Good morning ladies and gentlemen, welcome to my podcast once again.
I'm glad you guys are all enjoying this.
He is the progressive and esoteric astrology series of podcasts which I made
making with really one object in mind that is to take a deep dive into
combining what the esoteric astrology, the Vedic astrology
and the deeper aspects of Vedic astrology as it relates to self.
The whole idea is to first understand the self and where the self comes from
what energies are affecting the ascendant and the self
so that we can take a deeper long look into how we can improve.
So it's where I come from.
If you do not know where we are going or where our starting point is
how can we plot the destination towards where we want to go?
Let it be materialistic, spiritual, building the new world, the new earth, etc.
So this is an attempt for all you astrologers out there
as well as people who are interested in esoteric subjects to take a deep dive into it.
So yesterday we spoke of the two phases of Mars.
Today we speak the two phases of Venus.
Now Venus is ruling the first house of the ascendant into science.
It's in Taurus and it's in Libra.
Now Taurus is by nature a fixed earthly sign and Libra is the air sign as the wind.
If you take a look at my other podcasts, the first ones where I speak of the air, earth, water, science as wind, still air, etc.
you will figure out what I mean.
So Taurus is the fixed earth sign.
Now in the ascendant of Taurus, the first house, if you see the characteristic of the sign of Taurus, it is Rajasic.
It is fixed and it is female sign.
This is the first one of the fixed signs of female sign.
So if you say female, it automatically means that the person is introverted.
These kind of people, now the body may be male or female.
It just means the person is more fixed in mentality.
It is fixed sign.
That means it is unmoving.
It has got a rigidity about it.
So they want to have their way and nobody else's way.
That's what the fixed means.
It's a very fixed objective point of view.
They can never get past.
Understanding other people's opinions, Taurus comes from a place of it's my way or the highway.
All fixed signs have this approach.
My way or the highway.
And it is Rajasic in nature.
So that's the first face of Venus.
The first face of Venus comes in Taurus which wants to materialize everything its own way.
It's Rajasic.
That means it always wants to move towards passions.
It's all about passion in a materialistic form.
That's why it is fixed.
It determines what it wants.
Taurus wants wealth.
Taurus wants fancy cars, fancy houses.
It's all about materialistic approach.
It is rude.
It is moon and Rahu are exalted in Taurus.
And Ketu is debilitated in Taurus.
So there's the first sign.
First sign of Venus.
First face of Venus.
Now for a Taurus ascendant, the Libra appears in the sixth house.
So that's where Tauran people will be looking at.
They will be looking at the enemies part of it.
But that sixth house is friendly to them because it's a Venus.
Same sign.
So Taurian people as a result of this will be looking to daily work.
They are all about daily work.
How can I produce stuff?
How can I make things for myself?
So that's the approach of Taurus.
Now the second face of Venus is the Libra.
The beautiful Libra.
Now Libra when it comes in the seventh sign, its Libra is the wind.
The air sign as in the wind.
So Libra is constantly want to move and it's a Rajasic.
Moveable and a male sign.
So it's this aspect of Venus in Libra in the first ascendant which makes a person sensual.
Very sensual and sexual but it is in an abstract form.
This is the abstract form of Venus.
This is really the passionate form of Venus.
Which is in its conceptual form.
This is not in the form of material like the Taurus.
On the one side in Taurus Venus wants all materialistic stuff.
They want to translate passion as in physical passion.
If they are talking about relationship it will all be about physical passion.
If you talk about Libra they want sensuality and appreciation of beauty.
But as a concept, as an idea they feel it in its most conceptual sense.
Sensuality can be felt two ways because we talk about Venus here.
Venus, the sense of appreciation, beauty, love, romance, sex, materialistic pursuits,
creation of beauty, artistic talents etc.
Venus right?
But it appears differently in these two ascendants.
In Libra it appears as a conceptual form.
It is also Rajasic like Taurus.
But it is movable and it is male sign.
So it's a kind of opposite.
Taurus was Rajasic fixed and female.
Libra is Rajasic movable and male.
You see the difference there.
So it's male sign.
That's why Libra wants to go outward, create beauty in the external world.
Okay?
So Libra looks at for the Libra ascendant.
The Taurus appears in the eighth sign.
That's why these people are very interested in physical intimacy, in sex, in occult,
in mysticism. Going to the other side, they are always drawn towards mystic side of nature of people.
From the beginning Libra ascendants are always drawn towards religion, spirituality, occult mysticism.
Why? Because the Venus in the first house always hunts or looks for the Venus elsewhere in the chart.
Which in Libra in case it becomes the eighth house.
So they are interested in all matters of the eighth house.
And therefore these Libra makes Libra very very sexually oriented, very sensually oriented.
They might even, depending upon whether planets appear, be very tuned to the other side of the veil.
They might have occult mystical powers about them.
So this is the beautiful Libra.
Rajasic movable and male.
And depending upon where Venus is placed physically in the chart, these people will have those kind of qualities about them.
So gentlemen, this is the night take on the two phases of Venus.
One phase of Venus wants materialization.
The other phase of Venus wants occult and mysticism and has a sense of intimacy with others.
Even though Tauri in a ascendant seems to be all about sexuality and about materialistic pursuits.
Remember it's a female sign, they are doing it for themselves.
This is what you got to understand from the two phases of Venus.
One phase of Venus wants everything for herself.
And it's all about I me myself and what I get from, dear I for myself, the Taurus.
And then when it graduates to Libra, it wants to give away.
It wants to give away a sense of beauty to the rest of the world.
So one is inward focused, one is outward focused.
Nothing wrong or right about either one of them.
It's just the way it is.
I'm just sharing what the import or what the meanings of the text convey.
We should stop ourselves whenever we are thinking in terms of opinions.
This is not an opinion, ladies and gentlemen.
This is the way the Vedic text portrays astrology itself.
These are the two phases of Venus.
Venus can get very very selfish.
Venus can get very very externally focused.
So if you understand this in the charts and if people take time to understand their charts,
oh I am like this, okay now I can work with this.
That's when the real evolution begins.
That's my opinion at least.
So if you are brand new to my channel, please go to my YouTube channel also and check out those presentations
because they are worth millions of hours of study.
Okay, it will save you time and effort to study Vedic astrology.
I kind of made it condensed there.
If you want to get some consultation, a quick one, you can get in touch with me on my Facebook page,
link in the description box.
Tomorrow we shall be talking about whatever we got down.
Mercury, no we talked about, no we have not talked about, okay we have talked about Mars.
Today's Venus, okay.
Tomorrow we will talk about the two phases of Mercury.
That will be Virgo and Gemini.
Until then please take care, have a good one and be very safe.
Thank you.
