WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.459 Hi there wonderful people, welcome to my channel. 00:00:03.000 --> 00:00:05.860 So we are continuing the discussion of establishing 00:00:05.860 --> 00:00:09.699 your core value system using Jyotish as well 00:00:09.699 --> 00:00:11.820 as psychology. The excel sheet will be linked 00:00:11.820 --> 00:00:14.800 in the description box. You can do this exercise 00:00:14.800 --> 00:00:18.839 yourself if you know a fair degree of natal chart 00:00:18.839 --> 00:00:21.320 and Navamsa and so on. There's enough material 00:00:21.320 --> 00:00:25.199 on this channel for that. So now we speak of 00:00:25.199 --> 00:00:29.250 external action versus internal action. external 00:00:29.250 --> 00:00:31.530 is everything that shows up in your natal chart 00:00:31.530 --> 00:00:34.609 and internal is everything that shows up in your 00:00:34.609 --> 00:00:37.810 namamsa chart and after your Saturn maturity 00:00:37.810 --> 00:00:42.130 or the age of 30. Alright, since that is established, 00:00:43.130 --> 00:00:44.990 couple of points you always have to remember 00:00:44.990 --> 00:00:48.490 regarding this is whatever shows up in your physical 00:00:48.490 --> 00:00:51.929 reality will always be dictated in the natal 00:00:51.929 --> 00:00:56.399 chart itself. However, what starts showing up 00:00:56.399 --> 00:00:59.679 as you progress through the age from 0 to 30, 00:01:00.439 --> 00:01:03.299 you are actually developing your Navamsa only. 00:01:03.719 --> 00:01:06.359 It's a slow progression. It's not like overnight 00:01:06.359 --> 00:01:08.540 you will flip a switch and then you will come 00:01:08.540 --> 00:01:10.879 to Navamsa. That's not the way Jyotish works. 00:01:11.599 --> 00:01:15.420 Navamsa is being geared towards establishing 00:01:15.420 --> 00:01:21.060 after 30. So you might say as you are born and 00:01:21.060 --> 00:01:23.829 from the time you come, come into this planet 00:01:23.829 --> 00:01:28.010 and start absorbing everything that's going on 00:01:28.010 --> 00:01:30.129 in your friends, family, education, whatever 00:01:30.129 --> 00:01:33.310 your circumstances are and then you move till 00:01:33.310 --> 00:01:36.590 30, you're maturing. Saturn is taking one round 00:01:36.590 --> 00:01:39.530 of the entire zodiac, isn't it? That's the Saturn 00:01:39.530 --> 00:01:43.849 maturity at 30 years and then you start becoming 00:01:43.849 --> 00:01:47.370 more of your internal self in the external world 00:01:47.370 --> 00:01:51.090 and it shows up more dominantly in your intimate 00:01:51.090 --> 00:01:55.849 relationships. Like marriage, for example, since 00:01:55.849 --> 00:01:59.849 your internal self is very blatantly exposed 00:01:59.849 --> 00:02:02.590 to a total stranger when you are saying, I want 00:02:02.590 --> 00:02:05.890 to be intimately involved with anyone. That happens 00:02:05.890 --> 00:02:09.169 very fast if you are involved with someone. This 00:02:09.169 --> 00:02:12.110 is why in the older tradition, there was always 00:02:12.110 --> 00:02:17.289 caution given for intimate engagement. In the 00:02:17.289 --> 00:02:19.949 Vedic tradition, it was always said to get married. 00:02:20.219 --> 00:02:23.180 and then engage with intimacy. Don't do it before 00:02:23.180 --> 00:02:25.800 that because you're starting your Navamsa earlier 00:02:25.800 --> 00:02:28.060 than required. You don't have the maturity to 00:02:28.060 --> 00:02:33.020 deal with intimate relationships. All these culture 00:02:33.020 --> 00:02:35.400 going around of body count and all that thing 00:02:35.400 --> 00:02:39.680 is really rubbish. It is spoiling your core structure, 00:02:39.740 --> 00:02:42.960 making it very corrupted in terms of energies. 00:02:43.199 --> 00:02:46.520 You should not engage like this with irresponsibility. 00:02:47.500 --> 00:02:52.590 Okay, back to this. So, external reality will 00:02:52.590 --> 00:02:55.150 show up as Mars. We are talking about action. 00:02:56.009 --> 00:02:58.889 Internal action is really speaking your Navamsa 00:02:58.889 --> 00:03:02.129 Mercury. Everything external is taken in this 00:03:02.129 --> 00:03:06.430 study as natal chart. Mars in natal chart. Internal 00:03:06.430 --> 00:03:10.490 action is Mercury in your Navamsa chart. In the 00:03:10.490 --> 00:03:12.750 natal chart, it is still developing. In Navamsa, 00:03:12.789 --> 00:03:15.210 it is where it starts maturing. We are talking 00:03:15.210 --> 00:03:18.629 about maturity. Everything happening post 30 00:03:18.629 --> 00:03:20.949 years of age, that's what we're talking about. 00:03:21.909 --> 00:03:24.789 So how does this work? Look at where your Mars 00:03:24.789 --> 00:03:27.689 is placed in your natal chart and look at where 00:03:27.689 --> 00:03:30.349 Mercury is placed in your Navamsa chart. There's 00:03:30.349 --> 00:03:33.050 enough material on Navamsa here in the Navamsa 00:03:33.050 --> 00:03:35.189 playlist for all who wish to go through. There's 00:03:35.189 --> 00:03:37.530 a comment saying, what is Navamsa? Well, go through 00:03:37.530 --> 00:03:40.310 the playlist. You'll find everything you need 00:03:40.310 --> 00:03:46.699 to there. We will take Mars as the external drive. 00:03:46.939 --> 00:03:49.620 What will show up in the world is really your 00:03:49.620 --> 00:03:52.280 Mars. Mars takes the action. Mars is an action 00:03:52.280 --> 00:03:55.860 -oriented Kshatriya planet. So every action, 00:03:56.120 --> 00:03:59.020 goal, target, achievement, motivation, etc., 00:03:59.020 --> 00:04:01.379 etc., that you will take in the external world 00:04:01.379 --> 00:04:04.639 is really Mars in your natal chart. The Sai, 00:04:04.759 --> 00:04:08.460 the nakshatra and so on. The internal action, 00:04:08.580 --> 00:04:12.189 what do I mean by internal action? Your intellect 00:04:12.189 --> 00:04:15.969 processes it in a certain way. Whatever is happening 00:04:15.969 --> 00:04:19.089 in the external world, you will process it in 00:04:19.089 --> 00:04:22.370 the internal way, which is to say, your mercury 00:04:22.370 --> 00:04:25.949 which is sitting in your Navamsa chart, the Sahantana 00:04:25.949 --> 00:04:28.649 Kshetra, everything else, and whatever is aspecting 00:04:28.649 --> 00:04:31.709 it, conjuncting it. You can take all those aspects, 00:04:31.709 --> 00:04:35.269 of course. So, this is what we are studying. 00:04:36.029 --> 00:04:38.550 I will leave the excel worksheet. Now, we will 00:04:38.550 --> 00:04:41.829 describe the excel worksheet. Keep watching and 00:04:41.829 --> 00:04:45.050 then later on I will describe how the principles 00:04:45.050 --> 00:04:48.529 play out. So you can share this, subscribe to 00:04:48.529 --> 00:04:50.810 this. We shall discover more of this and probably 00:04:50.810 --> 00:04:55.490 do the case studies as well. Listen in. So on 00:04:55.490 --> 00:04:58.490 your screen right now, you can see the Excel 00:04:58.490 --> 00:05:01.610 worksheet. I shall leave a link directly on my 00:05:01.610 --> 00:05:03.629 Google Drive to this. You can download this and 00:05:03.629 --> 00:05:06.990 work it yourself. This can also be a self -help, 00:05:07.069 --> 00:05:09.250 this can also be an investigation if you are 00:05:09.250 --> 00:05:14.110 a mainstream counselor, psychologist, etc. So 00:05:14.110 --> 00:05:17.449 this Excel worksheet basically is taken off a 00:05:17.449 --> 00:05:19.569 good source, reliable source on the internet. 00:05:20.230 --> 00:05:23.189 These columns, the central column you see over 00:05:23.189 --> 00:05:28.329 here, core values are a set of 100 value systems 00:05:28.329 --> 00:05:32.389 if you scroll through which will give you what 00:05:32.389 --> 00:05:35.639 it is you are looking for. what resounds with 00:05:35.639 --> 00:05:40.199 you the most, okay? So there are totally 100 00:05:40.199 --> 00:05:43.199 of them read right from A to Z in alphabetical 00:05:43.199 --> 00:05:47.579 order, which says, what is it we are trying to 00:05:47.579 --> 00:05:49.920 measure? We are trying to measure 100 parameters. 00:05:50.019 --> 00:05:53.319 So kind of go slow on this. I urge you not to 00:05:53.319 --> 00:05:55.899 rush through this whole thing. It's quite deep 00:05:55.899 --> 00:06:00.699 and it's quite revealing, you might say, okay? 00:06:01.180 --> 00:06:03.740 So first is the core values which are listed 00:06:03.740 --> 00:06:06.319 over here. There are totally 100 core values 00:06:06.319 --> 00:06:10.980 we work for as humans. And the category of external, 00:06:11.240 --> 00:06:12.819 internal, you don't have to bother with these 00:06:12.819 --> 00:06:17.060 columns. This is all merged and matched and all 00:06:17.060 --> 00:06:19.379 that. See external plus status gives external 00:06:19.379 --> 00:06:23.279 status and so on. So this is the way it is mapped. 00:06:23.620 --> 00:06:26.040 External and internal status, responsibility, 00:06:26.360 --> 00:06:30.750 action, cause, creation. And all you have to 00:06:30.750 --> 00:06:33.689 do is focus when you download this excel sheet 00:06:33.689 --> 00:06:36.689 on these answers column. You have to rate each 00:06:36.689 --> 00:06:41.930 one on a scale of 1 to 10. I have just done a 00:06:41.930 --> 00:06:44.949 sample here. Be very careful how you rate yourself. 00:06:45.290 --> 00:06:47.430 Don't give full marks to everything. This is 00:06:47.430 --> 00:06:51.350 not a competition. This is for you to understand 00:06:51.350 --> 00:06:55.120 your core values. What makes sense to you? And 00:06:55.120 --> 00:06:57.560 it's a scale. It's not a black and white. It 00:06:57.560 --> 00:07:02.379 is not a yes and no answer. So 1 to 10 we have 00:07:02.379 --> 00:07:04.420 evaluated. Colors will change by themselves. 00:07:04.680 --> 00:07:06.779 Ignore all those other things. You have to focus 00:07:06.779 --> 00:07:11.040 only on giving yourself scale of 1 to 10 against 00:07:11.040 --> 00:07:13.480 each one of these core values where you stand. 00:07:14.319 --> 00:07:16.680 Suppose I say accountability matters to me a 00:07:16.680 --> 00:07:22.230 lot. That is 10 marks. Give yourself zero, generally, 00:07:22.410 --> 00:07:25.389 wherever you find a no value attachment. That's 00:07:25.389 --> 00:07:27.930 the important thing. The instructions for use 00:07:27.930 --> 00:07:31.730 are here. It says, give yourself zero generously. 00:07:32.069 --> 00:07:34.050 If these values you do not normally consider 00:07:34.050 --> 00:07:36.410 for yourself, try and avoid scaling every value 00:07:36.410 --> 00:07:40.230 evenly. Okay? Because we want to get to the core. 00:07:41.310 --> 00:07:43.850 And all these things are calculated. These values 00:07:43.850 --> 00:07:46.529 and focus areas, everything is calculated, there 00:07:46.529 --> 00:07:51.620 are by charts and so on. So in terms of planets, 00:07:51.959 --> 00:07:55.259 in terms of Jyotish, what does this mean? Your 00:07:55.259 --> 00:07:58.399 external world, external status is dominantly 00:07:58.399 --> 00:08:01.980 Sun in your natal chart. This pie chart is fully 00:08:01.980 --> 00:08:05.600 for your natal chart. External status being Sun, 00:08:06.240 --> 00:08:09.699 external responsibility being Saturn, external 00:08:09.699 --> 00:08:13.040 action being Mars, external cause being Rahu 00:08:13.040 --> 00:08:16.519 or the North Node of the Moon. external creation 00:08:16.519 --> 00:08:20.060 being Venus. And what are the descriptions here? 00:08:20.339 --> 00:08:22.920 See the listed ones. External status is that 00:08:22.920 --> 00:08:26.600 which the self gets from the outside world. Your 00:08:26.600 --> 00:08:29.240 status in the world. That's the sun in your needle. 00:08:30.019 --> 00:08:32.820 External responsibility. That which the self 00:08:32.820 --> 00:08:35.879 holds responsible to in the external world. That's 00:08:35.879 --> 00:08:39.019 Saturn. External action. That which the self 00:08:39.019 --> 00:08:41.399 takes action in the outside world. That's your 00:08:41.399 --> 00:08:45.159 Mars. external cause that which is caused by 00:08:45.159 --> 00:08:47.620 external world to drive the self that is your 00:08:47.620 --> 00:08:51.279 Rahu invariably I have seen in every chart. Your 00:08:51.279 --> 00:08:53.840 external creation that which is created by the 00:08:53.840 --> 00:08:56.159 self in the external world is Venus. Now Venus 00:08:56.159 --> 00:08:58.539 is the only thing common between external and 00:08:58.539 --> 00:09:01.440 internal creations. You create essentially Venus 00:09:01.440 --> 00:09:05.820 on this earth plane. So the internal status that 00:09:05.820 --> 00:09:09.100 which the self gets from within is moon in your 00:09:09.100 --> 00:09:12.419 Navamsa Internal parts all of these planets shown 00:09:12.419 --> 00:09:17.620 is only your Navamsa by the way Internal responsibility 00:09:17.620 --> 00:09:21.460 is your Jupiter whatever you hold accountable 00:09:21.460 --> 00:09:25.700 That which the self holds responsible to itself. 00:09:26.000 --> 00:09:29.340 It's a very highly internalized planet Jupiter 00:09:29.340 --> 00:09:31.940 Doesn't show in the external world The external 00:09:31.940 --> 00:09:34.100 world only sees your face. The internal world 00:09:34.100 --> 00:09:37.940 is your Jupiter. Internal action is shown by 00:09:37.940 --> 00:09:40.620 Mercury or intellect which is hidden. Jupiter 00:09:40.620 --> 00:09:43.679 and Mercury are quite hidden. That by virtue 00:09:43.679 --> 00:09:46.100 of which the self takes action in the outside 00:09:46.100 --> 00:09:51.340 world caused from within. Ketu, once again, is 00:09:51.340 --> 00:09:54.940 a very internal point. Internal cause is Ketu. 00:09:55.059 --> 00:09:57.299 See where Ketu is placed in your Navamsa. That 00:09:57.299 --> 00:10:00.100 is what is driving yourself in the external world, 00:10:00.519 --> 00:10:03.379 which will become dominant after you cross the 00:10:03.379 --> 00:10:06.960 age of 30. Internal creation, that which is created 00:10:06.960 --> 00:10:09.980 as value. Remember 2nd house, Venus. I have spoken 00:10:09.980 --> 00:10:14.340 of Venus as your value system. Okay? So keep 00:10:14.340 --> 00:10:17.019 this background in mind. I shall keep these two 00:10:17.019 --> 00:10:21.759 introductory lines in every podcast. And the 00:10:21.759 --> 00:10:24.850 rest of it, is a voice over, have patience, listen, 00:10:25.370 --> 00:10:28.049 understand, leave your comments if you find something 00:10:28.049 --> 00:10:31.190 else, if you're mainstream, if this appears on 00:10:31.190 --> 00:10:33.250 the LinkedIn newsletter and if it is cut short 00:10:33.250 --> 00:10:36.129 because the platform only allows me 15 minutes. 00:10:36.610 --> 00:10:38.809 Okay, I can't pack the whole thing in 15 minutes, 00:10:38.850 --> 00:10:41.870 I won't be doing any justice to it. Entire video 00:10:41.870 --> 00:10:45.120 is on YouTube, you can watch it on YouTube. Even 00:10:45.120 --> 00:10:47.960 the people listening on Apple and Spotify and 00:10:47.960 --> 00:10:51.539 other podcast channels. Listen in now. Core values. 00:10:51.639 --> 00:10:54.600 External action versus internal action. From 00:10:54.600 --> 00:10:57.200 Natal to Navamsa. Let's talk about action. Because 00:10:57.200 --> 00:10:59.980 action is where your values stop being theory 00:10:59.980 --> 00:11:02.980 and start becoming reality. Everyone acts. But 00:11:02.980 --> 00:11:05.519 not everyone acts from alignment. Most people 00:11:05.519 --> 00:11:08.159 act from pressure, expectation, habit or fear 00:11:08.159 --> 00:11:11.360 of consequences. Jyotish allows us to see why 00:11:11.360 --> 00:11:13.980 you act the way you do. and whether that action 00:11:13.980 --> 00:11:16.919 is truly yours. This is where the difference 00:11:16.919 --> 00:11:19.700 between external action, natal, and internal 00:11:19.700 --> 00:11:22.299 action, Navamsa, becomes profoundly revealing. 00:11:24.159 --> 00:11:26.720 External action, how natal pushes you into motion. 00:11:27.299 --> 00:11:29.059 External action is about how you move in the 00:11:29.059 --> 00:11:31.840 world. In the natal chart, action is goal -driven, 00:11:32.240 --> 00:11:34.539 outcome -oriented, reactive to circumstances 00:11:34.539 --> 00:11:37.379 shaped by competition, deadlines, survival, and 00:11:37.379 --> 00:11:40.480 ambition. Externally, action answers questions 00:11:40.480 --> 00:11:43.759 like, what must be done next? How do I get results? 00:11:44.059 --> 00:11:46.899 How do I respond to pressure? This is the kind 00:11:46.899 --> 00:11:49.399 of action that builds careers, reputations, and 00:11:49.399 --> 00:11:52.639 momentum. You learn early that acting fast is 00:11:52.639 --> 00:11:55.779 rewarded. Acting decisively earns respect. Acting 00:11:55.779 --> 00:11:59.139 consistently creates stability. So external action 00:11:59.139 --> 00:12:01.659 becomes efficient, sharp, and often relentless. 00:12:02.019 --> 00:12:04.120 But efficiency does not always mean alignment. 00:12:05.600 --> 00:12:07.940 Internal action. How Navamsa decides whether 00:12:07.940 --> 00:12:11.080 action is sustainable. Internal action is quieter 00:12:11.080 --> 00:12:14.480 and far more honest. It is not about speed. It 00:12:14.480 --> 00:12:17.820 is about inner permission. Navamsa asks, does 00:12:17.820 --> 00:12:20.539 this action make sense to my mind? Does it violate 00:12:20.539 --> 00:12:22.779 my inner rhythm? Can I repeat this action for 00:12:22.779 --> 00:12:25.779 years without losing myself? Internal action 00:12:25.779 --> 00:12:29.080 governs motivation, mental energy, intention, 00:12:29.399 --> 00:12:32.480 the inner logic that precedes every outer move. 00:12:32.980 --> 00:12:34.960 This is why two people can take the same action 00:12:34.960 --> 00:12:37.659 externally. One thrives, the other collapses. 00:12:38.000 --> 00:12:40.580 The difference is not strength. It is internal 00:12:40.580 --> 00:12:43.659 alignment. When external and internal action 00:12:43.659 --> 00:12:46.460 are misaligned. This misalignment is one of the 00:12:46.460 --> 00:12:49.159 most common sources of burnout. Externally, you 00:12:49.159 --> 00:12:52.440 may be acting assertively, competitively, constantly, 00:12:52.720 --> 00:12:55.440 without pause. Internally, however, your system 00:12:55.440 --> 00:12:58.580 may need reflection, planning, emotional pacing, 00:12:59.039 --> 00:13:02.019 meaning before movement. So you keep moving, 00:13:02.360 --> 00:13:05.960 but the fuel is wrong. You may notice overthinking 00:13:05.960 --> 00:13:08.929 before acting. mental exhaustion without physical 00:13:08.929 --> 00:13:12.230 exhaustion, a sense of I'm busy but not fulfilled, 00:13:12.970 --> 00:13:14.970 increasing irritability toward action itself. 00:13:15.549 --> 00:13:18.330 This is Navamsa warning you. Your actions are 00:13:18.330 --> 00:13:21.809 no longer synchronized with your mind. How sign 00:13:21.809 --> 00:13:25.470 shifts redefine the nature of action. A sign 00:13:25.470 --> 00:13:28.190 shift between natal and Navamsa changes the reason 00:13:28.190 --> 00:13:31.409 behind action. Imagine a person whose natal action 00:13:31.409 --> 00:13:34.409 is expressed through a sign that values speed, 00:13:34.700 --> 00:13:38.200 courage, initiation, dominance. Externally, this 00:13:38.200 --> 00:13:41.379 creates a doer, a starter, a fighter. Now imagine 00:13:41.379 --> 00:13:43.799 that same action planet shifting in Navamsa to 00:13:43.799 --> 00:13:46.799 a sign that values strategy, communication, emotional 00:13:46.799 --> 00:13:50.019 intelligence, adaptability. Internally, action 00:13:50.019 --> 00:13:53.179 now requires mental clarity and context. So life 00:13:53.179 --> 00:13:56.039 begins to feel like this. I can act fast, but 00:13:56.039 --> 00:13:58.320 I don't want to anymore. I want to understand 00:13:58.320 --> 00:14:00.820 before I move. I need the action to make sense 00:14:00.820 --> 00:14:04.360 in my head first. This is not hesitation. This 00:14:04.360 --> 00:14:09.419 is evolved action. House shifts. When action 00:14:09.419 --> 00:14:11.620 turns inward. House shifts between Nettle and 00:14:11.620 --> 00:14:13.759 Navamsa often explain why people suddenly lose 00:14:13.759 --> 00:14:16.340 interest in hustle. An action -oriented planet 00:14:16.340 --> 00:14:19.059 may sit in a highly visible or competitive house 00:14:19.059 --> 00:14:21.779 in Nettle and shift to a learning, reflective, 00:14:22.000 --> 00:14:25.360 or relational house in Navamsa. Externally, action 00:14:25.360 --> 00:14:28.080 is about proving. Internally, action becomes 00:14:28.080 --> 00:14:31.539 about refinement. You may still act but you act 00:14:31.539 --> 00:14:34.679 less frequently and more deliberately. This is 00:14:34.679 --> 00:14:37.120 when people say, I don't want to react anymore. 00:14:37.299 --> 00:14:39.639 I want to choose my battles. I want my actions 00:14:39.639 --> 00:14:42.539 to mean something. Navamsa teaches that restraint 00:14:42.539 --> 00:14:48.200 is also action. The mental cost of misdirected 00:14:48.200 --> 00:14:50.139 action. Here's a truth most people don't want 00:14:50.139 --> 00:14:53.279 to admit. Action without internal agreement creates 00:14:53.279 --> 00:14:55.980 mental debt. You may achieve externally, but 00:14:55.980 --> 00:14:59.000 internally you accumulate irritation, anxiety. 00:14:59.179 --> 00:15:02.820 Second -guessing. Self -criticism. The mind starts 00:15:02.820 --> 00:15:05.059 resisting movement. Procrastination appears. 00:15:05.200 --> 00:15:07.340 Not because you are lazy, but because your internal 00:15:07.340 --> 00:15:10.000 action engine has withdrawn consent. This is 00:15:10.000 --> 00:15:12.539 why Navamsa is ruthless. It does not allow you 00:15:12.539 --> 00:15:15.639 to lie to yourself forever. The maturity of aligned 00:15:15.639 --> 00:15:18.580 action. Aligned action feels very different. 00:15:19.100 --> 00:15:22.720 It is quieter, less performative, more precise, 00:15:23.120 --> 00:15:25.740 deeply sustainable. You stop acting to prove 00:15:25.740 --> 00:15:28.889 worth. You start acting because the action itself 00:15:28.889 --> 00:15:32.110 feels correct. At this stage, action becomes 00:15:32.110 --> 00:15:35.070 intentional instead of impulsive, responsive 00:15:35.070 --> 00:15:37.970 instead of reactive, integrated instead of scattered. 00:15:38.750 --> 00:15:40.529 Externally, it may look like you are doing less. 00:15:40.990 --> 00:15:43.210 Internally, it feels like you are finally moving 00:15:43.210 --> 00:15:46.950 in the right direction. The deeper teaching Navamsa 00:15:46.950 --> 00:15:49.950 brings, Navamsa teaches that action is not power, 00:15:50.169 --> 00:15:53.730 direction is power. External action builds movement. 00:15:54.389 --> 00:15:57.629 Internal action builds meaning. When these two 00:15:57.629 --> 00:16:00.970 align, effort stops feeling forced. You act, 00:16:01.129 --> 00:16:03.389 not because you must, but because your mind and 00:16:03.389 --> 00:16:05.870 your will are finally speaking the same language. 00:16:06.309 --> 00:16:09.629 Thoughts to sit with. As you reflect on your 00:16:09.629 --> 00:16:11.970 life and your chart, let these questions echo 00:16:11.970 --> 00:16:14.690 gently. Which of my actions give me momentum 00:16:14.690 --> 00:16:17.350 and which drain my mind? Where am I acting out 00:16:17.350 --> 00:16:20.110 of urgency rather than clarity? If I removed 00:16:20.110 --> 00:16:22.649 pressure and expectation, what actions would 00:16:22.649 --> 00:16:25.649 still feel necessary? What would change if I 00:16:25.649 --> 00:16:28.669 allowed my inner rhythm to set the pace? These 00:16:28.669 --> 00:16:30.889 are not questions about productivity. They are 00:16:30.889 --> 00:16:33.830 questions about how you want your energy to move 00:16:33.830 --> 00:16:36.710 through this lifetime. Mars as external action, 00:16:37.129 --> 00:16:40.509 Mercury as internal action. Examples. Action 00:16:40.509 --> 00:16:43.169 is not just what you do. Action is why you move, 00:16:43.250 --> 00:16:45.809 how you decide, and what mentally triggers motion. 00:16:46.409 --> 00:16:49.389 In this framework, Mars and Natal, D1, shows 00:16:49.389 --> 00:16:52.129 external action, how you fight, push, assert, 00:16:52.470 --> 00:16:54.950 initiate, and execute in the outer world. Mercury 00:16:54.950 --> 00:16:58.009 and Navamsa, D9, shows internal action, the mental 00:16:58.009 --> 00:17:00.190 wiring that decides whether, when, and how you 00:17:00.190 --> 00:17:03.389 act. Many people look active externally but feel 00:17:03.389 --> 00:17:06.569 frozen inside. Others overthink internally and 00:17:06.569 --> 00:17:09.569 underperform outwardly. That gap is where frustration, 00:17:09.710 --> 00:17:12.329 anger, and anxiety are born. Let's ground this 00:17:12.329 --> 00:17:16.259 with lived examples. Example 1. Mars and Aries, 00:17:16.480 --> 00:17:19.119 first house. Mercury and Virgo, sixth house. 00:17:19.599 --> 00:17:22.220 Externally, action is bold, fast, instinctive, 00:17:22.259 --> 00:17:24.579 and self -directed. This person charges forward 00:17:24.579 --> 00:17:27.519 and initiates without hesitation. Internally, 00:17:27.579 --> 00:17:29.960 the mind wants analysis, correctness, and usefulness 00:17:29.960 --> 00:17:33.460 before moving. Over time, impulsive action begins 00:17:33.460 --> 00:17:36.079 to clash with an inner need for precision. Core 00:17:36.079 --> 00:17:39.220 tension, impulse versus analysis. Maturity lesson, 00:17:39.660 --> 00:17:42.619 speed without thought wastes energy. Example 00:17:42.619 --> 00:17:46.970 two. Mars in Capricorn, 10th house, Mercury in 00:17:46.970 --> 00:17:50.130 Pisces, 12th house. Externally, action is disciplined, 00:17:50.349 --> 00:17:53.349 strategic, and goal -oriented. This person executes 00:17:53.349 --> 00:17:56.569 relentlessly and performs under pressure. Internally, 00:17:56.730 --> 00:17:59.230 the mind operates through intuition, imagination, 00:17:59.490 --> 00:18:01.910 and emotional absorption. Overexertion creates 00:18:01.910 --> 00:18:05.309 mental fog and exhaustion. Core tension, execution 00:18:05.309 --> 00:18:08.250 versus intuition. Maturity lesson, action must 00:18:08.250 --> 00:18:12.160 breathe to remain effective. Example three. Mars 00:18:12.160 --> 00:18:15.039 in Gemini, third house. Mercury in Taurus, second 00:18:15.039 --> 00:18:18.500 house. Externally, action is quick, verbal, multitasking, 00:18:18.720 --> 00:18:21.299 and restless. Movement happens through communication 00:18:21.299 --> 00:18:24.119 and constant interaction. Internally, the mind 00:18:24.119 --> 00:18:26.779 prefers steadiness, repetition, and security. 00:18:27.339 --> 00:18:29.539 Scattered effort drains mental strength. Core 00:18:29.539 --> 00:18:32.380 tension, activity versus stability. Maturity 00:18:32.380 --> 00:18:35.680 lesson, consistency multiplies effort. Example 00:18:35.680 --> 00:18:38.579 four, Mars in Cancer. For Mercury in Capricorn, 00:18:38.750 --> 00:18:41.589 Tenth house, externally action is emotionally 00:18:41.589 --> 00:18:44.269 driven and reactive. Decisions are shaped by 00:18:44.269 --> 00:18:47.410 moods, protection, and emotional bonds. Internally, 00:18:47.470 --> 00:18:49.809 the mind demands structure, planning, and results. 00:18:50.349 --> 00:18:53.170 Emotional action without strategy feels unsafe. 00:18:54.029 --> 00:18:57.230 Core tension, emotion versus structure. Maturity 00:18:57.230 --> 00:18:59.710 lesson, feelings need direction to become strength. 00:19:00.190 --> 00:19:03.789 Example five, Mars and Leo, fifth house, Mercury 00:19:03.789 --> 00:19:06.819 and Aquarius, 11th house. Externally, Action 00:19:06.819 --> 00:19:09.519 is dramatic, expressive, creative, and leadership 00:19:09.519 --> 00:19:12.099 -oriented. This person acts when inspired or 00:19:12.099 --> 00:19:14.700 admired. Internally, the mind is objective, future 00:19:14.700 --> 00:19:17.000 -focused, and collective -oriented. Ego -driven 00:19:17.000 --> 00:19:19.599 action begins to feel limiting. Core tension, 00:19:19.859 --> 00:19:22.539 self -expression versus objectivity. Maturity 00:19:22.539 --> 00:19:25.180 lesson, leadership matures when vision exceeds 00:19:25.180 --> 00:19:29.000 ego. Example six, Mars and Virgo, sixth house, 00:19:29.019 --> 00:19:32.039 Mercury and Sagittarius, ninth house. Externally, 00:19:32.299 --> 00:19:34.680 action is precise, service -based, and problem 00:19:34.680 --> 00:19:37.200 -solving. Effort is directed toward fixing and 00:19:37.200 --> 00:19:39.799 improving. Internally, the mind seeks meaning, 00:19:39.960 --> 00:19:42.539 philosophy, and broader understanding. Endless 00:19:42.539 --> 00:19:45.579 correction feels mentally suffocating. Core tension, 00:19:46.140 --> 00:19:49.380 detail versus purpose. Maturity lesson, effort 00:19:49.380 --> 00:19:52.779 needs meaning, not just efficiency. Example seven, 00:19:53.039 --> 00:19:55.839 Mars in Libra, seventh house, Mercury in Scorpio, 00:19:56.019 --> 00:19:58.599 eighth house. Externally, action is diplomatic. 00:19:58.839 --> 00:20:01.640 Cautious and relationship centered. Conflict 00:20:01.640 --> 00:20:04.920 is avoided, balance is prioritized. Internally, 00:20:04.960 --> 00:20:07.720 the mind is intense, investigative and uncompromising 00:20:07.720 --> 00:20:10.299 about truth. Politeness without honesty becomes 00:20:10.299 --> 00:20:13.480 unbearable. Core tension, diplomacy versus depth. 00:20:13.940 --> 00:20:16.099 Maturity lesson, truth must not be sacrificed 00:20:16.099 --> 00:20:19.640 for peace. Example eight, Mars and Scorpio, eighth 00:20:19.640 --> 00:20:22.720 house, Mercury and Gemini, third house. Externally, 00:20:22.839 --> 00:20:25.720 action is intense, strategic and survival driven. 00:20:26.000 --> 00:20:29.450 Effort is focused in all or nothing. Internally, 00:20:29.650 --> 00:20:31.990 the mind is curious, restless, and constantly 00:20:31.990 --> 00:20:34.549 shifting perspectives. Mental scattering dilutes 00:20:34.549 --> 00:20:37.849 external power. Core tension, intensity versus 00:20:37.849 --> 00:20:41.410 flexibility. Maturity lesson, adaptability preserves 00:20:41.410 --> 00:20:44.349 strength. Example nine, Mars and Sagittarius, 00:20:44.549 --> 00:20:46.730 ninth house, Mercury and Virgo, sixth house. 00:20:47.019 --> 00:20:49.839 Externally, action is idealistic, adventurous, 00:20:50.000 --> 00:20:52.400 and belief -driven. The person acts for principles 00:20:52.400 --> 00:20:55.660 and causes. Internally, the mind demands practicality, 00:20:56.000 --> 00:20:59.059 method, and tangible usefulness. Idealism without 00:20:59.059 --> 00:21:01.920 execution creates frustration. Core tension, 00:21:02.160 --> 00:21:05.420 belief versus method. Maturity lesson, ideals 00:21:05.420 --> 00:21:08.539 survive only when grounded. Example 10, Mars 00:21:08.539 --> 00:21:11.319 and Pisces, 12th house. Mercury and Aries, first 00:21:11.319 --> 00:21:14.319 house. Externally, action is indirect, sacrificial, 00:21:14.480 --> 00:21:17.359 and often invisible. Energy leaks through confusion 00:21:17.359 --> 00:21:20.140 or over giving. Internally, the mind is sharp, 00:21:20.299 --> 00:21:22.940 decisive, and impatient. Mental urgency clashes 00:21:22.940 --> 00:21:26.039 with passive action. Core tension, surrender 00:21:26.039 --> 00:21:29.400 versus assertion. Maturity lesson, clarity is 00:21:29.400 --> 00:21:32.339 a form of courage. Core principles to take away. 00:21:32.799 --> 00:21:35.539 One, Mars shows how you act. Mercury shows why 00:21:35.539 --> 00:21:38.680 you act. Two, anger appears when Mars moves faster 00:21:38.680 --> 00:21:41.500 than Mercury can justify. Three, anxiety appears 00:21:41.500 --> 00:21:43.579 when Mercury overthinks Mars into paralysis. 00:21:44.089 --> 00:21:46.529 Four, sustainable action happens when instinct 00:21:46.529 --> 00:21:49.470 and intellect cooperate. Maturity is not doing 00:21:49.470 --> 00:21:52.670 more. It is acting with internal clarity. When 00:21:52.670 --> 00:21:55.150 external action Mars and internal action Mercury 00:21:55.150 --> 00:21:58.130 align, effort becomes efficient, courage becomes 00:21:58.130 --> 00:22:00.849 intelligent, and action finally feels right, 00:22:01.490 --> 00:22:02.109 not forced.
