The 12th house and the actual meaning of शैय्या सुख .

 

They say 12th lord is about bed pleasures, yes these bed pleasures are meant to be interpreted for sleep only,12th is the place of incapacitation and it always takes away something before it gives something, for example in sleep it takes away your Chetna /action, in bondage it takes away your freedom, in hospital it takes away your money and health, in a mental asylum, it takes away your freedom and exposure to the world, in Moksha, it takes away your life, now its for you to decide its Yogi, Rogi or Bhogi. Note- 12th house is also a virtual window to other realms, here your unrealized desires are sometimes fulfilled virtually in dreams. The exact word as per classic texts is शैय्या सुख - it should mean the pleasure of having the bed for sleep there is no sexual overture in it. For example -- उदाहरण: भीष्म पितामह शर शैय्या पर लेटे हुए भी पांडवों को आशीर्वाद देते रहे

The astrological thought process on exaltation of planets.

 

The sun exalts in the Aries the first house of natural zodiac, it represents the soul on the one side it is flanked by a moksha ( self-realization ) representing house the 12^th, where Venus exalts because it rules over the senses and enjoyments to be derived therein at the same time it symbolizes moksha through the control of the senses. On the other, the side is planet moon the planet of expression of thoughts and emotions the family ties it takes root in an earthly sign so the soul is now tied to family and relations. Moon represents the life force required to sustain and that’s the water so it nurtures and creates the nature and can be called Prakriti or nature. In the second Kendra is where Jupiter imparts wisdom and symbolizes learning and the wisdom we derive from the subconscious expression of the moon the mind, Jupiter in the house representing the mind tries to keep us righteous by  providing us a code of conduct and dharma to rely  on in rally tough times, in 4^th it  tries to bring our actions as represented by mars in 10^th and Saturn in 10^th from 10^th  therein, doing so it tries to clear obstructions in souls movement towards realization or moksha the ultimate aim. Therefore, Jupiter is rightfully said to be the advisor the minister for the king the soul for it’s the code of conduct as emphasized by wisdom/learning/dharma. Mercury represents the intellect and is a part of the mind or it represents the use of brain faculty to discriminate, compete and achieve using your intellect. In other words Mercury the intellect can be called the child of the mind as it represents the intellect part of it while Jupiter represents the higher  learning and wisdom notice these three planets are in third to each other third represents the subconscious  mind  or the stored information or the library of information for the use of wisdom or intellect. From mercury moon is 9^th and symbolizes the father so we can say mercury represents a faculty of intellect or part of the whole that is called mind .Do remember the story about the birth of mercury and the role of Moon the mind. Jupiter represents the subconscious representation of mind and means the wisdom thus acquired while mercury symbolizes the use of wisdom for the intellect. Venus in 12 represents the bhoga or indulgence  for the senses the placement of mercury opposite to it means to stop indulgence at a certain level by relying on intellect and reasoning, while Saturn in 8^th from the exaltation place signifies trying to control the senses or trying to keep the two parts of scale evenly balanced and that is the outcome of thoughts and actions so its  no wonder that Saturn is called Karam karaka  and represents austerities and hardships self-inflicted or otherwise. Saturn in 7^th represents the struggle required to sustain and live, it is in 10^th from 10^th represents the subtle influence of karma bhava as its karma of the karma bhava, so aggressive actions and fightbacks require the deep-set control of Saturn, Saturn strives to keep the balance between thoughts and actions, while the control that Jupiter exerts on Mars is on the basis of judicious use of wisdom is on  mental the control emphasized by Saturn is the actual practical experience. In the physical body, Saturn is the structural support and the 7^th house is the control valve of the body enabling it to retain everything essential and release the waste. Similarly, Saturn is in 8^th from the indulgence of senses representing planet Venus can help let go of the vices thus required for the ultimate goal of self-realization. Mars in the karma bhava represents our survival and struggle for the two factors the needs for self and family the second factor is to stay within the ambit of code of conduct as set by society or dharma. Mars also represents the physical defense system within our body, signifying the response against diseases and pollutants in the shape of viruses and bacteria. In the sign designated to Saturn, therefore, the struggles related to maintaining a stoical as represented by Saturn.

Sign wise Sun in the sign of Mars Aries, the fire element that the soul has to come through the fire for salvation, the influence of mars gives the protection of  aggressive, bold and ever reliant Mars.Moon in sign Taurus and in the element earth and a fixed modality sign gives stability and environment to ever-fluctuating mind, the earth element coupled with the water representing signs makes nature grow and sustain. The significant influence of Venus signifies the reproduction and growth, the moon represents the womb or ureter and fallopian tubes while Venus the ovaries and the reproductive fluids, so the sensory indulgence of Venus coupled with moons, a protective and nurturing nature leads to reproduction.

Jupiter exalts in moons sign, therefore, wisdom is a part of the mind, Jupiter is also the karaka of peace of mind so in fourth it gives peace of mind while imparting wisdom, in cancer the water element and a brahmin sign Jupiter is supposed to be in an element just like the free flow of water is represented by cancer the knowledge and grace of Jupiter in this sign is ever-reliable wisdom and free-flowing.

Mercury Exalts in Virgo  and represents the intellect is an outcome of mind just as a son is an outcome of the father's lineage. Mercury represents the intellect that stems from the mind, in the 6^th of the natural zodiac, it is the wisdom of the first education that one's family and environment gives you.

Sign Virgo Gives The chance attaining siddhis, intellectualism, striving for perfection and psychic consciousness Mercury opposite to a planet that plays on senses and indulgence creates the use intellect and reasoning to defeat the lure of vices based on the senses. It’s the earth sign notice the moon and mercury they exalt in an earth sign, both are fickle and wavering and require stability of element earth, mercury ass a the planet is of air modality it’s the process of breath and body’s signal system and represents neurons the signal points of the body.

Saturn like the airy sign libra is an airy planet and it exalts as it’s the karma of the karma bhava thus the Karam karaka,it represents the balance required for the soul to progress in the light of austerities and hardships of disciplined Saturn. Saturn represents the sense of touch and therefore the carnal impetus too in the sign of Venus it goes in for indulgence but in a limited reproductive role. Saturn, in fact, is 8^th from indulgence seeking Venus’s exaltation point and thus helps in taking control of vices, its practicability stems from discipline, endurance, and experience. Saturn in fact, represents the suppression of ego and helps the soul to progress and evolve.

Mars the Autocrat the, impatient, aggressive warrior is in its element when in a confrontation so in the sign of Saturn under the practical wisdom of Saturn and watchful eye of Jupiter the guru that evolves the wisdom of learning and code of conduct,that is epitomized by dharma,struggles to keep the soul/self and family   in prominence while fending off the challenges put forth by Life and the environment .

Venus exalts in the sign Pisces the very ingress of it being Moksha or salvation from birth and death cycle. The sign earmarks the end just as Aries marks the beginnings, Pisces as sign belongs to Jupiter the Significator of dharma and wisdom, the higher intelligence so the indulgent ways are checked from the exaltation point of Jupiter it’s the 9^th so dharma of the Mind and Guru. The intellect of mercury and the very sexless nature and impact of mercury keeps the indulgence in check and when the Venus becomes dispositor of exalted Saturn just imagine the esoteric upliftment and the support that Saturn can provide to moksha seeking soul.

 

 

 

Astrology of Cataract.

Cataract surgery and astrology.

Astrology of Cataract.

Definition of Cataract (Linganaasha)
In simple terms, cataract or linganaasha is the cloudiness of the lens of the eye. The eye lens is an internal elastic part of the eye which is the most vital component for the reception of normal vision. It is perfectly transparent to allow the light rays to pass through it. But as the age of a person advances, the eye lens may lose its transparency and become opaque. This condition is called as cataract.
Causes of Cataract (Linganaasha)
According to Ayurveda, linganaasha is a vata dosha disorder. Vata dosha is related with the air element. Hence, an exacerbation in the vata dosha will lead to drying up. When the vata dosha in the body is vitiated, the eye lens loses its moisture and suppleness. Due to this, the eye lens becomes opaque, leading to a cataract. The various clinical causes for the development of cataract are as follows:- Advancing age – The most common cause of all cataracts is advancing age. As the age of the person advances, the eye lens becomes opaque and cloudy. Also, with growing age, there is a change in the proportions of the proteins in the eye lens. This leads to senile cataracts. Physical damage to the eye – Sometimes foreign bodies entering the eye can cause too much damage to the eye lens capsule. This can cause a type of cataract called as traumatic cataract. This cataract is seen mostly in people whose occupation may entail hazards to the eyes, such as welders and people working in glass furnaces. Other diseases – Some diseases like diabetes mellitus can cause cataracts in the long run. People with emphysema and asthma can also develop cataract. However this cataract is due to the prolonged steroid medication that these people have to use, and not the disease itself. Congenital cataracts – If the mother had German measles during pregnancy, then there is a chance that the baby born will have cataract at birth. Medications for the eye – Several medicines for the eye, in the form of eye drops especially, can cause cataracts in the eye in the long run. Smoking – Smoking really does cloud the eyes, as the common proverb goes. Too much smoking can lead to opacity of the eye lens, causing cataract.

Shani and Rahu

Shani  and Rahu ,Rahu/Shani explained .Saturn VS Rahu .

Shani and Rahu Explained--Saturn is the planet of discipline, responsibility, toil, and obstruction. Rahu is the shadow planet of desire, ambition, and questing. Your experience of Saturn is amplified with a focus on achievement by creative means, if necessary. Ketu has similar qualities to Rahu, but can take on a more spiritual dimension, while Rahu engages in the outer world primarily.
Rahu can see through the plan, it has intuitive and analytical qualities of deriving the outcome of most of the carefully set up plans and features , it has stealth-like qualities and likes to remain unnoticed and on low profile but it’s an intelligent spy that is aware of his right and uses his ability of disguise and illusion to hilt to achieve its end. Contrary to popular belief while on the quest it's even immune to hypnotic beauty of Mohini (the celestial maiden form of Lord Vishnu).But its sense of triumph was short lived as it had to pay the price of few drops of elixir with a body severed into two, therefore, the fruits it provides for also have a short life.

Rahu is instrumental in strengthening one's power and converting even an enemy into a friend. In Buddhism, Rahu is one of the krodhadevatas (lit: Anger divinities. i.e., a divinity having the attributes of anger and the like).

The astrological text Lal Kitab makes an interesting point that if Jupiter and Venus are conjunct in a chart, they can together be treated as Rahu. This relates to the fact that Rahu acts as a bridge between Jupiter, the preceptor of the gods, and Venus, the preceptor of the demons.If Rahu is deception, stealth, intelligence, intuition, Shani is righteous, judgmental, slow cold and, unforgiving. While Rahu personifies everything hidden, Shani delves into what is revealed the character or persona. While Rahu is an urge a desire to seek its right, Saturn is for looking inwards and renouncing. Saturn was born out of a shadow, while Rahu is shadow itself.

Now the question is Shani vat Rahu.- There is a Sanskrit saying, “Rahu vat Shani, Ketu vat Mangal.” Rahu acts like Saturn and Ketu act like Mars. The nodes also take on the flavor of planets influencing them or in whose nakshatra (constellation) they occupy.

How can a planet intelligent enough to sense the deception of devas in partaking elixir remain under the cold and judgmental Shani. In laal kitaab Rahu is taken as an agent of Saturn. An agent who is aware of his rights and can use the guise of deception, stealth even in servitude and with imminent dangers, that is why Rahu is associated with occupation and things fraught with danger, poisons, and gases.Rahu is an odd genius an outcast feared for his insights, analysis and an urge for supremacy, immortality, and power, so it urges, triggers and incites the individual desires to fight for the moment of glory however short-lived it may be. Shani, on the other hand, was responsible of the sun going into eclipse the moment it set its eyes on Sun, the aspects of Shani are in fact are phoenix-like it burns the emotional and physical garbage around the soul to arise out the ashes just like Phoenix and soar to new heights. Rahu, on the other hand, is your vaam panthi friend working out on all potent mantras in cremation grounds when the entire world is asleep and unaware, but the moon in the night is the first witness followed by the first lustrous ray of the Sun. With the Light of Sun the awareness creeps in and slowly and gradually the news is a headline.

Rahu has been attributed to be like Shani because of its an urge, a desire for supremacy mostly denied by supreme forces thereby often leading to frustrations, depressions and even the suicidal tendencies. Rahu is a focused hunter on the hunt for supremacy and almost nothing can deviate it from its near-fatal love to hunt for supremacy and immortality.

Conclusion- Though at times its like Saturn but then Rahu has the multidimensional persona of its own it’s a master of disguise and can think and act like the planets it associates with, the lord of zodiac sign housing Rahu, the aspecting planets and like the Nakshatra lord of nakshatra housing Rahu. With options available the master of guise and deception is like your 007 flick hero with the multitude of gadgets and tools to mesmerize and terrify the enemies to submission.

Rahu and Saturn Similarities and differences

Rahu and Saturn
Rahu  and Shani







Rahu and Saturn-The two planets have similarities and differences from each other Rahu operates on mental plane Saturn on physical, one exposes other detaches, one tests other manifests, one expands other consolidates. Rahu is intuitive and can work on desires with abject focus while Saturn is about austerities and physical labor. Rahu is thought Saturn is the result of it while Mars is the action. Astrologers have the habit of making Rahu and Saturn the dumping ground of entire horoscope. Rahu as the blessing of fortune and God can give plenty Saturn is the planet that scythes away the bottom of such riches if not used judiciously. Rahu is intellect and focus Saturn is the reasoning and logic based on hard facts.
