The sun is the source of all warmth and life. It has been worshipped for centuries. It symbolizes the absolute power kings and despots yearn for and emulate. As a center of psychological symbolism, the sun corresponds to the center of an individual’s psyche. Its luminous aspects are usually associated with knowledge and consciousness. As a creator of life, it is related to the image of the mother and the influence of motherhood on an individual’s consciousness and ideals. As a result, the sun’s position in a birth chart always indicates the way in which an individual will relate to your goals and ideals, what your ambitions and aspirations might involve.

Aravind is a Jupiterian and as such, he is blessed with great luck and success. However, like any other planet, Jupiter also has its negative aspects- in Aravind’s case, this includes a tendency to over-identify with his social mask and neglect his inner self. This can lead to him taking things for granted and living a life out of luck rather than hard work and determination.

As the second light of the solar system, the moon has always been associated with the sun in the minds of men. It is a primordial cosmic couple, waxing and wanes like the mother figure hovering over her infant’s cradle. The moon is symbolic of the mother and mother image in the psyche of each individual. Depending on your nature, the mother figure may correspond to your biological mother, a grandmother, or a woman who cared for you in infancy and childhood. As an adult, you may transfer this figure to a spouse, a companion, an institution, a church, corporation, or political movement, a cult, etc. Your psychic activity will rule your daily life. Your imagination, memory, sensitivity, sensation, and sentiment nearly overwhelm your psyche.

Aravind writes:

The ninth house is an area of the sky which is especially important in your theme. In the following paragraph, we shall explain the general meaning of this fact.

According to traditional astrology, this area is ruled by Sagittarius, the ninth sign of the zodiac. Its chief attributes are moral and political judgment (laws, ethics, and politics as a means of improving society), dreams, distant journeys, studies such as religion, philosophy, priesthood, spiritual guidance, and wisdom. More specifically, we can interpret astrology as demonstrating that the life and consciousness of an individual gravitate around two fundamental principles: the self (the Ascendant) and others (the Descendant). In life, everything begins in us and proceeds outward, but it is reflected, experienced, and renewed by our relations with others. Indeed, once you grow beyond the subjective field of your ego and reach adulthood, you must be able to adapt and modify your abilities in such a way as to fulfill a specific function in the outer world. The reference framework you use to judge your worth is not only your personal life, but the huge complex of values, principles, and laws which regulate life in a community. The ninth house rules this much broader framework, which includes law as well as philosophy, psychology, science, religion, mysticism, occult studies, etc. An individual with a great deal of activity in this area of their astrological chart will probably feel a strong desire for personal expansion. An idealist, you will seek out experiences which reveal knowledge and meaning to you and give you a better indication of your purpose in living. The difficulties you are likely to face will be hidden behind what appears to be success. They may arise from your expansiveness, which is sometimes uncontrollable, or disproportionate. Although at the outset, your ambition and desire for personal development are a source of strength, they later become powerful enough to cut you off from yourself. If you identify too strongly with the flattering self-image reflected by the community, you may gradually begin to neglect your personal essence. Because this perverse tendency to confuse form with function is reinforced by modern society’s emphasis on packaging and advertising, you are likely to lose yourself completely. A state of expansion could be expressed as a psychic inflation (a loss of oneself in an abstract ideal, or a delusion of grandeur) or as a partial loss of oneself due to over identification with your personal mask (or persona). This house thus reveals that nothing is more difficult than failure in a period of success. Ambition, which may be a compensatory personal over evaluation, sometimes transforms understanding, a principle of cohesion and love, into personal power.

Aravind looks up at the sixth house and realizes that it is a very important part of his theme.
