1. To have a balance life and
2. To live a life of contentment
Let us start with the ruling planet that is the Sun. According to the astrology, the planet Sun demands from a kind of self-love, the egocentric love for the self. Besides this, the Sun is the royal planet amongst all the other planets and that is why it asks us to feel the same royalty. It wants us to feel like “the King of my own sphere. “ But what people often miss is the fact that the Sun also represents the Soul. Soul is that essential part of a human being that lives from one lifetime to another. Therefore, it is very necessary to be in touch with one’s Soul and as the Sun dominates the entire solar system, we should let our Soul dominate or lives.
The next on the list is the Moon. Now, Moon represents a number of things at a time – the emotions, the mind and the entire feelings. It is very important for a human being to be in touch with the innermost feelings the level of finest feeling. What is that teaches us everything about the “Relative” life? Some people take it as the Absolute Self but instead of it, it is the first manifestation of the individual selves that is the ground rock of any individual’s essence. This helps us decide what is wrong and what is right. There is a Divine Voice within which we need to listen carefully. Here, by the innermost feelings I do not mean the crude emotions such as gluttony, arrogance, greed, lust or anger. These are nothing but mental junk and as soon as a person indulges in them, he/she is sure to be ruined. So, better do not allow these crude emotions to empower your decisions.
Mars is the planet that forces us to indulge in action. When you read the Bhagavad-Gita, you find Lord Krishna talking about the need of action. One has to be brave, strong and always a warrior. This does not at all refer to the physical strength or physical fight. The courage here refers to the courage of one’s convictions. One needs to act upon the thoughts. Do not just be a thinker, be a doer as well. You have to be useful for others so be active. Have this affirmation that God is with you. Trust yourself and your God and do what needs to be done. Inaction is worse than a wrong action.
Mercury, on the other hand, wants us to have fun and play. It asks from the individual to dance to his/her own tune. You should follow your heart, whatever gives you the greatest joy indulge in that. Moreover, Mercury is a talkative planet. It loves to schmooze, calculate, improvise, and make deals and talk. So, play!
The grandest of all the planets is Jupiter and it represents wisdom – religion, Law, philosophy, higher education, raising children and the Guru. Without the wisdom of the Jupiter, the fun, money and sex will turn us into mere animals. We are divine beings and we need to pray study and meditate as well and this is what Jupiter asks us to do. In addition, it is considered the most benevolent planet. When you surrender to its energy, you are sure to be benefited from it. You will get an inner balance and all the other skills required for a happy life. So, do not ignore Jupiter at all.
Next is Venus, which stands for all the greatest sensual enjoyments of life such as art, beauty, refinement, music, sex, and all other worldly sumptuousness. And this what makes her one of the most loved by all. Venus has a rule over things like fancy furniture and clothes and cars and also diamonds. But one should not just consider the lower aspects of Venus because then one might get sick of the venereal disease. According to me, Venus does stand for beauty, creativity and refinement as well. It demands 3 hours of pure creativity per week.
Saturn is considered to be a planet of work but I think it represents steadiness and discipline at its deepest level. If a person is disciplined in 3 areas he/she will be blessed by Saturn . It is 4 then Saturn will shower huge blessings on that person. The area in which one’s heart is one blessing will tend to manifest in that very area. Everybody resents Saturn because of his outer face but when one knows about the inner side, one gets to know he is a good guy! Saturn is the main planet of Karma. So, it is not just about work at all.
The next is Rahu, which demands from us an embracement of the foreign. This planet represents obsession as such. It asks us to accept the fact that we all are obsessed of some thing or the other and go for the useful things. We should be obsessed of success, career, or even accumulating knowledge. The obsession can be beneficial if obsessed for healthy things.
Ketu is somehow similar to Rahu. It wants our Soul! It demands from us to know our Soul and let it be the ruler of our lives. In this age, this planet that the human being has least come to terms with. We should indulge in prayers, meditation or charity- something that can benefit the inner self – the Soul. Although, it will not enrich our bank balance but it will enrich our inner selves and that is the most important part of an individual. Therefore, we should take into consideration the importance of our Soul.
The psychic astrologers believe that on an average you need to give at least 3 hours per week to the qualities typified by each of the planets.
