How to wear it - Necklace, beads, Ring, Pendants, jewelry

Gemstones are worn in many ways from ancient times. Some of them were the integral part of  jewelry and   ornaments from a long period of time.

Mantras in Vedic astrology

Vedic astrology is a Perfect science which is considered the sixth limb of Vedas.Jyotisham Chakshuh uchayate” as told in Vedic scriptures. Our Indian Vedic seers have found out principles based on the position of the planets in the sky and their impacts on the human life. These principles very much stored in different vedic classics Rig-Veda, yajurveda, samveda and atharva Veda, Puranas, work of seers like Parashara, Jaimini, Vashishtha, Garga and other works of vedic astrologers and also Varah Mihir and Aryabhatta 1 and 2nd .Thus, Vedic astrology is a science which unfolds many of the uncertainties in our lives and makes way to solving problems and deals with all aspect in the human life.

Our Indian civilization is a growing one and now in this scientific era our astrologers have evolved some of the remedies as per the new age. There are many ways of recommending remedies for the evil effects of the planets as per their positions. Different schools of Vedic astrology have emerged since Vedic period which recommends remedies as per their belief. No doubt these schools follow the traditional Vedic way of readings or interpretation of horoscope but they have changes their technique. It is also seen that astrologers mixes one school with another school just to impose their ideas on the native. The natal (horoscope) chart drawn at the time of the birth recommends remedies which help the native to reduce the impacts of malefic planet in his/her horoscope chart. The Remedies of the planets include Yagya, recitation of Vedic mantras, donations, Homam and worshipping the concerned deity.

Since macrocosm and microcosm are the two poles of the same energy principle, our Vedic sages evolved a technique which could connect the two through one medium. They called it mantra. Mantra is the first principle which works in accordance with the cosmic energy in ether. The Sanskrit word for contemplation is Manana (thought) and the tool or medium for Manana is Mantra.

Mantra are the single syllables or short phrases which when chanted correctly as well as repeatedly produce vibrations which set the nerves in motion and stimulate them for suitable action in consonance with desired achievements.

Vedic scriptures reveal that mantras are sounds which originated from the five faces of Lord Shiva in different forms. The Basics of Mantra i.e. Shabda (sound), is more ancient than anything which subtle in form. It could be said that the Shabda (Sound) was born before deity and human being. It is said that sound leaves its impacts on common human being from heart to soul. In philosophy of Panini (Vedic grammarian), it was said that Shabda (Sound) is Brahm (Almighty).It is said that astrology is the eyes of Vedas and Mantra is the heart. Astrology facilitates to look into the human problems and predictions, Mantra invokes their remedies. Mantra has also been called so because it is repeated in the secrecy of one’s mind and is capable of capturing the source of infinite energy through chabting.It could be said the Mantras are sacred utterances (syllables, words or verses) that are considered to possess mystical or spiritual efficacy. Various Mantras are either spoken aloud or merely sounded internally in one’s thoughts, and they are either repeated continuously for some time or just sounded once. Most Mantras are without any apparent verbal meaning, but they are thought to have a profound underlying significance and are, in effect, distillations of spiritual wisdom. Thus, repetitions of or meditation on a particular Mantra can induce a trance like state in the person and can lead him to a higher level of spiritual awareness. Besides bringing spiritual enlightenment, different kinds of mantras are used to work other psychic or spiritual purposes, such as protecting oneself from evil psychic powers.

There is wonderfully miraculous usefulness of the mantras if they are repeated in the proper manner and the injunctions regarding the modes of their application and practice are strictly observed. In all our Hindu rituals, chanting of Vedic mantras is an essential feature. The Vedas, especially the Rig-Veda, contain one lack mantras. These mantras, we believe, are effective by mere repetition. If we even do not know the meanings thereof. In fact, the literal meaning of the words has nothing to do with regard to realization of the desires. Mantras have four fold powers which are considered as four pillars of this Vedic methodology which are as under:

Power has the supreme authority.

Power of yielding the desired results

Amplifying the productive power.

A comprehensive gripping facility.

No doubt, if Mantras are practiced in letter and spirit, they give fruits as per the devotee’s desires. While practicing the Mantras the devotee should follow the rules provided in the Vedic Indian classics such as Brahman granthas, Tantra, Agamas, and Upanishads etc.

Mantra, Yantra and astrology are complimentary to each other. Different Yantras are connected with different deities coupled with different Mantras. All the five basic elements namely earth, water, air, Fire and sky are connected with Yantras and through specific rituals one controls the nature to get the desired benefit. Hence, according to classics Yantra is a science which can be used through five elements and recitation of Mantras. So, it could be said that Mantras and Yantras are complimentary to each other.

Power in Relationships

My girlfriend and I met for tea, and one item on the agenda was Pluto & power. She said, 'I realize that I give the powerful people in my life, my power. I'd rather be behind the scenes.' She has Pluto in Libra in the Twelfth House. So do I. Heavy topic for tea-time but my progressed Moon is conjunct Pluto so the timing was perfect. It got me to thinking about personal power in relationships. 

The Pluto in Libra generation* are sorting out power dynamics through intimate commitment, but we also have a wound here; where Pluto falls in our birth chart, there is a wound, which, through healing, we feel on purpose and alive. If we aren’t in our power we can walk through relationship (and life) brooding, feeling emotionally dull, or, as Steven Forrest says, not exactly depressed but blah. That’s because unprocessed wounds take energy, and when we process them we free the energy.

When unprocessed wounds interfere with healthy relating, the balance of power in relationship is always disrupted. It can’t help but be. Imagine trying to have an independent identity with a partner who hasn’t dealt with abandonment/betrayal fears; that person holds more ‘invisible’ power.

Pluto in Libra folks are charged with discovering how they use power in relationship, but wherever Pluto touches a planet in the birth chart that planet is Plutonified and you will face wounding/power. For example, if natal Pluto squares your Moon you will feel the darker dimensions of biological need, nurturance, love because you experienced a wound. But you have an opportunity to heal, to care for your self & others in an empowered way.

How do you handle power in relationship?  Who holds the power? If it’s another, how? What role do you play in allowing them to hold the power?

Points for consideration:

 -It may help to define power. It is strong and influential energy. Power can be persuasive, manipulative, charming or defensive. Power can also be alive, energetic, and make you feel plugged in, purposeful and alive. The nature of power is to remain hidden. That’s where it wields energy.  Pluto is the planet of power; everything I’ve just said about power is true for Pluto.

-The more insidious form of power is control. Control leaves little room for independence, individuality –or- negotiation and problem solving. This kind of control arises from a defense against vulnerability, and deep wounds. It renders the democratic negotiations inherent to relationship void.

-The power balance is in constant change. For example, when one partner needs more from the other partner and, for a time. A power struggle can occur when one partner wants to change something from the way it is/has been. I love this quote (unattributed): "Great ideas alter the power balance in relationships.  That’s why great ideas are initially resisted."

-Consider gender and your family dynamics. For example, women have been historically socialized to defer to men.  Research studies show women are to be less competitive/put forth ideas when in the company of men; separated into ‘women only’ groups, women are more assertive, competitive.

*If you were born between 10/6/71-11/5/83 (except for a brief retrograde in Virgo 4/18-07/30/72) your natal Pluto is in Libra.

  What Is Astrology ?

Astrology is the study of stars, Planets and their effects on human beings. Astrology is the message of stars and planetary positions at the time of birth. Astrology is a perfect science seems to have developed over the centuries on the basis of observations and statistical analysis, accompanying speculations and extra-sensory perceptions. Astrology studies the relationship between the changing sky and our fate, world events. There is a cosmic dance on the grand scale and one the intimate scale, going on for each of us. Astrology is the study of this astrological chart, as well as the prediction for future based on how other astrological phenomena might influence the astrology readings. The interpretation of horoscope chart is also a large part of the art of astrology, and is necessary for accurate predictions.
During the middle age, the astrology was generally divided into natural astrology, the science which predicts the motions of heavenly bodies and eclipses of Sun and Moon and Judicial astrology, which studies the influences of consultations on the destiny of Men and empires.
To put quite simply, astrology is the study of stars. The stars as referred to in astrology with respect to the planets, the sun and the Moon. Astrology has been used throughout history as a form of entertainment, and a part of daily life.
Astrology begins with the mapping of the planets, including the sun and the moon. This map is called an astrological chart. Most often an astrological chart is cast for someone at birth. To determine the position of planets sun and moon for an astrological chart the astrologer needs to know the exact location of the birth, the exact time, and the date of the birth of the native. The planets found on the astrological chart are the sun ,the moon, Saturn, Venus, Jupiter, Mars, Mercury, Rahu, Ketu, Neptune, Uranus and Pluto. The earth is not considered because it is the point in the universe from which we view the other planets. The sun and Moon are considered planets in astrology, which is difficult for people to remember.
Astrology is an important part of history, as well as our daily lives. Astrology can predict future events to some degrees. It influences our moods, the moods of others and the reactions that we have to everyday occurrences. The importance of astrology was well known to people of ancient history. Maps of the stars and evidences of the use of astrology in daily life have been found in pre-historic cave drawings, ancient manuscripts, and Egyptian pyramids. The most recent, and possibly the most astounding, discovery about astrology in history involves the birth of Christ according to the Christian bible. It has been determined that the star of Bethlehem was actually an astrological event, consisting of many stars and astrological meanings. Scientists and astrologers now believe that it was not a star at all.
The wise men from the east understood that the major event would happen in Judah based on the alignment of planets within the constellation of the lion. In other words, the wise men used astrology to discern the event of the birth, not a star. The importance of astrology is still well known to many cultures. The people of India and china put great stock in astrology even today. Astrology is practiced in their daily lives and they take major decisions based on astrological parlance. In the western world, astrology has become more of a form of entertainment. Horoscopes based on sun signs are published in every major newspapers and magazine across the America, United Kingdom, Australia, Canada as well as India. Horoscope scrolls and booklets can be purchased in most supermarket checkout lanes and so called astrologers charge for their astrology readings. In short, the importance of astrology lies in the direct influence that the moon, sun and stars play in our lives. Our lives are affected by many people and events. These people And events are influenced by astrology.
The horoscope (astrological) chart consists of twelve houses. Each house represents as aspect of life, such as romance, career, family etc.since there are only nine planets, each horoscope chart will may have few vacant houses. Vacant houses represent aspects of life which, for whatever reason, the cosmos do not feel you need to work on .The position of the sun also determines native’s Sun sign. This is the first aspect of astrology studied on the astrological chart.Next, the positions of the planets are studied in relation to their influence on the sun sign.Finally, The Moon sign and position is studied in relation to the rest of the astrological chart.
So, astrology is considered the best way to know one’s past, present and future accurately. To interpret astrology predictions astrologers should have sound knowledge about planets, their positions, their nature, and their relations to each other then only can astrologer predict accurately about one’s life.More..
