Vedic astrology 101 p2

PS 1: hi i will continue my thread but this time i will make it longer! and realized that not only people that were familiar with tropical will be the ones that are searching for vedic so i will teach like i am talking to someone who is just starting to practice astrology.... i am apologizing to not thinking about this earlier.

the basics

1.1 Each sign with their planet ruler primarily signification: PS: I WILL ONLY MENTION THE GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS OF EACH I'M NOT LIMITING THE HOUSES AND SIGNS TO ONLY WHAT I AM WRITING HERE.

Mars

Mars, the red planet, is known for its dry and fiery nature. It is associated with masculinity and owns two signs, Aries and Scorpio.

aries is the natural significator of 1st house alongside mars and scorpio is the natural significator of the 8th.

the first house mainly represents yourself your, face your, physical appearance, your health, your ego, your brain, and can also indicate skin problems like acne and scars.

the eighth house represents death, longevity, debts, overall life problems such as depression and sudden events, and mental illness.

on the positive side, it can bring the native good intuitive skills.

he becomes exalted at 28 degrees in Capricorn and debilitated at 28 degrees in Cancer. he reaches moolatrikona (Great results) at the sign of Aries.

mars prominent nativity represents an appearance of high stature and a blood-red complexion.

this planet is closely linked to desires, ambition, and the senses. While it is considered a malefic planet, it also grants quick mental activity, extraordinary muscular strength, strong determination, and leadership qualities. "With Mars on your side, you have the opportunity to excel in any area of life you desire."

this planet rules the Tuesday.

Sun

In Vedic astrology, the Sun holds the position of a king, as it is at the center of everything. It represents the masculine influences in our lives, such as our fathers, husbands, and sons. The Sun symbolizes authority and our relationship with the government. While it represents our innermost self, we often only show our outer self or ego. It gives us the ability to lead, a desire for fame, ambition, optimism, and a strong will to overcome challenges.

sun rules the 5th and it represents creativity, fun, happiness, enjoyment, and love. It symbolizes your intellectual abilities alongside your ego and your potential to think outside the box.

the 5th also represents our silly romances and the way we flirt and also represents our children.

the sun is exalted in Aries 10 Degrees ,debilitated in Libra 10 Degree, and reaches MoolaTrikona at Leo at 20 Degrees.

this planet rules the Sunday.

Mercury

In Vedic Astrology, Mercury doesn't have a specific gender; it takes on the characteristics of the zodiac sign it is placed in. Mercury holds the power of language and discrimination, so its negative influence can deeply affect a person. It also governs youth, playfulness, leisure, sports, and social connections.

Similar to the Moon, Mercury represents the mind in astrology, but it focuses more on the analytical aspect while the Moon deals with the subconscious.

mercury rules gemini and the 3rd house alongside virgo and the 6th

gemini and the 3rd house both represent our intellectual mind and our communication style alongside our elder siblings, our neighbors , small studies (school) and short travels

virgo and the 6th house both represent our daily routine and our enemies (open enemies) and our work routine alongside general diseases like the flu.

mercury exalts himself on his own sign virgo and gets debilitated at Pisces and reaches moolatriokona at virgo.

this planet rules the wednesday.

mercury is an eunuch meaning he (the planet) has no gender and he is young.

Jupiter

In astrology, Jupiter is often referred to as the "Guru" because it guides us from ignorance to wisdom. It represents various aspects such as knowledge, spirituality, religion, higher education, research, philosophy, and optimism. In Vedic Astrology,

Jupiter is also associated with children and is known as the "Putrakaraka". Its main characteristic is expansion, which means it amplifies the area of life it occupies in a horoscope.

For instance, if Jupiter is placed in the 11th house of income and gains, it tends to enhance wealth and prosperity. Jupiter is considered the significator of affluence, generosity, righteousness, inherent goodness, and wisdom.

Jupiter is also known as a benevolent planet that gives abundantly without any expectations. Its placement in a birth chart determines a person's spiritual beliefs, mindset, faith, religious inclination, and materialistic status.

jupiter rules Sagittarius with the 9th house and pisces with the 12 house

sag and the 9th house both represent higher studies like religious studies and college also represent our luck and the 9th house also represents the relationship with our father.

pisces and the 12th both represent the subconscious mind, which is the house of salvation and dissolution.

he gets exalted in Cancer, debilitated in Capricorn and reaches MoolaTrikona at Sagittarius.

this planet rules the Thursday.

PS2: i am not using 100% of my own words to describe all the planets because i do not feel confident yet so this is all a mix of other people's thoughts with my owns all mixed up to help you guys.. I hope i can become more confident soon.

PS3: from venus to the end of the post i will be including my own thoughts mainly.

Venus

in vedic astrology, venus represents our 2nd house, the house that represents our face characteristics,our self-esteem and how we overall deal with money.

the 2nd house is represented by the sign of taurus the bull.

venus also rules the 7th house, the Libra house, which represents how we deal with relationships ... it can be with our husband, boyfriend, girlfriend, or wife, and also how we deal with partnerships like business ones.

[But Vedic astrology puts a lot of enfaces on the 7th house because on the chart overall the houses are divided into different categories that i will explore later on but eventually once you start to read the books and study you will see the 7th being often *only* described as the husband house

to explain this i will have to introduce a concept call "Kendra houses" the angular houses: 1,4,7,10 meaning the most important houses of a horoscope

1; yourself , 4; your home and emotions, 7; your partner or partneships overall and 10; your carrer. ]

now back to libra sign, here is where we find justice or try to make justice try to be fair. overall this is how i would describe libra sign.

venus gets exalted at pisces sign and debilitated at virgo and venus moolatrikona is at 0-15 degrees of libra.

the western deity of venus is aphrodite ( there are many deities but i just quoted one) and to vedic there is maha lakshmi :).

this planet rules the Friday.

SATURN

saturn is the karma planet, I would also describe this planet as the main difficulty of every person's life. because with Saturn there's a job that we cannot run from there's a responsibility that we must fulfill or at least work with to make our life better

saturn rules the 10 and 11 houses of the horoscope, the 10th house is the house of the Capricorn sign usually described as the goat and the crocodile

[ the 10th house is part of the kendras and represents our career, but its not the only way to find out about ones career goal or orientation]

the 10th is also our reputation, our karma, and what part of our lives is exposed to the world (we choose to make such parts public)

saturn signs are opposite the luminaries houses ( capri is opposite to cancer (4th) and aquarius to leo (5th)

capricorn, just like the other earth signs are usually keeping their mind busy to not pay attention to their emotions (because the earth houses are opposite the water houses.)

now the 11th house is the house of gains, the gains we work hard to receive. the house is represented by the aquarius sign which is often described as the antisocial sign BUT the 11th house is the house of social groups as well as social media

[the 11th is part of another group called trikona houses but i will talk more about this later]

what happens to Aquarius is that they often choose to be with social justice groups or something that can actually have a social impact that can end up helping other people, mostly the most unfortunate people.

"leo or the sun or the 5th = i should have attention vs aquarius or saturn or the 11th = I think we should have attention, we should be famous together. "

not saying that an aquarius cannot be egoistical or whatever other names you desire to call but usually they feel this inside urge to be a part of a group. (and i'm not calling leos egoistical)

saturn just like jupiter is a teacher but hes methods are harsher.. because he teaches us that most things can only be obtained by hard work and discipline

saturn represents the order but it also represents the thieves because one cannot exist without the other.

the 11th is the results of the expression or creative talent one have at the 5th, is where you find the result of such talents or hobbies.

saturn is exalted at libra and debilitated at aries and moolatrikona at 20 degress of aquarius

this planet rules saturday

and is also a eunuch, usually described as a old person who doesn't have libido.

MOON

the moon rules the 4th and the sign of cancer and is the most important planet of Vedic astrology because it can describe the nature of one's mind.

the fourth house represents our emotions, our home , our most private stuff ( like thoughts, dreams or anything one likes to keep private from everyone), and our mother or relationship with our mother and motherly figures.

how was my life when i was a kid? did i have comfort? did a had enough? was i happy? such questions are usually answered by the 4th Lord and/ or the moon.

how is my mental health? How do I usually deal with my emotions? i am happy or sad? how do i express my emotions? do i run from my emotions?

such questions, to me, are related to our fourth house and the moon.

i have to be honest i feel like the moon is so complex yet i have no words to simply describe it because I feel like the moon is everything

and also is related to our roots, like my birth country and if i overall find joy around my cultural place or dislike it

[ the moon is also magic, but i will expand this when i talk about the nakshatras]

the moon gets exalted at taurus and debilitated at scorpio and her moolatrikona is at taurus

this planet rules the monday.

PS4. so theres an exact degree for each planet dignity but i could not find them so i did not put them here because each place says a different thing.

1.2 the south and the north nodes of the moon

introduction:

rahu and ketu are the nodes that eclipse the moon

rahu is the artificial sun and ketu is the artificial moon

Mythology According to Indian Mythology, Lord Visnu had decided to make the Deities (the seven planets) immortal. Visnu had churned up the sea in order to extract a sacred nectar called amrita, with the intention of making the planetary Gods immortal. Visnu had all of the planetary deities lined up in order to receive the nectar potion. However, a demon called Rakshasha, who was dragon-like in appearance had sneaked in and disguised itself as a deity, in order to become immortal. Once Visnu had realised that he had been fooled into giving the nectar to the demon he took out his sword and chopped the demon in half. The head of the dragon became Rahu and the tail became Ketu, but now they could not be killed, as they had received the nectar. When the nodes, Rahu and Ketu saw how angry they had made Visnu, they did penance to him and were eventually given planetary status. So Rahu and Ketu are a very powerful force that operates in our lives to control the karmic influences and situations through the Rahu Ketu axis. The symbol of Rahu represents the dragon’s head and Ketu represents its tail Following this event, Rahu and Ketu gained the status of planets, and could influence the lives of humans on Earth. Rahu and Ketu became bitter enemies with Surya (Sun) and Chandra (Moon) for exposing his deception and leading to his decapitation. For this, Rahu pursues them and attempts to consume the Sun and Moon. Since Rahu is the head without the body, the Sun and Moon exit from his throat when he tries to swallow them This recurring cycle creates the grahana, an eclipse of the Sun and the Moon, which represents the temporary revenge of Rahu..

so to simplify one asura ( sura meaning god and asura meaning demigod) drinks a forbidden potion that grants immortality and the sun and moon notice this and went to tell Vishnu proceed to cut this asura head and separate the head from the body

creating the rahu ( the head without body) and the ketu (the headless body)

in astrology rahu represents our future and ketu our past lives and the gifts we got from it.

rahu also represents illusions and false imagery and ketu represents overall detachment.

rahu and ketu are ALWAYS opposite to one another on the horoscope

example: rahu aquarius and ketu leo.

RAHU ( THE NORTH NODE)

rahu represents the head without the body, meaning it represents mind obsessions and material desires, as rahu is very materialistic.

rahu is the illusion, the maya ( illusion) one must break in order to advance

often we get confused, tricked and lost on whenever house rahu is situated at because hes often casts illusionary tricks on us (thru this area)

rahu is also responsible to fame and he can grant you fame

rahu is the north node meaning is our destiny or our overall purpose in live is to achieve such place (the house where the rahu is place)

rahu behaves like saturn , meaning he deals with drugs, poisons, over-ambition, power play, hidden knowledge BUT don't be confused because unlike saturn rahu is not a teacher but a trickster.

and rahu also co rules aquarius and the 11th. (because aquarius traditionally represents the 11th)

"Rahu's element is air. It deals with all aspects of air related activities air travel, Air accidents, Aviation, Pilots etc. Other significations of Rahu include students of Astrology, metaphysical knowledge, witchcraft, skin diseases, small pox, deception, politics, political manoeuvre, inventions, scientists, execution, diseases, disenchantment etc." - komilla sutton.

rahu also represents anything that is foreign.

by having a trickster nature rahu is said to have "joy" or find happiness at the 6th house, house of virgo yet this "shadow planet" or node have no dignity

many will say rahu is exalted at taurus and debilitated a scorpio , others will say he get exalted a virgo and debilitated at pisces but he does not have dignities. but this also depends like by which teacher you are studying because it can change a lot between this two

so rahu is good at 2nd house / taurus and bad at 8th/ scorpio

rahu rules 3 nakshatras: ardra (gemini), swati ( libra) and shatabhishak ( aquarius)

rahu is the agent of "maya" meaning hes purpose is to lead you away from the spiritual path or the ketu path.

i will expand more on other posts.

rahu day is saturday.

KETU ( THE SOUTH NODE)

ketu is a headless body therefore represents detachment since ketu doesn't have a head to think about things he only is able to feel emotions

ketu is similar to mars and co-rules scorpio/ the 8th

"Some of the signification of Ketu are Ascetics, assassinations, trouble through cats, clairvoyance, contemplation, desire for knowledge, deep thinking, imprisonment, poison, intrigues, magical powers, poverty, mysticism etc." - komilla sutton.

ketu is fire, the fire that purifies and his goal is to take us to the spiritual path yet his nakshatras ( constellations ) are often showing destructive behavior in other to reach such path.

ketu is represents the beginning, ketu rules the first constellation (ashwini, aries) that is said to mark the beginning of life

and by looking at ketu we can see which kind of talents one got from his past lifes (usually you see those child singers at an early age as an example)

one will only reach rahu thru ketu = meaning one will only reach one destiny if they works on their ketu

if Ketu is conjunct a planet is said that ketu blinds the planet, depending on the sing, house and planet the result can be either good or bad.

ketu is the opposite of rahu where as rahu likes material ketu doesnt like and so on..

ketu rules the nakshatras : ashwini ( aries) , magha ( leo ) and mula (Sagittarius) .

my personal description of ketu is that it represents our trauma those traumas we cannot, for some reason, leave or cure them, often trauma is described as our "comfort place" .. now before you say anything our comfort place is not necessarily the place where we find joy, our comfort place is the place that we are stuck at, often times, due to trauma many keep stuck and cannot move one and therefore one cannot progress and this is where i like to say that Ketu mainly can represent if is working negatively

im not saying that ketu causes trauma yet i like to use the trauma example to explain or at least try to explain how we behave on the are that ketu is at and to explain further i will use other ketu meanings

ketu also is detachment as ive mentioned but not explained yet.. we are detached from the are where ketu is at

example: 3rd house ketu is described by a person who usually types without paying attention, and speaks before thinking, if the person have brothers this person will not be found of them or have a good relationship... overall everything that is represented by the third house the individual will not feel like he should give attention to such matters like "ive already memorized the keyboard so i am not even paying attention" and thats why the individual cannot reach a better place like this person usually can be found of writing but they never actually make any effort to study about what i need to be studied to become a writer and therefore they never get better and this how it becomes a "comfort place" because they dont care enough to make such changes and until they do not make changes they will not arrive to their destination = rahu

and its not easy like you're basically telling a person to care about something they simply dont but that is where you will find the root of the problems.. just because you memorized the keyboard doesn't mean you will not make any mistakes and overall if you become better you can help many people as well

another personal characteristic is that ketu also brings obsessions but they are emotional ones, meaning those where your emotional state take control and you end up destroying everything.

PS5. overall i don't believe that i will make you understand the nodes because its not an easy subject but i hope i was able to help you at least understand a point or the basics

end of part 2 and yes it was longer and i took a long time to finish this i just hope i am able to help introduce people to vedic astrology

i will open my dms for questions and my readings are open as well.

part 1.
