you said “strengthening saturn can make you skinny, but it’ll make your face look horrible.” can you explain this please ❤️ also regarding the face dysmorphia question… you said that its not distressing, but what if it is? especially for a ketu in first person. does ketu-venus add the distressing factor or maybe it could help overcome this?

Very simply, Saturn is associated with lack of nourishment, so a saturnian face can look very sallow and unhealthy (and make you have a thinner body).
As for your second question… If ketu causes distress, you need to start sinking into and accepting ketu. I’d say that staring into the mirror, and marking the things you like about your face can be a great remedy. Ketu naturally brings fear, because it burns away everything that’s unnecessary. You might feel as though your face repels people. Accept that it may repel people, and be happy that your face protects you. This isn’t at all to say the ketu face is ugly, because people are VERY attracted to it, too. It’s just intense.
im a little confused…. how isnt rahu destruction (insatiable appetite) and ketu creation (the body)
ann
No, because Rahu’s insatiable appetite comes from lack of being able to digest what it eats. Rahu eats, and whatever it eats just leaves, undigested, there’s no destruction. Ketu, on the other hand, can digest things, so it absorbs the necessary nutrients, and then lets go of the waste, destroying it completely.
what is more fickle: moon or rahu

They are two very different energies, entirely, but it is Moon that is more fickle, and changing. Rahu is complicated, because it’s an illusion, but it is also obsession. Rahu’s gaze does not change. It is just that Rahu is inept. It doesn’t know how to sustain its obsession in it’s life. But, the obsession doesn’t leave.
Hey Jhambs, would you consider Ardra rising opposition Mula moon to be that eclipse energy you mentioned?
looptyloo
No. Eclipse energy is when either Rahu or Ketu is in the same sign as one of the luminaries. No other time. Nakshatras, rulerships, etc does not count. It is strictly about rahu or ketu being in the same sign as sun or moon. If Rahu or Ketu are in the same sign as both the sun and the moon, that’s when eclipses happen. I do not consider anything else eclipse energy.
A question from the comments of a post
Hi Shrili! Could you make a list of the moon remedies that you do? Top recommendations? If possible, I would love a detailed breakdown that analyzes said remedies according to their purpose (e.g., beauty-oriented vs. those more targeted toward mental peace and improving the significations of the house where moon sits) and effects (both intentional and unintentional, like what you said about face glow and weight gain). I think your approach to astrology/spirituality lends itself really well to this stuff and would love to hear your thoughts!

Hello! A list of good moon remedies would be
- put a bit of milk in a bucket and use that to bathe
- put ghee in your navel every night
- take evening primrose oil supplements
- Sit down and talk to your mother every monday
- forward bending yoga sequence
- chant moon mantras (additionally, you can chant for deities associated with the moon, such as Shiva or Parvati)
- Listen to Moon Subliminals. I sell subliminals for all the planets on my ko-fi!
The only one that I really do here as deliberate remedy is listening to subliminals. I do the rest now and then, but not as remedies or rituals. The reason I listen to subliminals over anything else, is because, I just like doing that, and it’s easiest for me. I will say, I don’t think it’s so easy to work on the specifics. These are all rituals that exist, and I think, one of the best things to do with rituals is to make your own, by figuring out the associations. The most important thing with rituals is the intent, rather than the act itself.
I actually do sell a pdf for how to create your own rituals, and I feel that it will especially help with creation of remedies, if that is something you are interested in.
I would also say that the absolute best thing to do with remedies is to work on your own personality. The thing with astrological remedies is that they work as a sort of energetic vibration change that makes you change personality wise, but if you can work directly on your personality, you should.
