1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,680 Good morning ladies and gentlemen welcome to the Light of Lencia Progressive Astrology Channel. 2 00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:14,400 So today we are going to be speaking about the concept of Karaka or the Doership in Vedic Astrology. 3 00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:23,680 Karaka in Sanskrit means the one who does things, one who is responsible for the Doership, 4 00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:28,800 the one who does things. You know what does this mean in planetary terms? 5 00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:36,240 Among other things it means the planet which provides energy or that aspect of the planet it 6 00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:42,240 brings to a particular house in a chart right. We have got one to twelve houses, one to twelve 7 00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:51,440 signs which rotate from Aries to Pisces as we saw. So now we talk about Karaka's meaning if the 8 00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:59,040 planet is placed in any one of these houses it automatically becomes in its exalted position 9 00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:06,480 or in its benefit position. It amplifies more so the energies of the house. You can use these 10 00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:14,560 principles even if you are plotting as per western astrology placidus which I do not recommend because 11 00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:21,040 there is a little time offset. It's better to plot a chart where you desire to get the accuracy of 12 00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:26,080 ascendant because the ascendant is one of the most fickle points in a chart. It moves every hour. 13 00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:32,320 So in a day you would have covered all twelve signs in the ascendant because it changes every hour. 14 00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:37,760 Anyway, returning back to the Karaka. So we'll today talk about 15 00:01:38,320 --> 00:01:43,760 Karaka's can be for every planet but today we are going to talk about just two of them. 16 00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:53,440 Two of the most crucial teachers or lessons we learned in this lifetime are through two 17 00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:58,720 planets Jupiter and Saturn. So we'll talk about Jupiter and Saturn as the Karaka's 18 00:01:59,920 --> 00:02:07,840 of the house, their aspects on different houses, how they work, basically how they work. Each one 19 00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:15,040 of them works differently and what each one of them brings is a different energy to a person's 20 00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:21,680 chart and to a person's personality and their life in general. This will play out. It doesn't matter 21 00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:30,560 which the shite is going on or which period it's going on for a person. So first let's take Jupiter. 22 00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:38,320 Now Jupiter wants to expand. Think of these and energetic thumbs please because these are all 23 00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:45,040 esoteric sciences. It has to be interpreted as energies. The energy of Jupiter, it's a gaseous 24 00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:53,920 giant of a planet, the largest one in the solar system. But in this case as an esoteric point in 25 00:02:53,920 --> 00:03:03,440 space, Jupiter is a gaseous one which wants to feel like the sun. Jupiter wants to feel like the sun. 26 00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:11,920 So Jupiter wherever it sits, it wants to expand the qualities of their house. It wants to provide 27 00:03:11,920 --> 00:03:20,640 stuff which that house represents. And we shall see how. So Jupiter is the Karaka of which particular 28 00:03:20,640 --> 00:03:27,360 house is in every ascendant. Jupiter is the Karaka or the doer of the house number two, 29 00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:36,640 second house, the fifth house, the ninth house and the eleventh house. This is the Karaka ship 30 00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:44,160 or the ownership or the doership of Jupiter. This is where it is most exalted in sign. It can be 31 00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:53,280 anywhere else. Aspecting will see that later. So Jupiter wherever it sits becomes most exalted 32 00:03:53,280 --> 00:04:01,360 wherever it is aspecting, it becomes slightly secondary. Jupiter has two aspects, three aspects 33 00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:07,760 to it actually. One is the seventh aspect from where it sits looking at the seventh portion, 34 00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:12,240 seventh house from itself. So Jupiter if it sits in second house for example, it'll look at the 35 00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:21,360 eighth house. That'll become the opposite sign of it. So first is seventh aspect. The next is the 36 00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:29,280 fifth aspect of Jupiter. The fifth aspect of Jupiter which will be in this case in our example, 37 00:04:29,280 --> 00:04:34,160 if you're putting Jupiter in the second house, the fifth aspect will be on the sixth house. 38 00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:40,720 House number six. What's the fifth aspect? The fifth aspect is where the Jupiter provides 39 00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:52,240 learning, where the Jupiter provides inclination to learn. So this is where it, this is the fifth 40 00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:59,680 aspect of Jupiter. Jupiter wants to learn, it wants to provide knowledge, wisdom. Ninth aspect is where 41 00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:09,040 that education graduates into wisdom. The ninth aspect, the ninth position of aspect or vision 42 00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:16,560 of Jupiter, looking at it from where it's placed counterclockwise and moving into 43 00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:23,920 ninth position will be where the Jupiter will gain the wisdom. For example, in our 44 00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:31,520 example of Jupiter being in the second house, the ninth aspect would be on the tenth house 45 00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:40,640 from the second house. So that means the house of career. So in this example, Jupiter in second house 46 00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:47,600 will, if it's placed in the second house of any ascendant, it will focus and gain knowledge through 47 00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:55,440 sixth house means, means through daily work. It'll provide wealth because second house stands 48 00:05:55,440 --> 00:06:01,840 for the wealth earned. This person will be very wealthy but it looks at the sixth house. That 49 00:06:01,840 --> 00:06:10,560 means it'll regain that wealth through daily work and it will also provide fame because it is looking 50 00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:18,400 at the tenth house which is the house of career. Right? That's the beautiful way to understand us. 51 00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:28,400 But Jupiter is exalted or Jupiter has the Karaka ship or the doership of three more houses. 52 00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:36,480 So second house, house of wealth, Jupiter wants to expand. Jupiter wants to teach everything about 53 00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:43,360 teaching and through giving you gifts. Jupiter wants to gift you stuff from the external 54 00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:55,920 and it wants to help you learn as a soul. In this lifetime, through receiving gifts, 55 00:06:56,640 --> 00:07:03,520 this is what everybody wants. They have a laundry list of desires, what they want, houses, cars, 56 00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:09,520 good partnership, good wealth, places to live in, good jobs or business or fame or etc. etc. 57 00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:17,440 but those are all just 3D if you remember. If the soul doesn't desire any of this, 58 00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:26,560 soul just desires expansion and nothing more like we spoke of in earlier podcast. So Jupiter has the 59 00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:33,920 first Karaka ship of the second house which is for wealth, which is for family, yours are the one 60 00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:41,200 you are born in etc. such aspects of the second house. Of the fifth house, it's of education, 61 00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:48,480 your basic education, your primary school, your schooling, your graduate degree, all that is the 62 00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:53,920 fifth house. It's the house of love and romance, it's the house of creativity. Creative intelligence 63 00:07:53,920 --> 00:08:00,640 is in the fifth house. So Jupiter wants to expand that because that's the way you will 64 00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:06,720 again gain the knowledge. Here Jupiter provides knowledge, just knowledge as in education. 65 00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:09,120 You're learning the world you are in. 66 00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:18,240 You're learning about the world you are in. That's the aspect Jupiter brings to the fifth house. 67 00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:23,840 In the ninth house, this Jupiter itself graduates if it's placed towards wisdom. 68 00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:30,000 The higher aspect of knowledge education as said by Vedic astrology is wisdom. 69 00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:37,040 This happens through maturity as you know through maturity and age. Everybody is not born wise. 70 00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:42,320 They have to learn through life experiences. They have to be educated in some school or 71 00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:48,080 some education system where they learn art. This is how things work. This is how I need to know this 72 00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:55,200 and this. Any field, let it be arts, humanity, science, physics, chemistry, biology, quantum 73 00:08:55,200 --> 00:09:03,280 physics, it can be anything mathematics, psychology, any branch of human learning is in the fifth house. 74 00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:10,800 But in the ninth house that becomes wisdom related to that. You go for higher learning. The higher 75 00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:21,120 learning is of aspects of spirituality, of dharma, of righteer path or in basic education terms you 76 00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:27,120 might do post graduation, you might be a PhD, you might become a research scientist, you might want 77 00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:33,280 to know deeper aspects of philosophy, etc. Jupiter stands for all of this kind of stuff. He loves 78 00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:42,560 this because remember we spoke of Jupiter as the the karaka of knowledge. It wants to gift you stuff 79 00:09:42,560 --> 00:09:48,640 so you learn stuff from the real life and then move on to the soul. Jupiter wants to become the sun. 80 00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:56,080 The sun is the soul but Jupiter wants to become that through providing gifts. This is what you 81 00:09:56,080 --> 00:10:05,040 should remember when you talk of karakas. The 11th house is the house of gains, is the house of 82 00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:12,160 popularity, it's the house of social media, social networks, that kind of thing. So 11th house is 83 00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:18,080 where Jupiter wants to provide the gains you have worked for so much time in your life and you want 84 00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:25,600 to gain that in terms of popularity, in terms of fame, in terms of gains of wealth. You see in 85 00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:31,680 terms of your speculation in stock market that kind of thing. So Jupiter will provide you gains 86 00:10:31,680 --> 00:10:39,040 there if it's placed there. That's the karaka, that's the side of Jupiter and remember from any one 87 00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:47,920 of these Jupiter will aspect of 7th house, 7th place from itself, the 5th place from itself 88 00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:54,560 and the 9th place from itself. So anywhere in the chart Jupiter is placed if it looks at the 89 00:10:54,560 --> 00:11:03,120 5th or 9th aspect also to these houses number 2, number 5, number 9 and number 11. It becomes an 90 00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:12,000 exalted position. So Jupiter will be providing benefit stuff. Now let's talk about the bad guy 91 00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:19,840 of the zodiac and the malefic planet as called by Vedic astrology Saturn. Saturn is the karaka of 92 00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:30,720 3 houses, the 8th house, the 10th house and the 12th house. Now right of the bat we spoke of Saturn 93 00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:38,400 also in earlier as a gaseous guy. It's also a big gaseous giant of a planet but it wants to do what? 94 00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:46,000 Jupiter wants to expand and become like the sun. Saturn wants to do what? It wants to feel 95 00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:54,640 something. It is full of gas. It wants to feel constantly something earthly. Saturn is the energy 96 00:11:54,640 --> 00:12:01,760 of the other side. Saturn has the lordship or the karaka ship of the other side of the veil 97 00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:08,800 for all the spiritual enthusiast. So if you want to access lower dimensions of existence because 98 00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:17,520 Saturn loves to dig deep. So lower dimensions is accessible by Saturn. He has the lordship of it 99 00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:24,560 because he loves to dig deep. He loves to feel the earth. He loves to feel something that is 100 00:12:24,560 --> 00:12:34,160 concrete in life. That's the energy of Saturn. That's why Saturn stands for all the practical 101 00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:42,960 aspects. He wants to materialize. Saturn has lordship of Aquarius and Capricorn. Capricorn is an 102 00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:50,000 earth sign. It's the strongest sign of Saturn is Capricorn because it wants to ground everything. 103 00:12:55,680 --> 00:13:01,440 So Saturn in Capricorn becomes very exalted. Anyway we digress. So 104 00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:09,040 Saturn in 8th house. Now what's the 8th house stand for? Why is it the karaka of the 8th house? 105 00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:15,920 8th house stands for sudden changes in life, ups and downs and finance. It stands for the life of 106 00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:22,800 the marriage, the relationship, the intimacy, the sexual aspects of the marriage. The intimacy, 107 00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:28,800 what you feel with the other person. It also stands for in-laws. It stands for occult and mysticism. 108 00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:34,480 Do you remember the occult and mysticism? Saturn what is it doing? The guy who wants to ground 109 00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:40,960 in occult and mysticism which is one would think at least is more etheric in nature. 110 00:13:41,680 --> 00:13:46,720 But no, according to Vedic Astrology Saturn has the lordship of it, the karaka of it. 111 00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:53,040 So in any chart if Saturn is in 8th house it automatically becomes mystical because it is 112 00:13:53,040 --> 00:14:01,920 by default the self of Saturn is etheric, it's gas. That's why it provides easy access to the other side. 113 00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:09,920 Saturn provides highly occultic powers, actual powers where you can transform stuff in people's lives. 114 00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:14,640 It's one of the exalted signs for the light worker to have. 115 00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:22,880 Next sign which Saturn becomes karaka of is the 10th house. 10th house is a house of 116 00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:26,800 fame, as a house of career, as a house of occupation, what you do in the world. 117 00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:32,960 The first thing that people ask when you introduce them, hi I'm so and so they will tell 118 00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:40,880 what do you do, right? It's one of the marks of a person in the world. What a person does in the 119 00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:47,200 world as in a profession or a business or a career, differentiates that person from the rest of the 120 00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:53,440 world. The person is known in the external world by that. And Saturn is the karaka, one of the 121 00:14:53,440 --> 00:15:01,680 karakas of the 10th house. That means Saturn gives you the ability to succeed in life, to determine 122 00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:08,480 what you eventually end up doing in life. So it has provides the energy for the 10th house. 123 00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:15,360 So if it's placed in the 10th house, it becomes very exalted or its energy increases because 124 00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:23,520 Saturn automatically wants to give you a good career, right? Next one in the 10th, 12th house 125 00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:31,200 is the house of losses, losses as in material loss to gain spirituality. You have to understand 126 00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:38,880 losses in that respect. So Saturn is also a teacher, but Saturn teaches through harsher life 127 00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:45,520 experiences. Saturn is a harsh planet. That's why the dog of it has a malefic planet in very 128 00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:55,360 gastrometry. So Saturn rules all these houses which are considered malefic, right? The 8th and the 12th house. 129 00:15:55,360 --> 00:16:03,120 The 12th house is loss of material and gain of spirituality, losses of all kinds, traveling 130 00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:11,440 off to foreign lands, settling in foreign lands, etc. So Saturn rules the 12th house also. That 131 00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:17,840 means it provides access to real spirituality, not imagined spirituality. I see so many people 132 00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:23,360 who want to be spiritualists, but they don't have such a kind of arrangement in their chart. 133 00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:31,280 Their thing is more of, their chart is more focused on the groundly, earthly stuff this 134 00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:36,800 lifetime. Of course energies of the planets are ramping up now and everybody's awakening, 135 00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:42,560 awakening to what degree is where I come in. Awakening to what degree are you 136 00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:49,440 signified in your chart itself? It speaks the whole story, it speaks volumes, the chart. 137 00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:59,680 So Saturn here in the 12th house provides that impetus or the knowledge or the energy for 138 00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:05,200 going deeply into spiritual aspect. It becomes the Karma Sthana. It becomes the 139 00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:10,960 place of Karma wherever Saturn is placed. It becomes the house of Karma for that person. 140 00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:17,440 That's where the work starts. Of course it can graduate into different forms, but the work starts 141 00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:24,720 in the place of Karma wherever Saturn sits in. Now Saturn next as per Vedic Astrology has got 142 00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:31,360 again three aspects, just like Jupiter. One is the seventh aspect where it looks to the opposite 143 00:17:31,360 --> 00:17:37,120 house where it wants to bring this to the outer world, the others, self and others. Remember 144 00:17:37,120 --> 00:17:44,960 the seventh aspect we spoke of. The next aspect of Saturn is the third place from itself which 145 00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:51,760 is called the house of effort. The third position from Saturn is where it wants to take effort. 146 00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:57,600 It requires effort in skill development, in communication, in working the puzzle. 147 00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:02,800 Saturn will make a person work in the third place from wherever it is sitting. 148 00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:10,320 The other aspect, the third and the last aspect is the tenth position. So it's the third position, 149 00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:15,680 the seventh position and the tenth position. The tenth position is the place of Karma where you 150 00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:23,520 finally the fruits of Saturn are felt. Where you must finally drive towards as you age and mature. 151 00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:28,240 That's what tenth place from Saturn means in Vedic Astrology. 152 00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:36,800 So that gentleman is my short take on the Karka ship of two planets. Remember both Jupiter and 153 00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:44,560 Saturn are powerful teachers but they have a different style of teaching a person. One teaches 154 00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:51,760 through giving gifts and giving knowledge and giving wisdom and giving just gifts, giving wealth, 155 00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:59,760 giving spouse, giving children. That kind of thing but the other one is a harsh task master, 156 00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:05,680 Saturn. Saturn doesn't give bother so much about your wisdom or your experience. It teaches through 157 00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:11,600 hard life experiences because guess what? People don't learn or come to spirituality without losses. 158 00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:20,400 The loss of materialism and gain of spirituality, this is how Vedic texts speak of. You can't be a 159 00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:26,240 big industrialist. It's only go towards spirituality because they are contradictory. They are opposite 160 00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:33,440 sides of a coin. One wants to go deep towards materialism while you can but then you won't 161 00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:43,360 have access to spirituality. Loss of materialism, loss of health or loss of this and that is where 162 00:19:43,360 --> 00:19:48,960 Saturn changes the direction of a person towards spiritual houses. That's why it has the lordship 163 00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:56,080 of Karka ship of the spiritual houses like number eight and number 12. These both are of occult 164 00:19:56,080 --> 00:20:02,480 mysticism and spirituality. How does it come in? Well this is how Saturn provides the necessary 165 00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:10,320 loss, the necessary hard life experiences of loss of health or loss of people in your life, 166 00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:18,720 near and dear ones by death. Loss of material, loss of money, loss of property, loss of people in your 167 00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:26,800 life, loss of spouse, loss of children. So any kind of loss is just a gain of spirituality. 168 00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:33,120 That's how Saturn works. Understand this is how Saturn works. It's a harsh teacher. Both are 169 00:20:33,120 --> 00:20:38,720 teachers but the energies are very different. One wants to gift and one wants to take away 170 00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:45,600 and teach you through hard work and life experience. Just keep this in mind when you read the charts 171 00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:52,480 and then we'll speak about some more good stuff tomorrow.
