Good morning ladies and gentlemen, welcome back.
We are studying Astro Vastu principles. Now let
us bring in the element of directions. Now everywhere
I'm using Kalpavashalakna. This is the blind
chart. Essentially it's Kalpavashalakna or Aries
Rising. Now we place elements. Each direction
as you can see on the chart there has an element
associated. Now don't confuse this element replacement
with elements of planets or elements of this
that the other or nakshatras or signs or so on
these are elements of directions very specific
please note what do elemental directions bring
how the five elements carry on your natal karma
into your living space Planets do not act directly,
they act through elements. They act through directions.
If an element is disturbed in space, the planet
ruling in your chart cannot function clearly.
If I stick the moon in house number, let's say,
let's go back to this chart, in the house number
11 and 12, it's a watery planet and element there
is fire. Now tell me, water and fire are self
-destructive, isn't it? Just giving you a random
example here, so it won't function properly.
You have to take care of the elements of the
directions, not the elements of zodiac signs
or nakshatras or planets. You take the planets,
yes, but you have to match it with the elements
there. And that's when the astho -vastu corrections
come into picture. Let's start from the top.
ether, space and spirit, North East and the upper
arc of the grid. So if you see the upper arc
of this grid, ether, space and spirit are here
in the North East direction of your house. Okay?
Ether is potential. It is silence before thought.
It is meaning before action. It is the meditative
space in your house. It's the consecrated puja
space. Many in Vedic tradition in India, many
of them keep their houses north -eastern space
for meditation, for prayer, for puja room and
so on. Psychological expression is one of clarity,
intuition, faith, inner guidance, sense of being
held by life itself, by universe, by God, whatever
you want to call it. It's all the same. Natal
chart correlation, Jupiter, Ketu. higher intelligence,
moral compass, life philosophy, not running around
headless chicken in this world. You're getting
your guidance from within your center, that is
the northeast direction. I shall explain this
when I come more to the vastu part of it. When
ether is balanced, you know what to do without
even overthinking it. Life feels guided, not
forced. Decisions align naturally, not deliberately.
You are over thinking for all your PhD degrees,
won't you do anything folks? Even the PhD people
find this out. When ether is polluted, when the
direction of North East is polluted in your house,
it leads to confusion despite you having knowledge.
Spiritual fatigue. Many people are doing that
in the world now. Like, where is my God? Where
is my Allah? Where is my Jesus Christ? When I
need Him the most? This is fatigue. There's nothing
wrong with any faith. But it's confusion created
by Vastu in your house, maybe. Anxiety without
visible cause. Loss of meaning. Therefore, the
insight here becomes when heavy objects clutter
or noise the ether zones, the north eastern zones
in your house, you are collapsing the guidance
itself. What the universe is trying to tell you
or guide you in your daily life with your family,
with your job, with whatever it is. It is cluttering
that space. Avoid junk. Avoid putting clocks
in that space. Everything gets deleted if you
put clocks. No remedy works until ether is able
to breathe again. Number two, fire. The East
and the Southeast are. We are talking about this
now. We are talking about Aquarius and Pisces,
the 11th and the 12th house of your chart. Pay
attention if there are more planets here, by
the way. Fire is activation. It converts intention
into motion. Psychological expression will become
one of confidence, willpower, desire, metabolism,
courage to act. Both Aquarius and Pisces are.
Natal chart correlation is Sun, Mars, Venus,
desire, leadership and ambition. When fire is
balanced, we are talking like element of the
space, the direction itself. When fire is balanced,
motivation feels natural. Healthy appetite for
life, assertive but not aggressive. Creative
energy flows properly. When fire is excessive,
anger, burnout, impulsivity, conflict. When fire
is deficient, you have a fear of starting. Mars,
people keep telling Mars is merific. Chief, if
you don't have Mars, you can't function. Debilitated
Mars does not know how to function. They have
no reasoning, logic, nothing. They are least
motivated people even if you give them a million
motivation books. Mars is debilitated. Mars is
what your fear, courage is, a innate sense of
courage, action, low vitality, indecision, suppressed
desire. Astro Vastu says, Mars problems, Venus
problems, quote unquote, are actually fire distribution
problems, not personality flaws. Important one,
isn't it? Third one, the earth, south and southwest
arc, this. Starting from Capricorn which is Dhammasekh,
earth. Going to Sagittarius and going to Scorpio.
So let's say the 8th, 9th and 10th house of your
chart. Earth is structure. It gives form, weight
and stability. The psychological expression here
being of security, responsibility, endurance,
boundaries, capacity to hold life. The neutral
chart expression here being Saturn, Rahu, material
anchoring, carrier, stability, long -term wealth.
These are all highly tamasic areas, okay? Because
Sun is sitting here and I'll come to those days
in the next one probably. When Earth is balanced,
you make steady progress, emotional grounding,
reliable routines, carrier solidity. Remember
we are talking about directions of the... elements
of the directions, not necessarily the planets.
When Earth is excessive, stagnation, depression,
over attachment, fear of change, Scorpio will
create change, ethos. When Earth is weak, you
have instability, sudden losses, anxiety about
future, lack of roots. Scorpio is also your roots,
everything buried deep underground. Moola nakshatra
and Sagittarius is all about roots. A weak earth
zone makes even a strong Saturn placement feel
punishing instead of rewarding. Number four,
the water element, west and the lower central.
This one, essentially cancer, isn't it? That's
water. And then it goes to air. Water is also
your west house. So, west as well as the north
directions are water elements. Having watery
elements like let's say fountain or paintings
with blue color is helpful in these areas. Water
is processing. It digests, experiences emotion.
The psychological expression in this case being
emotional intelligence, memory, adaptation, pleasure
and grief processing. In natal chart how that
will play out. Moon and Venus, both are watery
planets, both are Brahmana planets. Emotional
bonding, emotional body. subconscious patterns.
When water is balanced, you have emotional resilience,
good sleep, healthy relationships, creative flow.
And I'll put the places of the house later in
the later slides. Why I'm unpacking this slowly
is unless these things are understood properly,
you'll get really mixed up between zodiac sign
elements and planetary elements and directional
elements. It's really becoming a head spin then.
When water is excessive, it becomes mood swings.
over attachment, emotional overwhelm, financial
leakage. When water is deficient, it becomes
emotional numbness, dryness in relationship.
Water needs Venus and moon are wet planets. They
need some place to land in. If you put them in
fire sign, for example, if you stick Venus in
Aquarius thinking I'll get all the money, it
is drying up your relationship. Be careful. Inability
to rest, burnout. Moon absorbs space faster than
any planet. So does Mercury. If water zones are
unstable, emotional stability is impossible.
5. Air. This arc. Fifth and sixth house is air.
The northwest arc. Air is movement and change.
It connects all other elements. The cyclotric
expression here being thoughts, communication,
social interaction, nervous system, Mercury.
Natal correlation, there you go, Makiri, moon.
Moon as the aspect of mind, Manas as they call
it. Networking, trade and information flow. When
air is balanced, remember moon is also Manas.
Study the Purusha Sukta, I don't need to speak
much. When air is balanced, clear communication,
mental agility, smooth transitions and adaptability
occurs. When air is excessive, you have anxiety,
you have restlessness, you are over thinking,
inability to sleep, insomnia. When air is blocked,
you have stagnant ideas, social withdrawal, poor
communication, fear of change. Air imbalances
the root of modern anxiety disorders. Psychologists
pay attention in astrovascular diagnosis. So
the elemental loop is ether, fire, earth, water,
air, ether. When one element is blocked, the
loop breaks. You need to have a proper flow of
energy aligned with your chart. That's what Astro
Vastu is. Something along the lines of Feng Shui,
but this goes much deeper. Feng Shui just speaks
of Qi energy. Astro Vastu is tying it to your
Vedic Astrology birth chart. The deeper teaching
here being your natural chart. is not failing
you. Your living space may need to be re -aligned
with the elements of the chart. Matching the
planetary positions in your natal chart. See,
if you're studying anything in Jyotish, if you're
going beyond natal chart, it's unnecessary. You
really haven't understood astrology. People keep
jumping to Navamsa, this one, Dashaamsa, D10,
tell me D3, D6. You're running around like a
headless chicken, trust me. If you can't tell
Just by natal chat, you do not know Jyotish.
Astro Vastu corrects fire, so action does not
burn. Water, so emotion don't drown you. Earth,
so life does not stagnate. Air, so mind does
not scatter. Ether, so meaning doesn't collapse.
Very strong words there. These are the elements
I went racing through, I understand, but we needed
to do that. We needed to take care of the elements
of the directions first before we start jumping
into details. In the next slide, I shall give
more and more principles on the same chart. The
reason being, once it is superimposed, you can
keep revisiting this podcast and studying more
and more and more. Your own chart, your own house.
I'll see you in the next. Take care.
