WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.080 Hey everybody, welcome. Let's take the second 00:00:03.080 --> 00:00:05.940 part of AstroVasto principles and applications. 00:00:06.099 --> 00:00:09.279 Now we deal with seasons in your chart and this 00:00:09.279 --> 00:00:11.519 will explain some geographical things because 00:00:11.519 --> 00:00:13.699 we are dealing with space, we are dealing with 00:00:13.699 --> 00:00:17.059 earth, we are dealing with your home and how 00:00:17.059 --> 00:00:19.760 astrology plays in into that because Jyotish 00:00:19.760 --> 00:00:22.899 is a very holistic science. So you've got to 00:00:22.899 --> 00:00:25.440 understand it from various angles in order to 00:00:25.440 --> 00:00:28.480 really appreciate the depth of it. So back to 00:00:28.480 --> 00:00:32.100 this blank chart. The first house is your eastern 00:00:32.100 --> 00:00:39.439 part of the house. The fourth house is the northern 00:00:39.439 --> 00:00:42.039 part of your chart or northern part of even earth. 00:00:43.600 --> 00:00:46.320 The seventh house, the Kendras, we are dealing 00:00:46.320 --> 00:00:50.380 with Kendras here first. The seventh house is 00:00:50.380 --> 00:00:53.859 the autumn equinox portion of the house and the 00:00:53.859 --> 00:00:57.100 tenth house is the winter solstice or the Capricorn 00:00:57.100 --> 00:01:00.700 portion of your house. This I am talking from 00:01:00.700 --> 00:01:03.320 the Kaal Purusha lagna perspective. That is the 00:01:03.320 --> 00:01:06.519 Aries rising. That's the fundamental basis of 00:01:06.519 --> 00:01:09.219 Jyotish. Kaal Purusha lagna comes first always. 00:01:09.379 --> 00:01:12.140 I have covered this in Jyotish audiobook. You 00:01:12.140 --> 00:01:16.000 can go through that. We are just to do recapping 00:01:16.000 --> 00:01:18.180 principles here for the sake of understanding 00:01:18.180 --> 00:01:22.319 Astro Vastu. What does this mean? Spring equinox? 00:01:22.739 --> 00:01:25.340 What time is it this year, first of all? The 00:01:25.340 --> 00:01:29.790 spring equinox this year is on March 20th, 2026. 00:01:30.170 --> 00:01:32.829 Astrologically speaking, this is where the New 00:01:32.829 --> 00:01:35.269 Year begins for the Vedic tradition. All people 00:01:35.269 --> 00:01:38.829 in India celebrate New Year on this day, on the 00:01:38.829 --> 00:01:42.209 Spring Equinox, when the energy is fresh on the 00:01:42.209 --> 00:01:47.129 planet. Okay? New beginnings come on Spring Equinox. 00:01:47.569 --> 00:01:50.629 Remember, Aries is a Rajas movable male sign. 00:01:50.930 --> 00:01:55.349 Both Aries and Libra are male moving signs. talking 00:01:55.349 --> 00:02:00.049 of 4th house and 10th house cancer is sattvic 00:02:00.049 --> 00:02:03.209 movable female sign on the other side Capricorn 00:02:03.209 --> 00:02:08.610 is tamasic female and fixed sign so movable sign 00:02:08.610 --> 00:02:13.050 sorry so there all these dynamics will play out 00:02:13.050 --> 00:02:18.069 summer solstice is on June 21st 2026 autumn equinox 00:02:18.069 --> 00:02:21.409 this year is on September 23rd 2026 and winter 00:02:21.409 --> 00:02:26.810 solstice is on December 21st of this year. Well, 00:02:26.810 --> 00:02:29.069 we just started January. Let's not jump ahead 00:02:29.069 --> 00:02:32.250 of ourselves, you might say. Why is this important? 00:02:32.509 --> 00:02:35.250 Why are the directions with respect to seasons 00:02:35.250 --> 00:02:38.210 important? We are talking of astrovas through 00:02:38.210 --> 00:02:41.389 the lens of seasonal consciousness. What happens 00:02:41.389 --> 00:02:45.810 in these seasons? The four seasons, the two equinoxes 00:02:45.810 --> 00:02:50.110 and the two solstices. Our energy is spent in 00:02:50.110 --> 00:02:52.990 a year dancing between these four points, you 00:02:52.990 --> 00:02:57.500 might say. Your house is not static. Your natal 00:02:57.500 --> 00:03:00.240 chart is not static. Both move through seasons 00:03:00.240 --> 00:03:02.819 of activations just like nature does. Something 00:03:02.819 --> 00:03:05.080 similar to the Mahadasha, but we are talking 00:03:05.080 --> 00:03:08.159 about seasons here. And I'll come to it in a 00:03:08.159 --> 00:03:10.639 minute why I'm talking seasons is more important 00:03:10.639 --> 00:03:14.699 to understand from your chart perspective. In 00:03:14.699 --> 00:03:17.659 a minute, first let's see the directions. The 00:03:17.659 --> 00:03:21.539 east is the spring equinox. It's a time of birth. 00:03:21.580 --> 00:03:24.479 initiation, awakening, think everything, Aries 00:03:24.479 --> 00:03:28.699 -like. Spring is where life restarts. In Astro 00:03:28.699 --> 00:03:31.680 Vastu, the East is the entry point of consciousness 00:03:31.680 --> 00:03:34.659 into form. Think Ashwini Nakshatra in Aries. 00:03:36.080 --> 00:03:38.780 The sun rises, the breath begins, the intent 00:03:38.780 --> 00:03:41.819 awakens. So in the natal chart, this represents 00:03:41.819 --> 00:03:45.979 new karmic cycles, lagna activation. First time 00:03:45.979 --> 00:03:49.340 experiences, new beginnings, new courage to take 00:03:49.340 --> 00:03:53.750 action, Aries. When East is balanced, you wake 00:03:53.750 --> 00:03:56.509 up with clarity. When we are talking about your 00:03:56.509 --> 00:03:59.530 house, your eastern direction of your home from 00:03:59.530 --> 00:04:02.830 the center of the house. You feel the direction 00:04:02.830 --> 00:04:06.069 in life. Health, confidence and leadership naturally 00:04:06.069 --> 00:04:09.590 arise. When East is blocked, when you have junk 00:04:09.590 --> 00:04:12.949 stored in the eastern direction, confusion starts 00:04:12.949 --> 00:04:15.289 at the start of things. Should I do this? Should 00:04:15.289 --> 00:04:18.970 I do that? Basically a foggy state of mind, you 00:04:18.970 --> 00:04:23.050 might say. delays despite effort, low vitality 00:04:23.050 --> 00:04:26.170 and lack of motivation. If you are having this, 00:04:26.310 --> 00:04:28.610 please check the eastern direction of your house. 00:04:29.649 --> 00:04:33.230 One insight says, if the chart shows Sun, Mars, 00:04:33.389 --> 00:04:38.129 Lagna or Lagna stress, your east is heavy, dark, 00:04:38.569 --> 00:04:41.699 cluttered. you're freezing the spring life keeps 00:04:41.699 --> 00:04:44.399 asking you to begin but the space refuses to 00:04:44.399 --> 00:04:47.800 cooperate you see the dynamics now now we are 00:04:47.800 --> 00:04:51.620 coming slowly step by step into bringing Jyotish 00:04:51.620 --> 00:04:55.240 into your living room into your bedrooms into 00:04:55.240 --> 00:05:00.920 your house number two north that the summer solstice 00:05:00.920 --> 00:05:04.899 north is the summer solstice just a sidebar here 00:05:04.899 --> 00:05:07.819 if you see this from an Aries -Lagna perspective 00:05:08.420 --> 00:05:10.899 4th house is cancer, 10th house is Capricorn. 00:05:10.980 --> 00:05:13.379 Guess why the earth is named Tropic of Cancer 00:05:13.379 --> 00:05:16.740 and Tropic of Capricorn? Tropic of Cancer is 00:05:16.740 --> 00:05:19.220 the north, the northern side of earth. This is 00:05:19.220 --> 00:05:23.000 where the belt comes in. Earth, this Tropic, 00:05:23.100 --> 00:05:25.540 whoever has given these names must have aligned 00:05:25.540 --> 00:05:27.740 it with Jyotish because these are fundamental 00:05:27.740 --> 00:05:31.759 principles of Jyotish. North side of your house 00:05:31.759 --> 00:05:35.970 is cancer. That's why Tropic of Cansep. The southern 00:05:35.970 --> 00:05:39.610 side is Capricorn. That's why Tropic of Capricorn. 00:05:39.870 --> 00:05:42.790 Okay? Just keep that as a side. Somebody has 00:05:42.790 --> 00:05:46.329 done some copy paste here. The north, summer 00:05:46.329 --> 00:05:49.870 solstice, peak expansion. So you have started 00:05:49.870 --> 00:05:53.750 initiation in Aries and as you move through the 00:05:53.750 --> 00:05:57.129 season on earth, you come to the solstice. Solstice 00:05:57.129 --> 00:06:00.430 is where the sun stands still in the sky. Apparently. 00:06:00.670 --> 00:06:04.519 Then it starts moving southward. Peak Expansion 00:06:04.519 --> 00:06:07.199 Visibility Maximum Life Force Summer is where 00:06:07.199 --> 00:06:11.100 the solar energy is at its highest. Sun is exalted 00:06:11.100 --> 00:06:15.019 in Aries. In Zodiacal and Jyotish alignment, 00:06:15.259 --> 00:06:17.819 summer solstice belongs to the North. The climax 00:06:17.819 --> 00:06:21.519 of Uttarayana will come on 14th January. That 00:06:21.519 --> 00:06:24.519 means Sun is entering Capricorn, entering the 00:06:24.519 --> 00:06:29.800 North. Expansion Outward Visibility In Astro 00:06:29.800 --> 00:06:32.540 Vastro, the North governs growth, opportunity, 00:06:32.759 --> 00:06:35.800 mental expansion, circulation of resources, your 00:06:35.800 --> 00:06:39.540 home, your heart, fourth house cancer. In Natal 00:06:39.540 --> 00:06:42.860 chart, it is mercury -driven intelligence, wealth 00:06:42.860 --> 00:06:45.879 flow, career visibility, strategic thinking at 00:06:45.879 --> 00:06:49.980 full power. The total energy of the season is 00:06:49.980 --> 00:06:53.399 there. When the North is balanced, opportunities 00:06:53.399 --> 00:06:56.379 appear naturally. That's why people love to keep 00:06:56.379 --> 00:06:58.910 farm dens and all that in the North. here in 00:06:58.910 --> 00:07:02.069 India. It's a good thing. I'll come to the interior 00:07:02.069 --> 00:07:05.589 decoration part much later on. Thinking is expansive, 00:07:05.970 --> 00:07:09.470 not anxious. Income and ideas circulate smoothly. 00:07:09.810 --> 00:07:12.550 Nervous system feels supported. Your North. How 00:07:12.550 --> 00:07:15.310 to take care of the North in your house? When 00:07:15.310 --> 00:07:17.750 the North is overloaded or blocked, you might 00:07:17.750 --> 00:07:21.329 feel anxiety from excess stimulation or missed 00:07:21.329 --> 00:07:24.750 opportunities despite intelligence. Financial 00:07:24.750 --> 00:07:28.610 stagnation. Over -thinking replaces clarity. 00:07:29.490 --> 00:07:32.970 It's a common problem these days. And AstroVast, 00:07:33.089 --> 00:07:35.550 the insight here is, summer energy wants movement 00:07:35.550 --> 00:07:40.589 and openness. It's a moving sign, cancer. Sattvic. 00:07:41.529 --> 00:07:45.310 Sattvic, movable, female. Female signs are internal 00:07:45.310 --> 00:07:48.170 Sattvic signs. So it's very highly, these are 00:07:48.170 --> 00:07:52.829 only two female Sattvic signs, right? One is 00:07:52.829 --> 00:07:56.899 cancer, next is Pisces. Anyway, digress a block 00:07:56.899 --> 00:08:00.240 north traps expansion turning growth pressure 00:08:00.240 --> 00:08:03.959 into anxiety look something is calling you forward 00:08:03.959 --> 00:08:06.399 and you have been given full power in the summer 00:08:06.399 --> 00:08:09.720 solstice but you're not moving check the things 00:08:09.720 --> 00:08:12.360 in the north section of your house what you have 00:08:12.360 --> 00:08:15.639 what have you kept there and we'll unravel that 00:08:15.639 --> 00:08:19.439 step by step in this the west now the autumn 00:08:19.439 --> 00:08:23.939 equinox the libra point Harvest, evaluation and 00:08:23.939 --> 00:08:27.980 consequences. Autumn is where nature counts results. 00:08:28.240 --> 00:08:31.259 In Astro Vastu, the West is Saturn's field. Saturn 00:08:31.259 --> 00:08:35.399 is exalted in Libra. Karma is ripening. Results 00:08:35.399 --> 00:08:38.080 of past actions. See how karmic stuff is coming 00:08:38.080 --> 00:08:41.039 out to play. In the natal chart, it stands for 00:08:41.039 --> 00:08:44.299 long -term outcomes, reputation, delays, maturity 00:08:44.299 --> 00:08:48.279 and realism. Get real like they say. When the 00:08:48.279 --> 00:08:52.549 West is balanced, You have stable income. You 00:08:52.549 --> 00:08:54.870 have patience with results. You have good partnerships 00:08:54.870 --> 00:08:58.309 with your spouse or businesses. Graceful aging 00:08:58.309 --> 00:09:00.970 of life structures. When the West is blocked 00:09:00.970 --> 00:09:04.389 or neglected, you have endless delays, stuck 00:09:04.389 --> 00:09:07.149 projects, depression and pessimism. Saturn can 00:09:07.149 --> 00:09:09.309 give you pessimism in a heartbeat if you're not 00:09:09.309 --> 00:09:13.409 cautious. Saturn has you to move with slow and 00:09:13.409 --> 00:09:16.629 steady grace. Broken clocks, unused storage, 00:09:16.789 --> 00:09:20.620 junk in the West freezes this time. You're asking 00:09:20.620 --> 00:09:23.100 Saturn for results while telling time to stop. 00:09:24.000 --> 00:09:26.440 That's the kind of approach you're taking. In 00:09:26.440 --> 00:09:31.200 the South now, Capricorn. Winter solstice, withdrawal, 00:09:31.419 --> 00:09:34.259 conservation and inner reorientation happens 00:09:34.259 --> 00:09:38.000 in this direction. Winter is not death. It is 00:09:38.000 --> 00:09:41.179 concentrated intelligence. It's a period of hibernation. 00:09:41.539 --> 00:09:45.480 Look, if you want to look Jyotish more from a 00:09:45.480 --> 00:09:48.019 pure lens perspective, I suggest you look more 00:09:48.019 --> 00:09:52.889 at nature. Nature is still more aligned with 00:09:52.889 --> 00:09:56.950 cosmic cycles of time. Nature goes into hibernation 00:09:56.950 --> 00:09:59.809 during winter time. Animals go into hibernation 00:09:59.809 --> 00:10:02.370 during winter time. They are not dead. They are 00:10:02.370 --> 00:10:05.230 just being silent. They are gathering all their 00:10:05.230 --> 00:10:07.690 inner resources, recharging for the next cycle. 00:10:08.470 --> 00:10:10.490 Humans may have lost their way. Nature has it, 00:10:10.490 --> 00:10:14.820 fortunately. In zodiacal alignment, winter solstice 00:10:14.820 --> 00:10:17.600 belongs to the south, the solar point, lowest 00:10:17.600 --> 00:10:20.759 solar point, the climax of Dakshinayana as it's 00:10:20.759 --> 00:10:24.259 called in Vedic terminology, withdrawal and karmic 00:10:24.259 --> 00:10:28.740 compression. It's a swampy land, Capricorn, it's 00:10:28.740 --> 00:10:31.100 muddy waters, you can't see clearly, you need 00:10:31.100 --> 00:10:34.360 to rest and recuperate during winter. In astrovastu, 00:10:34.460 --> 00:10:37.480 the South now coming to the living space South 00:10:37.480 --> 00:10:40.360 governs conservation of energy physical endurance 00:10:40.360 --> 00:10:43.700 survival intelligence and deep karmic processing 00:10:43.700 --> 00:10:46.799 within the natal chart it may bring about Mars 00:10:46.799 --> 00:10:49.000 discipline that's where Mars works well in the 00:10:49.000 --> 00:10:53.080 10th house Saturn endurance Saturn's own place 00:10:53.080 --> 00:10:56.759 Capricorn handling pressure responsibility and 00:10:56.759 --> 00:11:00.340 fatigue body and karma interface now you get 00:11:00.340 --> 00:11:03.769 physical because it's the tamasic sign When south 00:11:03.769 --> 00:11:06.970 is balanced, rest feels restorative. We all need 00:11:06.970 --> 00:11:10.149 rest. It's not called laziness. It's called rest. 00:11:10.889 --> 00:11:13.649 Discipline strengthens. Physical energy is conserved 00:11:13.649 --> 00:11:18.590 wisely. You know when not to act, etc. When it 00:11:18.590 --> 00:11:21.750 is disbalanced or disturbed, how does it show 00:11:21.750 --> 00:11:25.490 up? South direction of your chat. Burn out without 00:11:25.490 --> 00:11:28.809 effort. You're just feeling like a jellyfish 00:11:28.809 --> 00:11:31.269 and lying in the bed all day looking at Netflix. 00:11:31.799 --> 00:11:36.419 Modern interpretation. Laziness masked as exhaustion, 00:11:37.159 --> 00:11:40.700 anger or suppressed frustration, fear of responsibility. 00:11:41.919 --> 00:11:44.340 A strong vast insight here is winter teaches 00:11:44.340 --> 00:11:49.039 how to hold energy without collapsing. Big theme 00:11:49.039 --> 00:11:51.519 in the modern living, isn't it? Too much of stress 00:11:51.519 --> 00:11:54.220 and anxiety, too much of performance in every 00:11:54.220 --> 00:11:57.370 damn thing. You're not here as a stage drama, 00:11:57.769 --> 00:12:00.029 folks. You're individual consciousness. You're 00:12:00.029 --> 00:12:02.450 not here to perform. Let it be for anyone. Let 00:12:02.450 --> 00:12:04.889 it be for family, spouse, cooperation, blah, 00:12:05.129 --> 00:12:09.450 blah, blah. A chaotic South turns rest into stagnation 00:12:09.450 --> 00:12:12.730 and effort into burnout. Now, there is also the 00:12:12.730 --> 00:12:15.929 center, the axis of all seasons. It is called 00:12:15.929 --> 00:12:19.919 the Brahmastan center of your house. This is 00:12:19.919 --> 00:12:22.179 the most important part of your house. This center 00:12:22.179 --> 00:12:25.279 is where seasons rotate. Karma dissolves. Ketu 00:12:25.279 --> 00:12:28.360 resides. If the center is blocked, life feels 00:12:28.360 --> 00:12:30.860 directionless. Be careful of what you put things 00:12:30.860 --> 00:12:33.159 in the center of your house because it's guiding 00:12:33.159 --> 00:12:36.340 all the rest. All seasons malfunction. Health 00:12:36.340 --> 00:12:41.500 and clarity collapse randomly. Astro Vastu always 00:12:41.500 --> 00:12:44.259 checks the center before correcting the directions. 00:12:45.759 --> 00:12:49.679 So, the big truth of this to conclude. Your birth 00:12:49.679 --> 00:12:51.700 chart does not act at all at once. Different 00:12:51.700 --> 00:12:55.899 planetary energies wake up seasonally. Now, different 00:12:55.899 --> 00:12:58.779 planets. Let me come to that part of things here. 00:12:59.279 --> 00:13:03.559 How does it work? Let us back to this. Where 00:13:03.559 --> 00:13:07.919 you should take care of things, speaking planetary 00:13:07.919 --> 00:13:12.340 and speaking in terms of AstroVastu, let us say 00:13:12.340 --> 00:13:15.759 in your chart, your Rahu -Ketu axis is like this, 00:13:15.879 --> 00:13:18.320 as shown on the screen. North -South. North -Rahu. 00:13:20.390 --> 00:13:24.250 South Ketu for example Both look similar, but 00:13:24.250 --> 00:13:26.990 yeah, let us say this is the arrangement Okay, 00:13:27.450 --> 00:13:29.710 that means you have a cancer capricorn axis. 00:13:29.809 --> 00:13:32.509 That means you have a Rahu -Ketu in the solstice 00:13:32.509 --> 00:13:36.370 axis because it is 180 degrees apart You need 00:13:36.370 --> 00:13:39.490 to take care what things you have placed in this 00:13:39.490 --> 00:13:42.950 and since Rahu -Ketu are very karmically related 00:13:42.950 --> 00:13:47.500 principles nodes You might want to do more ceremonies 00:13:47.500 --> 00:13:50.600 around solstice time, both summer and winter 00:13:50.600 --> 00:13:53.500 solstice. These people will be affected by solstices. 00:13:53.940 --> 00:13:57.639 Itra Ho Ketu is 410 axis. On the other hand, 00:13:57.980 --> 00:14:03.019 if it goes to north -south axis like that, east 00:14:03.019 --> 00:14:06.279 -west axis, sorry, from north -south it is going 00:14:06.279 --> 00:14:10.019 to east -west. What happens here? You are more 00:14:10.019 --> 00:14:13.340 tuned in... in your body and in your house to 00:14:13.340 --> 00:14:16.360 work during equinoxes, both the equinoxes, because 00:14:16.360 --> 00:14:19.440 Rahu and Ketu stand 180 degrees apart in your 00:14:19.440 --> 00:14:23.200 chart. That's one aspect. What about the planets? 00:14:23.340 --> 00:14:26.360 If the planets are bunched in different houses, 00:14:26.580 --> 00:14:28.360 conjunctions, you've got to take care. Suppose 00:14:28.360 --> 00:14:31.059 they are in South, in Capricorn, like I've shown, 00:14:31.179 --> 00:14:34.320 the seven planets. Then you have to do something 00:14:34.320 --> 00:14:38.039 during winter solstice. If it is in spring equinox, 00:14:38.039 --> 00:14:41.519 you have to do something on March 20th. ceremonies, 00:14:42.240 --> 00:14:45.240 your rites, rituals, your pujas, your homas, 00:14:46.059 --> 00:14:48.820 whatever Vedic fire rituals we carry out, you 00:14:48.820 --> 00:14:50.899 should tune it so that it occurs on that time. 00:14:50.980 --> 00:14:53.860 If it happens in cancer or not direction of your 00:14:53.860 --> 00:14:56.960 house, you have to take care of somersault stress, 00:14:57.460 --> 00:15:01.399 folks. And so is autumn equinox. This is how 00:15:01.399 --> 00:15:04.580 astrology starts playing up in your chart. I 00:15:04.580 --> 00:15:07.539 shall see you in the next. Meanwhile, take care. 00:15:07.580 --> 00:15:08.120 Be safe.
