I said that we are affected by the moon and the stars. Another idea that astrology has is that the moon and the stars are affected by us, because influence goes in both directions. Whenever a man like Buddha is born on the Earth, the moon may not realize that it is because of him that storms are not arising on its surface; that because of Buddha the storms have subsided. The moon is affected and the sun also is moved.
When spots occur on the sun and storms arise, diseases spread across the Earth. When a person like Buddha is born on the Earth, a current of peace flows, the pillar of consciousness grows strong, and the deep beauty of meditation moves over the Earth. And, because everything is joined together, this also makes it difficult for a storm to arise on the sun.
