1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,000 The word transformation literally means to change the form of something. 2 00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:15,000 And in this new energy and the spiritual transformation that is occurring with everyone, all of the humans on the planet right now, 3 00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:22,000 it's important to understand some vital principles from the Vedic Astrology perspective. 4 00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:29,000 And one of them is the Gandhanta or the Naut's End. 5 00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:37,000 Gandhata in Sanskrit literally means the Naut that ties to the bonds of karma. 6 00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:41,000 And antha means the end, end of that. 7 00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:46,000 So, Gandhanta means the Naut's End or the point of karmic transformation. 8 00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:52,000 Now this can happen either in a birth chart or in transit planets also. 9 00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:56,000 Now what does this principle mean in Vedic Astrology? 10 00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:02,000 Well, first of all, it occurs between the fire and the water zodiac signs in a chart. 11 00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:15,000 That means going from Pisces to Aries or going from Cancer to Leo or going from Scorpio into Sagittarius. 12 00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:20,000 So, these are the ones which are marked in the pie chart over there in the yellow highlighted areas. 13 00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:21,000 Right? 14 00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:27,000 So, we take this and we analyze this and because it is very significant, 15 00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:34,000 we shall spend a little time even going up to the nakshatra level of this. 16 00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:36,000 So, what is basically the Gandhanta? 17 00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:40,000 It's basically going from water to fire. 18 00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:44,000 Means going from Cancer to Leo first as an example. 19 00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:50,000 Cancer is a water sign and it goes into the fire sign of Leo. 20 00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:53,000 So, it's an elemental level transformation. 21 00:01:53,000 --> 00:02:01,000 When fire meets water or rather when water pours itself into the fire, it transforms it. 22 00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:03,000 It extinguishes the fire. 23 00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:08,000 One thing, if you put water into fire, it puts out the fire. 24 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:13,000 Also, at the same time water itself ends up being transformed into steam. 25 00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:19,000 So, if we analyze this basic principle, it will tell us all we need to know about the Gandhanta. 26 00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:27,000 Both fire and water are mutually transformed when they come in contact with one another. 27 00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:29,000 That's what this principle means. 28 00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:36,000 Now, if any planets or points or nodes are deposited in your birth chart in these points, 29 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:43,000 in this specific area of your chart, those planets and those kind of energies will end up being transformed. 30 00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:50,000 You are here to transform that particular area of life depending upon which house they fall in. 31 00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:56,000 And depending upon what planet it is, that kind of energy needs to be transformed in this life. 32 00:02:56,000 --> 00:03:05,000 In the transit, you might have to check what is transiting your birth chart and which area these Gandhanta points are falling in. 33 00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:14,000 Now, the last two padas of nakshatras that fall on either side of these Gandhanta points are as follows. 34 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:22,000 The last two padas of Revati nakshatra, going into the first two padas of Ashwini nakshatra. 35 00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:30,000 The last two padas of Ashlesha nakshatra, going into the first two padas of Magha nakshatra. 36 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:36,000 The last two padas of Jayastha nakshatra, going into the first two padas of Moola nakshatra. 37 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:42,000 So, this is the nakshatra level of analysis which we shall be doing towards the end. 38 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:49,000 The Gandhanta points can be seen as an intersection of emotional and transformative energies 39 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:59,000 where the individual's karmic knots or challenges are amplified and bought with the forefront for the person to examine. 40 00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:08,000 These knots can manifest in different ways such as relationship issues, health problems, career setbacks, business setbacks. 41 00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:15,000 And they often require a deep level of self-reflection. That's the keyword there, self-reflection. 42 00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:21,000 Nothing is going to be done automatically in these Gandhanta points. You have to reflect upon it. 43 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:25,000 The self-reflection is almost forced upon the individual. 44 00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:33,000 You are forced to sit back, look at your life, look at your tendency, look at where you want to do a certain kind of thing 45 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:40,000 but the external world is in opposition to that so you need to really examine, right? That's the transformation. 46 00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:46,000 It can lead to healing and spiritual growth to be resolved. 47 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:50,000 Now let's see the planets one by one briefly. 48 00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:56,000 If Sun is deposited in these angles of Gandhanta points, 49 00:04:56,000 --> 00:05:04,000 the presence of Sun in Gandhanta point can bring about significant shift in one's sense of self and identity. 50 00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:12,000 Remember, Sun is the sole significator. Your soul as represented in the chart is basically the Sun. 51 00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:20,000 So it's a shift in the self itself. It can indicate a need for deeper understanding of one's own purpose and direction in life. 52 00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:24,000 Very vital to understand, right? 53 00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:33,000 If the moon is in this point, it can signify deeply emotional crisis or a need for healing and inner growth. 54 00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:36,000 Having emotion in the right direction, basically. 55 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:46,000 Your emotional content and body might be in conflict with the external world around you in terms of relationships, in terms of anything. 56 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:54,000 It can also indicate a spiritual awakening or a desire to explore the hidden aspects of self. 57 00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:59,000 Why? Because moon represents Manas or the subconscious that we have. 58 00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:08,000 The hidden unconscious subconscious, whatever you choose to call it, is what is represented as the moon in Vedic astrology. 59 00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:18,000 If Mars is deposited in this point or in these points, it can signify the need for action and transformation in one's life. 60 00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:24,000 Mars is like the soldier. It wants action. It wants to get stuff done. 61 00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:31,000 So Mars in this point can indicate your change of direction, how you perceive what needs to be acted upon. 62 00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:39,000 It can indicate a time of courage and determination because like I said, Mars is a soldier. It wants to get stuff done. 63 00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:42,000 It's an action-oriented planet. 64 00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:49,000 So it can indicate a time of courage and determination but also the possibility of conflict or aggression. 65 00:06:49,000 --> 00:07:00,000 When Mars gets angry, it basically gets angry when it perceives a threat or perceives an opposition to what it wants to achieve. 66 00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:11,000 If Mercury is present in these points, it can indicate a time of intellectual growth and communication but also potential for confusion or miscommunication. 67 00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:19,000 It can go either ways. We live in a polarized duality so it can go into the positive aspect or negative aspects depending upon what? 68 00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:24,000 Depending upon your level of self-reflection, folks. 69 00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:34,000 If Jupiter is in the Gandhata point, it can signify a significant shift in one's belief system or a new spiritual journey. 70 00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:43,000 It can also indicate a time of growth and abundance but also potential for over-intelligence or excessive. 71 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:51,000 Jupiter not only stands for wisdom and growth but it also stands for abundance of whatever it sits in. 72 00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:57,000 Jupiter basically amplifies any energy it sits in. 73 00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:05,000 Venus, if Venus is in the Gandhata point, it can indicate a time of deep emotional creative exploration. 74 00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:08,000 Venus is the seed of creation. 75 00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:14,000 It is also a symbol of birth and death and transformation through that. 76 00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:20,000 It can also signify a need for balance and harmony in one's relationship and surroundings. 77 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:32,000 If Saturn is present in the Gandhata point, it can indicate a time of significant challenges and obstacles but also the potential for deep spiritual growth and transformation. 78 00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:44,000 If Rahu and Ketu, the nodes of the moon are present in the Gandhata point, it can indicate a time of intense spiritual and karmic transformation 79 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:53,000 where one may experience challenges, obstacles or sudden changes in areas of life associated with the house they are located in. 80 00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:57,000 However, it can also signify a time of profound spiritual growth. 81 00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:59,000 So you see a pattern here. 82 00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:03,000 Every planet point has got the plus side and the minus side. 83 00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:10,000 You can do this in a nice gentle way or you can be forced into a particular type of transformation. 84 00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:17,000 Normally what we humans do is sit and cradle our thumbs and wait for something to happen from the external world. 85 00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:25,000 That would be an unwise thing to do because the more you postpone such kind of things, the more it will come to you in a more harsher way. 86 00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:29,000 It tends to accumulate the energies and come to you all at once. 87 00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:39,000 Imagine if I ask you for a glass of water and you keep putting it off and suddenly I'm so thirsty that I need to drink a whole jug of water and then it will not be good for the body, right? 88 00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:42,000 This is something similar. 89 00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:51,000 Now remember we spoke about the planets moving in one direction as I have indicated there and the nodes and the moon moving in the opposite direction. 90 00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:56,000 So this also becomes a significant point to consider when you are using transits, okay? 91 00:09:56,000 --> 00:10:04,000 Where the moon meets the Gandanta point and where the nodes of the moon Rahu and Ketu meet the Gandanta point. 92 00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:12,000 Whereas planets all are going as together in one particular direction, which are opposite to the nodes and the moon. 93 00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:22,000 Now let's consider the nakshatras and the padas involved in this Gandanta point evaluation. 94 00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:27,000 As you can see I have marked there Ashwini and Revati nakshatras. 95 00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:41,000 So the last two padas of Revati, so the Gandanta point for Revati becomes between 23 degrees, 20 minutes of Pisces going into 30 degrees of Pisces. 96 00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:53,000 And also the next one, Ashwini nakshatra, which falls between 0 degrees of Aries to 6 degrees, 40 minutes of Aries. 97 00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:56,000 So this is marked in the boxes as you can see. 98 00:10:56,000 --> 00:11:02,000 These are the Gandanta points for Ashwini to Revati relationship. 99 00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:05,000 So Pisces going into Aries. 100 00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:13,000 The next one between Cancer and Leo falls between Maganakshatra and Ashlesha nakshatra. 101 00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:24,000 So the last two padas of Ashlesha, which is basically 23 degrees, 20 minutes of Cancer and 30 degrees of Cancer, 102 00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:28,000 which is the closing up of Cancer marked in the box there. 103 00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:34,000 And it goes into the sign of Leo, the first nakshatra being Maganakshatra. 104 00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:40,000 So the 0 degrees of Leo to 6 degrees, 40 minutes of Leo. 105 00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:42,000 These padas will be crucial. 106 00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:49,000 So watch in your birth chart where which planets are falling in all these boxes which I have highlighted there. 107 00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:57,000 The last Gandanta point we shall deal with is Jaishtha nakshatra which falls in Scorpio, 108 00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:02,000 going into Moola nakshatra which falls in Sagittarius. 109 00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:12,000 So in Jaishtha nakshatra it will fall between 23 degrees, 20 minutes of Scorpio to 30 degrees of Scorpio. 110 00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:21,000 So we close the Scorpio cycle there and it also at the same time begins the fire cycle in Sagittarius in Moola nakshatra 111 00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:32,000 which is at 30 degrees of Sagittarius or 0 degrees of Sagittarius going into 6 degrees, 40 minutes of Sagittarius. 112 00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:42,000 So understand to conclude this Gandanta point, this is a much ignored aspect of Astrology even in Vedic Astrology. 113 00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:45,000 They don't take this much into consideration because guess what? 114 00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:54,000 Most of the humans are interested in well which BMW can I get or I want my spouse to be good looking or I want their particular house. 115 00:12:54,000 --> 00:13:04,000 So we spend our time in the superficialities of life ignoring these fundamental aspects and when they hit us we sit and complain. 116 00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:08,000 We said, oh my life is falling apart or this is happening or that is happening. 117 00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:14,000 Understand folks, don't ignore such knowledge if you are coming across this. 118 00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:24,000 Go for it, study it, get to know more about it, appreciate it because this has got very deep implications for you in your life. 119 00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:34,000 Next we shall be talking about other deeper aspects of transformation because in this new energies that's what will drive the engine forward. 120 00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:44,000 All the children of new consciousness are participating in this actively. Take care, be safe.
