Vedic Astrology : Ancient Wisdom for Modern Human

In this focused Vedic astrology episode, I explore how Mercury, Jupiter, and Venus shape physical build, height, posture, and gaze — using classical Jyotish principles that link body language and presence directly to planetary influence.This is not surface-level astrology. These traits help you recognize planetary dominance in real people, not just charts.☿ Mercury (Budha): Short, Agile, YouthfulMercury is classically described as short in stature, but its real signature is lightness and speed.Strong Mercury influence gives:Compact or slender frameYouthful appearanceQuick movements and...

In this focused Vedic astrology episode, I decode the physical build, stature, posture, and gaze associated with Saturn (Shani), Rahu, and Ketu — the three most karmically intense forces in Jyotish.These planets don’t just shape destiny.They shape how a person stands, moves, looks, and occupies space.♄ Saturn (Shani): Tall, Lean, EnduringClassical texts consistently describe Saturn as tall and lean, often with:Long limbs, narrow frame, prominent bonesUpright but restrained postureSlow, deliberate movementSaturn natives look built for endurance, not di...

In this focused Vedic astrology education episode, I decode one of the most practical yet rarely explained classical concepts in Jyotish: planetary physical build (height, body type) and planetary glances (direction of gaze) — using the Sun, Moon, and Mars as primary archetypes.Ancient texts describe planets not just as psychological forces, but as living energies that shape posture, movement, presence, and the way a person occupies space. This episode shows how to observe astrology in real people, not just charts.🌞 Sun (Surya): Average Height, Regal PresenceThe Sun is classically described as average in he...

In Vedic astrology, each planet expresses itself through a geometric intelligence—a shape that reveals how its energy expands, stabilizes, and guides life. For Jupiter (Bṛhaspati)—the planet of wisdom, dharma, abundance, and spiritual guidance—that shape is the ellipse.Jupiter’s Geometry: The EllipseUnlike the perfect symmetry of a circle, the ellipse expands while staying anchored. It has two focal points, not one—symbolizing Jupiter’s core function: bridging higher truth with lived reality. Spirit and matter. Idealism and ethics. Knowledge and application.Classical texts describe Jupiter as large-bodied (bṛhat deha), golde...

In Part 7 of the Planetary Geometric Correspondences in Vedic Astrology series, I take you deep into the profound and often misunderstood world of Saturn (Shani) — the planet of karma, discipline, time, endurance, responsibility, and spiritual maturity.In Vedic symbolic geometry, Saturn is represented not by a curve or a flow, but by a square divided into four equal panes, much like a four-paned window. At first glance, this image appears simple, even restrictive. But when you contemplate it deeply, it reveals Saturn’s true function as the cosmic architect of consequence and long-term evolution.This four...

In Vedic astrology, planets don’t only signify psychology or destiny—they also express themselves through geometry. Each graha carries a symbolic shape that reveals how its energy stabilizes, moves, and structures reality. We begin this series with Surya, the Sun—the source of vitality, authority, and soul-direction.Surya’s Geometry: The Square (Chaturasra)Classical texts like Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra describe the Sun as having a square body. This is not metaphorical—it’s architectural symbolism.The square represents stability, authority, containment, and direction. With four equal sides, it maps the four cardinal dir...

Sun (Surya) — Vitality, Authority, Inner FireSurya responds to warming, energizing influences: red/orange hues, saffron, ginger, black pepper, and rituals like Surya Arghya (water offering) using copper. Ruby and gold are traditional solar amplifiers. Sunday routines—Surya Namaskar, sandalwood/saffron tilak—build clarity, courage, and “inner spine.”Moon (Chandra) — Mind, Emotions, NourishmentChandra is cooled and nourished by white, soothing foods: milk, rice, ghee, coconut, watery fruits. Lunar herbs like shatavari, chamomile, jasmine, sandalwood calm the nervous system and support hormones. Silver and pearl/moonstone align with lunar softness. Monday rituals favor white flower...

2) Moon (Chandra) → Rakta/Rasa flow (Blood–plasma–lymph rhythm)Moon rules the body’s inner waters: circulation, lymph, hormonal tides, emotional fluidity.Strong Moon → stable mood, healthy blood flow, hormonal balance, good immunity tone.Weak/afflicted Moon (debilitated Scorpio, malefics) → anemia, water retention, edema, PMS/hormonal swings, anxiety/depression patterns.Moon is Kapha-nature: nourishing when balanced, congestive when distorted.3) Mars (Mangala) → Majja Dhatu (Marrow + Nervous vitality)Mars governs marrow, immunity drive, neural heat, and your reflexive “fight energy.”Strong Mars → sharp reflexes, strong resistance, quick healing, decisive ac...

In Ayurvedic Astrology (Jyotish + Ayurveda), Pitta isn’t “just strong fire.” It’s the quality, direction, and containment of fire. The two primary Pitta grahas—Sun (Surya) and Mars (Mangala)—govern heat, metabolism (agni), blood, inflammation, courage, leadership, and sharp cognition. But whether this becomes radiant vitality or toxic inflammation depends on planetary strength (bala) and dignity: exaltation/debilitation (ucha/nicha), combustion, retrograde, yogas, aspects, and nodes (Rahu–Ketu).1) Pitta Planets: Strength Decides “Clean Fire” vs “Wild Fire”Exalted / well-placed Sun (Aries/Leo; strong dignity, unafflicted) → clean burn: bright skin/eyes, strong confidence, stable agni, leadership with clarity...

In Ayurveda + Vedic Astrology (Jyotish), a Kapha-dominant constitution is the signature of Earth + Water: stability, nourishment, immunity, and emotional endurance. Astrologically, Kapha is most strongly shaped by Moon (Chandra), Jupiter (Guru), and Venus (Shukra)—the grahas that build tissue, coherence, comfort, fertility, and ojas.1) Kapha Appearance Markers (Body & Face)Kapha types often look grounded and well-supported: sturdy or stocky frame, broad shoulders, strong joints, thicker bones. Skin tends to be cool, smooth, pale, and slightly oily/moist. Hair is thick, lustrous, and eyes are large, soft, attractive—the “calm lake” gaze.Digestion is usually...

In Vedic Astrology (Jyotish), the planets aren’t “objects.” They are Navagraha deities — living intelligences with myth, temperament, symbolism, and psychological function. This personification is not just poetry. It’s a practical interpretive key: the more you can see each Graha as a being, the more clearly you can read how it behaves inside your mind, karma, and life story.☀️ Part 1 — Surya (Sun): The Radiant KingSurya rides a golden chariot drawn by seven horses (seven rays, seven meters of Vedic rhythm), driven by Aruna — time’s charioteer. Surya is the Atman, authority, dignity, visibility, and purpose.P...

In Vedic Astrology (Jyotish), planets don’t only rule events or life areas — they symbolize distinct stages of inner human development.Each Graha represents a psychological, karmic, and spiritual phase through which the soul matures over time.This framework answers a deeper question astrology often overlooks:not just what happens in life, but when different inner faculties awaken.☀️ Sun — Adulthood & Self-AuthorityThe Sun symbolizes symbolic adulthood: identity, confidence, purpose, and leadership.It reflects the phase when a person stops borrowing direction and begins living from inner authority.A str...

In Vedic Astrology (Jyotish), each Graha has a “maturity age” — the point when its results stabilize and its karmic theme becomes fully lived. This isn’t just prediction; it’s a timeline of psychological evolution.Planet maturity ages:• Jupiter 16 — wisdom, faith, dharma compass awakens• Sun 22 — identity, purpose, authority crystallize• Moon 24 — emotional security and bonding stabilize• Venus 25 — love, self-worth, taste, relationship clarity refine• Mars 28 — courage, anger, drive become disciplined power• Mercury 32 — thinking, communication, strategy mature into discernment• Saturn 36 — karma, responsibility, endurance reward long effort• Rahu 42 — ambition/obsession re...

If you’ve understood what the planets mean, where they sit, and how they aspect — you’re ready for the real upgrade:How strong is a planet… truly?Because in Jyotish, a graha doesn’t deliver results based on “meaning” alone.It delivers according to Bala — its strength across multiple dimensions.In this episode, I take you through Part 6 to Part 10 of planetary mastery — the layers that turn chart reading from surface interpretation into precision spiritual diagnostics.✅ Part 6 — Trikonabala: Strength Through Trines (Dharma, Purpose, Grace)The 5th house is your past-lif...

✅ 1) Graha: Why Planets Are Not Just PlanetsWhen you hear the word Graha, don’t reduce it to “planet.”Graha comes from the root grah — to seize, grasp, hold, possess.That tells you the Vedic worldview immediately:A Graha is not only a physical body in space.A Graha is a conscious force that can seize your mind, shape your tendencies, and pull your karma into lived experience.That’s why understanding the planets is not merely astronomy.It is psychology + karma + cosmic intelligence...

When you move beyond surface-level predictions, you begin to discover something most people never realize — Jyotish is a profound system of spiritual psychology.It doesn’t merely describe what happens to you.It reveals how you respond, why you react, and which inner patterns quietly shape your destiny.In this video, I invite you to explore Jyotish as a map of consciousness, not just a predictive tool:The birth chart as a psychological blueprintPlanets (Grahas) as living archetypes within your psycheMars as your inner fire and...

When you hear the word Jyotish, don’t reduce it to astrology, calculations, or predictions.I invite you to understand Jyotish for what it truly is — Jotir Vidya, the sacred science of light.The word Jyoti means light. Vidya means sacred knowledge.Together, they point not just to celestial illumination, but to the light of consciousness itself — the awareness that allows you to perceive the Sun, Moon, planets, time, and karma.In this video, I take you beyond horoscope reading and into the living stream of Jyotish wisdom:Jyotish as sou...

If you want to practice Vedic Astrology (Jyotish) seriously, you must begin with something most students skip: essential astronomy.Because Jyotish is not built on vague symbolism.It rests on measurable sky mechanics — degrees, horizons, planetary motion, and a precise zodiac framework.In this video, I walk you through the true foundation: the zodiac as the skeletal structure of Jyotish.✅ 1) The Zodiac: the 360° Framework of JyotishThe zodiac is a 360° belt along the ecliptic — the apparent path of the Sun, Moon, and planets from Earth.It is divided...

Have you ever wondered why the ancient Rishis looked at the stars not as distant lights, but as living forces guiding the rhythm of life?In Origins & Evolution of Jyotish (Part 1), I take you into the mystical oral roots of Vedic Astrology—a tradition older than writing itself. Before books, palm-leaf manuscripts, or printed horoscopes, there were sages who observed the sky, preserved mantras in memory, and transmitted knowledge through Shruti—that which is heard, not merely read.This episode reframes Jyotish as it truly is:✅ Not horoscope-making✅ Not superstition✅ Not...

What if I told you that Vedic astrology is not about predicting your future, but about decoding your karmic design?In this Chapter 1 – Part 1 of our Online Vedic Astrology Course, I take you deep into the philosophical foundations of Jyotish within Sanatana Dharma. This is not pop astrology. This is not superstition. This is Jyotish as a mathematical and spiritual science of karma, time, and consciousness.In the Sanatana Dharma framework, Jyotish is the eye of the Vedas—a vision-giving system that reveals why events unfold, when karmic chapters activate, and what inner evolution is bein...
