- This is my weekly stream for the book I am writing on Phaladeepika, a classic 14th century astrology text written in Sanskrit, to clarify the older systems established by Parashara and others.
For the most current list of books I have published,
see vicdicara.com/b...
Such a beautiful, and even poetic discussion of the Moon, Vic...it's always a thrill to watch your videos...perhaps more so because no one else seems to explain things with such artistry and proficiency.
I'm glad you addressed that confusion of moon referring to mind and beauty.
I’ve grown as a Citizen 😌 over these past two years and your lessons have me Gripped!
Intensely Valuable!
Essence of moon is mother (maatu)
Sun moon are the big players. Luminaries. Significant forces. Sun is bright hot sharp face in day. Day king.prototype masculine. Teekshna
Moon is cool soothing.nightking.prototype feminine
Yoshakti- very qualified women, exemplary, ideal. Fertility. Mridu- gentleness affectionn sweetness.
Venus is estrogen mars is testosteronesun and moon are royals
Mars is immature masculine. Venus is immature feminine.
Moon is a person's sense of sweetness.
How into they are in lovely things. Mridula. Puspani sasyam
Sasyam is mannerisms
Women are inherently group behaviour, hence pleasant to others. Moon in 6th harsh manners.
Manners likeable in a woman
Physical properties of feminity
Rupa Seeta Kirti vastra
Rupa is beauty
Moon has to do with how u look. Moon what sign nakshatra house it is in
Seeta- complexion beauty
Sense of having brightness, shadow, glow, pop marks.
Kirti- lustre
Moon represents fame? Kirti- celebrity,how people celebrate u.
Sun is fame, how much people see in women are neither extroversive. So not famous.
Moon is not public outgoing demonstrative planet. How much of celebrity a woman is, when she walks down street how much attention she attracts. Send eof reputation. Of a woman is Kirti.
Vastra is style. How u dress. And style up.
Ascendant is how u look, really. Kapha Ayurvedic element is about glow, beauty aspect. Shiny, glowy, watery beauty. Big eyes, plum lips pink red naturally.
Moon is your mind. Swasti mana prasada
Mana is mind, swasti is overall wellness
Moon is Ur happiness of mind. Sukham tanusukham manuprasaadam.
Happiness is to mind what colour white is to mind.
Moon is wellness peace. Tanusukh is physical health. Whatever affects Ur mind affects Ur body. Tanubhojanama. Is physical enjoyment.
Sunnis motivator moon is experiencor.
Happiness is feeling u get when u satsify Ur desire.
Person with good juicy moon likes agriculture, doesn't mind getting dirty with soil in fields, likes to touch plants flowers seeds, is not yiked out by bugs.
Sasya phalani pushya
Sasya crops, phalani fruits, pushya flowers
All things that grow and blossom
Ambush is water. Water is moon. Water is fertility, life. Fluidity in body, complexion moisture hair eyes.

Your videos bring me peace Vic.
Genuinely, thank you for your service.
I give you back all the way I can.
Cheers
These explanations are so clear, they add so much depth and context to the amazing “planets in signs” videos. 🙏 🌙
Beautiful! I need to go back and catch up to everything I missed from the 3rd and 4th cantos but I'm glad I listened in. Thanks for sharing Vic!
The Moon with Ketu and Mars in my Aquarius 8th makes 'feelings etc.' a rather challenging topic on several levels for me.
TEMET NOSCE
Beauty, strength, fame, money, intelligent, dispassion/detachment is attractive according to the Vedas love it
This is a lit video tbh. I always like the phaladipika videos you do
It’s interesting how you mentioned rice. I’m not necessarily a moon person but my family eats rice every single day lmao. It used to be that I had a phobia when I was little that I could really only eat rice and a couple of other foods & my family accommodated. Ever since then, it’s been difficult to divorce from it even though I’ve expanded my pallet & gotten over the phobia. Must mean I’m a Moon person eh?
Thank you for teaching me again 🏵️🏵️🏵️🏵️🏵️
I have Moon in Cancer in the 1st house, its an interesting experience being a man with this!
Aw, I love that insight. 💛 I'm a Cancer rising with a troubled Moon (all factors taken in) I'm a total homo.
It's actually hysterical that she's in the 8th with Ketu and Mars (ruling the 5th)... almost, no imagination required. 😅
I mean, we won't mention other people's husbands, lol! I've been celibate for years now... Sorry, I've gotten carried away; just loving Vic and the Phaladeepikaa.
Thanks Vic sir for such a great revelation of moon.
Great session 👌Beautifully explained 👍 enjoyed listening 🙏
My Atmakaraka is the Moon & Cancer ascendent lots Moon energies ~`~ thanx for another great Vid Vic !
To answer that person’s inquiry, I have Mo-Ke conjunct in Hasta and I can sit and listen to Vic hand out gold for hours. I feel into what is being said; interpret and ponder. 😂🙏🏼🌟
Thank you Vic for another lovely video 🙏 Wondering if Phaladipika mentions anything about the dark side of the moon and it’s qualities(if any and if it differs from the discussion you already presented). Please note that I’m inquiring about the side that we as observers from the earth aren’t able to view at all.
Interesting question. 👁️
I think, moon is geo-synchronous with earth, right?!
Meaning, it shows same face to same location on earth!
I'm not sure the total astronomical truth about this though!
No, but every planet/house/sign can be either in a good condition or a bad condition. In bad conditions they will give bad versions of what they symbolize.
@@VicDiCaraAstrology Noted. Thank you Vic 🙏
Great discussion. Some deep insights. Thank you. Fellow astrologer here...With all due respect to your work and understanding of your chart, I'd humbly suggest that your Sun/Mars conjunction has far more to do with any 'manners' or abrasive or sharp quality than the moon in whole sign house 6th. (Of course, quadrant houses tells a different story.)
for sure, especially since Mercury is with them. It all stacks up.
@@VicDiCaraAstrology I'd say it couples with the Mercury/Saturn square bec of the Mercury co-presence with Mars/Sun in your chart. I have a Mercury/Saturn opposition (Mercury in H1) with a similar setup (Gemini Moon/Mars conjunction trine Sun) and have to be careful in the current era with my use of words. I think we would have had a much easier time in a different generation with those aspects with Mars and masculinity not on the back foot as it is. Very much appreciate your sharp insights though on planetary significations. Though I've been working with astrology for about 2 decades, you offered some new (for me) perspectives. Ty
yep, lotta moon emphasis in my chart. What am I doing now? Working in a department store and browsing fashion trends.
Love moon ! 4th house in Purva phalguni.
Think you'll do a rising sign series?
for sure
Patiently awaiting for Shatabisha Ascendant video . Ardra Moon , Anuradha Sun .
you are gold
🙏🏾❤️🔥
"I can feel it in my bones"
Bones are white and the moon feels. Pearls in ayurveda are used to strengthen bones.
❤❤❤
So we can say that if someone has a strong Sun but a bad Moon that someone is famous in a bad way (not reputable way)?
Moon in Aries / 10th - like to dress business like (pants, shirts, jackets, suits) and rarely dresses, skirts but simple, no fluff ... cancer Sun/ASC, Mercury in 1st.
I LOVE agriculture, growing plants, design gardens (did it professionally too) - and i thought is because of my NN in Taurus 11th.... (14 degrees away from Moon).
When i was baby my mom use to dress me only in white and red.
I love yogurt, cheese - cannot live without.
Moon trine Venus, Moon opposite Mars, Moon square Mercury ... fireworks
The author mentions moon mother and the condition of mind. Would you draw a link between one’s mother and upbringing to their own mind condition?
Thank you
Beautiful explanation as always but i got myself confused with keerti part, and how it is different from sun's fame
The reason why there are, "no famous women in history" is because of the samskāra of western imperialism and its subsidiary patriarchy, which systematically teaches people to oppress themselves and others. There are plenty of women who are extroversive and individualistic who could and have accomplished amazing things, only to be pushed down or aside by force. I feel sad that the Moon is assigned as the reason for this here. Your teachings are deep and profound, and I appreciate your work so much. I love that you are demystifying the teachings and sharing the roots of the texts with us. Your teaching truly has a decolonial flavour for me which is why I am so enamored with what you share. Also, when you choose not to name systems of harm, I find it distracting. If I had to assign a lack of extroversion or individualism in women to a planet, I would assign it to the effects of the samskāra of western imperialism delivered through a very unhappy and uncontrolled Mars. Women are socialized by a society of enforcement to be introverted, and they are punished if they attempt anything different. As you eluded to, Mars is an immature and powerful extrovert; this is what women are up against (both from within themselves and from those outside of them). I do not contest that someone's natural inclination may be introversive or towards care for the group before care for themselves, however the exaggeration of this trait in today's society (and the reason for the quoted misogynistic comment in the first place) is not because they are more deeply connected with the Moon; it is the karmaphala of western imperialism. When accurately re-framed, we can see (a) that this is harmful and needs to be addressed, and (b) where the source of the harm lies. Re-framing it this way also doesn't inherently blame the oppressed for their oppression.
even in other cultures women are less vocal, less outgoing. it is all encapsulated by the physical nature of the primary sexual organs (men go out, women go in). I do wholeheartedly agree with you that the world is a disgusting soup of mysogyny, but this doesnt mean that women are intrinsically extroversive or assertive.
I wonder if the changing quality of moon plays a factor in beauty and happiness by offering diversity and the possibility to create the desirable vs non desirable?
Keerti made me think of keratin, a popular beauty product ingredient. Is that the word you mentioned?
My youngest son has moon in first in the same nakshatra as mine, Mrigashira. The big watery eyes and bushy eyebrows very significant on that point.
Learning to farm now.. came out of no where at the beginning of last year.
There's some cool growing techniques using rice culture.
My family and I grew up on sweet rice and eggs. I can see how that may have supplemented and encouraged moon in our lives despite being raised mostly by our dad.
Nice nice.
Farming. 💯
Keratin, that is good observation. We produce the keratin too right,? Biologically, on our own!? I think it's also based on where we live on the planet wrt the equator. Sun/Moon.
Idk why but I'm hearing Melanin now, which is like Malina/Malign in English, meaning dark, spotted, dirty, controversial.
@@theoldgod9 The only thing I now of melanin is that it is the darkness to the skin ie more melanin the darker you are. Which for with a lot allows for more sun exposure with damaging or burning but restricts amount the body develops vitamin D naturally.
@@jamesrmosbeyii1122 hmm. I mixed my keratin👈👉melanin for sure. 😀
@@theoldgod9 😅😅😅 I know that feeling..keratin, melanin, collagen....🙃
I am honestly really curious to know astrology and beauty, modern day standards and traditional standards of beauty. Back in the day, if moon was a luxury item, much kings and sultans seeked white women and many paintings of the most famous consorts were all white women with pale skin and a fuller figure than what would be remotely considered beautiful today. Even white people tried to become more "fair." Kapha element today though has a propensity toward weight gain and or even at a normal state is still considered too full-figured by today's standards. This in my opinion is the case for both venus and the moon. I mean around 70 percent of the USA is overweight or obese so the ones with moon as an atmakaraka or moon in the first house are not going to be in luck.
I wonder when these standards did a 180. Now the beauty standards are slender, wilowy, chisled face, high cheek bones, bronzed. I wonder if it's due to the fact that much of our modern world is based off of utility and intellectualism. A woman with lush curves that isn't hardened by mars/saturn(fit) looks too vulgar (venus ? ) to the eyes in certain clothes and a woman too pale and innocent looking look too fragile to cope with the demands of the fast, modern life. (women of colour with moon in asc also tend to have the same wide-eyed damsel look even if moon represents fairer races)
His recommendation of rice is interesting as it is a carb and will make one bloated but will keep one nourished. I have venus, mars, jupiter, and moon in the first. I've worked my ass off to not be overweight. When I tried to add more protein to my diet, and started weightlifting, I started gaining acne while I typically have clear skin, and nice complexion (I wonder if that's due to adding more of the fire element activities and foods to my routine and increased levels of testosterone). I remember when saturn transited to my first house, I had an eating disorder, my hair was thinning and I had dark circles around my eyes that I covered with makeup..
But I think it would be interesting for Vicdicara to do a video on increasing a certain element in the body, and appearances of the elements, or dosha types.
Idk why but I'm stuck on word RTI, which seems to be part of KEERTI too.
I'd say moon fame is what mothers would like, sun fame is what fathers would like.
Like someone being attentive, caring, reflective, communicative, and skillful in human conditions would be a moon-fame. Everyone welcomes you in a get-together, you are famous that way.
Whereas someone winning a 100m sprint would be a sun-fame. One shines by having some one of value, which emits the light.
Moon fame should be coy too, I guess, as it only shines when everyone's sleeping. It's sort of latent and lends on relations. One feels it when someone reflects it.
I actually like how sun gives fame and moon alters it. I would imagine Saturn too? But I definitely see Sun being essential for fame or key to build on. I would imagine moon altering how someone to handles fame too.
Suffixes are not roots. The word Ṛti is not a part of the word Kīrti.
@@VicDiCaraAstrologythanks, grateful for your clarification. ✌️
Watching this vid on my bed with a giant plushie ❤ aqua moon-shatabisha nakshatra 11th house, I'm sweet sweet🤪✌🏻. I hate conflict, I avoid confrontation, and I think I'm well-behaved. I live in a profound solitude even though I have a lover, family and friends, I believe there will be always a kind of sadness in me, and pp will not finish to understand who I am or how I really feel things.
Pisces moon in tropical✌🏻
Is it mentioned st about the wife and the moon?
What is the difference between the joy of Jupiter and the happiness of the Moon? I thought happiness was a Jupiter thing but you say it’s a Moon thing
Many subjects are impacted by more than one planet. Happiness is impacted by Moon, Venus, and Jupiter. Even Mercury is related indirectly. Moon is the primary planet for it, because it is through the mind (moon) that we perceive happiness.
@@VicDiCaraAstrology I see , so it’s sort of like ones perception of reality , moon, taints the experience of it. One could have a great Jupiter and Venus but a really morose moon and then still be depressed, despite having so much to be grateful for. Makes sense why Moon is so important as perception is 90% of everything.
Yes! If the moon is very negative, but other planets very positive, you most likely see a native who has every reason to feel happy, but still doesn't, and no one knows why.
I live in Calcutta and we can always see Venus in the sky!
Awesome video
Also Venus also represents pillows beds and luxury items... what’s the difference between Venusian luxury and Lunar luxury
Good question. I don't think there is too much difference. If anything Venusian luxury is more suited to enjoyments and pleasure, while Lunar luxury is more suited to nourishment and growth.
time stamps please
❤️🙏
If moon is popularity n beauty, what planet signifies charisma or a charismatic personality??
different types of charisma, really. Sun is mainly responsible for the charisma that inclines people to follow and obey your wish
My freaking mom moon is in aquarious and freaking saturn is being sweeping my life away , for real , i lost almost everything
