Good morning ladies and gentlemen welcome to yet another episode of
the Progressive Vedic Astrology series today we are going to be talking about
the third
group of nine of the ganas or the groups of human beings on earth the raakshasa ganas this one is
Raakshasa literally means demonic, but it's the tendencies we have to understand from the new energy point of view
Okay
We can't say demons as in one with horns and tails. This is about the shadow aspect
What we in popular new age terms call the shadow this
Unravels the shadow aspects in many forms nine forms to be precise and how it plays out in the human being and in the collective
The raakshasa ganas
They are more tamasic in nature
That is they are all about grounding and they have certain qualities. Let's look at certain qualities about them in general
So what are the raakshasa ganas about they are about tamasic because we've covered Satvayan Rajasic ganas
This is a tamasic one
So they can be stubborn and rigid in their views and in their opinions and approach
So stubborn what does stubbornness mean really in this context stubbornness is and rigidity basically mean
It's a tamasic quality in itself, but what else does it mean? I want to stick to my opinions
I am right in everybody else as long this is there. This is where they come from
if more planets and points out of the 15 are in these
Raakshasa ganas this person will have tendency to be rigid in their views. They can become critical and judgmental
What else are the key themes of raakshasa? Gonna people they are spontaneous. They're logical. They're analytical. They're risk takers
They're chaotic in their approach
They're chaos creators. They're dominant
professional
free-spirited
Problem-solving capacity is very good. They are witty
creative determined
pessimistic in nature energetic intuitive they're very intuitive
judging sensing and decisive remember this although it's a tamasic gana tamasic group of people or
attitudes
These people have a very high degree of sensing the occult the other side
There's a lot of my theological lore in very texts about this raakshasa. Can I please do
meditate for like thousands of years or something and
Call in the God and get boons to conquer or be incongruable or to go and
outright
Conquer territories
Right. It's all they're still thinking of
Going into the lower aspects with the higher powers. So these people are very occult in nature
They have innate tendency of occult present within them, but they will translate it or they will use it for negative means
This is where the whole dance of creation comes into pictures
Creation or your soul as per where the text doesn't have any preferences in the matter
It is gunatmika means it is gonna tita. It is beyond the gunas of Satwar Ajis and tamas the soul of everyone
But when it comes to play in this field of 3d duality, it assumes a certain suit
It's a assumes a certain posture posturing of
Energy and this has to play out through the vehicle of the intellect the emotions the mind
Etc. That's all we have the five senses and the intellect and emotion. That's where it plays out through
So these ganas although they can be
Having innate knowledge of occult within them innate is something very intuitive. It's very they've got powerful intuition and occultic
presence but they tend to use that knowledge the higher knowledge for their selfish gains. This is where the
Growth and the development of raksa. So gonna people has to come
They have to use it for the
Collective benefit not for their selfish reasons. Okay, this is where the growth of raksa. Gonna comes in so let's jump right in

So we are talking about that particular nakshatra ashlesha
very beautiful nakshatra
Next one among the raaksha saganas is magha or the bounty full?
It is falls in the zodiac sign of Leo
It is ruled by K2 the south lunar node symbol is the royal throne
The deity is the ancestors the family ancestors
Magha has got a lot of ancestral energy about them the ancestral wisdom in a family in a lineage
Okay family lineage may go 10,000 years back. Okay
The themes of this nakshatra are active female fears
Thomasic there again
There can be good leaders and noble on the
Positive side they can be dominant or feeling very entitled on the negative side
Other themes of this nakshatra are they are independent

They can become very egoistic
So falls in the sign of Leo. Guess what they have ancestral energy which they need to use to recalibrate themselves
They are all about lineage power and authority
Okay
Think of this themes as power and authority playing out in tamasic and raaksha saganas
Who desires power?
Desires power the one who wants power is the one who's very ego centric one who wants attention
Directed at their human self this itself shows the raaksha sagana tendencies and it'll play out the waters
Let's go to the next one
The next one among the raaksha saganas falls in the sign of Virgo the Chitra the bright one
It falls in the constellation of Spica
Okay
It's Lord is Mars
Its symbol is a bright jewel or pearl
Its deity is the Vishwakarma or the celestial architect Vishwakarma in Vedic text is the guy Vishwa means universe
Karma is the one who built it
Vishwakarma is the guy who actually physically designed the universe as per Vedic text

The prominent themes of the Chitra nakshatra
and

They can become our clothes designers interior designers that kind of thing. Okay?
That's Chitra
The next one on our list is the Vishakha nakshatra the folk to one
Vishakha means the folk to one fork. Okay?
It falls in the sign of Libra
It's ruled by Jupiter the nakshatra is ruled by Jupiter all the Libra is ruled by Venus
The symbol is a triumphal arc arch. Okay? Our potters wheel
The deity is Indra the chief of gods and ugly the god of fire
So it's ruled by two deities, but think of Indra as the chief of gods on the sky as
Portrait Indra in the Vedic text is a very insecure chap
He's the king but he's always kind of shown in the text and mythology as the guy who's insecure of losing his throne
That right there if it's ruled by Indra shows the insecurity of Vishakha nakshatra people
Anyway, we digress the themes of this are active female sharp
Satvik
Determined and leading on the positive side. It's aggressive and domineering on the negative side
It's other themes of life's are one pointedness. They're very one pointed in that approach single-mindedness
In their approach now this itself right there can make them very stubborn people
they have duality playing out in their life as they
They struggle for to one remember it was the folk to one. So they are always caught between spiritualism and materialism
Do I want more materialistic sting in my life or am I a spirit?
You're a person they caught in this trap
They have major transformation points in life which make them change from maybe one career path to the next
Of course, we want to see the details of this chart to know if there is such a thing playing out
Planets and points falling in Vishakha is significant for any chart
It falls in the sign of Libra last but our last part going into Scorpio
They have themes of infidelity and delayed success. They have delayed success. They are going to wait a lot of time for
So getting success in their life
They have a theme of failed relationships many of these themes of
Rakshasa Gana people have failed relationships. They are not very good at relationships. Guess why can you take a guess? Why?
Well, they are very stubborn in relationships. You got to make allowance for the other
Person's personality also to play out like yours is
But Rakshasa Gana people or many majority of planets and points, especially personal planets if they are falling in Rakshasa Gana
They'll be dominated by I me myself. They're unable to see the other's point of view. That's why the failed relationship theme comes in
Right next one of the Rakshasa Ganas is Jayastha. Jayastha means the elder one
The eldest
This one falls in the sign of Scorpio
It's ruled by Mercury again. We talk about the intellect
Okay
Wherever Mercury nakshatras are there. They are ruled by the intellect. This this affects the intellect of the person
Symbol is a circular amulet an umbrella or an earring
DAT once again ruled by Indra the chief of gods again Jayastha being the elder one
Indra is an insecure chief of gods. One who's constantly afraid of losing his throne
Insecurity will play out in Jayastha nakshatras, especially if it's in the ascendant or the moonsign or the personal planets
The themes are active female sharp
sharp sathvik heroic and prosperous on the positive side
adversarial and poor on the downside
Other themes of their life are achievement beauty
Wealth kindness empathy
Achievement of goals. They are open. They are impulsive and rash. They have to be careful about this very impulsive and rash
They have temper tantrums and they are touchy people
Jayastha nakshatra
Next one of the raksas aganas is mula mula means the root of things
Mula nakshatra falls in the sign of Sagittarius
It is ruled by ketu or the south lunar node of the moon
Which makes a person by default very detached from things
And wanting to seek deep into things
Okay, mula means the root
Symbol is a bunch of roots tied together or an elephant gold
The one old weapon which was used to harness the elephants, right? That's the elephant gold. These are all old
mythical texts from the Vedic text, right? So they have got a different sort of symbols
Their deity is niriti the god of dissolution and destruction goddess. This is the goddess energy which is like kali
Which is like the destroyer, okay
The one Shakti which who wants to dissolve star
So that makes it tamasik but that also makes it extremely powerful
Okay
Okay in terms of occulties people born in mula can sense the other side very very easily
That's easily as they breathe really
So themes of them playing out is active they're neutered. They're not having any gender bias. They are sharp
They're tamasik
Discipline and devoted on the positive side
Controlling and inhibited on the downside
They are purposeful
And adventurous they can become self centered
Unforgiving they have determination. They are pathfinders. They love to find the path on their own
This is the mula forgive the throat today
They are indecisive. They can become indecisive kind of people. They can make up their minds
Next inner line of rakshasakana comes the dhanishta
Dhanishta also is wrongfully translated as a person with lots of done or willed
People have caught up with a lot of wealth business. Okay, the real wealth is the soul never mind
So dhanishta falls in the
Half in the nakshatra in the sign of capricorn and half in the sign of aquarius
It's ruled by mars
Its symbol is the drum or the flute that gives a hint right there that these people are
Very much into music. They can become good artists
The deity is the eight wasus or the deities of earthly abundance. They're all about earthly abundance
Half in capricorn half in aquarius
Their themes are
They are active female
They are changeable tamasic on the good side. They can be practical or ambitious on the downside. They can be imperious or autocratic
Their nakshatra themes are they are into dance music wealth
Versatility they can be friendly and energetic
They have good organizational capability. They are very liberal minded. Remember it falling in aquarius right there
Liberals they're devoted. They are ruthless. They're self obsessed kind of people
All the tamasic qualities you can see them play out
The next one on our list is shatabhisha
Now this is a really difficult raksa gana as we go forward shatabhisha means requiring hundred physicians
It is ruled by rahua the north node which in itself is an obsessive compulsive guy
It symbol is the empty circle or thousand flowers or stars
The deity is varuna the god of cosmic water sky and earth varuna is all about water
So the water energy playing out into an air sign of zodiac
Aquarius the still air get the energy of that
The themes playing out for this raksa gana aren't they're active new
They're changeable tamasic
Knowingness and being discreet are their positive qualities
Having a bias and very concealing are their negative. They're very secretive people
Other nakshatra themes for shatabhisha are ability to discover mystery
Secrets they are mistakes
They're eager and stubborn
They're again once again the stubbornness of raksa gana
They are healing. They are mindfulness. They are needy of people low self esteem. They need
People to give them adoration and self esteem. Guess what it falls in the sign of Aquarius
Aquarius his 11th house is stuck in the head
So you're all about other people providing you the self esteem not a good way to go trust me
And they are may become uncommunicative. They're secretive and silent
And they're withdrawn kind of creatures. This is the last of the raksa gana
That might take gentlemen is the last of the nine of the raksa saganas
Now remember raksa sagana is also required in 3d existence
to
Provide physical things because these people are all about tamasic energy the
Desire to ground and materialize things
Is the raksa sagana
and remember
You can have five planets of points in deogana and other
10 of them
Totally 15 we are talking about including the outer planets
They might be in deoganas. Then what does that question becomes? What does that make the person? Well, it depends
It depends upon the ascendant. It depends upon the moon
It depends upon all the personal planets and the outer planets which nakshatras. They are falling into which type of this three that we have
discussed
This is what makes the complexity of vedic astrology
Because it can be a set of permutations and combinations. No one is just one thing
Or one nakshatra that could be like one in a billion
That's a very rare one
So even all the 10 avatars of vishnu as far as very texas concerned were born in certain nakshatra
for example
Rama was born in punarvasu nakshatra and krishna was born in roheni nakshatra anyone who takes
The physical form of human body and has to live on this planet
Has to be born in some or the other energy of this nakshatras. That's why it's very crucial to understand it properly
Because unless you understand the nakshatras, you don't know how and where the mind is playing
And what they would be good and successful and happy as and what they need to recalibrate and adjust in this lifetime
because the soul
doesn't have any preferences it is
Beyond gunas. It's beyond satva raja sthamas. It is beyond all these qualities. It's an abstraction
Okay, it is it's beyond the concepts of the mind the mind cannot understand the soul
The soul lives through the mind lives through the emotion. The other way is true
Okay
