1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,720 Hi again welcome back to the healing astrology series if you're watching 2 00:00:05,720 --> 00:00:11,360 on podcast or listening on podcast please see the link in the description box 3 00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:18,360 to the YouTube channel playlist. Okay continuing on the part two of Planet 4 00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:23,280 Reference and Enemy. So I want to focus a little bit more on this Yoga Karaka. What 5 00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:30,180 is the concept of yoga karaka in Vedic astrology? So we saw in the beginning the 6 00:00:30,180 --> 00:00:34,680 friends, Sun has different friends, Moon has different friends, different enemies. 7 00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:39,840 Each planet including the North node and South node even if they don't have 8 00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:47,520 Perse enemies the dispositor or the one the Lord of the house in which North or 9 00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:52,480 South node are sitting, Rahu and Ketu are the North node or the South node of the 10 00:00:52,480 --> 00:00:57,840 Moon will assume their characteristic the Lord of that house. We are talking 11 00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:04,640 about as I'm pointing here in the inner circle of zodiac the 12 signs and their 12 00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:11,240 Lordship is indicated Lordship of the sign. The placement in the houses will be 13 00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:16,960 different because the ascendant is different. Like I mentioned if Sun is 14 00:01:16,960 --> 00:01:23,880 the ascendant, if it's the Leo rising sign German Virgo will be the second 15 00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:30,120 house, Libra will be the third house, Scorpio fourth house, Saichde fifth house 16 00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:37,000 and so on. So it goes for every ascendant. If Aries is the rising sign 17 00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:43,080 Taurus becomes the second house and the Lord of which is Venus. So the Lordship 18 00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:46,560 is crucial to understand that's why I want to spend some more time talking to 19 00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:53,200 you about it. Okay and what is the Yogaraka in context to the Lordship? The 20 00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:57,920 Friends whoever you see in blue over here marked the Friends right up till 21 00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:03,200 Saturn. Every planet has a particular friendship with some other planet. So 22 00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:07,000 think of it as you're playing in the field of planets here. The planets 23 00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:12,520 themselves have a personality, they have a friend and they have neutral to someone 24 00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:19,560 and they have enemies to some other ones. So everything in Vedic 25 00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:26,240 Astrology is based on Drishti or Saith or looking at the way if Sun looks at 26 00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:32,160 Moon, Mars and Jupiter the first one there on the list is in a friendly way. 27 00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:39,120 The way the Sun looks at Venus and Saturn is an inimical way. That's why if the 28 00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:46,600 enemy planets are placed in the Lordship of the Sun that is Leo then it will not 29 00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:51,520 do very well. It loses some of its good strength or whatever it can provide. 30 00:02:51,520 --> 00:03:01,080 Good or bad. That being said the friend ones for the Sun as an example here in 31 00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:06,360 the Leo ascendant, in the Leo sign if Moon, Mars and Jupiter are sitting they 32 00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:11,640 are in a friendly sign. So those become the Yogakaraka. Yogakaraka means 33 00:03:11,640 --> 00:03:16,360 what's the yoga in this context not the physical yoga that you sit and do. Yoga 34 00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:20,560 means a combination of planets in context to Vedic Astrology. There are more 35 00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:25,000 than 108 yogas we might get into it some time later. That's completely another 36 00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:30,800 topic okay. It's a very detailed. There are lots of different kind of yogas or a 37 00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:35,880 combination of planets arrangement of planets and in different houses for 38 00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:39,800 different ascendants for different nakshatras and so on so forth. It's like a 39 00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:45,360 rabbit hole in and of itself. We're not going to go and talk about yoga at this 40 00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:52,040 point. Just want to mention it to you. Yogakaraka means these planets which are 41 00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:58,640 friends to the particular planet and therefore the Lordship of the house. They 42 00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:03,560 become the Yogakaraka means if they are occupying those particular signs with 43 00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:11,400 their friends with it's and in certain positions and houses it becomes very 44 00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:17,440 exalted for that particular individual okay. Just wanted to keep that as a side 45 00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:24,160 for you to note here. So that becomes a Yogakaraka. Friends are Yogakaraka's for 46 00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:27,440 every planet depending upon which ascendant depending upon which sign 47 00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:33,520 etc. For example Saturn is a Yogakaraka for Taurus and for Libra because both are 48 00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:40,240 ruled by Venus. Just giving you a random example over there. So now let's look at 49 00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:45,920 natural friends and enemies. Natural benefits and malefics. This is pertaining 50 00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:49,840 to the planets. We are still talking about the planets and as respect to Zodiac 51 00:04:49,840 --> 00:04:54,560 we are not yet come to nakshatra. I will do that later. Keep following this one so 52 00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:57,960 you will know what it is. If you're not subscribed I advise you to subscribe 53 00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:04,720 because there's lots more material coming in. So natural benefits and malefics. 54 00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:10,520 What does this mean? Natural benefits and malefics list is as shown here. This 55 00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:20,200 pertinence to the 12 zodiacs and their lords. Sun as ego is cruel. As ego because 56 00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:24,840 Sun also stands for the soul. The soul is not cruel but when it becomes embodied 57 00:05:24,840 --> 00:05:30,360 as the Sun which wants to seek an egotistical fixed standpoint, Sun is 58 00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:36,600 very fixed in its attribute, can become cruel. I'm just listing this as it is 59 00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:43,280 listed in the Vedic Astrology. Benefic. Moon can be benefit as in provide good 60 00:05:43,280 --> 00:05:48,720 results in a waxing one. That means it is going from new moon to the full moon. 61 00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:56,320 It can become malefic in a waning style. Means it's going from full moon to the 62 00:05:56,320 --> 00:06:01,640 new moon cycle. So moon has basically two halves. They call it the Shukla paksha and 63 00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:06,400 Krishna paksha of the month. Every month it goes to two cycles. One it is going 64 00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:11,400 towards full moon. When it is going towards full moon away from the Sun and 65 00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:18,840 to the opposite house 180 degrees away from the Sun. When it is in that cycle it 66 00:06:18,840 --> 00:06:24,680 is waxing moon. That means it is moving from new moon to the full moon stage. 67 00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:28,800 Those 15 days. That's the when moon becomes 68 00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:33,160 benefic and the more it is towards full moon the more benefic it is. It's a 69 00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:38,800 question of degrees because moon is constantly waxing and waning. From full 70 00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:43,400 moon going towards new moon that is the Krishna paksha. That means when it is 71 00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:48,800 going in the new moon stage. When it's losing its illuminance. When moon starts 72 00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:52,800 losing its illuminance slowly. From full moon going towards the new moon it 73 00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:58,560 becomes malefic. As in it provides bad results. This is why I had made another 74 00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:03,440 video if you're watching the channel about what defines a person as 75 00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:10,560 optimist and a pessimist. In the natal chart if your moon is positioned as waxing 76 00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:14,640 moon you'll be more of a glass half full kind of a person. You'll be an 77 00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:20,920 optimistic person by nature. Of course you can change that. That's the reason I'm 78 00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:24,680 bringing all of this stuff. It's so that you can take some consciousness about it 79 00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:30,840 and awareness and move in a conscious direction. Not unconscious drifting. Left 80 00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:34,960 to themselves if people do not know this stuff they will be either say I am an 81 00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:38,680 optimist or I'm a pessimist. There's no such thing folks. You can decide what you 82 00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:44,920 want to be. So if your moon is in a waning style for example in your natal 83 00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:50,720 chart if it's going from full moon towards the new moon those 15 days you'll 84 00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:55,640 have tendency to be kind of losing the positive aspect of life. You might tend to 85 00:07:55,640 --> 00:08:00,160 be a more pessimistic glass half empty kind of a person. This is the 86 00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:07,960 reason why. Mercury is neither benefit nor malefic. It is as per association with 87 00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:11,800 others. Mercury stands for intellect, mind, 88 00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:18,520 buddhi. The intellectual logical reasoning capacity of the mind is 89 00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:24,400 mercury and it takes the form and fashion. It can become benefit or malefic 90 00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:29,760 depending upon who it is sitting or looking at or which house or which nakshatra 91 00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:35,080 okay. If it is sitting for example with a natural 92 00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:42,600 animic like sun it can become very cruel in its intellect. If it's sitting with a 93 00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:48,680 natural benefit like Venus as you can see over here the next one then it tends 94 00:08:48,680 --> 00:08:54,320 to become more good natured. Good natured intellect versus bad natured intellect. 95 00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:58,640 Now this in itself shows that the intellect is a movable energy. It's a 96 00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:04,160 rajasic energy. It can go in either direction. You can use your intellect 97 00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:08,720 for the good or for the bad depending on the context. So discernment is a big key 98 00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:14,920 over here right there is highlighted in the Vedic text. Venus is a natural 99 00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:21,040 benefit that means it invariably tends to provide good results in and of itself 100 00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:26,200 doesn't matter where it is placed. It might just have a little less result if 101 00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:32,160 it is in enemy houses like we saw in friends and enemies but that will dampen 102 00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:36,680 the effect of the good one but it will not do anything bad in and of itself. 103 00:09:36,680 --> 00:09:42,160 That's what I mean by natural benefits and malefics. Mars is a natural malefic. 104 00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:48,240 It provides aggression anger and drive in whatever it sits. So natural tendency 105 00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:55,600 of Mars is to provide aggression by force the one who cuts the one who is 106 00:09:55,600 --> 00:10:03,160 violent that's the Mars energy by default. Jupiter is a natural benefit so as 107 00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:07,240 you can see there are only two natural benefits really speaking. Moon is 108 00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:13,720 shifting of course. The always natural benefits are only Jupiter and Venus. They 109 00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:17,640 provide good results doesn't matter where they sit and how they sit might be 110 00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:21,400 less might be more depending upon if they're sitting in a friendly lord house 111 00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:27,440 or an enemy lord house. Okay that's all it is. Saturn is again like Mars a 112 00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:32,640 natural malefic. It provides restriction it makes you work hard to get 113 00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:38,520 something. It provides a kind of a depressive kind of state of mind because 114 00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:42,320 Saturn also is responsible for nerves which we shall see next. We shall see 115 00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:47,120 all these physical aspects and mental aspects later, psychological aspects later. 116 00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:53,800 Rahu and Ketu the north and the south node of the moon are also naturally malefic 117 00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:58,400 meaning they provide excessive obsession we shall see characteristics 118 00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:03,000 psychologically of each one of these later. The psychology of the planets will 119 00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:07,560 come later I think I'll do another video on that. It's already 11 minutes in the video 120 00:11:07,560 --> 00:11:13,600 so I don't want to take too much time in one video you can focus yourself. Rahu 121 00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:19,040 and Ketu they are not planets by themselves they are naturally malefic why 122 00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:26,000 because they provide one provides obsessive attachment towards one aspect 123 00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:33,200 which aspect whatever house it is sitting in the dispositor of that meaning 124 00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:40,760 which whichever planet lord rules that house for example if Rahu is sitting in 125 00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:48,120 the sign of Leo the lord of Leo is the Sun so Rahu placed here will start 126 00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:52,600 acting like the Sun it can become too egotistical in matters of that house 127 00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:58,080 wherever Leo is placed in the chart for example in Aquarius Leo is placed in the 128 00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:03,400 seventh house the house of spouse so they may get excessively egotistical with 129 00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:09,160 the spouse just one example it is taking on the color of the Lord that's what 130 00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:14,520 dispositor means it is disposed towards acting like the Lord of the house in 131 00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:19,640 whichever house Rahu sits in. Ketu is just the opposite it sits in the opposite 132 00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:27,120 house in this example if Rahu is sitting in the Aquarius ascendant in the seventh 133 00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:30,920 house Ketu is sitting in the first house so it makes them detached from 134 00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:35,200 themselves they're always looking towards dominating the spouse but they 135 00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:39,360 don't know who they are it makes them disconnected with themselves because 136 00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:44,760 Ketu is sitting in the first house both of these are illusory aspects they are 137 00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:50,360 not real planets it's just in your mind it's just an illusion these are 138 00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:55,200 illusory aspects of our nature they're just troublemakers unnecessary 139 00:12:55,200 --> 00:13:01,560 troublemakers okay think of it that way all right so I will continue this in the 140 00:13:01,560 --> 00:13:07,200 next one next we will go for psychology of the planet since we are already 141 00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:12,560 bordering on talking about that I hope you have understood the more clearly the 142 00:13:12,560 --> 00:13:18,240 Lordship of the houses which they sit in and the friends and enemies this is 143 00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:23,760 crucial because the way the planet looks at another planet is everything just to 144 00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:27,600 conclude here I just thought of something let me just quickly share it with 145 00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:37,040 you coming back to friends and enemies a classical example would be moon does not 146 00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:43,240 have any enemies you see the moon is neutral towards a whole bunch of 147 00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:50,640 planets Venus Mars Jupiter and Saturn is neutral that is moon so moon is not 148 00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:58,400 looking at follow the terms here looking at enemy and anybody has enemy it is 149 00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:03,080 neutral to everybody else or it has friends doesn't mean everybody else has 150 00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:10,200 moon as the friend look at how many how how many planets have moon as the enemy 151 00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:14,400 if the planets have enemy therefore the Lord of the house also has enemy right 152 00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:20,600 by extension so Mercury is enemies with the moon Venus is enemies with the moon 153 00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:27,320 Saturn is enemies with the moon so whichever sign it is placed in for 154 00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:34,000 example if moon is placed in the house of Gemini or Virgo ruled by Gemini ruled 155 00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:39,440 by Mercury or if moon is placed in Taurus or Libra or if moon is placed in 156 00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:44,840 Aquarius or Capricorn all of these are ruled by this particular planets these 157 00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:50,080 signs they have a Lordship these planets have Lordship over those signs like it 158 00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:56,640 shown over here so you need to remember this so it is not necessary just because 159 00:14:56,640 --> 00:15:01,320 moon doesn't have doesn't look at anybody else as enemies there are some 160 00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:07,920 other three guys like Mercury Venus and Saturn who look at moon as enemy see so 161 00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:12,080 it depends upon the drishti it depends upon the site which one you're looking 162 00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:16,080 at it doesn't mean if someone planet does not have enemies the other ones don't 163 00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:21,720 look at that one as the enemy so enemy site in this case is going one-way 164 00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:27,240 traffic these three chaps look at moon as enemy but moon doesn't look at these 165 00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:33,840 three as enemies so it depends upon how it is placed just keep that in mind next 166 00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:41,680 we will talk about natural benefits and malefics we finish that we'll talk about 167 00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:48,160 psychology of planets okay take care keep watching subscribe to the my channel 168 00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:53,680 the playlist and if you're watching on listening on podcast you can click on 169 00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:58,080 the playlist for the complete list and you can see which one you'd like to 170 00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:02,320 study today take care be safe thank you for all your like share 171 00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:13,840 subscribe and I'll catch you on the next one
