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.
As we spoke of yesterday about Southwick today we will discuss about the Rajasic.
Now if you recollect what would you speak about Rajasic planet? Well Rajas is the energy that moves things.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
So in astrology or in Vedic astrology to be more focused there are two Rajasic planets. One is Mercury and one is Venus.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
What is Mercury good at? In practical life, marketing, writing, mass communication, social media, journalism, business, whatever requires calculation.
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?
This is the calculative intellect. Intellect is calculative about things. He's a scientist. He wants to get into the deep root of things.
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.
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.
The second Rajasic planet is Venus, the sensual. What is Venus' energy? The feminine one.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
See the difference. She wants adoration. She wants romantic love. She wants material comforts. Venus is all about material comforts.
That's why people desire good position of Venus in their charts. Because guess what people want? Money, money, money. Fame, fame, fame.
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.
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.
She is into spiritual reform by pure devotion. See this is the higher octave of Venus again. This is more Neptunian in nature.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Whatever creates the sense of aesthetics is all an attribution of Mercury. The renaissance is created in these fields by Venus.
Venus wants to delve into the intellectual aspect. So whatever science is discovered, physics, chemistry, biology, quantum physics, medical science, development, etc.
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.
Rajasic and they move a lot of energy in the collective and it creates change and transformation in the collective.
So this is my take on these two Rajasic planets. Tomorrow we will talk about Tamasic planets and how they work through the system.

If you want more detailed presentations, I have a few YouTube channels which I have linked in the description of the podcast itself.
My podcasts are available on Apple, Spotify and Google Podcasts. Free for you.

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.
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.
So the object of spreading this information in the correct format for me is to have a growth of the collective.
Take care. Have a good day.
