00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:12,000
Good morning my beautiful people wherever you are. It's early in the morning here and today we are going to be speaking a bit about the Rajasic planets.

2
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:17,000
As we spoke of yesterday about Southwick today we will discuss about the Rajasic.

3
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:26,000
Now if you recollect what would you speak about Rajasic planet? Well Rajas is the energy that moves things.

4
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:38,000
It's an energy that just desires movement. If there is an energy that just desires movement let it be from the most gross to the most subtle.

5
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:53,000
Let it be as subtle as desires in your heart or mind or whether it is something physically moving like the physical combustion of energy, physical electricity that moves etc.

6
00:00:53,000 --> 00:01:04,000
It is still an energy that is moving without qualities to it. It's just an energy that moves and what does it move between?

7
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:22,000
It moves between two points the Tamasic energy and the Southwick energy. It's an energy of oscillation like a harmonic oscillation like a dynamic balance that happens between when energy moves in any system.

8
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:37,000
Let that system be the human mind or the human desires and propensities or the energy that moves as an intellect and in the mind in the thinking process.

9
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:49,000
So that being said let's just speak of the two Rajasic planets right now coming back to astrology from the principle kind of approach.

10
00:01:49,000 --> 00:02:00,000
So in astrology or in Vedic astrology to be more focused there are two Rajasic planets. One is Mercury and one is Venus.

11
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:15,000
Let us just briefly examine what makes these two Rajasic. Now I want you to read into the energies of these two planets so it will help you better in analyzing a chart because these we are talking about are personal planets.

12
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:25,000
Both of these Mercury and Venus are personal planets. What do they stand for? Well let's go the first Mercury. Mercury stands for the intellect.

13
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:40,000
Now the Vedic scriptures they don't categorize as the mind as the psyche in terms of Mercury. They categorize it as the intellect or the chit-shakti.

14
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:59,000
They call it in Sanskrit. The ability to intellectually drive. Now why is this Rajasic? Because Mercury always wants to move the intellect of everyone, always wants to analyze, reason, learn about something or the other, communicate about something or the other.

15
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:15,000
These are all the aspects of the intellect. What do you want to communicate about or learn? It may be going in either way. Learning becomes sattvic, communicating becomes more tamasic because you really don't need to communicate anything.

16
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:25,000
You need to actually learn more from the soul's perspective. So Mercury the intellect, it's an energy of the prince, the young one, the young prince.

17
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:43,000
Now what's the energy of the young prince? He's ambitious, he's mental, he's restless, he's a friend and a companion. He wants logic, he wants reasoning, he wants communication with people.

18
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:55,000
He's got a lot of communication abilities, speaking, speech. Once quick results, no patience, this is the Rajasic energy that moves. Think of Rajas and think of Mercury.

19
00:03:55,000 --> 00:04:05,000
What is Mercury good at? In practical life, marketing, writing, mass communication, social media, journalism, business, whatever requires calculation.

20
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:16,000
He's very calculative. If I do this, how much will I get in return? If I invest in this much stocks, what will I get in return? If I put my efforts in this relationship, what will he or she give me back in return?

21
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:26,000
This is the calculative intellect. Intellect is calculative about things. He's a scientist. He wants to get into the deep root of things.

22
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:44,000
Another aspect of Mercury is into mimicry. He will encourage any planet that he sits with no individuality. Mercury does not have individuality yet. It's the higher aspect of Mercury, the Uranus, which is highly individualistic.

23
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:53,000
It's the higher octave of Mercury, Uranus. But we'll come to that later and later podcast. We'll come back, tie this back to Mercury later.

24
00:04:53,000 --> 00:05:03,000
The second Rajasic planet is Venus, the sensual. What is Venus' energy? The feminine one.

25
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:15,000
When we talk of masculine and feminine in terms of Vedic interpretation, understand it as energies. It can be embodied in a man, in a physical body or in a woman's body.

26
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:26,000
It doesn't matter what body the soul occupies. This is the energy of the planet and it is there present in both men and women. Understand this very clearly.

27
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:38,000
So what is the energy of Venus? She is a princess. She is full of lust. She is full of vanity. The Venus energy in a lower octave becomes vanity.

28
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:50,000
She is into materialism. She is into creativity. She is a lover. She is artistic. She is a muse. She has a lot of creativity, a lot of romance in her.

29
00:05:50,000 --> 00:06:00,000
A lot of desire for wealth and prosperity. That's the princess. That's the Rajasic energy which wants to move, but in a different sense than Mercury does.

30
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:09,000
See the difference. She wants adoration. She wants romantic love. She wants material comforts. Venus is all about material comforts.

31
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:18,000
That's why people desire good position of Venus in their charts. Because guess what people want? Money, money, money. Fame, fame, fame.

32
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:31,000
And she is into reform and renaissance through artistic creativity. This is the higher octave of Venus. She wants to do it for others. That's why Saturn is a friend of hers.

33
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:40,000
But we are jumping ahead of ourselves. We will get to that later. The friends and enemies part of the planets as per Vedic Astrology.

34
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:50,000
She is into spiritual reform by pure devotion. See this is the higher octave of Venus again. This is more Neptunian in nature.

35
00:06:50,000 --> 00:07:00,000
What do you mean by spiritual reform through pure devotion? What is admiration and romance? The higher octave of these two. What is the higher octave?

36
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:11,000
What could it be? It's devotion. It's devotion to whom? Not to a specific person. Maybe to a specific cause. Specific person becomes very tamasic.

37
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:23,000
See now you are interpreting it in terms of physical side becomes tamasic. But if you translate it to higher octave, the pure devotion will become pure abstraction.

38
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:35,000
The abstract energy becomes subtle. The sattvic aspect of Venus would be that. But never mind. We are talking about Venus as the Rajasic energy here.

39
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:49,000
The one which wants to move things. But now in this case as a lover, as an artistic person, as a muse, she is into spreading and cultivating beauty, art and materialism in the world.

40
00:07:49,000 --> 00:08:03,000
So whatever has created a renaissance in the world in terms of art, in terms of culture, in terms of paintings, music, dance forms, architectural forms, etc.

41
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:15,000
Whatever creates the sense of aesthetics is all an attribution of Mercury. The renaissance is created in these fields by Venus.

42
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:30,000
Venus wants to delve into the intellectual aspect. So whatever science is discovered, physics, chemistry, biology, quantum physics, medical science, development, etc.

43
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:38,000
Everything, all the progress made in science is because of the movement of intellect, which is Mercury. That's why these two planets are personal.

44
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:47,000
Rajasic and they move a lot of energy in the collective and it creates change and transformation in the collective.

45
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:56,000
So this is my take on these two Rajasic planets. Tomorrow we will talk about Tamasic planets and how they work through the system.

46
00:08:56,000 --> 00:09:04,000

If you want more detailed presentations, I have a few YouTube channels which I have linked in the description of the podcast itself.

00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:20,000
My podcasts are available on Apple, Spotify and Google Podcasts. Free for you.

49
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:29,000
And if you want detailed presentations, go to my YouTube channel. There you can see the pictorial form of things for a better understanding.

50
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:43,000
Because we need to grow up as humanity and as individuals to a higher form of learning unless we interpret the basic tools of astrology given to us by our ancients.

51
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:54,000
In a proper modern translatable format, we are still going to fumble and fall again and again as we have done in the past civilizations on this planet.

52
00:09:54,000 --> 00:10:03,000
So the object of spreading this information in the correct format for me is to have a growth of the collective.

53
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:27,000
Take care. Have a good day.
