How Can Emotional State Of A Person Be Analyzed With The Help Of Astrology

So, let’s see how you can analyze your emotional programming, so that you can make yourself more productive. Some of you may have a misconception that can you can change your cosmic alignment, yes it is possible because the almighty has blessed us with a free will. So, you should not feel doomed.

First, look at the position of Moon. Moon means a lot in astrology. It signifies mind, mother, peace, comfort level and emotions. Your moon is the indicator of your mental faculties. The Moon has to be in a very stable mode.

Moon in earth signs like Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn is an indication of a mind in a fixed state. You should not misunderstand that if your moon is not in an earth sign, then it is a bad placement. There is nothing in astrology which says that this placement is bad or good.

God will give everyone a chance to be happy and successful in one's life. You will achieve success when you understand who you are and what you want. You can make adjustments accordingly, so that you can attract the best for yourself from the universe.

Moon is best when it has support. That means your mind is capable of adjusting to the surroundings. It means you have a good support system around you. It can be through your family, or friends or your lifestyle, so that the outer tides can’t easily bother you.

Look at the box where Moon is placed. Find the boxes on the left and to the right of the Moon. If those boxes also have a planet in them, then yes it shows that your Moon in supported and you have a support system. You are somewhat handling your relations. This is just a basic way of showing you have support system around. However, to know what each is, we further must delve into the planet, nakshatra, etc.

If you see a Moon alone in the box, without any planet in the boxes present on left or right, please don’t panic. This placement is there in 75% of the population.

You should understand that this is a call from the universe to stand on your own feet and depend only on the Cosmic Man. If you start depending on other mortal beings, then you will always have a rough sale. You may frequently find yourself at a lonely mode.

How Positioning Of The Moon Can Help Know One's Emotional State

According to the placement of the moon, in a particular house and sign, it can help signify the state of the person with the help of the Moon's placement. Your mental activity is always based on the characteristics of the house and your mind is based on the element of the sign.

When your Moon is present alone, without any support on either side, then the nature of the element aggravates towards the negative side. It is better to be in a safe mode and not to fall in the burdening phase of life, which aggravates the characteristics of the sign.

If your's is a water sign, your moon is always swimming in the deepest emotional seas. You should try to sail in the safe waters.

If it is a Fire sign, reduce any element that gives heat, so that others can also approach you.

If your's is an Earth sign, add some more flexibility in your thoughts, so that you can make your understanding better about others and vice versa.

If your Moon sign is in the Air element, try to be more reliant, so that people can find you as a grounded person with stronger views.

Relationships are getting more complicated these days. Even though we are technically connected, we are emotionally distant. We are becoming less able to connect with each other.
