Mental illness in a Chart Moon and Mercury

Foreign.

Hi, I'm Joni Petrie and welcome to my YouTube channel. Today I'd like to continue with my series on specific secrets that you may find in a chart that will give the information that you're searching for. So one thing that usually comes up is about mental what determines mental capacity or problems mentally? Because there's all sorts of.

Very difficult mental problems that are out there in the world. And if you can determine some of them through astrology, this can deem incredibly helpful. Now, the two planets that deal with the mental cognition, how we think and our mind are going to be Mercury and the Moon. And when you put these two planets together, Mercury and the Moon, and this means either they are in the same sign or they are opposed to each other. So this means that Mercury and the moon are fully aspecting each other. If, if this is the case, this person can never stop thinking. The mind is always, always on overload. And there is the myth of Vedic astrology. Mercury and the Moon are not friends because Mercury was actually in the whole mythology, the illegitimate sun of the moon. So they're not too close to one another. Okay, so, but, but one thing is going back to, to how they deal with perception, deal with the mind. And when Mercury and the moon are strong, and particularly where the moon is in the fourth house, because it's strong there, it's relative to the fourth sign, cancer, and it's aspected by Mercury, this individual will have an incredible memory. The mind never forgets anything. It's like, it's amazing how they remember. So this could be a great benefit when we're talking about exams in school and learning and education. But they have a problem letting go of things because they remember everything and can't let it go. So sometimes they need to learn to let go of the past. This is Mercury Moon contacts by conjunction or opposition. And when you find Mercury is in possibly cancer because that's that sign rules the moon. This can give an amazing memory, but can also cause disturbances of the mind never slowing down. It doesn't allow the person to rest, to have peace because there's constant thought, constant thinking and can be a bit out of control where the mind is not balanced. Now the another instance of dealing with the mental cognition will be when the moon, which is the moon, is the mind, it's consciousness, it's awareness. When it is conjunct Rahu, you're going to find that the individual is overly obsessed with things. They can't stop obsessing. They think things over the top, but they can't stop it. It's like it's over and over the same thought. It's like a hiccup of the brain. So it can also make people very paranoid, very paranoid. Always wondering if someone's after them or what's going to happen or worrying about the future. But they can't stop worrying and being over the top.

Afraid. Afraid of the future, afraid of the world. This is Rahu Moon and so intense and so obsessive about so many things. So this disturbs the mind. Now Ketu with the moon is a lot softer and can be a bit more into spirituality and understanding things better. But it still can cause some problems dealing with the thinking mind in consciousness. And it can be because this is the node of the moon obsessive as well. But it's not near as compulsive as Rahu Moon. Ketu Moon.

So another, another aspect is any planets that are with the moon or with Mercury can give a perception of the quality of the mind, how they think, what they focus. Of course Jupiter with the Moon or Mercury with Jupiter will be more optimistic, will be happier, will look at things in an optimistic viewpoint. But Saturn with the Moon can make someone serious and depressed at times. This will be the case as well as Mercury being with Saturn. This will be someone that can be very serious and the level of focus of the mind laser sharp because they can tune everything out and focus. This is Mercury with Saturn and usually they're great writers because you have to focus to write and you have to be disciplined. So there's the mind with the discipline and focus with Mercury with Saturn, Saturn with the Moon. The Moon is more of the emotional body but it's also the mind and it's the way that the mind processes thinks about things and it can have this level of heaviness and depression. So Mercury and the Moon conjunct planets. If they're conjunct Mars, Mars will give this energy and Mars will make them very ambitious and driven. Mars Mercury I always call that the lawyer aspect because they're able to argue their points. They're incredible with their oratory ability and with speaking focus they talk about facts. This is Mars Mercury and Mars moon is a Chandra Mangala yoga which represents business success. So that's where Mars Moon can really bring out successes.

So the other planets, I'm not going to talk about the outer planets. They do give this quality though if you have Moon Uranus, trust me, things will be very unpredictable, especially relative to the mother. I guess I am going to talk about the outer planets and Neptune being next to the Moon. This is a mystic, someone that believes in the spiritual realm and has had spiritual mystical experiences. Pluto, Moon, everything's about being in control. And the mother. Remember, the Moon is the mother. So the mother can be very controlling. When Pluto is conjunct the Moon.

So Venus conjunct the Moon means you will work a lot with women throughout life, because these are both indicators of the female and woman. So you will have something important to do throughout life at some point dealing with women or women's issues. Okay? So of course, if you have the sun conjunct the moon, you're born under a new moon. And this is a dark moon, it's not a full moon, which is the opposite. When you have a dark moon, guess what that means? You're very introspective. You go within, you think to yourself, and you like your privacy.

So most of all, what this whole class is about is when you bring together Mercury and the Moon, it will cause mental instability. For one thing, the Moon is the mind, consciousness and awareness. Mercury is how we process information and putting them together is incongruent. It's way too much thinking, too much process processing, but great intelligence. But peace of mind is hard, hard to come by. So these are going to be the variables of the mind, consciousness, awareness, and this is how the mind operates. And you can always look to the Moon and Mercury to better understand this. A birth chart. So with that, I'd like to close.
