Kundalini Shakti Astrology

 

Kundalini

"Kundalini" the Shakti, is cosmic energy as manifesting itself in the universe, divides itself into two polar aspects—static and dynamic. According to this cosmic principle, a static is at rest or 'coiled', as the Kundalini Shakti is the primordial Shakti at rest or sleeping at the Muladhara (Root Chakra). The dynamic energy of the Kundalini is all over the body as Prana, Apana, Samana, Vyana, and Udana. These five Vital breaths, or life forces, keep the body together.

No life is possible without kundalini energy because kundalini is nothing else but the cosmic life force coming from the cosmos that keeps all beings alive.

Kundalini energy can be activated by various means like yoga, breathing techniques (pranayama), certain herbal preparations (bhang), creating particular vibrations in the body through the chanting of mantras, and through initiation (energy transmission) by a yoga adept whose Kundalini is already awakened (guru). Of these, initiation by some guru is the fastest and easiest way of awakening Kundalini. This is known as shaktipeeth but it is a very dangerous way to awaken Kundalini Shakti. Because Kundalini should not be raised without clearing the subtler system. And if it is awakened by shaktipeeth it can cause havoc in one who is not prepared or conditioned to receive and maintain this powerful force. Kundalini cannot be manipulated without incurring some risks.

Kundalini awakening is a gradual process. It required high maintenance and is not recommended for the frivolous or curious. Purity of mind ( truthful, righteous, simple life, non materialistic,  pure emotions, caring for others, selfless love for people, no jealousy, no anger, forgiveness, ego-less mind, nonjudgmental and serving attitude etc. ) is necessary to awaken Kundalini naturally and that is not easy for the common people to overcome their negative attitude. Hence if possible commit yourself to spiritual practices and meditate (introspection) daily to awaken your Kundalini Shakti within you by your effort not by some guru. However if the Kundalini awakens it is just the start. Then the real work begins after awakening of the Kundalini. Once awakened, Kundalini brings about extraordinary transformation in the body-mind system of the individual, including a huge surge in energy levels, the healing of chronic diseases and enhanced mental abilities. 

In astrology Kundalini Shakti is denoted by Lunar Nodes ( North and South Nodes).  Rahu (North Node) is the materialistic Node which compels an individual to come in this physical plane again and again until it's all wish gets fulfilled. When all the desire gets fulfilled of an individual then the person is no more interested in any materialistic pursuit and they prepare to go from this physical plane. Ketu represents a non materialistic and unseen world.  When the person is totally saturated with a materialistic world then the person understands the illusion (maya, Rahu) of the world, then the Ketu (South Node) works start. Ketu guides the person towards the path of liberation and which can be achieved only by living with detachment but fully engaged in the world with love. Where people understand we all are one and not separate with each other. Those people who can understand and live life like this, then they are considered as an enlightened being.  

To raise a kundalini you don’t need any technique or mantra. You only need to live a simple life and with a pure attitude towards everyone. All the technique and mantra given by guru is only to make your mind pure. And if you can do by understanding and with your intelligence you don’t need any mantra or guru following. 

There are many people who’ve used spirituality and meditation as a way of avoiding dealing with their issues. Since they feel good when they’re pursuing a spiritual path, guru, or new technique. They think that it will make all the uncomfortable stuff dissolve and go away. Unfortunately, it doesn’t work that way. Meditation can help strengthen the structure of our personality, making us better and able to deal with our challenges. And it may give us more insights into our daily life issues. It may reduce overall anxiety, make us feel safe. Therefore it brings positive changes in us and we are able to face ourselves better. But we still need to do the internal work needed to bring about change. Getting carried away with bliss and not attending day to day affairs, such as paying the bills, eating right, and understanding the meaning of relationships. We have to be able to balance our spiritual practices with our everyday and emotional lives. Spirituality and meditation gives us a sense of acknowledging our issues, and work through them. And accept all of ourselves, we’re honoring our spiritual essence. Following guru is a total waste of time if you are not able to pay your bills. First you need to take care of yourselves because you are in a physical plane not in another world.

Planetary Aspect in Astrology

In Vedic astrology every planet aspects from where it is placed in the house.  Aspects show how a planet spreads its influence on where it aspecting houses or planets in the chart. The Sanskrit word for aspect is drishti (glance). The planets look at each other or house and they affect different areas of life according to their nature. In this way they share their nature. To understand this first we need to understand the planetary nature and what they represent and what effect they have in our life. 

Sun: Sun is the ultimate power, Sun is pure light and Sun is the mild malefic planet.  When the Sun aspect to another planet it clarifies and illuminates the planets or houses by its light and shows the truth and what is righteous.

Moon: Moon is conscious, mind, and emotions. Moon wants bonding and wants to be peaceful. Moon aspects to other planets or houses bring clingingness but confusion due to emotional longing and a desire to merge.

Mars: Mars is anger, conflicts, individualism, and excitement. Mars is a separative planet due to its individual nature. Mars aspect to another planet activates and excites but also leads to conflict based on individual power and struggles.

Mercury: Mercury is intellectual, communication, and stimulation. The Mercury aspect to another planet  brings a sense of curiosity, stimulation, and skill but is also unfocused and over intellectual things.

Jupiter: Jupiter is wisdom, generosity, happiness, and  hope. The Jupiter aspect to other planets brings graciousness and accommodation but will exaggerate and distort based on hopes or disappointments.

Venus: Venus is love, desire, happiness, sensuality, beauty, balance, and etiquette. Venus aspects to other planets bring beauty, kindness and manners but also strong desires.

Saturn: Saturn is restriction, delay, and determination. Saturn aspects to other planets it brings restriction, commitment, delays seriousness and determination and also fear, worry and anxiety.

How will you understand the aspect?

Moon is the mind that rules “peace and connection”. Moon rules over the psychology of the person. The planets most strongly influence the Moon by either conjunction or aspect, then it will show how the person will perceive the world and act. 

When the Sun influences the Moon by conjunction it causes the Moon combust. The combust Moon affects the entire psychology of the person. The person with combust Moon has a difficult time feeling peaceful, patient and receptive to what life has to offer them. 

When the Sun aspect the Moon is different from conjunction. This aspect gives a strong mental outlook and the person is emotionally strong. The personality becomes more strong, unilateral, unaffected by others. It's just like your soul (Sun) and consciousness (Moon) are looking at each other. 

 

When Mars influences the Moon by conjunction or aspect it shows logical thinking. It has strong mental concepts or right and wrong thinking and is very active in external activities. Which exhausts the person physically and psychologically.

When Mercury influences the Moon by conjunction or aspect it shows the native interested in  learning new skills or gathering more information, but it also leads to emotional stress, neurotic criticising, and anxiety to the person.

When Jupiter’s influence the Moon by conjunction or aspect it shows that the person has more faith, optimism and philosophical nature. But it also leads to unrealistic ideas and trying to rise above things, which is not feasible in this materialistic world. 

When Venus’s influence the Moon by conjunction or aspect it makes a person more worldly. The person is pleasure seeking, pleasing others, courtesies and mannerful behavior.  But it also leads to too much sensual indulgence and interest in worldly matters. Which all ultimately drain energy.

When Saturn’s influence the Moon by conjunction or aspect.  It shows controlling the feelings and the external environment by building walls of protection. Resulting in fatigue, depression and loneliness.

The planetary aspects:

All of the planets in the same house and in the 7th (opposite) house will aspect each other. However, in addition to these aspects, the outer planets Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn have special aspects. Special Aspects of outer planets counted  forward manner

Saturn aspects the 3rd and 10th houses forward.

Jupiter aspects the 5th and 9th houses forward.

Mars aspects the 4th and 8th houses forward.

The outer planets are giving the “one way” aspect to another.

When Mars, Saturn, or Jupiter aspects a planet with one of their special aspects they "see" the planet but the planet does not see them. In other words, the influence is one-sided or unilateral. E.g. Mars casting its special aspect influences the other planet, but the other planet does not influence Mars.

There are two exceptions to this rule:

1. If Mars, Jupiter, or Saturn is in the sign ruled by the planet they are casting their special aspect on, then both planets influence each other (there is no unilateral influence). For example, if Mars is in Cancer and the Moon is in Libra, then Mars casts its special aspect on the Moon. But because Mars occupies the sign ruled by the Moon, it is also influenced by the Moon, because it resides in the Moon sign, they mutually influence each other.

2. The second exception is less common and unique: Since Mars aspects four forward and Saturn four backward (it means 10th forward aspect of Saturn). If Mars is 4 houses behind from Saturn, then they mutually aspect each other. e.g. Mars is in Scorpio and Saturn is in Aquarius. In this case, they influence each other equally. When Mars, Saturn, or Jupiter aspect to another planet unilaterally by special aspect, then their influence is more powerful than when they occupy the same (conjunction) or opposite (7th aspect) house as the planet. The special aspects of these three planets create unique circumstances where one planet can have a major effect upon another planet. Since every planet is the owner or lord of specific houses, the influence of special aspects extends to the houses ruled by the target planet. For example, if Saturn special aspects the Moon, and the Moon is the lord of the 10th house, then the career will be delayed, impeded, or in some way diminished by Saturn's special aspect on its lord.

Many Vedic astrologers assign Rahu and Ketu the same aspects as Jupiter – 5th and 9th house aspect. 

However Rahu and Ketu have no planetary aspect. The Sanskrit word for aspect is “drishti”, which means “look” or “glance”. Essentially, the planets should have a certain light and through that light their influence gets spread. But Rahu and Ketu are shadows of the Moon that move and make their appearance. In order to aspect or see there must be light but they do not emit light. Because Rahu and Ketu don’t have light, therefore they don’t aspect like other planets. However they Aspect ‘’sign (Rashi)’’wise. e.g. If Rahu is in Gemini sign (rashi) and Gemini sign ruled by Mercury therefore Rahu aspect Mercury, and the houses which Mercury rule. If Rahu is conjunct with Jupiter and Sun then it aspects Jupiter and Sun.
