Lagna vs Moon Deep Teaching — Legislator vs Executive & Sarvatobhadra Chakra Intro

Lagna vs. Moon — Deep Teaching (Revisited)

Moon = the legislator within

The mind works in stages:

1. Experiencing the world — the senses take in signals and the mind forms impressions.
2. Processing — "I want the world to be this way." Desires and impressions form.
3. Forming action items — how I want to behave, how I want to influence the world.

• All of this is still inside the mind.
• "Mind is not just reaction. It is also the basis of action."

Lagna = the executive within

• When you finally go and influence the world, you need the Lagna. Lagna is that through which you act.
• Moon shows how you see the world and how you want to change it. Lagna shows how you actually change it.

"Moon forms the agenda for your actions in the world, whereas Lagna implements that agenda. Moon is the legislator within you. He makes the rules. But the executive within you is your Lagna."

Both are needed

• Does a person act aggressively or mildly? What kind of activity does he engage in? Neither Moon alone nor Lagna alone answers it. Both.
• "Whatever you act in the world is a cumulative of the two parts."

Introduction to Sarvatobhadra Chakra (SBC)

(From here the recording has stopped; the points below are from the written class notes.)

What it is

• A nakshatra chart that shows things "in all rounds". Look at it for the overall life force. It represents various entities.
• It is one of the ways to look at transit.
• Both rasi aspects and graha aspects can be seen in it.

Vedha

• Look for Vedha in the SBC.
• The class notes give the meaning as "purify", with obstruction as the secondary meaning.
• "Nature of planet slightly modifies because of Vedha."

Latta

• In the software: right-click the chakra → "Highlight Rasis and Latta".
• A planet having Latta is in general not good.
• A planet having Latta on the Janma Nakshatra (shown in red) is not good overall.

Planetary nakshatra aspects

Planets always have special aspects on certain nakshatras counted from themselves. This is the desire of the planet.

• The 15th is common to every planet. The SBC has 28 nakshatras (Abhijit included), so the 15th is the star straight across.

Speed decides the direction of the full aspect

• Vakri (retrograde): the planet is going backward; the full aspect is backward.
• Normal speed: the full aspect is on the direct axis, straight across.
• Fast: the full aspect is in the forward direction.
• Normal speeds given: Moon about 13° a day, Jupiter 0.08° a day, Saturn 0.03° a day.

Upagrahas

• If Kala, Mrityu or Gulika occupies the nakshatra, worship the deity of that nakshatra.
• See the transit too, for any planet influencing the nakshatra. Saturn's influence makes the person use the energy in a conservative way.
