Learning Some Basics of Predictive Principles
Now, if we take the normal day to day, mundane affairs, these very planets represent the following worldly persons.
The Sun
The king of the solar system, is the king always and everywhere. The level of regal splendour he shows will depend on his condition in a horoscope.
Family The father in a family and paternal relations, the Sun is also a dignified
administrative authority.
Society The King in a monarchy, the Sun is the dignitary in modern democracies and
represents highly placed persons whether in government service or private firms.
The Moon
Like the Sun, the other planet representing royalty is the Moon.
Family Represents the mother and everything connected with mother. Society The wise men (Dwija) of the society, popular person and in democracies, the
Moon aspected by Saturn represents the charisma some personalities develop.
Mars
Mars is the natural commander-in-chief in astrology.
Family Brothers, sisters. Notable Some astrologers following the Bhrigu system of Hindu astrology give to Mars
the role of a woman in a mans life. While many astrologers do not accept this, there is strong enough reason to go deeper into this aspect as some of my researches prove this to be very valid.
Society Mars gives an important marital point which pertains to marriage which is why
in Hindu astrology so much stress is laid on Mangalya (happiness of a marriage) and also Kujadosha (Kuja is a synonym for Mars). In social life, Mars represents the army, the police and men in uniform, administrators, men in high position, rulership, estate agents etc.
Mercury
In astrology Mercury is the prince.
Society Mercury represents knowledge and in modern life, business. So this planet has
many great significations of very wide variety. Mathematicians, sculptors, astrologers, astronomers, scholars, speakers, writers, men who know the secrets of mantras and yantras. In modern age, Mercury is the financial expert, accountant, auditor, journalist, newspaper man, paper merchant etc.
Notable The association of Mercury with certain planets in some rashis from the lagna
is the clue to finding it out. Lot of new researches will have to be done in this area.
Jupiter
Jupiter who is given the honored place of being the guru of gods, represents, the divine, the sacred.
Family Children, elder brother, respected elders in the family (whose intervention and
advice helps solve family problems)
Notable In Uttar Kalamrita, the other significations given to Jupiter are grandsons and
also grand-father.
Notable In Bhrigu astrology, Jupiter is said to represent the husband of a woman just
as Mars is said to represent the wife of a man.
Society Traditionally, the priest, the scholar, the adviser to the king (in ancient times),
Jupiter represents many new modern professionals.
Notable The judge, the teacher, the lawyer, the adviser in new modern forms become
legal experts, the management experts, the psychologists, the bankers etc.
Venus
Venus, traditionally the guru of asuras (monsters), is described as the lord of sixty-four arts, meaning that Venus represents, culture and sophistication.
Family Represents the sex-life of married partners in a tradition-bound society otherwise, the
sex-life of an individual. Generally Venus has been treated as wife. For those born after sun-rise Venus is said to take the place of Moon and becomes the mother.
Society Venus being representative of arts, all form of arts, fine or commercial, dance,
song, drama, literature, poetry being its sole domain, dramatists, poets, dancers etc. are Venus-dominant personalities.
Notable In modern context, the perfumers, hoteliers, owners of restaurant, computersoftware men and even those who deal with flesh-trade fall under the vast Venusian umbrella.
Saturn
Hindu astrologers are mostly superstitious in their understanding and treatment of the significations of Saturn. True, Saturn represents, trouble, sorrow, old age, sickness. Yet in all the great classics of Hindu astrology Saturn has been given some other beneficent roles which are overlooked. My best research given in my books emphasise the positive side of Saturn with many illustrations.
Family Old men and servants in the family. Old, dilapidated houses specially made of
bricks. For those born at night Saturn represents father, taking the place of the Sun, the natural significator of father.
Society If the Sun is the aristocrat, Saturn is the democrat while Mars is the dictator.
These hints help us in making predictions about the type of government a nation will have at a given point of time. Lower classes, democrats, crippled persons, old men, are represented by Saturn in traditional astrology. In the changed socio-economic times of ours, Saturn is the seeker of powers through elections to democratic bodies, iron-smiths and also industrialists (in cooperation with Mars), a psychologist in cooperation with Jupiter, an artist in cooperation with Venus, a sculptor in co-operation with Mercury etc.
Notable Astrologers who fail to seek the very wide and sweeping range of all new
professions created by Saturn will fall into thousands of errors of judgments.
Rahu
Next to Saturn the most condemned planet is Rahu. Unless astrologers do new researches and see the positive side of these planets, more damage will be done to astrology than has already been done so far.
Family Paternal grand-parents (though Uttar Kalamrita also uses Rahu for maternal
grand-parents), old, sick person in the family and those that become non-conformist's.
Society The foreigner, the engineer, the architect, the space engineer, the politician, air
hostesses, aeroplane pilots and manifold new technical and semi-technical professions fall in the domain of Rahu.
Ketu
Ketu is the most baffling planet in astrology, spiritual, divine on the one hand and baffling in a medical sense.
Society Ketu is the planet which plays key role in shaping a doctor or other men in
semi-medical or alternative systems of medicine. Ketu, combined with other planets, produces inventors, men dealing with subtle secrets of nature around our world.
Notable Some hints have been given here about the persons represented by different
planets some of them are traditional and some of them are additional. For instance Ketu represents languages and linguists. These days when people learn computer it naturally falls under Ketu because there is computer language to be learnt. If planets combine, aspect each other in certain houses from the lagna, the meaning of this should be interpreted with an open mind. The classical principle should never be overlooked and the new meaning must be discovered otherwise astrological research will remain stagnant.
