Dharma, Artha, Kama and Moksha.
Now these are very popular terms in India
simply because it has been interpreted and misinterpreted many times over.
Of what is your Dharma? What is the path?
It is defined as the path you should walk in life.
Now from the astrological perspective,
since there are 12 houses, 27 nakshatras and all these planets
playing out in each one of these houses and nakshatras as well.
And it falls in Dharma, Artha, Kama and Moksha,
steps or pada within a nakshatra.
Your soul basically is doing nothing more than playing out in prominence
or in dominance of any one of these themes that means to say,
your soul might be playing out more of Dharma, more of Artha, more of Kama
or more of Moksha depending upon what majority of planets or points are playing out.
Right?
There is nothing like you have to do something else other than what your soul
is telling you via your astrological chart.
You are already doing it by default. You are already following your path.
What we are trying to understand by astrological tools is just how best you can do
whatever it is that your soul is asking you to do this lifetime around.
Even if you don't believe any of this stuff, even if you don't
are the least spiritual kind of a person, you are still playing out your Dharma,
Artha, Kama and Moksha. That's what it is.
So if you see the box over there, the house's perspective,
this is what the house is demanding.
The house, first house becomes Dharma, second house becomes Artha, Kama and Moksha
at the fourth house. Then the cycle begins again.
From the fifth house, Dharma, Artha, Kama and Moksha up till eighth house.
Then it begins the third and the last time.
From the ninth house, Dharma, Artha, Kama and Moksha up till twelfth house.
This is from the house perspective and it will always remain the same.
It doesn't matter what the Ascendant is.
Even if the Ascendant is Pisces, the Dharma will still remain in the first house.
Even if it is Virgo, it will still remain in the first house.
So from the house perspective, Dharma, Artha, Kama and Moksha play out like this.
In every chart, it will always be the same.
It doesn't shift just because the Ascendant shifts.
The Ascendant of Virgo is more like Artha, more like means, right?
Virgo is a grounded sign.
So it's an earthy sign.
Even if house six appears in the first house in Dharma, it is still, it's Dharma to do that.
You understand what I'm saying?
Now let's see from the Nakshatra perspective.
I've just taken Asilesha as an example over here.
Now in every Nakshatra, we saw four padas, four steps it takes, which is Dharma, Artha, Kama and Moksha.
Asilesha goes for example from sixteen degrees, forty minutes of cancer, up till thirty degrees of cancer.
This is the finishing up of Cancer Zodiac.
And in Nawamchai, it plays out from Sagittarius all the way up till Pisces.
That's what Asilesha Nakshatra means.
Now in there also you see the Dharma padha, Artha padha, Kama padha and Moksha padha, the four steps.
That means to say, every Dharma padha of every Nakshatra will always be a fire sign.
In this case, it is Sagittarius.
The Artha padha will invariably be in Nawamchai, an earth sign.
In this case, it is Capricorn.
And Kama padha in every Nakshatra, in the third padha will invariably be an air sign.
In this case, being Aquarius.
And Moksha padha finally will be a water sign, in this case going from cancer to Pisces.
We are looking at the Nawamchai transgression, yes.
So that means to say, in every single chart, in every single planet also will fall into these respective slots.
There are basically four elements we are dealing with.
Earth, air, fire and water, which is Dharma, Artha, Kama and Moksha.
So your soul, when it comes in embodied form, is playing out these four kinds of energies.
Either you are seeking Dharma as in seeking fire and the desire to initiate things, desire to accomplish stuff.
Artha, as in you are trying to get the means to accomplish something.
The materialistic means that you need to accomplish something in this physical world.
Kama means you are here to fulfill more of your desire factor, whatever the desires might be.
Sometimes a soul just comes to fulfill some desire, some leftover from past lives, kind of so to speak.
And then there is the Moksha sign, which finally distills everything into an emotion.
Whatever we do in this physical world is finally to derive that final quotient of emotion, which is what Moksha means.
We are not speaking about spiritual kind of Moksha, which is liberation from birth and death and all that kind of stuff.
We are talking about everyday people like you and me and how the charge can be interpreted in this fashion.
So as to understand a more grounded approach in how we analyze and how we cultivate a useful, meaningful understanding of how to guide ourselves and others around us using these Vedic Astrology tools.
Let's take an example because next video onwards I shall be doing some case studies and let's analyze this.
So this is what we will be doing in the case studies next video onwards.
The example is given over there of a birth chart.
And as you can see from ascendant right up till Pluto, there is this P with a hashtag.
This is the Pada, which it takes. The planet and the ascendant takes that particular Pada.
So if we take a dominance of the Padas this person has, it is more of number one as you can see.
So this person is more interested in initiating stuff. They are the kind of initiating energy.
They have more fire element present in initiating the planets.
Wherever they are deposited in any one of these houses, the 12 houses, they will give us the signature of what the drive of the individual is.
They are the initiators of something. They come in this entire life to initiate things, new beginnings, finding new institutions, finding new ways to do things.
That kind of energy drives them. All the planets are deposited in this particular Pada as you can see.
So this is one of the things that could be considered while evaluating the chart.
And this also falls within the particular nakshatra like you can see.
For example, her mercury is in the first Pada of Aslesha.
So first Pada of Aslesha is in Sagittarius, which is all about finding the higher meanings of life itself.
You can go through the other videos of mine, speaking of zodiac signs as well. Sagittarius. What's the energy of Sagittarius?
And in Aslesha, the themes of Aslesha will as well play out in this person's life.
So initiating can be happening in any one of these 27 nakshatras because each one of them has got the first step.
Each one of them has the second step, third and the fourth as well.
So understand finally to conclude that your soul is here playing out in any one of these kinds of energies.
You are always following whatever your soul is asking you to do.
There is nothing else that you need to go big around or find one of these 20,000 gurus that are floating around.
Or these fellows who tell you should be doing this, you should be doing that.
It's none of that stuff. That's all nonsense.
You're already following your own soul path. It cannot be any other way.
It is by defined by your soul why you are here, not by some other fellow or some other guru or some other charismatic person
who comes in, has a popularity contest all over YouTube and have published number of New York Times best sellers.
It doesn't work like that. Don't get carried away by all that kind of nonsense.
Dharma, Artha, Kama and Moksha are simply the four energies of fire, earth, air and water.
Which means your passions, what you want to achieve, your means to accomplish something if you have materialistic kind of approach.
What you want to fulfill as your desires of the mind and what you want to experience as the final quotient as an emotion.
This is what Dharma, Artha, Kama and Moksha mean.
And we will see that by case studies as we go on further in this analysis and in this exploration journey.
