When Chandra is in any particular sign, not aspected or conjoined by good or evil planets and the lord of the sign is powerful as has already been stated, then the characteristics detailed for that sign will be prominently seen. But when Conjunctions and aspects present are conflicting then there will be traces of these results. We say a girl is handsome.
In beauty there are any number of varieties and the judgements on beauty also vary according to the tastes of nations, manners, customs, social functions and aesthetic development. Habit also has a great deal to do with our tastes and judgements. The darkest Negro, the Hotentat, the American, the Indian, the aboriginals of India, the European and the Asiatic nations all have their own ideas of beauty.
It will be seen that the thirty degrees of any sign will not exercise the same influences and it stands to ordinary common sense to think so. A man walks thirty miles. The road, the scenery, the nature of the soils, the varied phenomena on the way, the climatic conditions, the presence or absence of watery surfaces, hills, valleys, dales, mountains, vegetation, animals, birds, beasts, reptiles, the human habitations, their varied features, his own physical and mental changes, all these and many more necessarily change his mind, and make him miserable or pleasurable, according to these various influences.
Similarly when a planet enters Mesha he will be affected in the 30 degrees with various sources of beneficial and malefic influences. Say the Sun enters Mesha in the 1st degree. We will explain the various influences in our colloquial language. First, he enters a friendly house; second, he enters his sign of exaltation; third, he enters his own Hora; fourth, he enters Kuja
Drekkana; fifth, he enters Kuja Navamsa; sixth, he enters Kuja Dwadasamsa; and seventh, he enters Kuja Thrimsamsa, we shall not go into further minor subdivisions. Here we have to take that Ravi is alone there, unaspected and uncombined and within respectable distances from other planets. Here again he travels in two and quarter stars in each sign which have their own peculiar influences. Aswini extends over 13 1/3 degrees and it does not exercise the same influence all through those degrees. The tenth degree or the end of the 3rd quarter is his deep exaltation where he is said to give the highest beneficial influence.
From the 262/3 degree till he passes the 30th degree or the end of the first quarter of Krittika he travels in a star governed by Agni. Bharani is governed by Yama or the dread judge who punishes all wicked people after their death. These are not easy lessons which could be learnt by casual glances. They require deep, intelligent and patient study.
