Stepwise Analysis of Relationships
Jupiter ↔ Venus (Mutual Aspect)
Jupiter and Venus are in direct aspect to each other.
This creates a strong relationship (saṃbandha) between them.
Jupiter ↔ Moon (Mutual Sign Exchange / Parivartana Yoga)
Jupiter and the Moon exchange signs.
This is considered an even stronger bond than aspect, because each planet occupies the other’s domain.
Moon ↔ Venus (Indirect Relationship via Jupiter)
Since Moon is in sign exchange with Jupiter, and Jupiter is in mutual aspect with Venus:
Moon becomes related to Venus through Jupiter.
This is a mediated relationship (Moon → Jupiter → Venus).
Conceptual Understanding
In Jyotiṣa, relationships are transitive:
If Planet A is strongly related to Planet B, and Planet B is strongly related to Planet C, then Planet A gains a derived relationship with Planet C.
Here, Jupiter acts as the bridge between Venus and the Moon.
Thus, Moon and Venus are indirectly connected, even if they don’t directly aspect or exchange signs.
This chain shows how planetary networks operate like cosmic alliances. Even if two grahas don’t directly interact, their shared link through a third planet creates a subtle influence. In interpretation, this means:
Venusian themes (love, beauty, harmony) will influence the Moon (mind, emotions) through Jupiter’s wisdom.
The Moon’s emotional nature will carry Venusian flavour, mediated by Jupiter’s expansive guidance.
