[Guest guest]

Are you using your planets or the planets are using you?

Part 1

 

 

By Bhadra Dasi.

 

 

The planets themselves are not auspicious or inauspicious ,but they

are indicators of our past activities, we have the potentiality to be

CAUSE over the planets we have in our natal chart, or we can be

effect of them. If we elevate ourselves up toward sattva-guna (the

mode of goodness) we are cause more and more, but if instead we go

down to tamo-guna (the mode of ignorance) then in that measure we are

effect (passive) of our planets. Here we have a gradient scale

composed by levels with their own characteristics which are

manifested in a progressive manner (from A, to I, ). These qualities

are indicating some general symptoms of how is the influence of the

corresponding planet or, at which level we are using the planets that

are related to specific realms in our life.

 

In different periods of our life or, even in our day time, we are

acting on a specific level which can be easily ascertained by many

symptoms.

 

This is the range in which this gradient scale is related with the

Gunas (modes of material nature):

 

A is Sattva-guna (mode of goodness)

 

B is Sattva mixed with a little Rajo-guna

 

C and D are Rajasic (the mode of passion) mainly

 

E and F are Rajo mixed with Tamo-guna

 

G,H and I are in Tamo-guna (the mode of ignorance)

 

 

Gradient scale of the Gunas related to the planets.

 

Gradients scale of Venus (Shukra).

 

This planet rules over love and affinity. We can define this word as

a consideration of distance, of how much we feel near or far from a

person. This obviously does not mean physical distance for we have

seen many times that people which is physically " near " are not so

near in reality.

 

A) On this level one is able to express love and to receive it freely

and

not maliciously.

B) Here the person is tolerant, he accepts (until some limit) the

advances

offered by others but does not readily make such advances

himself.

C) In this level the individual is negligent toward people in

general. He try

to avoid them.

D) At this level the persons feel anger or irritation caused by the

advances of other people toward him, displays of love are received

with suspicion.

E) Here are hate or violent acts.

F) At this level the person, no longer, dares demonstrate hate as

such. This is the level of covert hostility, this person may claim to

love others or to act for others good, but, consciously, his acts are

meant to injure, manipulate or damage the others, is like an actor,

all manner of subterfuges may be resorted to.

G) Here the person is in fear and he will attempt to buy off the

imagined danger by propitiation (the act of appeasing).

H) In this level the individual is in grief, his desperate efforts to

win support by tears, supplications, pleas for pity, strange

perversions of truth intended to achieve the pity and win support of

others.

I) On this level there is no real attempt to contact one's self and

no attempt to contact others, this level is on the threshold of death.

 

Gradient scale of Saturn (Shani).

 

This planet rules over reality.

 

A) Here is the person who accepts as a fact of love the reality and

confronts it as it is. He can search different viewpoints and thus he

can broaden his own reality. He has a complete flexibility and

understanding in relating and evaluating different realities.

B) This level is characterized by moderated flexibility about

realities brought to view, without eager search for new ones, or he

will try to reconcile his own reality with conflicting realities.

C) Here the person is aware of the possible validity of diverse

realities but he will not relate this to his own reality.

D) At this level the individual is indifferent to polemical

realities, and his attitude is: " maybe " or " who cares? "

E) Here the person attempts to undermine the reality of others, is

critical, he wants the destruction of opposing realities, by denial

or violence, verbal and even physical; refuses to accept conflicting

realities without trying to fight back.

F) On this level the person has insecurity, or attempts to gain

reassurance from others.

G) Here the person has strong doubt of one's reality and thus is not

able to act within it. He does not act without others telling him

what to do. Fear of acting on himself.

H) On this level there is denying the conflicting realities and total

refuses to acknowledge the existence of any reality but one's owns,

in which one is rigidly locked.
