Hi there wonderful people, welcome to my channel.
So we are continuing the discussion of establishing
your core value system using Jyotish as well
as psychology. The excel sheet will be linked
in the description box. You can do this exercise
yourself if you know a fair degree of natal chart
and Navamsa and so on. There's enough material
on this channel for that. So now we speak of
external action versus internal action. external
is everything that shows up in your natal chart
and internal is everything that shows up in your
namamsa chart and after your Saturn maturity
or the age of 30. Alright, since that is established,
couple of points you always have to remember
regarding this is whatever shows up in your physical
reality will always be dictated in the natal
chart itself. However, what starts showing up
as you progress through the age from 0 to 30,
you are actually developing your Navamsa only.
It's a slow progression. It's not like overnight
you will flip a switch and then you will come
to Navamsa. That's not the way Jyotish works.
Navamsa is being geared towards establishing
after 30. So you might say as you are born and
from the time you come, come into this planet
and start absorbing everything that's going on
in your friends, family, education, whatever
your circumstances are and then you move till
30, you're maturing. Saturn is taking one round
of the entire zodiac, isn't it? That's the Saturn
maturity at 30 years and then you start becoming
more of your internal self in the external world
and it shows up more dominantly in your intimate
relationships. Like marriage, for example, since
your internal self is very blatantly exposed
to a total stranger when you are saying, I want
to be intimately involved with anyone. That happens
very fast if you are involved with someone. This
is why in the older tradition, there was always
caution given for intimate engagement. In the
Vedic tradition, it was always said to get married.
and then engage with intimacy. Don't do it before
that because you're starting your Navamsa earlier
than required. You don't have the maturity to
deal with intimate relationships. All these culture
going around of body count and all that thing
is really rubbish. It is spoiling your core structure,
making it very corrupted in terms of energies.
You should not engage like this with irresponsibility.
Okay, back to this. So, external reality will
show up as Mars. We are talking about action.
Internal action is really speaking your Navamsa
Mercury. Everything external is taken in this
study as natal chart. Mars in natal chart. Internal
action is Mercury in your Navamsa chart. In the
natal chart, it is still developing. In Navamsa,
it is where it starts maturing. We are talking
about maturity. Everything happening post 30
years of age, that's what we're talking about.
So how does this work? Look at where your Mars
is placed in your natal chart and look at where
Mercury is placed in your Navamsa chart. There's
enough material on Navamsa here in the Navamsa
playlist for all who wish to go through. There's
a comment saying, what is Navamsa? Well, go through
the playlist. You'll find everything you need
to there. We will take Mars as the external drive.
What will show up in the world is really your
Mars. Mars takes the action. Mars is an action
-oriented Kshatriya planet. So every action,
goal, target, achievement, motivation, etc.,
etc., that you will take in the external world
is really Mars in your natal chart. The Sai,
the nakshatra and so on. The internal action,
what do I mean by internal action? Your intellect
processes it in a certain way. Whatever is happening
in the external world, you will process it in
the internal way, which is to say, your mercury
which is sitting in your Navamsa chart, the Sahantana
Kshetra, everything else, and whatever is aspecting
it, conjuncting it. You can take all those aspects,
of course. So, this is what we are studying.
I will leave the excel worksheet. Now, we will
describe the excel worksheet. Keep watching and
then later on I will describe how the principles
play out. So you can share this, subscribe to
this. We shall discover more of this and probably
do the case studies as well. Listen in. So on
your screen right now, you can see the Excel
worksheet. I shall leave a link directly on my
Google Drive to this. You can download this and
work it yourself. This can also be a self -help,
this can also be an investigation if you are
a mainstream counselor, psychologist, etc. So
this Excel worksheet basically is taken off a
good source, reliable source on the internet.
These columns, the central column you see over
here, core values are a set of 100 value systems
if you scroll through which will give you what
it is you are looking for. what resounds with
you the most, okay? So there are totally 100
of them read right from A to Z in alphabetical
order, which says, what is it we are trying to
measure? We are trying to measure 100 parameters.
So kind of go slow on this. I urge you not to
rush through this whole thing. It's quite deep
and it's quite revealing, you might say, okay?
So first is the core values which are listed
over here. There are totally 100 core values
we work for as humans. And the category of external,
internal, you don't have to bother with these
columns. This is all merged and matched and all
that. See external plus status gives external
status and so on. So this is the way it is mapped.
External and internal status, responsibility,
action, cause, creation. And all you have to
do is focus when you download this excel sheet
on these answers column. You have to rate each
one on a scale of 1 to 10. I have just done a
sample here. Be very careful how you rate yourself.
Don't give full marks to everything. This is
not a competition. This is for you to understand
your core values. What makes sense to you? And
it's a scale. It's not a black and white. It
is not a yes and no answer. So 1 to 10 we have
evaluated. Colors will change by themselves.
Ignore all those other things. You have to focus
only on giving yourself scale of 1 to 10 against
each one of these core values where you stand.
Suppose I say accountability matters to me a
lot. That is 10 marks. Give yourself zero, generally,
wherever you find a no value attachment. That's
the important thing. The instructions for use
are here. It says, give yourself zero generously.
If these values you do not normally consider
for yourself, try and avoid scaling every value
evenly. Okay? Because we want to get to the core.
And all these things are calculated. These values
and focus areas, everything is calculated, there
are by charts and so on. So in terms of planets,
in terms of Jyotish, what does this mean? Your
external world, external status is dominantly
Sun in your natal chart. This pie chart is fully
for your natal chart. External status being Sun,
external responsibility being Saturn, external
action being Mars, external cause being Rahu
or the North Node of the Moon. external creation
being Venus. And what are the descriptions here?
See the listed ones. External status is that
which the self gets from the outside world. Your
status in the world. That's the sun in your needle.
External responsibility. That which the self
holds responsible to in the external world. That's
Saturn. External action. That which the self
takes action in the outside world. That's your
Mars. external cause that which is caused by
external world to drive the self that is your
Rahu invariably I have seen in every chart. Your
external creation that which is created by the
self in the external world is Venus. Now Venus
is the only thing common between external and
internal creations. You create essentially Venus
on this earth plane. So the internal status that
which the self gets from within is moon in your
Navamsa Internal parts all of these planets shown
is only your Navamsa by the way Internal responsibility
is your Jupiter whatever you hold accountable
That which the self holds responsible to itself.
It's a very highly internalized planet Jupiter
Doesn't show in the external world The external
world only sees your face. The internal world
is your Jupiter. Internal action is shown by
Mercury or intellect which is hidden. Jupiter
and Mercury are quite hidden. That by virtue
of which the self takes action in the outside
world caused from within. Ketu, once again, is
a very internal point. Internal cause is Ketu.
See where Ketu is placed in your Navamsa. That
is what is driving yourself in the external world,
which will become dominant after you cross the
age of 30. Internal creation, that which is created
as value. Remember 2nd house, Venus. I have spoken
of Venus as your value system. Okay? So keep
this background in mind. I shall keep these two
introductory lines in every podcast. And the
rest of it, is a voice over, have patience, listen,
understand, leave your comments if you find something
else, if you're mainstream, if this appears on
the LinkedIn newsletter and if it is cut short
because the platform only allows me 15 minutes.
Okay, I can't pack the whole thing in 15 minutes,
I won't be doing any justice to it. Entire video
is on YouTube, you can watch it on YouTube. Even
the people listening on Apple and Spotify and
other podcast channels. Listen in now. Core values.
External action versus internal action. From
Natal to Navamsa. Let's talk about action. Because
action is where your values stop being theory
and start becoming reality. Everyone acts. But
not everyone acts from alignment. Most people
act from pressure, expectation, habit or fear
of consequences. Jyotish allows us to see why
you act the way you do. and whether that action
is truly yours. This is where the difference
between external action, natal, and internal
action, Navamsa, becomes profoundly revealing.
External action, how natal pushes you into motion.
External action is about how you move in the
world. In the natal chart, action is goal -driven,
outcome -oriented, reactive to circumstances
shaped by competition, deadlines, survival, and
ambition. Externally, action answers questions
like, what must be done next? How do I get results?
How do I respond to pressure? This is the kind
of action that builds careers, reputations, and
momentum. You learn early that acting fast is
rewarded. Acting decisively earns respect. Acting
consistently creates stability. So external action
becomes efficient, sharp, and often relentless.
But efficiency does not always mean alignment.
Internal action. How Navamsa decides whether
action is sustainable. Internal action is quieter
and far more honest. It is not about speed. It
is about inner permission. Navamsa asks, does
this action make sense to my mind? Does it violate
my inner rhythm? Can I repeat this action for
years without losing myself? Internal action
governs motivation, mental energy, intention,
the inner logic that precedes every outer move.
This is why two people can take the same action
externally. One thrives, the other collapses.
The difference is not strength. It is internal
alignment. When external and internal action
are misaligned. This misalignment is one of the
most common sources of burnout. Externally, you
may be acting assertively, competitively, constantly,
without pause. Internally, however, your system
may need reflection, planning, emotional pacing,
meaning before movement. So you keep moving,
but the fuel is wrong. You may notice overthinking
before acting. mental exhaustion without physical
exhaustion, a sense of I'm busy but not fulfilled,
increasing irritability toward action itself.
This is Navamsa warning you. Your actions are
no longer synchronized with your mind. How sign
shifts redefine the nature of action. A sign
shift between natal and Navamsa changes the reason
behind action. Imagine a person whose natal action
is expressed through a sign that values speed,
courage, initiation, dominance. Externally, this
creates a doer, a starter, a fighter. Now imagine
that same action planet shifting in Navamsa to
a sign that values strategy, communication, emotional
intelligence, adaptability. Internally, action
now requires mental clarity and context. So life
begins to feel like this. I can act fast, but
I don't want to anymore. I want to understand
before I move. I need the action to make sense
in my head first. This is not hesitation. This
is evolved action. House shifts. When action
turns inward. House shifts between Nettle and
Navamsa often explain why people suddenly lose
interest in hustle. An action -oriented planet
may sit in a highly visible or competitive house
in Nettle and shift to a learning, reflective,
or relational house in Navamsa. Externally, action
is about proving. Internally, action becomes
about refinement. You may still act but you act
less frequently and more deliberately. This is
when people say, I don't want to react anymore.
I want to choose my battles. I want my actions
to mean something. Navamsa teaches that restraint
is also action. The mental cost of misdirected
action. Here's a truth most people don't want
to admit. Action without internal agreement creates
mental debt. You may achieve externally, but
internally you accumulate irritation, anxiety.
Second -guessing. Self -criticism. The mind starts
resisting movement. Procrastination appears.
Not because you are lazy, but because your internal
action engine has withdrawn consent. This is
why Navamsa is ruthless. It does not allow you
to lie to yourself forever. The maturity of aligned
action. Aligned action feels very different.
It is quieter, less performative, more precise,
deeply sustainable. You stop acting to prove
worth. You start acting because the action itself
feels correct. At this stage, action becomes
intentional instead of impulsive, responsive
instead of reactive, integrated instead of scattered.
Externally, it may look like you are doing less.
Internally, it feels like you are finally moving
in the right direction. The deeper teaching Navamsa
brings, Navamsa teaches that action is not power,
direction is power. External action builds movement.
Internal action builds meaning. When these two
align, effort stops feeling forced. You act,
not because you must, but because your mind and
your will are finally speaking the same language.
Thoughts to sit with. As you reflect on your
life and your chart, let these questions echo
gently. Which of my actions give me momentum
and which drain my mind? Where am I acting out
of urgency rather than clarity? If I removed
pressure and expectation, what actions would
still feel necessary? What would change if I
allowed my inner rhythm to set the pace? These
are not questions about productivity. They are
questions about how you want your energy to move
through this lifetime. Mars as external action,
Mercury as internal action. Examples. Action
is not just what you do. Action is why you move,
how you decide, and what mentally triggers motion.
In this framework, Mars and Natal, D1, shows
external action, how you fight, push, assert,
initiate, and execute in the outer world. Mercury
and Navamsa, D9, shows internal action, the mental
wiring that decides whether, when, and how you
act. Many people look active externally but feel
frozen inside. Others overthink internally and
underperform outwardly. That gap is where frustration,
anger, and anxiety are born. Let's ground this
with lived examples. Example 1. Mars and Aries,
first house. Mercury and Virgo, sixth house.
Externally, action is bold, fast, instinctive,
and self -directed. This person charges forward
and initiates without hesitation. Internally,
the mind wants analysis, correctness, and usefulness
before moving. Over time, impulsive action begins
to clash with an inner need for precision. Core
tension, impulse versus analysis. Maturity lesson,
speed without thought wastes energy. Example
two. Mars in Capricorn, 10th house, Mercury in
Pisces, 12th house. Externally, action is disciplined,
strategic, and goal -oriented. This person executes
relentlessly and performs under pressure. Internally,
the mind operates through intuition, imagination,
and emotional absorption. Overexertion creates
mental fog and exhaustion. Core tension, execution
versus intuition. Maturity lesson, action must
breathe to remain effective. Example three. Mars
in Gemini, third house. Mercury in Taurus, second
house. Externally, action is quick, verbal, multitasking,
and restless. Movement happens through communication
and constant interaction. Internally, the mind
prefers steadiness, repetition, and security.
Scattered effort drains mental strength. Core
tension, activity versus stability. Maturity
lesson, consistency multiplies effort. Example
four, Mars in Cancer. For Mercury in Capricorn,
Tenth house, externally action is emotionally
driven and reactive. Decisions are shaped by
moods, protection, and emotional bonds. Internally,
the mind demands structure, planning, and results.
Emotional action without strategy feels unsafe.
Core tension, emotion versus structure. Maturity
lesson, feelings need direction to become strength.
Example five, Mars and Leo, fifth house, Mercury
and Aquarius, 11th house. Externally, Action
is dramatic, expressive, creative, and leadership
-oriented. This person acts when inspired or
admired. Internally, the mind is objective, future
-focused, and collective -oriented. Ego -driven
action begins to feel limiting. Core tension,
self -expression versus objectivity. Maturity
lesson, leadership matures when vision exceeds
ego. Example six, Mars and Virgo, sixth house,
Mercury and Sagittarius, ninth house. Externally,
action is precise, service -based, and problem
-solving. Effort is directed toward fixing and
improving. Internally, the mind seeks meaning,
philosophy, and broader understanding. Endless
correction feels mentally suffocating. Core tension,
detail versus purpose. Maturity lesson, effort
needs meaning, not just efficiency. Example seven,
Mars in Libra, seventh house, Mercury in Scorpio,
eighth house. Externally, action is diplomatic.
Cautious and relationship centered. Conflict
is avoided, balance is prioritized. Internally,
the mind is intense, investigative and uncompromising
about truth. Politeness without honesty becomes
unbearable. Core tension, diplomacy versus depth.
Maturity lesson, truth must not be sacrificed
for peace. Example eight, Mars and Scorpio, eighth
house, Mercury and Gemini, third house. Externally,
action is intense, strategic and survival driven.
Effort is focused in all or nothing. Internally,
the mind is curious, restless, and constantly
shifting perspectives. Mental scattering dilutes
external power. Core tension, intensity versus
flexibility. Maturity lesson, adaptability preserves
strength. Example nine, Mars and Sagittarius,
ninth house, Mercury and Virgo, sixth house.
Externally, action is idealistic, adventurous,
and belief -driven. The person acts for principles
and causes. Internally, the mind demands practicality,
method, and tangible usefulness. Idealism without
execution creates frustration. Core tension,
belief versus method. Maturity lesson, ideals
survive only when grounded. Example 10, Mars
and Pisces, 12th house. Mercury and Aries, first
house. Externally, action is indirect, sacrificial,
and often invisible. Energy leaks through confusion
or over giving. Internally, the mind is sharp,
decisive, and impatient. Mental urgency clashes
with passive action. Core tension, surrender
versus assertion. Maturity lesson, clarity is
a form of courage. Core principles to take away.
One, Mars shows how you act. Mercury shows why
you act. Two, anger appears when Mars moves faster
than Mercury can justify. Three, anxiety appears
when Mercury overthinks Mars into paralysis.
Four, sustainable action happens when instinct
and intellect cooperate. Maturity is not doing
more. It is acting with internal clarity. When
external action Mars and internal action Mercury
align, effort becomes efficient, courage becomes
intelligent, and action finally feels right,
not forced.
