This connection is evident in the large community of Astrology, where people “can decide the condition of the mind of a person from the location of the moon in the horoscope,” explained Krishnananda.
However, there is something that Krishnananda explains that we are not necessarily aware of; a humbling thought to describe our presumably indescribable connection to the stars
“We have a fad and a prejudice of thinking that the individuality of ours is all in all, not knowing the fact that we cannot even exist without the contribution of support from nature outside and the vast atmosphere. Environment is this much; not merely the trees and the waters, and the air that we breathe, but the entire atmosphere touching beyond the very point of the existence of stars. These bodies not only are made up of five elements, of the elements of the different planets, but of the stars themselves. That is why we are so concerned with the operation of the planets through our body, and we always talk of the stars into which a person is born, etc. Such a distant thing called the star and the planet seems to be exerting such an influence on us, that we are cosmically constituted.”
In all, if we are able to rise above our egos, we are better able to understand our relationship with our “mother universe.” The pull we feel from nature and the beliefs that the location of the stars can explain so many things in our lives simply come from the fact that everything in nature is made of and connected by the elements of which we are built.
