I am sure that these simple examples clearly illustrate the effect of the rays of the Sun on ordinary day to day human affairs. As with Sun so with the Moon and the other planets of the solar system. Who does not know the effect the rays of the Moon have on sea wavers? If sea waves could be so affected, how can the human not be? Various studies on crime have revealed the relation between the rays of the Moon and minds of people. There are many cases of known criminals who committed murders on full-moon days alone.

 

Mars in astrology: relates to discord, the tendency to break or separates, the tendency to break or separate, violence etc. One finds that people who are born when Mars is prominent in the skies generally work as policemen or in the army or live a life of strife. This fact has manifested itself even in our languages. For instance, in English, while referring to someone who disrupted the proceedings, we may say that he ‘marred’ the proceedings. Please note here that the word ‘marred’ the derived from Mars. Similarly in Hindi if you have to refer to someone beating the other, you say ‘Marta hai’. The word ‘Marta’ here also seems to be has derived from Mars.

 

Astrology believes: that when the child comes out of the womb of his/her mother, the first rays of the Sun, Moon or the planets he receives make an imprint on his personality. Imagine when a child comes out of the total darkness of the womp, everything the experience including the heat, light or the gravitational pull of the planets would be for the first time end therefore like a shock. All this is bound to have an impact on the persona. It is obvious however that the impact of the rays of the persona. It is obvious however that the impact of the rays of the planets on children born at different times of the day/night would be different. For, if it is noon time, the rays of the Sun will be at their peak. If it is morning, the Sun is rising and if ti is evening it is setting. Thus the first exposure of a child born at noon time will be to the fierce rays of the Sun as compared to the cool atmosphere experienced by a child born at night time.

Obviously the effect on the persona of the two is going to be different. As the Sun rises, peaks and sets; so does the Moon and other planets when they are at the ascendant, meridian or descendant, their positions changing because of the motion of the earth around its axis. Accordingly would the nature of their rays change, it thus becomes clear that in order to know the effect the planets have on the persona of a newborn one needs to know and identify the position of the planets in the zodiac at the time of birth. Now you may ask what the zodiac is at the time of the birth. Now you may ask what the zodiac is. Zodiac simply is circular belt of space above the earth. In order to identify as to where in the zodiac a particular planet is located, astrologers have divided the zodiac in different and assigned names to each part. Accordingly, the zodiac, which is a circular arc of 360 degrees, is divided into twelve arcs of thirty degrees each. These twelve arcs are named as under:

 

Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces. There are more famously known as the signs of the zodiac. Zero degree of the zodiac starts from the first point of Aries. This is said to relate to the position of the Sun as it is on the day of the vernal equinox that is 21st March of every year by.
