Shukra the morning Star

 

 

Venus the bright star at morning or evening is called in the Vedas Shukra and translates as the bright shining luminous one.

It has as well the meaning to the seed, the semen and reproductive fluid and its connection to the affairs of love and intimacy.

Venus in Jyotish is related as well to the art of teaching, sacred knowledge, Tantra and Vastu, the interior arrangement of living space. Shukra is as well a guide for the Asuras and temptations of indulgence, ignorance and waste, which brings misery to people.

The bright morning star has the power of reproduction, regeneration and transformation, being in control of the senses which are divine capabilities of creative manifestations.

Prana and its force of life is the creative act of Gods love and Venus and her association to relationships operates through the senses with adoration and worshipping.

Similar as to the Greek Goddess Aphrodite, when she is rising out of the ocean, to provide abundance in love, with attainments and comforts to all human beings.

Venus or Shukra has her domain as well with Maya the world of illusion, where most people are lost in, by chasing the golden Goose or biting the hand that feeds them, polluting the world and the self.

The mundane level of wealth and its happiness is her favorable attainment to provide the ongoing theater of the divine comedy.

Not feeling loved and seeking constant attention or being afraid to be alone is a poor Venus placements in the astrological birth chart that has is consequences with choices one makes. The indulgence in intimacy and its public affairs are the troubled stories that are the display of the poor relations to the true feminine qualities.

Whereas the excellent positions of Venus become famous with its constant creative display of profound qualities and talents.

Budha perception

The perception of Budha and its power is related to the early light of the morning, just before sunrise as it is considered as the twilight of true intellect or the one of enlightenment. 

All monks or anyone with a spiritual routine knows that quality of devotional service by the awakening One and its exchange of natural forces.

In Jyotish or Vedic Astrology the planet Mercury, respected in the western terms as the messenger of God is known as Budha.

Hermes was known in Egyptian and Greek philosophies and played the same role to be the messenger of divine knowledge.

Mercury the swift planet closes to the Sun is known for its power of intelligence, reasoning and discrimination; he has the power to measure the universe and provides the intellect to regulate the affairs by communication in words, act and script. 

Mercury is the indwelling capability of philosophy, poetic thoughts and therefore able to initiate in other forms like Cupid, the essence of Gods love extend to others with compassion and through prayers and even healing.

That power that grants discernment, detachment and clarity to the awaken one with having access to all humans and creatures, just by observation and listening.

The cosmic intelligence and ones position of Mercury in the birth chart play a crucial role in ones education, knowledge and manipulative activities that will work at times and at other times it will shoot right back into the heart of the individual.

Poorly placed Mercury is recognized when too much talk takes place, with Politician, Comedians or Salesperson.

Procrastinations and sweet therapies to talk things out are over emphasized communication, when actions speak louder then words. 

Mercury is retrograding 3 or 4 times in a year as he is orbiting the Sun in only 88 days close to the cosmic intelligence of truth.

The internal intelligence of the soul and its fire is the divine light from within that needs gentle kindling and maintaining through the prayers and contentment to use the emotional intellect to unfold the secrets of nature, which is revealed by the arrow in the heart to compromise.  

The rising Sun and its divine spirit will rise with the heart of the morning to break away from the dark of not knowing.

Mercury is the face of truth that brings us closer in the mind to clear all doubt, for truth stands above all sin, while facts are only shadows.

Life of truth is eternal and the soul of truth is God.

The power of truth will endure for it holds to the last.

Celestial deities

 

The deity of energizing transformation and enlivener that sets all things into motion through photosynthesis and the intelligence of electromagnetic gravity, that directs comic forces to all living things is of course the Sun that has its force of will towards growth and evolution. From the antiquity of the Vedas the Sun has many names, as Aditya meaning primal intelligence, or Bhaskara the maker of light and Mitra is the rising Sun, Indra is the Sun at noon and Varuna is the setting Sun. Savitar is the name for the consciousness of intelligence that arises with the development of the inner Sun.

The Sun ultimately is symbolizing Atman or the inner higher self that represent the highest conception of truth in formless state as the micro cosmos creates its own devotional Sun with confidence.

All other planets and its source of light energy and gravity are forms of the Sun with its waxing and waning qualities like the Moon and in which position of constellation they are. 

The reflected sunlight on the Moon has its name as well; it is called Chandra and means the delight of light for its rhythmic changing light of beauty and passion. The Moon has always been used as calendar for its natural circle of 28 days and 13 returns that equals 364 days without a leap-year. Chandra and its qualities on all water elements are related to the emotional, intuitive feelings capacity and its creative force of foresight.

Apas is the Goddess of water who influences the earthly water, the biological waters and the water of transcendent consciousness.

The feeling of love from far away places and longings for home, which is also, called Soma the nectar of nourishment that feeds all faith and belief. Whereas Agni the direct fire, eats that compassion away with its energetic and restless motions.

Agni and Soma are identified as basic male and female energies and prime duality in the deities of the cosmic law.

The dance with the rhythm of nature is the dance of evolution and change that encloses and departs life like the ebb and flow in the cosmic ocean. Soma the Moon male quality has 27 wives to inspire the feminine qualities in the Moon to provide many deities and qualities like fertilities, creativity, clairvoyance, dreams and of course the negative qualities of worries, fears, anxieties and quarrelsome characters. On the 28^th day at new Moon and the Moon is not visible the masculine energy rested.

When the heart is touched by the beloved, it becomes like an ocean and its waters that reach every shore touching the sky.

There is no greater phenomenon than the deities of love and love itself.

The Intimacy of Chaos

 

Chaos is the true conductor of life in subtle philosophical terms, as in the seeming chaotic display of cosmic observations, in the eye of the storm, the heat in the raging fire, in the unstoppable tsunami, in the waste of war, in the heartbreak of circumstance, or even when falling in love, when all values are changing.

All trust, hope and faith are melting into pure acceptance and dissolve into the intimacy of the divine hand that holds the reigns of true power.

The intimacy of Chaos is a concept when one needs to embrace the unpredictable aspects of life that lead to deeper profound realizations.

The potential of courage in creative innovative steps one needs to face and embrace the unpredictable situation.

Under closer look, every moment is chaotic and creative where one is compelled to improvise and explore once creative potential.

Chaos is the intimate muse that reaches to the depth of unconsciousness where natural innovation and its inheritance will display its creative process.  The discomfort not being in control and its unpredictability are the necessary flow of solution. The psychological effect of pushing each others bottoms in relationships are the bonding agent to reflect the intimacy of secrets, where conflicts can turn into wise boundaries.

Chaotic relationships are a complex system out of behavior that tends to organize the self in refined actions and virtues.

The intimacy of chaos is the dynamic process with subtle connections that fills each others needs and attractions.

There is a sacred chaos called the path of spirituality, or camino cosmos which is an essential part of once journey towards the liberations of ones true search and growth and transformation that leads to a deeper connection, being closer to the divine order or God.

At the heart of conflict in the self is the intimate relationship with God, when fear takes over for not feeling being loved and saved.

One starts to operate in a self-protection mode, in which defensiveness overshadows collaboration and trust in the divine, forgetting that we are a part of Gods creation and force of life.

The ego attitude and bridge of connection deactivates the trust and faith where one needs to prioritize compassion over fears and its defenses. Behind blinded worries, there is a cry for help and a desire for reassurance beyond the pain of loss.

Chaos is the gentle beginning to the realization that the life we are living is not fulfilling anymore.

Chaos causes to reevaluate what is important and with the refined observation there are signs of what is missing.

Chaos is the intimate evolution inside all of us and becomes sacred when it pushes one to the quest for spiritual conduction.

The poetic and philosophical sense of Astrology and its interpretation has the understanding of the chaotic tree of life and its fruits that can be harvest in time.

Life is not only an opportunity to accomplish one’s desire, but far more the fulfilling for the deepest yearning of the soul.

That nobility of character is as inborn of a quality in the individuality like the fragrance of a flower.

in the intimacy of chaos is the truth and its light that illuminates through everything and in this light all things become clear and its true nature manifest itself regardless in time to view.

 

The unborn innocence

 

 

Earth is like an incubator and the planets are the cosmic power of the divine to maintain life in its innocent state.

The circumferences of Planets therefore are the force of time that governs all things. 

The manifestation of God in all things work with the planets in time in many ways and the individual circumstance as every soul in spirit exists as transcendent energy that is never lost.

The planets and timekeeper are the integral part of the expressions and character in need of development.

It is the love schooling of preparations through which karma and dharma is maintained.

The Vedic text of antiquity speaks about the many expressions of incarnations and the multitudes, in the unborn Supreme Self of God.

To divert never lost desires into energies and grant karma or dharma they transform into the cosmic hour of planets and creating the law of action, for whatever one does, it comes back to the source.

Those time forces that stretch over millions of years to milliseconds and reduce their weak energies to malicious entities and in strength to divine qualities to uphold dharma.

Jesus spoke; I am not of this world and means that one must not follow the values of this world that seeks to control behavior, while the kingdom of God seeks to transform lives from the inside out.

The divine energies of the planets and stars that lead the three wise Men to Christ birthplace are of the manifestations of the Avatar and its refined astrological forces. The divine energy of God is represented with the planets, while humans in their living spirit representing the karmic aspect of love.

As people with karmic influence we are children of planetary influence, bestowed at birth and maintain in that incubation as living force. At death the spiritual influence and its accumulated desire (energy) is transmuted into the planetary spheres of time, in which one mostly is connected with, as the soul has evolved into.

The advanced soul will enter into realms of divine embodiment and does not need any reincarnations anymore and only comes back to earth by choice to create out of this world manifestation.

For every thing there is a time; so there comes a time for the unfoldment of the soul; but the period of that development depends upon the willingness and determination in the progress one makes through life.

Thanks to the exile from the Garden of Eden on earth, if we would have not been expelled, we would not have the opportunity to discover the depths of life.

It is to regard every obstacle on once path as an incentive to a success.

The state of brilliance and content are the lights of joy, revealed at any time in the celestial order and is the love-stream that springs from one’s soul and anyone who allows that stream to flow in all conditions of life will be the reflection of happiness that belongs to him.

Gemstone transmitter

 

Cosmic frequencies from planetary influence have in Gemstones the highest energy and very valued in astrological therapies.

Gems posses the greatest power of any substance found on earth to transmit planetary energies and to promote positive qualities which refined themselves over ions of years in the earth. The recommendations from the Jyotish consultant which Gem to wear and how, is traditional very much enrooted in good consultations.

The basic ideas of balancing energies that are over bearing or not existence are the art of understanding Astrology. 

The astral energies which are the earth as well are a part of our existence from the mineral world from which all life arises.

Gems and its light reflections are fragments of planetary energies and light that is the touchable link to the cosmic rays and its refining healing properties. Gems are the concentrated light energy in the mineral kingdom. The working of Gems in the etheric realm and the physical plane make it possible to balance once aura and method of thinking. The wearing of specific gemstones will have the effect to stabilize the planetary imbalance into positive enhancement.

This alternative healing and mind altering therapy is influencing once emotional and physical state, like enhancing once creativity, or promoting love and establishing stability.

Gemstones are mostly worn as jewelry but should be placed at home or near sleeping places to promote its qualities as cosmic filters and

   amplifier to pure positive frequencies.

It is not a replacement for conventional medical treatment as it has a lot to do of ones beliefs and experiences with astral connections.

The important understanding is here that the astrological effects need to be recognized with refined observations, in change of dreams or reactions to circumstances, as there is much of speculative talk and theories freely available. 

The complexity and many different perspectives on Gemstone therapies need to be approached with an Astrological consultant, and then timing plays as well a crucial role in applying Gemstones, as transits or dashas of Planets are very important.

Each planet has its own quality and Gemstone reference, as a Ruby stone is associated with the Sun, this gemstone to boost vitality, self-confidence, and leadership qualities. For the Moon qualities to provide emotional stability or to improve intuition a genuine Pearl or a Moonstone is suitable.

Mars is related to Red Coral to boost health; Bloodstone and Carnelian are for physical healing properties, helping with circulation and energy levels and enhancing the immune system.

Venus and its ability of creative thinking likes Citrine and Amethyst to sharpen once concentration and of course the feminine best friend the diamond are the best friends forever, and are used to improve financial situations.

The blue Sapphire is connected to Saturn and help to overcome critical challenges and providing discipline and patience.

Jupiter and its compassionate frequencies likes Garnet, Sapphire or Yellow Topaz to promote emotional healing, reduce stress, and increase feelings of love and compassion, providing grounding and stability for someone feeling emotionally unsettled.

Gem therapy helps to align with the natural frequency of the astral body, facilitating transformation in all areas of your life.

Whether one is seeking success, emotional healing, or spiritual growth, gemstones can be powerful allies on the way.

 

Expanding the heart to the width of the sky, so that the whole cosmos is reflected in the soul is the abode of the Beloved.

Planets and Aroma therapy

 

Every medicinal plant or herb with its aroma has the same properties that influence its values by transmitting its Aroma as subtler energy.

The sense of smell intermediates with profound qualities in strength altering its influence. As every plant or herb has its planetary signification one should consider once planetary constitution and burn incense or oils as balancing effect.

A weak Sun with issues of confidence or issues with authorities, or low vital energies should burn on a regular base aromas like ginger, cinnamon, sage or camphor.

When the Moon is afflicted with over emphasized emotions and dramatic display or fears and worries in general, cooling aromas like Jasmine, Lotus, Gardenia or Sandalwood is the solution.

For increasing the energy of Mars when being lacy, avoiding conflicts, or not able to finish the job halfway or another, it is advised to use stimulating fragrances like Musk, Pepper, woody flavors or patchouli to enhance some magnetic presence.

Weak Mercury that struggles to speak the truth, or cannot describe or understand the difference of once owns intention and its meaning. Or the struggle to interrupt others conversations need to be supported with mind clearing aromas like Basil, Mint or wintergreen.

For increasing the quality of a weak Jupiter when aimless forward and backward patterns are obvious or restless pondering never finds trust in the universe. The strengthening aromas of Frankincense, Lotus or Saffron will evoke feelings of philosophical nature.

To strengthen a weak Venus with issues of trust and intimacy, or any creativity in relationships by just wanting to be entertained should consider sweet fragrances like Rosewater, Flower flavors or frangipani.

Saturn’s weaknesses with having no discipline, long term plans or being grateful and humble can be supported with flavors of Myrrh, Frankincense or Cedar and Oak moss that appeal to the Saturnian’s qualities which helps improving the wickedness.

People like to blame the world and its circumstances, which is just simple ignorance, to face the reality that the world is a individual concept and need to be faced in that direction, any excuse is a clear avoidance not to look at the real issue.

The truth cannot be hidden for it reveals itself with once actions and character.

Either one must pass away from all things that is of interest to the mind in this life, or else they will pass away, then the nature of this life is change.

Jupiter’s transit into Gemini

 

At May 15^th Jupiter the planet of protection and expansion is moving into Gemini. Jupiter is still in the lunar mansion of Mrigasira that is starts in Taurus and extends itself into Gemini with Jupiter until middle of June.

The searching star of Mrigasira has its refined qualities where spiritual intelligence and research abilities are present. 

The urge of spiritual liberation is here highlighted as Soma the Moon God who imparts the divine nectar of bliss and enlightenment providing fulfillment for the advanced soul.

This lunar mansion is known for its deities of sensitive and perceptive qualities, the negative qualities here come from a sensual and seductive nature. The Vedas wrote that of the mind of the Moon gave Mercury its intellect and scholar qualities. Or one can say that the analytical mind of Mercury is created out of the perceptual feeling qualities of the water memory by the Moon. The shadow side of Mrigasira is the indulgence in pleasures and seeking comfort to seek for a better life.

 Jupiter in this Nakshatra and his energies are mostly wasted with more ideals while chasing the

golden Goose. Providing plenty of procrastinations and fickle qualities, that creates doubt in others to believe once so convincing story.

Jupiter’s transit into Gemini at the 15th of May changes the quality into a more different approach where knowledge and learning becomes the emphasis. It becomes more to power when Jupiter moves into Ardra at June 15^th, where the perception of clarity becomes the urge of expansion.

Ardra is related to the tears of sorrow which come after the storm, thinking one is undefeatable. Intelligence and the ego is a double-edged sword that can be very destructive in retrospect of considerations.

The lunar mansion of Ardra and its power deity is related to focus on greater effort, which is related to work with the divine order and not just the ego and its abuse of power and authority with a complaining attitude, just for being ungrateful. Jupiter the planet of liberation bestows the humble pleasures of gratitude and appreciation that heal many wounds and relations.

Jupiter’s characteristic related to Ganesha that ask with its big ears to listen to the whispers of the heart that moves the soul to ecstasy. Those qualities and waves of joy from the heart sustain the living world to move with the pleasures of bliss that is received by the

shores of the divine order.

When the human heart becomes conscious of the blessings of true life, it becomes like the sea that extends its waves to all souls by rising above the barriers of the material world and ennobling real values.  

Jupiter in Gemini throws an aspect into Sagittarius and its own sign where righteousness need to be exercised, which is not for the self or a particular religion, it is the righteousness about humanity or one is not of God.

Infused righteousness has nothing to do with faith and is only vain hope.

Righteousness is in the judgment of generosity.

Arudha Lagna

 

In Vedic astrology, Arudha Lagna means once tied up attained rising sign and represents how others perceive the self, reflecting once public image based on once actions and the image of projection.

While the main Lagna or natural ascendant reflects once true personality, Arudha Lagna focuses on the image one present to the world, which is mostly different from the image one has of the self.

 It essentially explores how once actions and attributes manifest in the eyes of others and what the world will offer to sustain the self.

Arudha Lagna reveals the reputation one has created and its karmic influence seen as a reflection of ones past actions and how they impact the current image. Arudha Lagna is associated with wealth, success, and fame, impacting the career and once social standing.

In essence, Arudha Lagna is a powerful tool in Jyotish for understanding how once actions and personality manifest in the eyes of others, and how this perceived image influences once life's path and opportunities in the world and society.

The beauty of Jyotish lies in the ability to independently assess different aspects of human existence and once worldly image and status evolve on the influences affecting the Arudha Lagna.

The Moon represents society and one needs a social identity to exist as an independent person in society and need to look at from the Arudha Lagna and its social identity or image of a person. Aspects of planets good or bad, peaceful or aggressive, intelligent or introvert are all social categorizations to describe a person. 

When one renounces society and becomes a Monk or Seer, one gives up self-identity and once worldly belongings, relationships, status, and even name. Arudha Lagna is perception of the third dimension once perception is the reality and embodies the greatest truths about the self, understanding that one is not always what it seems.

Mental projections are more often delusion, than factual reality, as ones perceptions rarely meet with the reality of the material world. But this reality that exists in our heads is often more influential in our behavior than the material world itself. The perception, the perceived aspect of the self, is very influential with ones interaction with reality.

How wonderful it is to feel, that if no one in the world understands the self, still the divine order and its cue to individuality and soul, understood by God.

Medicine Plants

 

South Africa has over 3oooo species of plants in its biodiversity and about 3ooo of them get used as medicinal plants and about 350 of them get used in daily life of many indigenous people.

Those plants were once a primary source of medicine to provide humanity with remedies and are still used in 50% of all drugs as clinical pharmacy throughout the world.

Well know plants in clinical use are quinine, morphine, codeine, aspirin, atropine, reserpine and cocaine, other plant medicine derive from taxol or vincrine that have been developed.

South Africa’s contributions to the world are famous Cape Aloes, Buchu and Devils claw, which are growing wildly and are used in traditional medicine and often seen on the streets, sold by Rastaman or Sangomas.

The philosophy behind those plants is that they are coming from the future to help today for tomorrow and not from the past.

I would like to introduce the most common once with the benefits and medicinal properties.

 

Deadly Nightshade

When narcotic’s is used for a long time, it becomes a habit-forming, causing mental or physical dependence. Heroin binds to receptors in the brain and produces feelings of euphoria. Its structure mimics that of a natural neurotransmitter and taps into the brain’s communication system, interfering with the nerve cells that send, receive, and process information.

Yew tree 

Traditional healers use the bark, branch tips, and needles to make medicine. Yew tree is used for treating diphtheria, tapeworms, swollen tonsils, epilepsy, muscle and joint pain or rheumatism, urinary tract conditions, and liver issues. For females it is used for starting menstruation and causing abortions. The berry flesh is used by herbalists to treat a variety of ailments including cystitis, headache and neuralgia. In more recent times scientists have discovered that extracts of yew have anti-cancer properties. Pharmaceutical companies make Taxol, a prescription drug for the treatment of breast and ovarian cancer, from the bark of the yew tree.

Taxol inhibits mitosis in cells, which keeps cancer cells from multiplying. It's now the drug of choice for some breast cancers, ovarian and lung cancer. The Christians called it the tree of life which the Druids held sacred even in pre-Christian times. They no doubt observed the tree’s qualities of longevity and regeneration. Drooping branches of old yew trees can root and form new trunks where they touch the ground. Thus the yew came to symbolizes death and resurrection in Celtic culture and the yew wood is known as the material from which longbows were made, Archers used these hard woods to its devastating effect.

Aloe Vera  

Aloe Vera is a very versatile plant with many uses, including soothing burns and wounds, reducing inflammation, improving skin issues and helps with digestion.

Today the medicinal plant is used as part for symptoms of the gastrointestinal tract: These include not only bloating or abdominal cramps, but also feeling of fullness or nausea.

Astral energies

 

Vedic Astrology to its core is more concerned about the spiritual or astral body then the gross physical body or the psychology of western astrology.

The astral forms and energies are the eternal manifestations of the karmic flow and how it was influenced through desired attention which will shows its fruits in the present life.

The astral body or body of planets in relation reveal the energy of inherit qualities that manifest when taken the first breath and become the astrology of the individuality. The subtleties of the interplay of planets in its strength or weakness are the astral energies or soul status that protects the physical body and the matrix of the mind.

The micro cosmos within are the mirror image of the energy that are the life patterns of the soul.  With the purpose to refine the qualities of once desires and untangle those karmic knots, which are getting in the way.

One can ponder on the idea that an invisible golden thread goes all the way from the heaven through once body and its energies points that represent the faculties of the life force with its crucial reflections of actions called chakras. Any entanglements in those chakras become the problems that are related to the astral body and its equivalent to the energy field of the planets.

Jyotish or Vedic Astrology has a very unique way to examine the chakras and its possibilities of releasing any entanglement.

Prana the breath of God and life force is the inner Sun that provides the flow of energies that travel up and down the spine and circulates around the energy point of the chakras and subtle body, just as we are traveling through the constellation where planets have their strength and weakness. Like the Moon in its waxing and waning state so have the planets their capacities of energies.
