate, that such discoveries which are our intellectual wealth, have not been recognized by our own people and we simply play the second fiddle to Europeans.

Respected Guruji, knowing and learning is a closed concept, done by saint and passed onto the Brahmin scholars only. My paternal grandfather was in Trivacore Samasthanam as a scholar. These people are respected and appreciated in King’s court, surrounded by learned. Even the ladies are well versed but they never stepped out of the house. They all lived in Agraharam discussing and following their rituals based on the planetary positions only. These people gave so much importance to pacify planets by doing omaham, jabham, pooja, etc..I used to question and mock everything in my younger days until I got hold of astrology. Please continue to educate public about this valuable science and take out our veil of ignorance. Thank you. Maha
