Venus in Pisces

[Guest guest]

Dear Cynthia

This is a very good point . Virgo tends to be the most judgemental (often

natives of this sign are too critical) and so Pisces has the greatest capacity

for acceptance or being non judgemental . So Venus as general karaka for

relationships works well in an environment of acceptance rather than judgement

,criticism and demands for change .This ties in with compassion becuase one

does not ascribe others responsibilty for their difficulties and therefore is

more willing to help out .

Re: [GJ] Libra & Venus

I would assume it stems from observation. These natives seem to be very

compassionate and nonjudgmental.

Re: [GJ] Libra & Venus

Dear List Members

This raises the interesting question of why Venus is exalted in Pisces in the

first place .With the 8 exaltations it is fairly clear why the planet finds

it's exaltation where it does it's energies are compatible with the sign In

Mars case although in an enemy's sign it is argued that being a soldier he wins

glory in battle . Jupiter is another funny one in that he is exalted 8 places

from his MT .However it is relatively easy to see that Guru finds strength in

Cancer's nurturing energies and the Moon and Jupiter are friends with Jupiter

ruling another of the water signs ( although the Moon produced Budha from

illegitimate contact with Jupiter's wife ).

 

So Venus'exaltation in an enemy's sign is a quandary Why is the planet of sense

gratification exalted in the natural sign for moksha ?

Is it that the soul gives up sense gratification and pursues the path of self

realisation and in this way finds peace .This is the common explanation but is

it correct and sufficient .Another explanation is that the artistic expression

of Venus gets full scope in the sign of unboundedness Any one else got some

ideas ?.

 

Getting back to GH I certainly do not think it is incompatible for him to have

first Lord in the 6th . He had dsiputes with the government (Taxman was about

the 95% tax rate imposed by Harold Wilson and there was the drug bust) ,the

Beatles fell into acrimonious disagreement which I think was one of GHs major

sources of unhappiness (wasn't there a song called sue you sue me blues ) and

even with the Krishna Consciousness movement he became discouraged by his name

constantly being used to give dredibility to an organisation that was plagued

by scandals.He really was only ever friends with a few mmbers .In his case the

full expression of Venus found in Pisces did turn him towards the search for

moksha .

Hi Nicholas,

 

>From my notes I see Venus is not in an enemy's sign in Pisces. Jupiter being a

neutral to Venus. (But Venus is an enemy to Jupiter.) Also, Venus is

Guru/teacher to the Asuras. In Pisces, natural sign for moksha, this makes

sense as Venus' highest attribute as Guru.

Dear Patrice

You are correct

There is a story in the Bhagavata Purana where Sukracarya advised his disciple

Bali Maharaja not to offer charity to Lord Vamana who was an incarnation of

Visnu . Bali had conquered the universe and Vamana was a dwarf who asked for 3

of his "small" steps of land .Sukracarya advised his discilpe that Vamana would

take everything and they, the Guru and disciple would be left with nothing

...Bali Maharaja disobeyed his Guru and Vamana being Visnu covered the entire

universe with his 3 steps Vamana then arrested Bali.

 

When this happened Sukracarya realised the error of his ways and he was reminded

that sevice to Visnu is the highest type of consideration .

So a similar thing may happen in Pisces Sukra may give up his ways of sense

gratification and turn to moksha .As a brahmana he is aware of higher

principles but he gets distracted by the illusory presentations .With respect

to GH this was certainly the case .

Best Wishes

Nicholas
