Insanity Or Lunacy in Astrology

Loss of mental stability in daily life is termed as lunacy or insanity. A person lives in the three distinct mental levels. Lower self or unconscious level of mind, middle self or conscious level of mind and higher self or superconscious level of mind. In a healthy person these three levels of mind work in a balanced and a synchronizing way. While in a lunatic person the three selves are unbalanced and desynchronized.

In a layman language lunacy or insanity generally means a stage where the attention of the mind is being diverted and unfocused. It is caused by the nervous debility due to mental disturbance and lack of common sense.
