Good morning ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Machau.
Now we are doing the 15th nakshatra of Swati which falls in Libra, the traditional 7th sign.
Libra is always looking for balance as we know.
And in Swati it is looking most so.
Because remember we are dealing with life lesson of every nakshatra.
In this one we are trying to understand and explore
what these signs mean, what krupijans and buffaloes, water buffaloes mean for Swati.
And how they can help us come to this life lesson.
What is the life lesson of Swati?
Individuality needs solitude for perfection and discover new territory.
Very crucial, we all have individuality in our life.
We all are individual souls.
We come with individual ideas and perspectives.
Everything that is 7th aspect from any planet or point will have this Swati aspect to it right in the middle.
So you got to understand even from that perspective, even though you are not Libran, ascendant or otherwise.
And yet in this one we are trying to explore the instinctual houses 1, 4, 5, 8 and 12.
One being the ascendant, 4 being cancer, 5 being Leo.
In the traditional aspect 8 being the Scorpio sign of transformation, 12 being Pisces, the sign of letting go.
These are the areas of our life in your chart which will dictate and determine the dominant instinct that you have.
First let's take the animalistic aspects. Then we will come to the two times.
First the instincts, pigeons.
Pigeons as we know in cities they always live among humans.
They fly away and they come back to sit only back on the porch next to your window.
First off both are herbivorous animals. Look at that first.
Type of bird and type of animal. She is not the same in every nakshatra as we shall see.
And as we have already seen, pigeons are seed eating birds with instinctual preference for grains.
So it's good for Swati people to engage in more of that diet.
Of course you want to check all the tatvas and everything else.
There are city dwelling and urban adaptations. Pigeons have taken to where humans live.
So they want to be amongst humans, Swati people.
The seventh aspect of any planet or any house is where you are looking towards engaging and finding your individuality.
I am just linking everything else. Nesting and flocking behaviour.
Of course they have nesting and flocking. They develop nests in places where they can find in human accommodation and in human and urban environments.
Roof tops. You can see them sitting everywhere.
So study the aspect of birds like pigeons when you think of individuality.
For me it seems the more I study this, it seems like birds are significators in nakshatata mind.
And animals are more at the body level. It seems like that.
Homing and navigational skills. Of course this is very well known. Pigeons have a homing instinct.
They can return to their home and they have a powerful navigational instinct that allows them to do so.
Vocalization and communication. Pigeons are very soft communicators.
You see they are not very loud with their voice box, so to speak. Yes, we all know this.
So pigeons have a soft vocal attitude.
Therefore when you talk to other people, the seventh aspect from any planet, be soft, be individual.
To begin with, but yet be soft in your communication like the pigeons do.
Buffaloes on the other hand are water buffaloes. They love sitting in the water.
They have a natural instinct to graze on vegetation.
Buffaloes are highly social animals, forming large herds within a strong sense of community.
Libra will need community. Libra is a sign of marketplace. Libra loves to socialize.
Be out there among people. Because remember we are trying to seek balance between inner world and outer world.
Moving from first house to sixth house is all about inner worlds.
Seven thousand worlds you start bridging that gap to go from eighth to twelfth. Yes, so that's what it's about.
Protection and defensive instinct. Buffaloes have a strong instinct to protect their herd, particularly the young.
And we'll move to defending against predators of threats. These are normal animal instincts, even in birds.
We all know this. I'm just recapping this with regard to Libra.
Libra, because it is very individual and your seventh aspect is very individual, where that planet needs to bring their individuality.
Strength and endurance. Buffaloes are known for their strength and endurance, particularly the Cape buffalo, which can be quite aggressive and provoked.
This gives us a hint of Libra again. So Libra wants to be individual, wants to participate in the collective, is quiet like the buffalo, left to themselves.
They are herbivorous creatures. They are very quiet amongst the herd. They love to sit in water. Therefore, Libra's will do very well when they are immersing their bodies, like I said, animal-less bodies,
into a pool of water, go into the swimming pool, go into the seashore, lake, first swim, because of this instinct involved.
Now let's see the totem part of it. When we come to the totem part of it, it's beautiful. Remember these two, this bird and this animal, they are very passive creatures.
First of all, that gives us the lesson of Swati-Nakshatra, who wants to be passive, wants to sit back and relax.
This type is passive anyway, but its drive is to rejuvenate something.
So unless Swati people as Nakshatra are the seventh aspect of any planet, a point sitting, unless you are rejuvenating that point continuously, because Libra has Venus and air sign, Venus itself is a reverse-revolving planet.
As you know, it's rejuvenates in something. Houses number two and seven, the Mara houses are ruled by Venus. Therefore, it's a transformative planet.
Right, let's get to a pigeon. Peace and harmony. The totem of pigeon is associated with peace and harmony, symbolizing the importance of finding inner peace and fostering peaceful relations with others.
Love and compassion. Pigeons are often seen as symbols of love and compassion, even the dove, for example, right, the same family.
The totem emphasizes the value of love, compassion and ability to care for others. Look at the others part of it, right, Libra wanting to bring things for others.
Aries itself, Libra is all about others. Even when you go back and revisit the other series, just look at this aspect from the first house perspective or seventh house perspective.
Messenger and communication. Pigeons have been used as messengers. So you have to bring something. Individuality needs solitude for perfection and discover new territory.
That's the rejuvenation part. You have to rejuvenate something in the seventh aspect of few to the other.
Freedom and independence. Pigeons can represent personal freedom and independence.
Adversizing the importance of personal sovereignty and pursuit of one's own goals. Individuality, Swati is all about individuality. It's a devina.
So you're looking for higher ideologies to bring the dense humanity up, Swati people, especially dominant as an instinct in houses 1458 and 12.
Faith and hope. Pigeons are often seen as symbols of faith and hope, offering a sense of optimism and belief in positive outcomes.
What about the buffalo guy over here? Strength and resilience.
They totem emphasizes the importance of inner strength and determination and ability to endure challenges.
Family and community. Once again, the seventh aspect, the others.
Their totem represents the value of family, unity, like a family unit, unity in community and importance of community support.
This is the balance Libra has to achieve. On the one hand, it wants to go out as Libra.
What's to mingle it? It loves the marketplace. It loves them all, so to speak.
He wants to be out there, but when you are out there, you need to find your individuality as well and be individual.
But individuality needs solitude for perfection.
So Libra has to balance in Swati between individuality as solitude and going out into the marketplace to discover new territory.
Might say that.
Protection and abundance. They totem is symbolize the potential for growth, prosperity and fulfillment of needs.
Libra is the symbol of abundance. Everything to do with celebration is Libra.
Everything to do with wealth is Libra. All the wealth lies in Libra.
All the wealth lies therefore in community, in the world, in earth. That's where it comes from.
The other, not you, the other.
Conservation and environmental stewardship.
Buffaloes are often seen as symbols of conservation and environmental stewardship due to their historical significance in preserving ecosystems.
See, we are animals. They live more in tune with nature, birds and animals, right? We all know this.
Buffaloes specifically symbolify how they take care of the ecosystem.
They totem may encourage individuals to protect and preserve the natural world.
So think of houses now. Just for a minute, just before we wrap this up.
Houses one is not an ascendant. So if your ascendant is in Swati, if your moon or sun is in Swati, if your Atma Karaka or the soul energy is in Swati, in houses one, four, five, eight and twelve.
These will be the instinct driven from Swati, whatever we just talked about.
House number four is your heart, your mother, your home, your homeland, so to speak.
So that's where it will come from.
Swati here, meaning Libra is here, meaning what is in the first house.
Seven, six, five, four, cancer ascendant is Libra in the fourth house, very liberal thinking cancer ascendants about their home, homeland.
Liberal minded, liberal hearted people, so to speak.
The Swati falls here.
It'll be seven, six, five, four, three Gemini for Gemini Libra will fall here.
So it's very liberal about their fame about what they want to get educated in, etc.
See how the instincts change according to the ascendants.
So you've got to make Libra travel around to see the instinct.
Eight house is the house of sunset is where the natural ego goes to die down and new cycle begins of rejuvenation.
Death is just an illusion in this context.
It rejuvenates constantly.
The 12th house is the house of where you spend the money, where you spend your energy, where you go to relax.
Your subconscious mind, so to speak, the dream time, how you engage in your sexual bed behaviors, for example, right?
Check out the moon placement.
It'll be dominant wherever it's in your chart.
If it's in one of these houses and how these instincts will play out.
Next, we shall deal with the 16th naksata of Vishakha, which also falls within Libra, but go was last step into Scorpio.
In one take care, be safe, share this video and I appreciate your comments if you have any.
