WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:01.720 Good morning ladies and gentlemen, welcome back. 00:00:01.840 --> 00:00:05.519 We are studying Astro Vastu principles. Now let 00:00:05.519 --> 00:00:08.919 us bring in the element of directions. Now everywhere 00:00:08.919 --> 00:00:11.400 I'm using Kalpavashalakna. This is the blind 00:00:11.400 --> 00:00:14.660 chart. Essentially it's Kalpavashalakna or Aries 00:00:14.660 --> 00:00:19.280 Rising. Now we place elements. Each direction 00:00:19.280 --> 00:00:22.320 as you can see on the chart there has an element 00:00:22.320 --> 00:00:25.699 associated. Now don't confuse this element replacement 00:00:25.699 --> 00:00:29.109 with elements of planets or elements of this 00:00:29.109 --> 00:00:32.009 that the other or nakshatras or signs or so on 00:00:32.009 --> 00:00:35.189 these are elements of directions very specific 00:00:35.189 --> 00:00:40.250 please note what do elemental directions bring 00:00:40.250 --> 00:00:44.729 how the five elements carry on your natal karma 00:00:44.729 --> 00:00:49.539 into your living space Planets do not act directly, 00:00:49.799 --> 00:00:52.840 they act through elements. They act through directions. 00:00:53.079 --> 00:00:56.380 If an element is disturbed in space, the planet 00:00:56.380 --> 00:00:59.560 ruling in your chart cannot function clearly. 00:01:00.420 --> 00:01:05.040 If I stick the moon in house number, let's say, 00:01:05.060 --> 00:01:08.159 let's go back to this chart, in the house number 00:01:08.159 --> 00:01:13.159 11 and 12, it's a watery planet and element there 00:01:13.159 --> 00:01:16.480 is fire. Now tell me, water and fire are self 00:01:16.480 --> 00:01:19.159 -destructive, isn't it? Just giving you a random 00:01:19.159 --> 00:01:21.480 example here, so it won't function properly. 00:01:22.219 --> 00:01:25.959 You have to take care of the elements of the 00:01:25.959 --> 00:01:29.359 directions, not the elements of zodiac signs 00:01:29.359 --> 00:01:32.459 or nakshatras or planets. You take the planets, 00:01:32.819 --> 00:01:35.980 yes, but you have to match it with the elements 00:01:35.980 --> 00:01:39.500 there. And that's when the astho -vastu corrections 00:01:39.500 --> 00:01:42.299 come into picture. Let's start from the top. 00:01:43.920 --> 00:01:47.260 ether, space and spirit, North East and the upper 00:01:47.260 --> 00:01:49.700 arc of the grid. So if you see the upper arc 00:01:49.700 --> 00:01:53.200 of this grid, ether, space and spirit are here 00:01:53.200 --> 00:01:57.739 in the North East direction of your house. Okay? 00:01:58.319 --> 00:02:01.840 Ether is potential. It is silence before thought. 00:02:02.019 --> 00:02:04.959 It is meaning before action. It is the meditative 00:02:04.959 --> 00:02:08.240 space in your house. It's the consecrated puja 00:02:08.240 --> 00:02:12.150 space. Many in Vedic tradition in India, many 00:02:12.150 --> 00:02:14.689 of them keep their houses north -eastern space 00:02:14.689 --> 00:02:18.229 for meditation, for prayer, for puja room and 00:02:18.229 --> 00:02:22.270 so on. Psychological expression is one of clarity, 00:02:22.710 --> 00:02:25.870 intuition, faith, inner guidance, sense of being 00:02:25.870 --> 00:02:29.849 held by life itself, by universe, by God, whatever 00:02:29.849 --> 00:02:33.150 you want to call it. It's all the same. Natal 00:02:33.150 --> 00:02:37.039 chart correlation, Jupiter, Ketu. higher intelligence, 00:02:37.560 --> 00:02:41.479 moral compass, life philosophy, not running around 00:02:41.479 --> 00:02:43.879 headless chicken in this world. You're getting 00:02:43.879 --> 00:02:47.719 your guidance from within your center, that is 00:02:47.719 --> 00:02:50.479 the northeast direction. I shall explain this 00:02:50.479 --> 00:02:54.120 when I come more to the vastu part of it. When 00:02:54.120 --> 00:02:57.139 ether is balanced, you know what to do without 00:02:57.139 --> 00:03:00.610 even overthinking it. Life feels guided, not 00:03:00.610 --> 00:03:04.409 forced. Decisions align naturally, not deliberately. 00:03:05.050 --> 00:03:07.770 You are over thinking for all your PhD degrees, 00:03:07.969 --> 00:03:10.810 won't you do anything folks? Even the PhD people 00:03:10.810 --> 00:03:14.849 find this out. When ether is polluted, when the 00:03:14.849 --> 00:03:18.129 direction of North East is polluted in your house, 00:03:18.270 --> 00:03:21.110 it leads to confusion despite you having knowledge. 00:03:21.770 --> 00:03:25.030 Spiritual fatigue. Many people are doing that 00:03:25.030 --> 00:03:28.030 in the world now. Like, where is my God? Where 00:03:28.030 --> 00:03:30.530 is my Allah? Where is my Jesus Christ? When I 00:03:30.530 --> 00:03:33.889 need Him the most? This is fatigue. There's nothing 00:03:33.889 --> 00:03:37.409 wrong with any faith. But it's confusion created 00:03:37.409 --> 00:03:41.030 by Vastu in your house, maybe. Anxiety without 00:03:41.030 --> 00:03:45.289 visible cause. Loss of meaning. Therefore, the 00:03:45.289 --> 00:03:48.069 insight here becomes when heavy objects clutter 00:03:48.069 --> 00:03:51.669 or noise the ether zones, the north eastern zones 00:03:51.669 --> 00:03:54.550 in your house, you are collapsing the guidance 00:03:54.550 --> 00:03:57.610 itself. What the universe is trying to tell you 00:03:57.610 --> 00:04:00.270 or guide you in your daily life with your family, 00:04:00.430 --> 00:04:04.990 with your job, with whatever it is. It is cluttering 00:04:04.990 --> 00:04:07.729 that space. Avoid junk. Avoid putting clocks 00:04:07.729 --> 00:04:10.030 in that space. Everything gets deleted if you 00:04:10.030 --> 00:04:13.810 put clocks. No remedy works until ether is able 00:04:13.810 --> 00:04:18.629 to breathe again. Number two, fire. The East 00:04:18.629 --> 00:04:20.750 and the Southeast are. We are talking about this 00:04:20.750 --> 00:04:23.449 now. We are talking about Aquarius and Pisces, 00:04:23.589 --> 00:04:26.990 the 11th and the 12th house of your chart. Pay 00:04:26.990 --> 00:04:28.930 attention if there are more planets here, by 00:04:28.930 --> 00:04:33.899 the way. Fire is activation. It converts intention 00:04:33.899 --> 00:04:37.379 into motion. Psychological expression will become 00:04:37.379 --> 00:04:41.540 one of confidence, willpower, desire, metabolism, 00:04:42.120 --> 00:04:45.120 courage to act. Both Aquarius and Pisces are. 00:04:45.860 --> 00:04:49.120 Natal chart correlation is Sun, Mars, Venus, 00:04:49.540 --> 00:04:52.300 desire, leadership and ambition. When fire is 00:04:52.300 --> 00:04:54.759 balanced, we are talking like element of the 00:04:54.759 --> 00:04:59.040 space, the direction itself. When fire is balanced, 00:04:59.259 --> 00:05:02.120 motivation feels natural. Healthy appetite for 00:05:02.120 --> 00:05:04.879 life, assertive but not aggressive. Creative 00:05:04.879 --> 00:05:08.579 energy flows properly. When fire is excessive, 00:05:09.360 --> 00:05:12.920 anger, burnout, impulsivity, conflict. When fire 00:05:12.920 --> 00:05:16.300 is deficient, you have a fear of starting. Mars, 00:05:16.439 --> 00:05:20.600 people keep telling Mars is merific. Chief, if 00:05:20.600 --> 00:05:23.100 you don't have Mars, you can't function. Debilitated 00:05:23.100 --> 00:05:25.279 Mars does not know how to function. They have 00:05:25.279 --> 00:05:28.750 no reasoning, logic, nothing. They are least 00:05:28.750 --> 00:05:31.490 motivated people even if you give them a million 00:05:31.490 --> 00:05:35.649 motivation books. Mars is debilitated. Mars is 00:05:35.649 --> 00:05:38.189 what your fear, courage is, a innate sense of 00:05:38.189 --> 00:05:43.170 courage, action, low vitality, indecision, suppressed 00:05:43.170 --> 00:05:47.389 desire. Astro Vastu says, Mars problems, Venus 00:05:47.389 --> 00:05:50.790 problems, quote unquote, are actually fire distribution 00:05:50.790 --> 00:05:54.149 problems, not personality flaws. Important one, 00:05:54.149 --> 00:05:58.620 isn't it? Third one, the earth, south and southwest 00:05:58.620 --> 00:06:04.279 arc, this. Starting from Capricorn which is Dhammasekh, 00:06:04.319 --> 00:06:09.060 earth. Going to Sagittarius and going to Scorpio. 00:06:09.120 --> 00:06:12.899 So let's say the 8th, 9th and 10th house of your 00:06:12.899 --> 00:06:15.720 chart. Earth is structure. It gives form, weight 00:06:15.720 --> 00:06:18.920 and stability. The psychological expression here 00:06:18.920 --> 00:06:21.420 being of security, responsibility, endurance, 00:06:21.959 --> 00:06:24.939 boundaries, capacity to hold life. The neutral 00:06:24.939 --> 00:06:27.660 chart expression here being Saturn, Rahu, material 00:06:27.660 --> 00:06:30.639 anchoring, carrier, stability, long -term wealth. 00:06:30.920 --> 00:06:34.680 These are all highly tamasic areas, okay? Because 00:06:34.680 --> 00:06:37.899 Sun is sitting here and I'll come to those days 00:06:37.899 --> 00:06:41.939 in the next one probably. When Earth is balanced, 00:06:42.180 --> 00:06:45.180 you make steady progress, emotional grounding, 00:06:45.600 --> 00:06:48.300 reliable routines, carrier solidity. Remember 00:06:48.300 --> 00:06:51.579 we are talking about directions of the... elements 00:06:51.579 --> 00:06:54.160 of the directions, not necessarily the planets. 00:06:55.040 --> 00:06:57.959 When Earth is excessive, stagnation, depression, 00:06:58.420 --> 00:07:01.339 over attachment, fear of change, Scorpio will 00:07:01.339 --> 00:07:05.879 create change, ethos. When Earth is weak, you 00:07:05.879 --> 00:07:09.120 have instability, sudden losses, anxiety about 00:07:09.120 --> 00:07:13.819 future, lack of roots. Scorpio is also your roots, 00:07:13.980 --> 00:07:16.300 everything buried deep underground. Moola nakshatra 00:07:16.300 --> 00:07:19.660 and Sagittarius is all about roots. A weak earth 00:07:19.660 --> 00:07:22.620 zone makes even a strong Saturn placement feel 00:07:22.620 --> 00:07:26.100 punishing instead of rewarding. Number four, 00:07:26.439 --> 00:07:29.439 the water element, west and the lower central. 00:07:30.240 --> 00:07:32.680 This one, essentially cancer, isn't it? That's 00:07:32.680 --> 00:07:36.180 water. And then it goes to air. Water is also 00:07:36.180 --> 00:07:41.720 your west house. So, west as well as the north 00:07:41.720 --> 00:07:46.660 directions are water elements. Having watery 00:07:46.660 --> 00:07:49.199 elements like let's say fountain or paintings 00:07:49.199 --> 00:07:54.000 with blue color is helpful in these areas. Water 00:07:54.000 --> 00:07:57.199 is processing. It digests, experiences emotion. 00:07:57.879 --> 00:08:00.220 The psychological expression in this case being 00:08:00.220 --> 00:08:03.040 emotional intelligence, memory, adaptation, pleasure 00:08:03.040 --> 00:08:06.480 and grief processing. In natal chart how that 00:08:06.480 --> 00:08:08.560 will play out. Moon and Venus, both are watery 00:08:08.560 --> 00:08:11.860 planets, both are Brahmana planets. Emotional 00:08:11.860 --> 00:08:15.500 bonding, emotional body. subconscious patterns. 00:08:16.240 --> 00:08:18.920 When water is balanced, you have emotional resilience, 00:08:19.279 --> 00:08:22.459 good sleep, healthy relationships, creative flow. 00:08:22.680 --> 00:08:25.180 And I'll put the places of the house later in 00:08:25.180 --> 00:08:27.680 the later slides. Why I'm unpacking this slowly 00:08:27.680 --> 00:08:30.920 is unless these things are understood properly, 00:08:31.019 --> 00:08:33.799 you'll get really mixed up between zodiac sign 00:08:33.799 --> 00:08:36.240 elements and planetary elements and directional 00:08:36.240 --> 00:08:39.220 elements. It's really becoming a head spin then. 00:08:40.200 --> 00:08:43.039 When water is excessive, it becomes mood swings. 00:08:43.340 --> 00:08:46.759 over attachment, emotional overwhelm, financial 00:08:46.759 --> 00:08:50.139 leakage. When water is deficient, it becomes 00:08:50.139 --> 00:08:53.379 emotional numbness, dryness in relationship. 00:08:53.899 --> 00:08:57.059 Water needs Venus and moon are wet planets. They 00:08:57.059 --> 00:09:00.919 need some place to land in. If you put them in 00:09:00.919 --> 00:09:03.679 fire sign, for example, if you stick Venus in 00:09:03.679 --> 00:09:05.960 Aquarius thinking I'll get all the money, it 00:09:05.960 --> 00:09:09.840 is drying up your relationship. Be careful. Inability 00:09:09.840 --> 00:09:14.049 to rest, burnout. Moon absorbs space faster than 00:09:14.049 --> 00:09:17.549 any planet. So does Mercury. If water zones are 00:09:17.549 --> 00:09:20.690 unstable, emotional stability is impossible. 00:09:22.110 --> 00:09:26.769 5. Air. This arc. Fifth and sixth house is air. 00:09:28.149 --> 00:09:31.470 The northwest arc. Air is movement and change. 00:09:31.730 --> 00:09:34.370 It connects all other elements. The cyclotric 00:09:34.370 --> 00:09:37.409 expression here being thoughts, communication, 00:09:37.809 --> 00:09:40.029 social interaction, nervous system, Mercury. 00:09:41.039 --> 00:09:44.419 Natal correlation, there you go, Makiri, moon. 00:09:44.559 --> 00:09:47.580 Moon as the aspect of mind, Manas as they call 00:09:47.580 --> 00:09:51.759 it. Networking, trade and information flow. When 00:09:51.759 --> 00:09:55.700 air is balanced, remember moon is also Manas. 00:09:56.320 --> 00:09:59.100 Study the Purusha Sukta, I don't need to speak 00:09:59.100 --> 00:10:02.299 much. When air is balanced, clear communication, 00:10:02.580 --> 00:10:05.899 mental agility, smooth transitions and adaptability 00:10:05.899 --> 00:10:09.419 occurs. When air is excessive, you have anxiety, 00:10:09.639 --> 00:10:11.759 you have restlessness, you are over thinking, 00:10:11.919 --> 00:10:16.340 inability to sleep, insomnia. When air is blocked, 00:10:16.440 --> 00:10:19.360 you have stagnant ideas, social withdrawal, poor 00:10:19.360 --> 00:10:23.000 communication, fear of change. Air imbalances 00:10:23.000 --> 00:10:26.620 the root of modern anxiety disorders. Psychologists 00:10:26.620 --> 00:10:31.039 pay attention in astrovascular diagnosis. So 00:10:31.039 --> 00:10:34.860 the elemental loop is ether, fire, earth, water, 00:10:35.000 --> 00:10:38.500 air, ether. When one element is blocked, the 00:10:38.500 --> 00:10:41.980 loop breaks. You need to have a proper flow of 00:10:41.980 --> 00:10:45.019 energy aligned with your chart. That's what Astro 00:10:45.019 --> 00:10:47.039 Vastu is. Something along the lines of Feng Shui, 00:10:47.100 --> 00:10:49.899 but this goes much deeper. Feng Shui just speaks 00:10:49.899 --> 00:10:53.120 of Qi energy. Astro Vastu is tying it to your 00:10:53.120 --> 00:10:56.799 Vedic Astrology birth chart. The deeper teaching 00:10:56.799 --> 00:11:00.129 here being your natural chart. is not failing 00:11:00.129 --> 00:11:04.029 you. Your living space may need to be re -aligned 00:11:04.029 --> 00:11:08.029 with the elements of the chart. Matching the 00:11:08.029 --> 00:11:10.809 planetary positions in your natal chart. See, 00:11:10.809 --> 00:11:12.750 if you're studying anything in Jyotish, if you're 00:11:12.750 --> 00:11:16.210 going beyond natal chart, it's unnecessary. You 00:11:16.210 --> 00:11:18.850 really haven't understood astrology. People keep 00:11:18.850 --> 00:11:21.950 jumping to Navamsa, this one, Dashaamsa, D10, 00:11:22.029 --> 00:11:24.850 tell me D3, D6. You're running around like a 00:11:24.850 --> 00:11:27.029 headless chicken, trust me. If you can't tell 00:11:27.230 --> 00:11:30.529 Just by natal chat, you do not know Jyotish. 00:11:30.970 --> 00:11:34.269 Astro Vastu corrects fire, so action does not 00:11:34.269 --> 00:11:38.289 burn. Water, so emotion don't drown you. Earth, 00:11:38.470 --> 00:11:41.289 so life does not stagnate. Air, so mind does 00:11:41.289 --> 00:11:44.289 not scatter. Ether, so meaning doesn't collapse. 00:11:45.210 --> 00:11:49.009 Very strong words there. These are the elements 00:11:49.009 --> 00:11:51.809 I went racing through, I understand, but we needed 00:11:51.809 --> 00:11:54.799 to do that. We needed to take care of the elements 00:11:54.799 --> 00:11:57.720 of the directions first before we start jumping 00:11:57.720 --> 00:12:01.740 into details. In the next slide, I shall give 00:12:01.740 --> 00:12:04.679 more and more principles on the same chart. The 00:12:04.679 --> 00:12:07.379 reason being, once it is superimposed, you can 00:12:07.379 --> 00:12:09.799 keep revisiting this podcast and studying more 00:12:09.799 --> 00:12:12.320 and more and more. Your own chart, your own house. 00:12:13.039 --> 00:12:14.399 I'll see you in the next. Take care.
