[Jagannath] Sattwik, etc. planets and signs

[Guest guest]

Jaya Jagannatha.

Good analysis Gauranga,

Yes, Saturn causes jealousy and so it does tempt me into tantra, but this is

best avoided as Mahaprabhu is there to take care of the evil... " BHAJE

[Jagannath] Sattwik, etc. planets and signs

 

 

> JAYA JAGANNATHA!

>

> Dear Sarajit,

>

> Namaste.

>

> Sarajit: Can you please tell me what are the Sattwik, Rajasik and the

> Tamasik

> signs an why are they so called.

>

> Let us begin with the planets' Gunas. The Sun and Moon and Jupiter are

> Sattwika planets. Sattwa guna is favourable for spiritual realization. The

> Sun is the soul of the horoscope, and the light in the universe,

represented

> by Surya.Narayana. The Moon is the Mind, lorded by Krishna. See the

> Moon's natural relationships. No one is her enemy. This is s Sattwika

trait.

> The third is Jupiter, or Guru, represented by Brihaspati, the Deva Guru.

The

> Guru should also be Sattwika to be able to give knowledge and

> enlightenment, which are the qualities of the Sattwa Guna.

> Venus and Mercury are Rajasikas, as Venus gives sensual pleasures which

> are a trait of Rajo Guna, and Mercury is very active and changeable, which

> is also Rajasik.

> Mars and Saturn are Tamasik. Mars is violent and infilicting pain, which

is

> a trait of Tamas, and Saturn is dull, without knowledge, also a trait of

> Tamas. Rahu would be alos Tamasik and Ketu Sattwik I suppose. Maybe

> Gurudeva can correct me on this.

>

> Now the signs:

> Cancer and Leo are Sattwika, as they are lorded by Sattwika planets. The

> same holds good for Pisces and Sagittarius.

> Aries is Rajasik. Scorpio is not described, but it's a brahminical sign.

> Maybe also Rajasik still. You see, Mars is Tamasik but Aries is the

> positive sign, so it may get up to the next Guna, Rajas. But Scorpio is

the

> negative sign, so even if it's brahminical, it still remains Rajasik.

> Taurus is Rajasik and Libra is also, so as their lord, Venus.

> Gemini is not described by Parashara but Virgo is Tamasik. This is the

> negative sign of Mercury which is Rajasik. But Gemini may be Rajasik.

> Capricorn and Aquarius are both Tamasik, as their lord, Saturn is Tamasik

> also.

>

> Now have a look at Sanjay " s chart: Jupiter in Pisces in Lagna Bhava would

> give a very Sattwik disposition, so as the Sun in cancer in the 5th. These

> two features make his nature very Sattwic, especially the Hamsa yoga

> produced by Jupiter. Of course here are the other planets as well,

> especially retrograde Saturn in own house in the 11th which is the 6th

from

> 6th, so this may give bitter enemies, but the Sattwik features in His 1st

> (soul) and 5th (intellect) are very prominent. There is also Venus in the

5th

> which have given Him knowledge of the Tantra, but He never uses it as

> Lord Jagannath is always there to guide and protect Him.

>

> Please correct me Gurudeva if I'm wrong.
