1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,720
Good morning ladies and gentlemen wherever you are. I hope you are safe

2
00:00:05,640 --> 00:00:08,200
With everything that's going on in the world now

3
00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:13,920
Okay, so today we are going to be talking a little bit about

4
00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:18,760
The two faces of Mercury we finished Venus and Mars

5
00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:24,840
Now let's talk about Mercury. Mercury is as you recall the intellect

6
00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:30,800
Mercury is not the mind according to Vedic texts

7
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:36,360
They digs the Vedic texts you have to understand

8
00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:39,840
Distinguish between the mind and the intellect

9
00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:42,400
The mind is called Manas

10
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:49,160
Or an intellect is called Chit Shakti or the ability of the intellect to distinguish

11
00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:53,080
Between one thing or the other it may be anything

12
00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:58,400
It may be any aspect any area of thinking or thought

13
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:01,240
So

14
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:06,080
Mercury as understood by Vedic texts is more of intellect energy

15
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:09,120
Whereas the mind is

16
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:12,840
Denoted in Vedic texts for the moon

17
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:20,280
Nammanas the mind has a confluence of thoughts and emotions tendencies compulsions

18
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:27,200
That which we bring forth from our past lies impressions or what is called as samskaras

19
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:32,440
The memories the soul memories which it carries from previous

20
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:36,040
Lifetimes as a collection of tendencies

21
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:43,600
Which again come to this lifetime and tend to play out in the internal and the external world

22
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:46,880
All right, we digress so

23
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:53,960
Mercury today we have when we speaking about the intellect the mind but as the intellect

24
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:58,360
Everything is the mind essentially everything is the first house which we carry

25
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:04,480
To every area of our life as the eleven other houses, okay?

26
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:11,560
But today we are going to talk about the dual side the two faces of mercury

27
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:15,600
as the intellect the first one

28
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:17,600
first sign being of

29
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:20,240
Gemini or the third

30
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:28,360
Zodiac sign when Gemini becomes the ascendant remember we are focused in all these podcasts is the ascendant

31
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:36,320
Unraveling and the ascendant if the ascendant or what is also called as the rising sign is studied in depth

32
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:40,160
That in itself can be a whole discussion

33
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:44,480
So we are focusing on that the self

34
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:51,400
It's all about self growth folks if we don't know where we are we don't know where we need to go properly

35
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:56,680
So Gemini number three on the zodiac list

36
00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:04,120
What is it going by and it's ruled by Mercury in the first house two signs are ruled by Mercury in the first house

37
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:07,600
Gemini number three and Virgo number six

38
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:12,040
So the three and six are what we want to be speaking about in this one

39
00:03:12,920 --> 00:03:16,400
So in three what happens in Gemini what happens?

40
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:19,920
In Gemini

41
00:03:19,920 --> 00:03:24,400
Mercury becomes a Rajasic dual and male sign

42
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:31,560
So Rajasic meaning once again the energy just moves between Satva and Thomas. They're always

43
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:40,400
Moving the Rajasic energy is passionate energy. It's the desire factor which we all have in this existence

44
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:47,240
In this dimension, so Rajasic is something that moves constantly so

45
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:49,720
Mercury that's why in

46
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:54,760
Gemini will be always be constantly moving and it's a male sign. So it goes outward

47
00:03:55,320 --> 00:04:00,080
It is not inwardly directed. It is outwardly directed into the world

48
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,440
from me to the rest of the world

49
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:08,440
It is dual sign now, what are these dual signs dual signs are

50
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:14,680
characterized in Vedic astrology as something that is caught in duality

51
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:20,040
They will always be having if you say one thing, they will also be about what about this?

52
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:24,800
Or if you say that the other one then say yeah, but what about this?

53
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:27,800
So they are always caught between

54
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:35,480
two ends or two polar opposites of duality duality is what the play of opposites and

55
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:38,840
Because it's a Rajasic and it's a male sign

56
00:04:38,840 --> 00:04:44,920
They're always doing this play this mercury wants to play on the external world in the world of dual

57
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:47,440
dualistic

58
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:48,760
opinions

59
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:55,040
thoughts remember we are talking about the intellect so it's all about the intellectual part of the mind, okay?

60
00:04:55,040 --> 00:05:00,520
So that's what it's playing out as in Gemini as the ascendant and

61
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:10,280
Like I said, wherever the whatever the Lord of the first house is it looks at its focus is towards

62
00:05:11,280 --> 00:05:15,280
whichever the other Lord of the houses right to two faces

63
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:21,040
So wherever number three situated in your chart, it is looking at number six

64
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:28,280
Right, so where is the number six located for the Gemini as an it's located in the fourth house?

65
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:32,520
Which is Thomasic dual and female?

66
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:41,440
So it goes from a Rajasic dual male to number six Virgo, which is Thomasic dual and female which is sitting now in the fourth house

67
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:47,160
Okay, so in the fourth house, what is the focus fourth house represents?

68
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:49,600
mother motherland

69
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:51,600
house vehicles real estate

70
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:54,640
represents the heart energy

71
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:56,240
so

72
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:57,640
for

73
00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:04,000
Gemini as an it they're always focused more on the affairs of the home affairs of the heart

74
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:11,960
Because that's where the natural mercury will take them towards right

75
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:15,160
That's how it plays out and

76
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:20,560
Depending upon my mercury is physically placed in the chart. This is just the themes

77
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:25,520
This is just the Lord of the houses Lord of number three and Lord on number six is mercury

78
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:29,840
But physically the planet might be anywhere between one to twelve houses

79
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:36,440
From there it is looking at both of these aspects and a

80
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:43,200
Combination of three six and physically where the mercury is placed is how the mercury should be judged as per

81
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:45,200
very astrology

82
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:49,360
Let us see number six now

83
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:58,040
The second aspect of mercury second phase of mercury is number six or Virgo the virgin

84
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:03,800
The one which is the creative earth remember Gemini was the breeze is the air sign

85
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:07,160
That's why air signs are more

86
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:09,800
mental in

87
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:17,920
Nature because their attention or their prana shakthi or their life force is drawn towards some intellectual part

88
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:20,880
The mercury being the air sign there

89
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:23,760
the second one here Virgo is

90
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:26,040
in

91
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:27,920
number six and

92
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:35,160
Number six Virgo if you remember the last podcast we talked about Virgo as the ascendant is the creative earth

93
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:37,160
It's an earth sign

94
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:45,320
So here the mercury becomes Thomasic dual and female right there. It should tell you Thomasic means it wants some

95
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:47,120
grounding

96
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:51,640
This is very intellect seeks grounding or making it to physical manifestation

97
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:56,000
That's why we're going in sir always about physical manifestation

98
00:07:56,000 --> 00:08:01,840
How would do this on a practical level? They are practical intellectual people

99
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:07,160
That's why these Virgo Nians make very good accountants finance people

100
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:09,400
bankers

101
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:15,400
The physical people who wanted to stuff realize it physically they are obsessed about health

102
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:22,040
They are these are the ones who have spas who are into gym and trimming and nutrition

103
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:30,000
See all the earthly things playing out in the Virgo ascent it so mercury plays out like Thomasic dual again

104
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:36,400
Again, it is shuttling between this. Oh, I gotta do this but what about that or if you say that then what about this?

105
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:44,000
So they are caught between two polar ends of duality and it's a female science. It's more introverted

106
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:53,920
Now this Thomasic and female science is an interesting combination because in the zodiac list number one all the way through number 12

107
00:08:54,560 --> 00:08:57,640
All the Thomasic science really belong to females

108
00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:00,440
There is not a single sign

109
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:03,680
Which is Thomasic and it's a male sign

110
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:10,080
This is interesting and we'll cover this male and female science later on which is to note on the side

111
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:18,520
So for the Virgo Nien ascendant again, which is the Lord of the house first house is

112
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:21,200
Mercury as the intellect

113
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:26,480
Where it is number three land remember we spoke of wherever whatever the Lord of the first house

114
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:30,160
It looks first towards the Lord of them

115
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:36,480
Wherever other houses ruled by Mercury which in this case is three

116
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:43,600
Gemini for the Virgo Nien ascendant Gemini comes into the 10th house

117
00:09:44,680 --> 00:09:49,680
In the house of carrier in the house of seeking fame recognition

118
00:09:49,680 --> 00:09:55,880
Therefore Virgo Nien will always be drawn towards how do I make it in the world?

119
00:09:56,240 --> 00:10:03,680
What is my name and fame and career and recognition in the world? What do I do for a career? They have very career focused people

120
00:10:04,560 --> 00:10:11,360
Gemini on the other hand even though if it was ruled by Mercury they were focused on the fourth house aspect the home the family

121
00:10:11,680 --> 00:10:13,680
This is how Virgo Nien and

122
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:15,840
Gemini

123
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:23,520
Differ like opposite ends of the spectrum even though they are ruled by the same Lord or the same planet Mercury in this case

124
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:31,720
The intellect shining into different aspects the internal of the home of the heart world or carrier or

125
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:36,840
Brain or intellect as outward in career world

126
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:40,920
So this my take on

127
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:46,040
the two faces of intellect

128
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:49,080
Mercury

129
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:58,040
After Mercury comes Mars, but we've already dealt with Mars. So next we will talk about two faces of Jupiter

130
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:03,400
The next bigger planet which has got two faces tomorrow in the meantime

131
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:05,640
Go through the rest of my podcast

132
00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:11,960
If you're not following this from the beginning as in the ascendents look at the 12 ascendents general series

133
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:17,680
Which I have made which I call right from Aries the individual fire to

134
00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:23,400
Leo the creative fire to such areas the purifying fire etc

135
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:29,880
You should get the general energies of all of this first as the very texts would describe it

136
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:34,720
And combined with esoterics in my intuition. I am made those

137
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:42,320
So just have a look at that and then it'll help you better in your study

138
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:50,800
Even if you are practicing only Vedic as Western astrology plot charts, it'll help you get the energies of it first

139
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:53,200
Okay
