Guest guest Posted January 31, 2002 Report Share Posted January 31, 2002 Dear Nicholas you <<I always thought that the signs represented the planets expressed through an element and this was the key to understanding their ownership>> me You are right but in Vedic astrology there are different keys to understand the concept as a whole. In our present society, we mainly have two dimensional thinking. One is linear and the other is the opposite to it. In the book "The Cosmology of the Bhagavata Purana" , Richard L. Thompson shows that the cosmology of the Bhagavata Purana is a sophisticated system, with many levels of meaning that encode at least four different keys. Very appropiate when the Vedas say that we are living in a multi-dimensional creation. you <<Thus Aries is Mars energy expressed through fire whilst Scorpio is Mars energy expressed through water.>> me I like to see the vedas as an organic system where everything works as an unity. Therefore, we have a diversity in an unity. Acccording to the elements perhaps that is the way to see the signs but according to vedic music, the 7 musical notes are connected to the planets which in time are connected to the 12 signs. Thus, Do=Sun and Leo. Re=Mercury; tivra (positive) is Gemini and komala (negative) is Virgo. Mi= Saturn; tivra (high) is Capricorn and komala (flat or soft) is Aquarius. Fa= Venus; tivra is Taurus and komala is Libra. Sol= Moon and Cancer. La= Mars; tivra is Aries and komala is Scorpio. Ti= Jupiter; tivra is Sagittarius and komala is Pisces. you <<Your study may give and additional or alternative perspective as to the ownership of the signs but doesn't counring the vargas for each rasi presuppose ownership of the rasis.>> me That is the idea, signs and rasis are the same. From 2,400 segments of sodasavargas in every sign, the planets that rule more segments are the owners of their signs.
