1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,680
Good morning ladies and gentlemen, welcome to my channel.

2
00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:10,400
Now we will talk about the bodily constitution and how it relates to healing and how it relates

3
00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:16,320
to Vedic Astrology and also Ayurveda but this is a little bit of Ayurveda that is all.

4
00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:19,460
Ayurveda is a huge compendium by itself.

5
00:00:19,460 --> 00:00:22,960
You can go back and investigate more on Ayurvedic texts.

6
00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:25,280
I am just trying to give you a brief introduction here.

7
00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:29,440
Now those who are new to my channel and are listening on podcasts please see the YouTube

8
00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:33,320
link for this playlist and other aspects.

9
00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:38,640
So without further ado as you can see on the screen there are the planets and listed against

10
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:43,320
that are various energies which govern these planets.

11
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:51,600
Now Ayurveda and the body constitution talks about three doshas or three kinds of energies

12
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:58,760
which circulate in the body called Vata, Pitta and Kafa.

13
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:02,680
Vata, Pitta and Kafa now what are these three?

14
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:08,000
Vata is body's air and ether combined.

15
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:13,400
Pitta is body's fire and water combined.

16
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:17,200
Kafa is body's water and earth combined.

17
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:21,760
We will talk more about this in a minute but let's just see which planet is responsible

18
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:28,240
for what and I wanted to keep an eye on this pie over here and the ascendants in the inner

19
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:33,560
circle which planet governs what as I talk about this.

20
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:36,440
Keep a watch on that.

21
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:40,040
Sun governs Pitta.

22
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:44,760
Moon governs Vata and Kafa.

23
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:50,520
Mercury governs Vata, Pitta and Kafa depending upon what it's associated with and which

24
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:54,760
ascendant it comes in and where it sits.

25
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:58,480
Venus governs Vata and Kafa.

26
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:01,640
Mars governs Pitta.

27
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:04,360
Jupiter governs Kafa.

28
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:07,160
Saturn governs Vata.

29
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:10,720
North and South of the Moon have no say in the health matters.

30
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:15,240
Maybe to an extent where the dispositors sit as I talked about the dispositors in first

31
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:19,960
or second part of the basics can go back and see that.

32
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:22,920
Let's focus on the Pitta part.

33
00:02:22,920 --> 00:02:24,800
Pitta is the heat.

34
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:30,240
Body's fire plus water like you say like it's written there.

35
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:33,880
So Sun and Mars are basically Pitta planets.

36
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:34,880
Why?

37
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:36,920
Because these are fiery planets.

38
00:02:36,920 --> 00:02:39,240
These have fire in them.

39
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:44,440
So that's why they govern the body's fire aspect.

40
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:46,640
Moon governs Vata and Kafa.

41
00:02:46,640 --> 00:02:52,000
Another one which governs Vata and Kafa is Venus as you can see.

42
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:54,040
Vata is body's air and ether.

43
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:59,800
So this Vata and Kafa both together are air and ether.

44
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:01,600
Kafa is body's water and earth.

45
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:08,960
So Moon ruled ascendants and Moon wherever it is placed and in the water signs we make

46
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:16,680
a person very watery constitution and maybe having a lot of gas, a lot of flatulence,

47
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:21,480
that kind of an energy because they are governed by this.

48
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:27,480
Mercury can have all three of them in whichever proportion it sits like I said.

49
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:33,560
The two major ones to be seen here are Jupiter and Saturn.

50
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:36,560
Jupiter governs Kafa that is body's water and earth.

51
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:40,720
That's why Jupiter wherever it sits can make a person fat.

52
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:46,360
Jupiter can make a person prone to eating a lot of sweets, a lot of fat and it governs

53
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:48,320
fat as well.

54
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:52,320
So Jupiter governs Kafa there, body's water and earth.

55
00:03:52,320 --> 00:04:01,120
It's very earthly in its approach to bodily energies and Saturn governs Vata only is very

56
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:07,120
etheric with air and ether, these people where lot of Vata is present especially the

57
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:13,800
air signs, air signs of Gemini, Libra and Aquarius because these are air signs.

58
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:18,520
So we'll talk about them in zodiacs in a minute.

59
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:22,960
These people can have a lot of flatulence, gas, bloating, those kinds of issues.

60
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:25,680
This is how the basic issues form.

61
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:33,800
The fire signs, Aries and Leo predominantly because one is ruled by Mars, one is ruled

62
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:38,200
by Sun, they can have a lot of Pitta related problems where depending upon where the Mars

63
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:45,720
is situated and where the Sun is situated in their chart.

64
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:51,120
Venus and Moon can make them very, you know, holding a lot of water, water retention kind

65
00:04:51,120 --> 00:05:00,960
of problems especially if it sits in the water signs which are cancer, Scorpio and Sagittarius

66
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:05,200
and especially in Scorpio it might have a water retention problem because Scorpio stands

67
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:07,960
for still water.

68
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:13,960
Even Pisces and Cancer can have it, these water related issues, water retention, kidneys,

69
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:15,960
bladder that kind of thing.

70
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:21,880
Now talking a bit more on Vata and Pitta and Kaffa and what do they really mean in bodily

71
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:26,520
terms in modern medical language, what could they stand for?

72
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:30,360
I have another some information for you which we should briefly see.

73
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:34,720
Then we get to the other parts of the constitution.

74
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:35,720
So what is Vata?

75
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:39,080
Here I have put very briefly the definition.

76
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:42,960
Again, Ayurveda is a huge discipline in itself.

77
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:46,760
You'll have to go and check it out for yourself if you're more interested in seeing this.

78
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:54,640
We are just talking from astrological perspective and giving basic definitions only.

79
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:56,600
So Vata, what is Vata?

80
00:05:56,600 --> 00:06:02,960
The energy of movement in the body, anything that moves, the principle of mobility regulates

81
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:05,120
all fluid flows in the body.

82
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:11,080
Fluids can be blood, it can be lymph, it can be enzymes, it can be hormones, all our fluids

83
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:17,680
remember our body is filled with 98% fluids in various chemical forms also like hormones

84
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:21,320
and enzymes and so on, even blood.

85
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:23,040
So it regulates that flow.

86
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:31,320
Vata is an energy of movement and see Saturn is responsible for that over here.

87
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:37,440
It is also responsible for elimination, movement within mind and body, even thoughts, even

88
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:43,160
feelings, all movement, it is responsible for movement, it is responsible for all movement

89
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:48,200
like breathing, blinking eyes, breathing heart, etc.

90
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:54,240
Just on the side here, Saturn is also the Karaka of the 8th and 12th houses, it's also

91
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:59,880
responsible for the life of a person, longevity.

92
00:06:59,880 --> 00:07:05,320
So think of this, the breath and the beating heart are conditioned to a person's life

93
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:06,320
and longevity.

94
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:13,640
This right there gives a clue, Saturn governs that Vata only, it is focused only on that,

95
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:19,600
when in balance Vata person is likely to be lively and energetic.

96
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:24,680
Okay, next let's talk about Pitta, what does Pitta provide?

97
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:31,360
The heat, the principle of digestion, catabolism, catabolism is everything that part of our

98
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:37,280
metabolism which breaks down things, when we take in food it has to be broken down into

99
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:42,440
simple molecules for the body to be absorbed, proteins into amino acids and so on and so

100
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:44,600
forth, right?

101
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:48,160
Carbohydrates into sugars, all this breaking down is catabolism.

102
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:54,400
Okay, the process of digestion, absorption, responsible for regulating the body temperature

103
00:07:54,400 --> 00:08:01,960
through chemical transformation of food, digestion, absorption, assimilation, nutrition, which

104
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:07,560
all form a part of metabolism really, promoting vitality and appetite.

105
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:12,880
So the Pitta in Ayurveda is also considered the centric to number 5, the 5th house which

106
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:18,680
is responsible for your belly, the stomach, it's also called Jatra Agni or the fire in

107
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:19,680
the stomach.

108
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:24,840
Ayurvedic physicians typically believe that the fire in the stomach is what digests the

109
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:32,320
food, our life force or the prana as the fire in the stomach is what breaks down the food

110
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:34,920
into assimilable parts.

111
00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:39,880
When imbalanced it can lead to anger, agitation, cause ulcers, inflammation.

112
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:45,360
This is the inflammation energy, this is a lot of talk of inflammation, how to resolve

113
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:50,560
it in the body because of all these modern day drugs which have tons of side effects

114
00:08:50,560 --> 00:08:53,720
and other things that's going on, right?

115
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:57,600
So that's what happens with Pitta energy.

116
00:08:57,600 --> 00:08:59,600
Last one, Kafa.

117
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:04,760
Lose lead, you will find popular translations as mucus, that's just one of the thing.

118
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:08,960
Kafa is basically structure and lubrication.

119
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:15,280
It provides all the lubricants needed inside the body, maintains body resistance, immunity,

120
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:18,240
yes who is ruling that, Jupiter.

121
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:22,960
Responsible for nourishment and lubrication, primarily responsible for anabolism.

122
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:23,960
What is anabolism?

123
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:26,000
Opposite of catabolism.

124
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:29,240
Catabolism breaks it down into simpler molecules.

125
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:34,560
Once it goes in the body, it has to be reassembled by all hormones and everything that goes on

126
00:09:34,560 --> 00:09:39,680
in the body as part of metabolism, enzymes, hormones, blood, everything.

127
00:09:39,680 --> 00:09:46,560
It reassembles into complex structures like proteins, like muscles, like cellular tissue,

128
00:09:46,560 --> 00:09:53,920
process of building body, growth, creation of new cells as well as cell repair and rejuvenation.

129
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:55,920
Who governs that?

130
00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:57,960
Jupiter.

131
00:09:57,960 --> 00:09:59,760
That is Kafa.

132
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:04,400
Not mucus as is loosely translated, I had to go through a ton of stuff out there on the

133
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:10,160
web and different books to come across this clear definition of what is Vata, Pitta and

134
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:12,960
Kafa.

135
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:17,640
So keep this in mind as we go through and you can use this also when we come to the

136
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:18,640
ascendance.

137
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:26,120
Now let's check out something interesting.

138
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:29,800
This is the Zodiac Body League Constitution.

139
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:34,800
Now we discussed Vata, Pitta and Kafa, I have put out the definitions here as you can see

140
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:39,360
and I have also put the planetary symbols next to them which is governing which we just

141
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:40,360
saw.

142
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:45,600
Now we have four types of science which I have marked in colour code on this pie as

143
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:46,600
you can see.

144
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:53,000
The orange ones marked all from 1 through 12, orange ones are all fire signs, brown ones

145
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:57,600
are all earth signs, green ones are air signs and blue ones are water signs.

146
00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:00,960
Those are the legend over there.

147
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:03,200
What is the principle here?

148
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:09,720
The fire signs indicate more Pitta obviously because it is fire and it is hot, right?

149
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:11,400
Sun and Mars.

150
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:15,240
The earth signs indicate more Vata presence.

151
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:17,160
Again why?

152
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:21,080
Because Saturn also rules Vata as we just saw.

153
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:24,520
Vata is predominantly ruled by Saturn as you can see there.

154
00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:29,400
Kafa is ruled by Jupiter as you can see there and there are some common planets as we should

155
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:30,400
see.

156
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:38,040
So, air signs indicate mixed attributes of both, of all three Vata, Pitta and Kafa like

157
00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:39,040
Mercury.

158
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:42,920
Mercury is responsible for all three depending upon association.

159
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:47,680
Mercury is a friend to whoever it sits with, right?

160
00:11:47,680 --> 00:11:50,320
So it is a little bit of double standards of Mercury there.

161
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:53,440
It does not have any character of its own.

162
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:57,680
It just takes on the character of whoever it is sitting or looking at.

163
00:11:57,680 --> 00:12:03,840
Water signs indicates Kafa which is predominantly ruled by Jupiter.

164
00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:07,760
Now as you can see in the planets which I have listed again here against Vata, Pitta

165
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:10,720
and Kafa, Mercury follows all the three.

166
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:15,560
That means it can be in any one of them.

167
00:12:15,560 --> 00:12:23,400
Sun and Mars as you can see there are only Pitta, Vata is only in, Saturn is only in

168
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:26,120
Vata, it is not in other energies.

169
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:30,520
And Moon and Venus are both present in Vata as well as Kafa.

170
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:35,760
But Jupiter is the only one responsible for Kafa and Kafa only.

171
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:38,560
Now how does this play out?

172
00:12:38,560 --> 00:12:40,000
Why have I put this over here?

173
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:47,880
The 12 zodiac signs, the basic rashes as they call them in Sanskrit, they are responsible

174
00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:51,040
for governing the lords of the Ascendant.

175
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:55,200
So all these Ascendant lords that you see around that I am pointing to right from Mars

176
00:12:55,200 --> 00:13:00,200
up till Jupiter, Mars in Aries to Jupiter in Piscis 12.

177
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:01,700
These have these energies.

178
00:13:01,700 --> 00:13:05,920
These are the energies of Vata, Pitta and Kafa that I have put over here.

179
00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:08,720
So what does this tell us?

180
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:16,560
These people have the predominant disposition towards that particular energy of Vata or

181
00:13:16,560 --> 00:13:19,120
Pitta or Kafa or a mixture of those.

182
00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:23,240
Remember Pitta is fire plus water.

183
00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:29,440
The water predominance in Pitta and Kafa is a lot because 90% of our body is water.

184
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:34,840
However, the movement takes place with Vata, energy of movement like it is shown there

185
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:36,520
and that is mainly Saturn.

186
00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:44,680
There are lots of clues here you can derive about how to handle the health aspect looking

187
00:13:44,680 --> 00:13:52,240
at this principles of Ayurveda tied to Vedic Astrology.

188
00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:55,320
Here is another good one for you.

189
00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:57,760
The planet's taste and preference.

190
00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:03,280
This is one hint I got which is very useful depending upon what tastes your child has

191
00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:08,200
or what tastes you have from time to time you can tell which principle is governing

192
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:10,040
more in your body.

193
00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:13,360
The Sun governs bitter flavors.

194
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:16,560
The Moon governs salty flavors.

195
00:14:16,560 --> 00:14:19,400
Mercury governs mixed flavors.

196
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:22,720
Remember Mercury is common to all the three.

197
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:26,560
Venus governs sour flavors.

198
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:30,440
Mars governs pungent flavors.

199
00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:33,600
Jupiter governs sweet flavors.

200
00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:36,640
Saturn governs astringent flavors.

201
00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:38,640
This is just a hint.

202
00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:42,480
Again this is all taken from Ayurvedic principles really.

203
00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:47,320
But the planets that govern it will tell you looking at a chart and looking at just asking

204
00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:51,400
a person normal questions like what taste do you normally prefer which is your favorite

205
00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:55,600
taste or which is a combination of your favorite taste that will tell the amount of planets

206
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:59,080
predominantly running through their chart.

207
00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:03,160
Then you can go and have a look at the chart and then find out.

208
00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:05,040
This person has got Sun and Moon over here.

209
00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:12,520
So their Vata, Pitta or Kaffa is working like this for them.

210
00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:18,320
Next let's have a quick look at body type and ascendant and we shall close that one

211
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:19,320
with this.

212
00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:20,320
It's 15 minutes.

213
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:22,160
I know we will take a little bit of time.

214
00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:24,600
It's very interesting.

215
00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:29,840
Now the ascendant is the governing principle for the body and characteristics in any person.

216
00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:34,360
Now I put the pie again over there on the right top corner.

217
00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:38,400
So you can keep looking at all the ascendants which I am showing right now.

218
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:44,400
So Sun makes body or body parts dry and hot.

219
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:48,640
Moon makes body or parts wet and retain water.

220
00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:53,640
This is what a retention thing happening in Moon.

221
00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:57,920
It affects only as per Nakshatra rulers which we will get to later.

222
00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:02,360
The outer ones, the outer circle and all the planets that you see there.

223
00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:03,800
Or as per Mahadasha if any.

224
00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:08,160
Mercury does not have any say in and of itself.

225
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:10,800
Venus makes body or parts wet and retain water.

226
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:15,440
So Venus and Moon as you can see somewhat behave the same.

227
00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:18,240
So does Jupiter but one additional there.

228
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:22,400
Mars makes body parts dry and hot just like Sun.

229
00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:27,360
So people who are more dominant Mars or Sun they can become lean because it keeps drying

230
00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:28,360
it.

231
00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:32,840
They can have a lot of ulcer and stomach related issues because it affects the fifth house.

232
00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:35,560
See you can keep on going forward like that.

233
00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:40,400
We will take up case studies later so I can show you this better.

234
00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:46,640
Jupiter makes body parts wet, retain water and fat.

235
00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:50,440
Saturn makes body parts dry and lean as well.

236
00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:54,840
Saturn is a thin guy, thin old guy is Saturn.

237
00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:55,840
That kind of energy.

238
00:16:55,840 --> 00:17:01,040
Rao Ketu on the other hand affects only as per Nakshatra rulers and Mahadasha if any.

239
00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:02,040
The dispositor factor.

240
00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:05,440
Rao and Ketu are all about dispositors.

241
00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:09,920
Means who is the lord of the house where it is sitting and how is that placed in the

242
00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:13,800
chart depending upon that they will have those issues.

243
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:18,240
It might be dispositor based although nothing much is spoken about that.

244
00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:20,800
Alright I will leave you with this much.

245
00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:25,320
Thank you for your likes and subscribes and if you keep watching I will bring you more

246
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:26,320
good stuff.

247
00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:53,280
Baby kalab Goone.
