Vedic Astrology Lesson VIII

By: newagephilosopher

That which is luminous is Jyothih and Jyotish is the science
of the luminaries. It is defined as a lamp in darkness. The

astrologer was called by the Vedists as a Daivajna, a
diviner or a prophet. So heavenly a title did those
excellent people bestow upon that heart ravishing knowledge.

In Sidereal Astrology a planet means any celestial body with
attraction.( From the Greek " planeta " meaning wanderer &
the SanskritGraha meaning any celestial body which attracts
The 2 luminaries - the Sun & the Moon - & the two
mathematical points - the points of intersection of the
orbits of the Earth & the Moon -( The North and South Nodes
) are included along with the five major planets.)

Here we will deal with the effects of Venus, the planet of
Love in the 12 houses which are the 12 dimensions of Life,
life being multi-dimensional.

The role of Venus in Horoscopy

Although defined by astronomers as a Hell in the Heavens due
to its high temperature, Venus is considered to be a benign
planet in Astrology.

planet of Love.

it is this planet which is the significator of mundane love
and all the pleasures of worldly life.

Correspondence between Astrology, Gemology & Numerology

The celebrated Gemologist Richard S Brown (
http://www.p-g-a.org/) writes in his book "Ancient Astral
Gemstones & Talismans" that the nine colours - the seven
primary colours of the spectrum & infra-red and ultra-violet
- correspond to the Nine revolving heavens and the Nine
Primary Gems.

" The gemological texts of India explain that white light is
actually composed of seven primary colours and two secondary
colours blended together. The seven colors are red, orange,
yellow, green, blue,indigo and violet: and the other two
colors are utra-violet and infra-red. The seven primary
colors become visible in the form of a rainbow whereven
light is defracted through a prism or rain drops but the two
secondary colors always remain invisible.

These nine colors are understood to be the cosmic matrix and
the very essence of the nine planets; it is through these
colors that the planets radiate their energy and influence.
When the visible colored light waves are measured, infra-red
exhibits the longest wave length and ultra violet the
shortest. It is important to note that the wave length of
colored light emanating from the nine planets is believed to
match those radiating from each planet's corresponding
gemstone(s). For example, the wavelength of light emanating
from the Sun is identical to that exhibited by a ruby - both
are red.

Among all the elements in nature, gemstones constitute the
most condensed form of concentrated color. Gems provide an
inexhaustible source of cosmic color rays. " ( Richard S
Brown " Ancient Astral Gemstones and Talismans" -
http://www.agt-gems.com/ ).

Association ( http://www.p-g-a.org/ ) has been formed with

Astrology, Prakriti Therapy ( Naturopathy ) & Holistic
Medicine

Naturopathy exists as one of the branches of Holistic
Medicine ( Ayurveda ). Holistic Medicine has 2 aspects - The
Therapeutic ( Athura Vritta ) & the Prophylactic ( Swastha
Vritta ). Naturopathy is the Prophylactic or the Preventive
System. It is based on the principle " Natura Sanat " (
Nature is the Healer and Doctor). As the human body is
composed of the five elements ( Earth, air, water, fire and
ether ) so the Five Doctors are the Elemental Five! Fasting
is the best medicine ( even diseases like ulcer can be cured
by fasting ) and this is known as Ether Therapy (
Akashopasana). Sun bathing is Fire Therapy ( Tejopasana).
Using Water as a therapeutic element is Water Therapy (
Jalopasana).Letting the body get fresh unpolluted air is Air
Therapy ( Vayu Upasana) and eating pure fruits and
vegetables is Earth Therapy ( Prithvi Upasana ) Naturopathy
means returning to Nature and living in rhythm with Nature,
who is infinite in her wisdom! Even Allopathic scholars have
admitted " Medicus curata, natura Sanat"( The physician only
treats but it is Nature that heals )! The main cause of all
disease is overeating and man is advised to eat only once in
a day and fast once in a week !

The five major planets correspond to the Elemental Five thus

Jupiter Ether Mars Fire Saturn Air Mercury Earth
Venus Water

No wonder in the Pythagorean system, the number five was
given such tremendous importance!

Medical astrologers prescribe Ether Therapy if Jupiter is
weak and Fire Therapy if Mars is weak etc. By means of the
Great Art, health can be restored in the patient !

Astrology & Yoga.

Ordinary man lives in three states of Consciousness -
waking, dreaming and dreamless sleep. There is a higher
state of Consciousness - Transcendental Consciousness -
which can be accessed via Meditation. In his Phd Thesis Dr
Robert Keith Wallace has proved the existence of the Fourth
State of Consciousness ( Dr Keith Wallace Phd Thesis " The
Physiological effects of Transcendental Meditation - a
Proposed Fourth Major State of Consciousness", the
University of California and Los Angeles, 1975 ). The Fourth
State ( Tureeya in Sanskrit ) is accessible to those who
follow the path of Yoga. But to gain T C and get established
in that state of Consciousness is not very easy. The
negative elements in man - our inner enemies - are the
impediments. The Wisdom of the Heavens, by analysing the
negative traits in a horoscope can point out the method by
which the Negative Aspect of man can be tamed so that he
becomes eligible for higher states of Consciousness.

The Culmination of Yoga - Universal Love

Even though Union via Wisdom ( Jnana Yoga ) is great, Union
via Love ( Bhakthi Yoga ) is the Redeeming Grace ! The
salvation of the world is in Love & through Love. The heart
has its own reasons which the head need not know ! Love is
the Saviour! Universal Love is the Redeemer ! Love Divine
alone can confer Bliss !

Tempting God's light down to the ignorant race

His Love to heal the sorrow in men's hearts

His Bliss to heal the unhappiness of this world!
