WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.779 Good morning, my wonderful people. Welcome back. 00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:06.360 Yesterday, I spoke of intimacy in terms of these 00:00:06.360 --> 00:00:10.880 fundamental principles, if you remember. At the 00:00:10.880 --> 00:00:15.539 heart of intimacy is always expansion of consciousness. 00:00:15.800 --> 00:00:18.260 I want you to remember that tagline. Just keep 00:00:18.260 --> 00:00:22.339 that tagline. And if with your partner you are 00:00:22.339 --> 00:00:25.879 doing one or more of any one of these, if you're 00:00:25.879 --> 00:00:28.219 nurturing, if you're practicing kindness, if 00:00:28.219 --> 00:00:31.760 you're practicing freedom of the other, in addition 00:00:31.760 --> 00:00:34.939 to freedom of yourself, if you're allowing the 00:00:34.939 --> 00:00:38.000 other person to be as they are, and other person 00:00:38.000 --> 00:00:41.219 should allow you to be as you are, if you are 00:00:41.219 --> 00:00:43.399 practicing empathy with one another, we go through 00:00:43.399 --> 00:00:46.689 situations of life. all mahadashas discovered 00:00:46.689 --> 00:00:48.829 in this channel, you can see what periods each 00:00:48.829 --> 00:00:52.729 one goes through. Right? So you practice empathy. 00:00:52.929 --> 00:00:57.130 Don't try to pretend understanding place. You 00:00:57.130 --> 00:00:59.670 cannot truly understand the other. There are 00:00:59.670 --> 00:01:02.049 8 billion people on this planet. Each one is 00:01:02.049 --> 00:01:05.250 living in its own universe, in its own time frame, 00:01:05.689 --> 00:01:08.030 in its own soul evolution path. There's so many 00:01:08.030 --> 00:01:11.829 things, isn't it? And also if you're practicing 00:01:11.829 --> 00:01:16.049 vulnerability, being open without ego, being 00:01:16.049 --> 00:01:19.549 vulnerable in front of the other because all 00:01:19.549 --> 00:01:21.549 in all we are just human don't try to make it 00:01:21.549 --> 00:01:26.989 something godly here okay consciousness is expanding 00:01:26.989 --> 00:01:29.629 your consciousness and the consciousness of the 00:01:29.629 --> 00:01:33.370 other is having an expansion whenever one or 00:01:33.370 --> 00:01:37.609 more of these are being practiced this is a practice 00:01:37.609 --> 00:01:41.530 this is a choice intimacy is one of the great 00:01:41.530 --> 00:01:45.530 gifts of humanity Other animals may not be that 00:01:45.530 --> 00:01:48.569 intimate. Other animals and primates, they are 00:01:48.569 --> 00:01:50.969 all basically functioning from instinct. We all 00:01:50.969 --> 00:01:54.670 know this. They are not having these kind of 00:01:54.670 --> 00:01:59.870 gifts. So humanity, man and woman, in this case 00:01:59.870 --> 00:02:04.069 intimacy can be practiced, it can be chosen and 00:02:04.069 --> 00:02:06.849 woven into the fabric of our daily living, into 00:02:06.849 --> 00:02:10.039 the fabric of our society even. You can apply 00:02:10.039 --> 00:02:12.300 all these concepts even to our society and the 00:02:12.300 --> 00:02:14.699 way we structure our living. Is it centered around 00:02:14.699 --> 00:02:19.379 this? I ask you. So think about this. But today 00:02:19.379 --> 00:02:23.139 I want you to get deeper. I am introducing a 00:02:23.139 --> 00:02:25.740 deeper layer about which planets. We are talking 00:02:25.740 --> 00:02:29.120 about Mercury, Venus and Moon, isn't it? So what 00:02:29.120 --> 00:02:32.919 role does Mercury, Venus and Moon play in terms 00:02:32.919 --> 00:02:36.259 of intimacy? See Jyotish is a very holistic science. 00:02:37.099 --> 00:02:39.620 Every planet has multiple meanings, multiple 00:02:39.620 --> 00:02:42.800 significations. So let's see that in a bit. So 00:02:42.800 --> 00:02:46.680 on your screen in front of you now you have three 00:02:46.680 --> 00:02:51.360 planets Venus, Moon and Mercury. Now I have listed 00:02:51.360 --> 00:02:54.500 the qualities and characteristics which will 00:02:54.500 --> 00:02:57.599 closely relate to intimacy since we are speaking 00:02:57.599 --> 00:03:01.500 on the topic. What does each planet provide in 00:03:01.500 --> 00:03:04.680 Jyotish, in Vedic Astrology in terms of intimacy? 00:03:04.759 --> 00:03:08.240 Now Everyone has all nine planets and points 00:03:08.240 --> 00:03:11.919 and ascendant and all the rest of it. How you 00:03:11.919 --> 00:03:14.960 apply it depends first upon the depth of your 00:03:14.960 --> 00:03:17.460 knowledge about it. If you don't know what the 00:03:17.460 --> 00:03:19.719 planet stands for, it's just a symbol. It doesn't 00:03:19.719 --> 00:03:23.439 mean anything in my life, you might say. So let's 00:03:23.439 --> 00:03:26.919 examine what it is. Venus. In terms of intimacy, 00:03:27.139 --> 00:03:30.319 what does it stand for? Your value system, your 00:03:30.319 --> 00:03:33.680 eyes, your inner perception. What is your inner 00:03:33.680 --> 00:03:38.439 perception? Inside your deepest psychological 00:03:38.439 --> 00:03:42.800 point, inside yourself, how do you perceive the 00:03:42.800 --> 00:03:45.819 world in terms of beauty? Because Venus is aesthetic 00:03:45.819 --> 00:03:49.000 sense. What is your aesthetic sense like? It 00:03:49.000 --> 00:03:51.639 has a color. Everybody has a Venus in the chart. 00:03:51.939 --> 00:03:56.659 The colors change. So inner perception is Venus. 00:03:57.020 --> 00:04:01.379 Sexual organs are Venus. Libra. Value system 00:04:01.379 --> 00:04:05.449 is Venus. Taurus. All these are tied very closely 00:04:05.449 --> 00:04:09.090 in Jyotish, why it is given certain houses even. 00:04:10.349 --> 00:04:12.930 The creation of beauty is Venus. You might look 00:04:12.930 --> 00:04:15.550 at all the ancient civilizations, especially 00:04:15.550 --> 00:04:18.009 as ancient as India, for example, one of the 00:04:18.009 --> 00:04:21.750 oldest, maybe the oldest. You see all these grand 00:04:21.750 --> 00:04:25.949 temples, intricate carvings, fantastic temples, 00:04:27.029 --> 00:04:29.329 like feats of engineering which we cannot even 00:04:29.329 --> 00:04:33.209 do today. Some people did back then. You can 00:04:33.209 --> 00:04:35.670 see the gorgeous temples of India, for example. 00:04:36.410 --> 00:04:39.769 Why were they creating that as their way of living, 00:04:40.110 --> 00:04:43.709 you might ask? Well, they were creation of beauty. 00:04:43.889 --> 00:04:46.730 They were engaging their Venus very powerfully 00:04:46.730 --> 00:04:49.490 in the world. They were manifesting Venus. They 00:04:49.490 --> 00:04:54.529 respected Venus. Aesthetic sense, all your creation 00:04:54.529 --> 00:04:57.649 of beauty was appreciated in externalizing that. 00:04:57.670 --> 00:05:00.370 Even the grand pyramids of Giza, for example, 00:05:00.589 --> 00:05:03.420 in Egypt. Why were these ancients creating these 00:05:03.420 --> 00:05:08.000 magnificent structures using Vastu, using principles 00:05:08.000 --> 00:05:10.800 of sacred geometry and all of this? That's Venus. 00:05:12.660 --> 00:05:15.899 Venus also stands for the water element. Venus 00:05:15.899 --> 00:05:18.959 and moon both are water elements. I'll come to 00:05:18.959 --> 00:05:21.420 that in a minute. So water element has everything 00:05:21.420 --> 00:05:25.079 to do with your body. Your body is 99 % water, 00:05:25.500 --> 00:05:28.930 isn't it? Biologically speaking. So if you take 00:05:28.930 --> 00:05:31.750 care of Venus and Moon properly, you're taking 00:05:31.750 --> 00:05:34.949 care of your water body. You're taking care of 00:05:34.949 --> 00:05:37.829 how your entire body -mind functions because 00:05:37.829 --> 00:05:40.009 water is running through every cell of yours. 00:05:41.389 --> 00:05:44.569 Mercury on the other hand, bottom of the screen, 00:05:45.029 --> 00:05:48.389 stands for intelligence. It stands for innocence. 00:05:48.589 --> 00:05:51.269 Mercury stands for children. Mercury stands for 00:05:51.269 --> 00:05:55.689 playgrounds. Mercury is where things are youthful, 00:05:56.170 --> 00:06:00.769 childlike. Innocence is mercury. Play is mercury. 00:06:01.230 --> 00:06:04.569 All playgrounds are the karakas of mercury. If 00:06:04.569 --> 00:06:07.649 you are living next to a playground, mercury 00:06:07.649 --> 00:06:11.709 is very strong in your chart. See there? Play 00:06:11.709 --> 00:06:16.990 is mercury. Childlike innocence is mercury. Skin 00:06:16.990 --> 00:06:20.430 is mercury. In terms of organ, skin is mercury. 00:06:20.699 --> 00:06:23.639 Nerves are mercury also. I haven't added that, 00:06:23.819 --> 00:06:27.600 but yeah, skin and nerves both are mercury. So 00:06:27.600 --> 00:06:30.160 in terms of intimacy, it might be touch. It might 00:06:30.160 --> 00:06:34.120 be how you are touching your partner. Is it appropriate? 00:06:34.279 --> 00:06:36.660 Is it not appropriate? We teach this to our children. 00:06:37.759 --> 00:06:41.379 Appropriate touch. What is the right touch? Mercury 00:06:41.379 --> 00:06:44.560 is that. Mercury is your logical sense. Your 00:06:44.560 --> 00:06:46.800 analytical mind is Mercury, wherever you are 00:06:46.800 --> 00:06:48.879 applying. In terms of intimacy, you've got to 00:06:48.879 --> 00:06:51.100 understand your partner. That's what I'm bringing 00:06:51.100 --> 00:06:55.540 here, understanding. It also stands for the earth 00:06:55.540 --> 00:06:58.120 element. It also stands in addition to the skin, 00:06:58.259 --> 00:07:03.180 your sense of smell is Mercury. Flowering plants 00:07:03.180 --> 00:07:06.300 are Mercury. Plants like decorative plants, we 00:07:06.300 --> 00:07:09.740 have so many these days in our houses. That's 00:07:09.740 --> 00:07:13.720 your Mercury, okay? So people put flowering plants. 00:07:13.980 --> 00:07:15.560 Take care of your flowering plants. Take care 00:07:15.560 --> 00:07:19.500 of flowers. Flowers are mercury. Root is Jupiter. 00:07:20.259 --> 00:07:24.339 Flower is mercury. The earth element. Everything 00:07:24.339 --> 00:07:28.019 earthy is mercury. So if you want to ground your 00:07:28.019 --> 00:07:30.959 intimacy, speaking in terms of intimacy, now 00:07:30.959 --> 00:07:33.819 you have to really address the mercury and how 00:07:33.819 --> 00:07:36.199 it is functioning in your chart. Everybody has 00:07:36.199 --> 00:07:38.480 a mercury. Mercury doesn't disappear from somebody's 00:07:38.480 --> 00:07:42.009 chart. Let's be real here. So it's the earth 00:07:42.009 --> 00:07:44.629 element, it's the skin, it's your sense of smell. 00:07:44.769 --> 00:07:47.569 How are you decorating your living room? Is it 00:07:47.569 --> 00:07:51.769 perfumed? Is your house having nice perfumes? 00:07:52.310 --> 00:07:55.569 Do you light a dhoop or a deep, for example? 00:07:58.009 --> 00:08:00.990 Last comes the moon. Well, it should be the first 00:08:00.990 --> 00:08:03.329 really, because you're doing moon matching. The 00:08:03.329 --> 00:08:05.129 same principles which I'm doing for moon, by 00:08:05.129 --> 00:08:07.089 the way, apply to these other two planets as 00:08:07.089 --> 00:08:13.670 well, okay? Just so you know. 1 -3, 1 -4, 4 -10, 00:08:14.050 --> 00:08:17.430 3 -11, 1 -7, all these principles I am explaining. 00:08:18.529 --> 00:08:20.930 Moon stands for emotional. Moon is your emotional 00:08:20.930 --> 00:08:24.329 body. Moon is peace, cancer. The fourth house 00:08:24.329 --> 00:08:28.089 is peace. We all desire peace in whatever way 00:08:28.089 --> 00:08:31.170 of functioning, more so in intimacy. You do not 00:08:31.170 --> 00:08:33.769 want to be partnered and have a battleground. 00:08:34.190 --> 00:08:36.750 That's not what the object was to begin with. 00:08:36.929 --> 00:08:39.450 Nobody wants this. Why are we doing that is the 00:08:39.450 --> 00:08:41.669 question then. The lack of understanding is where 00:08:41.669 --> 00:08:45.870 I am coming from. Moon is peace. Moon is the 00:08:45.870 --> 00:08:48.450 heart. Your heart center. Center of your chest. 00:08:48.909 --> 00:08:52.570 That's moon. That's your subconscious mind also. 00:08:52.889 --> 00:08:55.509 Very deep. That's why moon power for the inner 00:08:55.509 --> 00:08:58.370 nature means a person is highly intuitive. Moon 00:08:58.370 --> 00:09:01.590 aspected by Ketu is seriously intuitive. Okay? 00:09:02.409 --> 00:09:06.610 Moon is your emotional intelligence also What 00:09:06.610 --> 00:09:08.590 we call emotional intelligence in mainstream 00:09:08.590 --> 00:09:13.090 psychology is moon in Vedic astrology And it 00:09:13.090 --> 00:09:17.370 is the water element So Venus and moon both are 00:09:17.370 --> 00:09:19.470 water element. What's the difference in terms 00:09:19.470 --> 00:09:22.289 of physical reality? Moon is the flowing water 00:09:22.289 --> 00:09:25.049 cancer is flowing water like the rivers like 00:09:25.049 --> 00:09:31.600 waves in the ocean Venus is more like the element 00:09:31.600 --> 00:09:38.299 of water itself, H2O. Venus goes to the DNA level, 00:09:38.460 --> 00:09:42.799 the molecular level of things. So Venus and Moon 00:09:42.799 --> 00:09:45.120 put together. Mercury stands for the earth element. 00:09:45.279 --> 00:09:49.080 Mercury stands for trees. This is why people 00:09:49.080 --> 00:09:52.000 feel most peace when they go to places where 00:09:52.000 --> 00:09:54.299 river is flowing. If you want to improve all 00:09:54.299 --> 00:09:56.740 these three planets, go stick your feet in a 00:09:56.740 --> 00:09:59.679 river, in a flowing river next to the stream 00:09:59.679 --> 00:10:02.200 in a forest. See, this is why we love forests, 00:10:02.419 --> 00:10:05.000 this is why we love oceans, because it has all 00:10:05.000 --> 00:10:07.860 these elements. Palm trees next to the ocean, 00:10:08.659 --> 00:10:11.600 Venus, Moon and Mercury, all three together. 00:10:11.980 --> 00:10:14.399 Now let's see the details of the nakshatras. 00:10:15.019 --> 00:10:18.360 Now we come to the last good match of mrikshira, 00:10:18.779 --> 00:10:24.019 which is to say, ladies Mercury, Moon is in mrikshira, 00:10:25.039 --> 00:10:28.600 and the man's Moon is sitting in Ashwini nakshatra. 00:10:29.159 --> 00:10:31.899 If you remember the rules, I am trying to match 00:10:31.899 --> 00:10:35.759 Ganas first. Gana has to be matched. Don't try 00:10:35.759 --> 00:10:38.059 to mismatch the Ganas, it will be a disaster. 00:10:39.139 --> 00:10:42.820 So, what does this dynamic gives us? Let's briefly 00:10:42.820 --> 00:10:46.840 run through it. Brikshira in Gemini being a man 00:10:46.840 --> 00:10:50.879 of curiosity, questioning, lot of mental movements, 00:10:51.100 --> 00:10:54.460 so pay attention to Mankiri also here. Dialogue 00:10:54.460 --> 00:10:58.399 driven bonding. adaptability, networking and 00:10:58.399 --> 00:11:01.700 ideas exploration. Mrikshira is like the constant 00:11:01.700 --> 00:11:06.559 investigator paradigm you might say. Ashwini 00:11:06.559 --> 00:11:09.879 in Aries is highly moving. This is an Ashwini, 00:11:10.120 --> 00:11:14.580 isn't it? Speed, instinct, courage, action first, 00:11:14.919 --> 00:11:19.340 emotions later kind of. Very driven person. Spark 00:11:19.340 --> 00:11:23.120 and rapid attachment. Detachment also if you're 00:11:23.120 --> 00:11:28.000 not careful. gives us the leaven three axis signature 00:11:28.000 --> 00:11:31.559 what does that mean it's the signature of this 00:11:31.559 --> 00:11:36.139 relationship which becomes gains to effort leaven 00:11:36.139 --> 00:11:38.980 house is the gain Aquarius typically speaking 00:11:38.980 --> 00:11:43.179 and third from it is effort futuristic vision 00:11:43.179 --> 00:11:45.860 and immediate action Aquarius is very futuristic 00:11:45.860 --> 00:11:49.779 minded technological minded so this gives us 00:11:49.779 --> 00:11:53.320 a signation of leaven Three relationships, signification 00:11:53.320 --> 00:11:57.320 of future vision versus immediate action is Ashwini. 00:11:58.080 --> 00:12:01.399 Ideas exploration, Mrikshira versus execution, 00:12:02.179 --> 00:12:06.080 Ashwini. Friends to lovers tone, these are friends 00:12:06.080 --> 00:12:11.399 who become lovers. Momentum based bonding, that's 00:12:11.399 --> 00:12:13.679 another signature of this relationship. This 00:12:13.679 --> 00:12:18.340 is a growth based movement access. Intimacy builds 00:12:18.340 --> 00:12:21.279 in this kind of relationship by doing, by trying, 00:12:21.460 --> 00:12:24.259 by launching, by learning together. These are 00:12:24.259 --> 00:12:26.779 the signatures. You understand the signatures, 00:12:26.820 --> 00:12:29.340 you can work through this better rather than 00:12:29.340 --> 00:12:32.559 me going on extensive essays here. Marikshira 00:12:32.559 --> 00:12:35.600 stimulates through ideas, conversations and options 00:12:35.600 --> 00:12:38.799 while Ashwini activates through decisions, actions 00:12:38.799 --> 00:12:43.090 and first moves. It's an initiator Ashwini. The 00:12:43.090 --> 00:12:46.610 keywords here being mental excitement, motivational 00:12:46.610 --> 00:12:50.029 chemistry, shared goals, fast bonding and youthful 00:12:50.029 --> 00:12:52.210 energy. This relationship characteristic is like 00:12:52.210 --> 00:12:54.909 that. Everyone will change, we will see that. 00:12:56.269 --> 00:12:58.570 Ashwini becomes the starter, Brikshira becomes 00:12:58.570 --> 00:13:02.230 the connector. Attraction and intimacy tones 00:13:02.230 --> 00:13:05.210 here being playful, very playful energy, very 00:13:05.210 --> 00:13:07.929 highly dynamic, high energy, yes, very very high 00:13:07.929 --> 00:13:11.549 energy relationship. This is a high energy couple. 00:13:12.849 --> 00:13:16.450 sexually spontaneous, very spontaneous, okay? 00:13:17.269 --> 00:13:19.929 Friendship -driven desire. They need to be friends 00:13:19.929 --> 00:13:23.129 first. They are friends for life, so to speak. 00:13:23.710 --> 00:13:26.629 Strong, let's do this chemistry, let's go for 00:13:26.629 --> 00:13:29.590 it. Very highly dynamic, charged relationship. 00:13:30.509 --> 00:13:35.090 This intimacy thrives with travel, with projects, 00:13:35.330 --> 00:13:38.289 with new experiences, exploring different kinds 00:13:38.289 --> 00:13:40.549 of experiences. These two might be even a very 00:13:40.549 --> 00:13:45.029 highly social bird. that couple, verbal, physical 00:13:45.029 --> 00:13:49.610 engagement is necessary. The risk factors now. 00:13:50.289 --> 00:13:53.590 Impatience, scattered focus. If your energy is 00:13:53.590 --> 00:13:56.350 moving too much in this relationship, and you 00:13:56.350 --> 00:13:58.450 want to see Mercury, Venus and other parts as 00:13:58.450 --> 00:14:01.889 well, if energy is moving too much in a relationship, 00:14:03.309 --> 00:14:07.509 the risk factor becomes grounding. So scattered 00:14:07.509 --> 00:14:09.750 focus, too much of going from one thing to another. 00:14:11.460 --> 00:14:13.600 Emotional inconsistency. This can be the risk 00:14:13.600 --> 00:14:16.899 factors. Starting more than sustaining. See, 00:14:16.899 --> 00:14:19.000 there is a grounding element. If there is no 00:14:19.000 --> 00:14:21.679 grounding element present in a chart, between 00:14:21.679 --> 00:14:24.379 the two charts, needle in the vamsha, man and 00:14:24.379 --> 00:14:28.039 woman. This can get very scattered. Therefore, 00:14:28.179 --> 00:14:31.259 it needs more of counselling. Talking versus 00:14:31.259 --> 00:14:33.679 acting imbalance. There is an imbalance which 00:14:33.679 --> 00:14:36.159 can be corrected. This is a choice. Intimacy 00:14:36.159 --> 00:14:39.600 is always a choice. So this relationship could 00:14:39.600 --> 00:14:43.679 fail if action outruns communication or curiosity 00:14:43.679 --> 00:14:47.799 avoids commitment. There has to be some degree 00:14:47.799 --> 00:14:49.919 of commitment in anything, isn't it? Your work, 00:14:50.039 --> 00:14:53.639 any area of your life, work, family, etc, etc. 00:14:54.519 --> 00:14:57.960 This is a high growth, high excitement 11 -3 00:14:57.960 --> 00:15:00.820 pairing, excellent for collaborative efforts. 00:15:01.059 --> 00:15:02.899 Suppose man and woman are doing different things 00:15:02.899 --> 00:15:05.159 in a collaborative way. Suppose they are working 00:15:05.159 --> 00:15:08.649 on projects together. This will succeed. Excellent 00:15:08.649 --> 00:15:11.690 for collaboration, friendship based love and 00:15:11.690 --> 00:15:14.950 for forward momentum. If your life goal is to 00:15:14.950 --> 00:15:17.889 go, I'm going there and I need a partner who 00:15:17.889 --> 00:15:21.169 is with me on this. That's the relationship here. 00:15:21.870 --> 00:15:24.850 Best for those who value movement, stimulation, 00:15:25.710 --> 00:15:28.570 shared ambitions and lively intimacy. Very lively 00:15:28.570 --> 00:15:32.169 couple. Have you seen those? Not ideal for those 00:15:32.169 --> 00:15:35.549 who are seeking emotional depth first, stillness 00:15:35.549 --> 00:15:40.230 or heavy domestic kind of bonding. It's a selection. 00:15:40.629 --> 00:15:43.850 There's a whole buffet of kind of things available 00:15:43.850 --> 00:15:47.669 for us in our lifestyles. But you have to choose 00:15:47.669 --> 00:15:50.669 wisely. You can't have a partner who is more 00:15:50.669 --> 00:15:53.649 earthy and who wants dynamism as well. The two 00:15:53.649 --> 00:15:57.029 are contradictory, isn't it? I shall see you 00:15:57.029 --> 00:16:00.570 in the next one. Meanwhile, take care and be 00:16:00.570 --> 00:16:01.009 safe.
