Hey everybody, welcome. Let's take the second
part of AstroVasto principles and applications.
Now we deal with seasons in your chart and this
will explain some geographical things because
we are dealing with space, we are dealing with
earth, we are dealing with your home and how
astrology plays in into that because Jyotish
is a very holistic science. So you've got to
understand it from various angles in order to
really appreciate the depth of it. So back to
this blank chart. The first house is your eastern
part of the house. The fourth house is the northern
part of your chart or northern part of even earth.
The seventh house, the Kendras, we are dealing
with Kendras here first. The seventh house is
the autumn equinox portion of the house and the
tenth house is the winter solstice or the Capricorn
portion of your house. This I am talking from
the Kaal Purusha lagna perspective. That is the
Aries rising. That's the fundamental basis of
Jyotish. Kaal Purusha lagna comes first always.
I have covered this in Jyotish audiobook. You
can go through that. We are just to do recapping
principles here for the sake of understanding
Astro Vastu. What does this mean? Spring equinox?
What time is it this year, first of all? The
spring equinox this year is on March 20th, 2026.
Astrologically speaking, this is where the New
Year begins for the Vedic tradition. All people
in India celebrate New Year on this day, on the
Spring Equinox, when the energy is fresh on the
planet. Okay? New beginnings come on Spring Equinox.
Remember, Aries is a Rajas movable male sign.
Both Aries and Libra are male moving signs. talking
of 4th house and 10th house cancer is sattvic
movable female sign on the other side Capricorn
is tamasic female and fixed sign so movable sign
sorry so there all these dynamics will play out
summer solstice is on June 21st 2026 autumn equinox
this year is on September 23rd 2026 and winter
solstice is on December 21st of this year. Well,
we just started January. Let's not jump ahead
of ourselves, you might say. Why is this important?
Why are the directions with respect to seasons
important? We are talking of astrovas through
the lens of seasonal consciousness. What happens
in these seasons? The four seasons, the two equinoxes
and the two solstices. Our energy is spent in
a year dancing between these four points, you
might say. Your house is not static. Your natal
chart is not static. Both move through seasons
of activations just like nature does. Something
similar to the Mahadasha, but we are talking
about seasons here. And I'll come to it in a
minute why I'm talking seasons is more important
to understand from your chart perspective. In
a minute, first let's see the directions. The
east is the spring equinox. It's a time of birth.
initiation, awakening, think everything, Aries
-like. Spring is where life restarts. In Astro
Vastu, the East is the entry point of consciousness
into form. Think Ashwini Nakshatra in Aries.
The sun rises, the breath begins, the intent
awakens. So in the natal chart, this represents
new karmic cycles, lagna activation. First time
experiences, new beginnings, new courage to take
action, Aries. When East is balanced, you wake
up with clarity. When we are talking about your
house, your eastern direction of your home from
the center of the house. You feel the direction
in life. Health, confidence and leadership naturally
arise. When East is blocked, when you have junk
stored in the eastern direction, confusion starts
at the start of things. Should I do this? Should
I do that? Basically a foggy state of mind, you
might say. delays despite effort, low vitality
and lack of motivation. If you are having this,
please check the eastern direction of your house.
One insight says, if the chart shows Sun, Mars,
Lagna or Lagna stress, your east is heavy, dark,
cluttered. you're freezing the spring life keeps
asking you to begin but the space refuses to
cooperate you see the dynamics now now we are
coming slowly step by step into bringing Jyotish
into your living room into your bedrooms into
your house number two north that the summer solstice
north is the summer solstice just a sidebar here
if you see this from an Aries -Lagna perspective
4th house is cancer, 10th house is Capricorn.
Guess why the earth is named Tropic of Cancer
and Tropic of Capricorn? Tropic of Cancer is
the north, the northern side of earth. This is
where the belt comes in. Earth, this Tropic,
whoever has given these names must have aligned
it with Jyotish because these are fundamental
principles of Jyotish. North side of your house
is cancer. That's why Tropic of Cansep. The southern
side is Capricorn. That's why Tropic of Capricorn.
Okay? Just keep that as a side. Somebody has
done some copy paste here. The north, summer
solstice, peak expansion. So you have started
initiation in Aries and as you move through the
season on earth, you come to the solstice. Solstice
is where the sun stands still in the sky. Apparently.
Then it starts moving southward. Peak Expansion
Visibility Maximum Life Force Summer is where
the solar energy is at its highest. Sun is exalted
in Aries. In Zodiacal and Jyotish alignment,
summer solstice belongs to the North. The climax
of Uttarayana will come on 14th January. That
means Sun is entering Capricorn, entering the
North. Expansion Outward Visibility In Astro
Vastro, the North governs growth, opportunity,
mental expansion, circulation of resources, your
home, your heart, fourth house cancer. In Natal
chart, it is mercury -driven intelligence, wealth
flow, career visibility, strategic thinking at
full power. The total energy of the season is
there. When the North is balanced, opportunities
appear naturally. That's why people love to keep
farm dens and all that in the North. here in
India. It's a good thing. I'll come to the interior
decoration part much later on. Thinking is expansive,
not anxious. Income and ideas circulate smoothly.
Nervous system feels supported. Your North. How
to take care of the North in your house? When
the North is overloaded or blocked, you might
feel anxiety from excess stimulation or missed
opportunities despite intelligence. Financial
stagnation. Over -thinking replaces clarity.
It's a common problem these days. And AstroVast,
the insight here is, summer energy wants movement
and openness. It's a moving sign, cancer. Sattvic.
Sattvic, movable, female. Female signs are internal
Sattvic signs. So it's very highly, these are
only two female Sattvic signs, right? One is
cancer, next is Pisces. Anyway, digress a block
north traps expansion turning growth pressure
into anxiety look something is calling you forward
and you have been given full power in the summer
solstice but you're not moving check the things
in the north section of your house what you have
what have you kept there and we'll unravel that
step by step in this the west now the autumn
equinox the libra point Harvest, evaluation and
consequences. Autumn is where nature counts results.
In Astro Vastu, the West is Saturn's field. Saturn
is exalted in Libra. Karma is ripening. Results
of past actions. See how karmic stuff is coming
out to play. In the natal chart, it stands for
long -term outcomes, reputation, delays, maturity
and realism. Get real like they say. When the
West is balanced, You have stable income. You
have patience with results. You have good partnerships
with your spouse or businesses. Graceful aging
of life structures. When the West is blocked
or neglected, you have endless delays, stuck
projects, depression and pessimism. Saturn can
give you pessimism in a heartbeat if you're not
cautious. Saturn has you to move with slow and
steady grace. Broken clocks, unused storage,
junk in the West freezes this time. You're asking
Saturn for results while telling time to stop.
That's the kind of approach you're taking. In
the South now, Capricorn. Winter solstice, withdrawal,
conservation and inner reorientation happens
in this direction. Winter is not death. It is
concentrated intelligence. It's a period of hibernation.
Look, if you want to look Jyotish more from a
pure lens perspective, I suggest you look more
at nature. Nature is still more aligned with
cosmic cycles of time. Nature goes into hibernation
during winter time. Animals go into hibernation
during winter time. They are not dead. They are
just being silent. They are gathering all their
inner resources, recharging for the next cycle.
Humans may have lost their way. Nature has it,
fortunately. In zodiacal alignment, winter solstice
belongs to the south, the solar point, lowest
solar point, the climax of Dakshinayana as it's
called in Vedic terminology, withdrawal and karmic
compression. It's a swampy land, Capricorn, it's
muddy waters, you can't see clearly, you need
to rest and recuperate during winter. In astrovastu,
the South now coming to the living space South
governs conservation of energy physical endurance
survival intelligence and deep karmic processing
within the natal chart it may bring about Mars
discipline that's where Mars works well in the
10th house Saturn endurance Saturn's own place
Capricorn handling pressure responsibility and
fatigue body and karma interface now you get
physical because it's the tamasic sign When south
is balanced, rest feels restorative. We all need
rest. It's not called laziness. It's called rest.
Discipline strengthens. Physical energy is conserved
wisely. You know when not to act, etc. When it
is disbalanced or disturbed, how does it show
up? South direction of your chat. Burn out without
effort. You're just feeling like a jellyfish
and lying in the bed all day looking at Netflix.
Modern interpretation. Laziness masked as exhaustion,
anger or suppressed frustration, fear of responsibility.
A strong vast insight here is winter teaches
how to hold energy without collapsing. Big theme
in the modern living, isn't it? Too much of stress
and anxiety, too much of performance in every
damn thing. You're not here as a stage drama,
folks. You're individual consciousness. You're
not here to perform. Let it be for anyone. Let
it be for family, spouse, cooperation, blah,
blah, blah. A chaotic South turns rest into stagnation
and effort into burnout. Now, there is also the
center, the axis of all seasons. It is called
the Brahmastan center of your house. This is
the most important part of your house. This center
is where seasons rotate. Karma dissolves. Ketu
resides. If the center is blocked, life feels
directionless. Be careful of what you put things
in the center of your house because it's guiding
all the rest. All seasons malfunction. Health
and clarity collapse randomly. Astro Vastu always
checks the center before correcting the directions.
So, the big truth of this to conclude. Your birth
chart does not act at all at once. Different
planetary energies wake up seasonally. Now, different
planets. Let me come to that part of things here.
How does it work? Let us back to this. Where
you should take care of things, speaking planetary
and speaking in terms of AstroVastu, let us say
in your chart, your Rahu -Ketu axis is like this,
as shown on the screen. North -South. North -Rahu.
South Ketu for example Both look similar, but
yeah, let us say this is the arrangement Okay,
that means you have a cancer capricorn axis.
That means you have a Rahu -Ketu in the solstice
axis because it is 180 degrees apart You need
to take care what things you have placed in this
and since Rahu -Ketu are very karmically related
principles nodes You might want to do more ceremonies
around solstice time, both summer and winter
solstice. These people will be affected by solstices.
Itra Ho Ketu is 410 axis. On the other hand,
if it goes to north -south axis like that, east
-west axis, sorry, from north -south it is going
to east -west. What happens here? You are more
tuned in... in your body and in your house to
work during equinoxes, both the equinoxes, because
Rahu and Ketu stand 180 degrees apart in your
chart. That's one aspect. What about the planets?
If the planets are bunched in different houses,
conjunctions, you've got to take care. Suppose
they are in South, in Capricorn, like I've shown,
the seven planets. Then you have to do something
during winter solstice. If it is in spring equinox,
you have to do something on March 20th. ceremonies,
your rites, rituals, your pujas, your homas,
whatever Vedic fire rituals we carry out, you
should tune it so that it occurs on that time.
If it happens in cancer or not direction of your
house, you have to take care of somersault stress,
folks. And so is autumn equinox. This is how
astrology starts playing up in your chart. I
shall see you in the next. Meanwhile, take care.
Be safe.
