Aṅka Jyotiṣa · the number two
Candraचन्द्र
The number of feeling and care
Two is the number of the pair, of the self and the other, and Candra rules it: the moon that waxes and wanes, that moves the tides and the mind. In the Vedas the moon is born of the mind of the Puruṣa, and two is the number of the heart that listens.

Candra rules Karka. When the sun walks through it, from mid-July to mid-August, the energy of 2 is strongest; every full moon is its own. A 2 personal year asks for patience and partnership: a year to tend what was begun, not to force it.
