Section: Universal Truth

Content: If you look deeply, if you look beyond mundane life, beyond the day-to-day life we live... If you contemplate on a night sky... you will see that the most intimate and complete relationship man owns is the relationship to the Universe. In fact, it is man's ultimate relationship: he takes birth, lives and merges back into it. Nothing happens outside of it; even his enlightenment happens in it. Just as the child grows in his mother's womb, man evolves in the cosmic womb. He is the microcosm of a tremendous cosmic macrocosm. Therefore, all components of man, from the grossest to the subtlest, come from the universe: his body, his mind, his energy and his very consciousness are elements of the cosmos. Universe and man are indivisible. Whatever happens in the Universe resounds in the human consciousness, and whatever happens in the human consciousness resounds in the Universe. Both are a unique consciousness.

Section: The Great Vedic Astronomy

Content: Man has been deeply fascinated by the Cosmos since the beginning of time. Early cultures worked on understanding the phenomena that happen in the sky; they observed them in order to understand what role the sky played in their lives. From these attempts, the science of astronomy was born.

Content: In this field, the ancient Vedic contribution is well known. The earliest references to astronomy are found in the Rg Veda, which are dated 2000 BC. Around 500 BCE, Āryabhaṭa, a great astronomer, presented a system that showed the earth to spin on its axis and considered the motions of the planets with respect to the Sun. He also discovered how the lunar and solar eclipses occur and was the earliest to discover that the orbits of the planets around the Sun are ellipses, just as Copernicus and Galileo concluded a thousand years later. He even determined the diameter of the Earth to be 5,000 yojanas, approximately 36,000 km, which is very close to the actual figure.

Content: These traditions related these objects and their movements to natural events such as rain, drought, seasons and tides; they related them to auspicious or inauspicious occurrences on planet Earth. Jyotiṣa, the science of Vedic astrology, took birth out of observations and perceptions based on these astronomical phenomena. The first astronomers were actually Ṛṣis and sages, who understood the sky was a divine happening; they identified celestial objects with energies and Gods and connected astronomy to astrology.

Section: Jyotiṣa Simply Put

Content: Astrology manifested in the inner vision of the ancient sages and Ṛṣis of India. These yogīs and enlightened beings were able to see beyond the realm of names and forms. They could feel and express the subtle reality that exists behind cosmic phenomena. As such, they perceived the primal powers of cosmic intelligence in the planets and stars (the macrocosm), and worshipped the cosmic powers within themselves (the microcosm) as powers of their being. By concentrating intensely on the Sun and other planets, they understood the movement of the life force in their body, and by meditating on the life force, they also came to understand the movement of the Sun and the planets in the heavens. Through this technique called samyama, they could unravel the secrets of the universe. They brought down their understanding into a system of Vedic science, which became known as Jyotiṣa: the science of light. Parāśara was one such sage. He is known for being

According to history, he is the grandson of Vasiṣṭa and also father of Veda Vyāsa, who wrote the great epic Māhābhārata. The depth of his astrological knowledge was so great that one evening while crossing a river in a boat, he casually looked at his favorite stars in heaven and suddenly realized it was an exceptionally auspicious moment. He concluded that if a child were conceived at that moment, he would be an expert in the scriptures. So he told this to the lady rowing the boat and requested that she marry him. She agreed and the son born out of their spiritual union was Veda Vyāsa!

Content: Jyotiṣa can help one to read his destiny. But what is actually destiny?

Section: Jyotiṣa and Living Enlightenment

Content: There are only two types of destinies:

Section: Jyotiṣa and Living Enlightenment

Content: The first one is destiny as defined by a dictionary: destiny lived within the boundaries of the ego, with its own expectations, hopes, desires, successes and failures. It is constantly changing. Because it evolves under mind’s law, it is mechanical, accidental and coincidental. This ‘destiny’ is lived in the dimension of the mind, so it has no existential reality in itself. It is nothing more than a reproduction of one’s past in the

Section: Moon in Sagittarius

Content: Moon in Sagittarius

Content: present, which conditions the future in a mechanical way.

Content: The other destiny is existential and ultimate; it is the flowering of consciousness into enlightenment. Understand: the only thing predestined in the scheme of life is that man is meant to evolve to reach enlightenment. The rest is just incidental; it happens for no other reason than to teach and mold the being towards seeking enlightenment. Living enlightenment is all about making conscious choices, free from the unconscious push and pull of the saṃskāras.

Content: The further you wander from your center, the more you lose yourself in your periphery, the more you are subjected to incidents and accidents. Whereas, when you live enlightenment, you are centered, you are within your boundaries, you are aware. You become predestined, because your predestination is to reach enlightenment; your destiny is to become more and more aware. Then you become the agent of your fate,

For that to happen, a simple understanding of the forces at work in you can help clarity manifest in your daily routine. In addition to this, you can follow a couple of guidelines to keep your body healthy with the science of Āyurveda and raise your energy level with yoga, the use of gemstones, rudrākṣa beads, mantra chanting, and a basic knowledge of your psychological tendencies coupled with the ancient Vedic wisdom expressed by the great enlightened Masters. All these remedies will bring lucidity about your mental set-up and support for eventually dropping your conditionings, unclutching from your mind and emotions and fostering your intelligence and energy to Live Enlightenment.

Section: Understanding Grahas and Nakṣatras

Content: The grahas are energy centers, energy fields that planets exert in the universe. Each of the nine main grahas in Vedic astrology has a specific energy field that creates specific effects on our planet Earth. For example, the moon has a strong impact on the movements of the sea and on plant growth; it even influences the mind of human beings. In the same way, the major energy centers produce an effect on living beings and influence their potential at birth, their mental set-up and, therefore, the course of their destiny. In Jyotiṣa, grahas are often referred to as the agents of the karmas for which the soul took birth. Human personality and life have their counterparts in the structure of the cosmic physiology, represented by the grahas and the nakṣatras.

Content: There are nine grahas (nine influences or ‘planets’) in our solar system: the Sun (Sūrya), the Moon (Candra), Mars (Mangal), Mercury (Budha), Jupiter (Guru), Venus (Śukra), Saturn (Śani) and two nodes called Rāhu (ascending lunar node) and Ketu (descending lunar node)

Content: node). These represent archetypes. Sūrya, for example, represents consciousness; Candra represents the cosmic mind; Budha represents the cosmic intellect, etc.

Content: Most of the calendars of the world have been set by the Sun's and Moon's movements (measuring the day, month and year) and were of great importance for agriculture, because the harvest depended on planting at the correct time of the year. But the Vedic tradition uses a system of 27 nakṣatras to calculate months. The nakṣatra is the constellation in which the moon sits in the heaven at a particular time. In each month, the full moon sits in a particular constellation, and the Vedic month will have this nakṣatra's name.

Content: Each nakṣatra falls under the rule of one, sometimes two grahas. Each graha is assigned three nakṣatras. For example, if the child is born when the moon sits in Aśvini nakṣatra, his birth star will be Aśvini, and his sign will be Aries (called mesha in Sanskrit), ruled by planet Mars (Mangala). Bharani and Kṛttika, the two next nakṣatras, also fall under the lordship of Aries sign.

Content: Moon in Sagittarius

Section: Moon in Sagittarius

Content: All three will therefore have similar characteristics and will influence the child's mind and consciousness at the time of birth, shaping his destiny.

Content: A king had seven sons. One day, sādhus (holy mendicants) came begging for alms, but the wives of these sons turned them away empty handed. Jupiter became angry with them, and as a result, the prosperity of the kingdom diminished.

Content: The youngest wife visited a sage to ask for a solution to this problem. The sage advised her to fast on Thursdays and to give alms to spiritual people. The master also suggested that if any one of the girl’s husbands had gone to a foreign country, the wife should create two human figures and place them behind her door, which would ensure the safe return of her husband.

Content: The youngest wife did so, as her husband has gone on a tour to a foreign country.

The king had no son. In order to find a suitable successor, a garland was put on the horn of a female elephant and whoever was garlanded by the elephant would be king. The elephant put the garland on the youngest son's neck. He became king.

Content: The youngest wife's spiritual discipline brought prosperity to the kingdom.

Content: The other six wives also repented and began to do Vara Pūjā (worshipping Jupiter on Thursdays) for Jupiter to bless their families and kingdom as well.

Content: Tendencies of a person born under Mūla Mūla means ‘root’ in Sanskrit; the symbol of the nakṣatra is a bunch of roots tied together. It shows everything of basic nature; it connotes the idea of foundation, commencement from the very bottom. The nakṣatra has the power to ruin, destroy and break things apart, and reveals the necessary dissolution that precedes a new life on a new basis, on a more spiritual basis. If the native feels pain in his life, it is seldom to inspire him to look for something higher. Mūla inspires the person to seek for divine help. You can become very devoted to your spiritual path and come to spiritualize yourself completely. You will be successful in financial matters and materially comfortable. You can have a deep spiritual nature and an inquisitive mind, which enjoys exploring the roots of any subject.

Section: Energy Centers and Sagittarius

Content: The Sahasrāra Cakra - Fostering Gratitude

Content: There are seven major energy centers in our body, called cakras in Sanskrit. They are directly connected to our emotions and impact different aspects of our personality and the way we relate to ourselves, others, and to Existence.

Content: Each planet resonates with a particular energy center in the body. The expanded characteristics of Jupiter in Sagittarius are connected to sahasrāra cakra, located at the top of the head. Sahasrāra flowers when you start giving gratitude towards the whole, existence, regardless of what happens to you. This unfolds with beautiful devotion, trust and a deep love for life. This devotion can directly fulfill the native who has a natural capacity for feeling fulfilled and enjoying life to its fullest.

Content: Depression can be a side effect from the native’s not letting this aspect of himself grow. The constant

Section: Moon in Sagittarius

Content: discontentment that blocks this cakra brings emotional restlessness and ultimately drains his system, creating chronic depression.

Content: You should keep an eye on your diet, which can be extreme when depression or low moods assail you. Sagittarius can be prone to bulimia and seeking sweets to counterbalance a lack of affection.

Content: To keep sahasrāra balanced, to develop awareness and experience how you can flower by sharing your generosity, optimism will benefit you. You can give this teaching a try today: ‘suffocate others with your gratitude’. This attitude will give contentment and the expansion you are seeking.

Content: A balanced sahasrāra cakra will manifest a broad and generous personality, one that radiates bliss.

Content: In a birth chart, many influences have to be considered to find out one’s body type. Consulting an experienced Ayurvedic doctor will help you to understand your body constitution. Generally, the Ayurvedic dośa (body constitution) related to Sagittarius is kapha. Let’s use this scale: If you experience symptoms such as lethargy, a feeling of heaviness, nausea, chills, looseness of the limbs, coughing, mucus discharges, breathing difficulties and a tendency to sleep too much and high cholesterol, you may be suffering from kapha imbalance. Other symptoms can be inertia, congestion, stagnation and circulation problems. There may be a tendency toward obesity and boredom, depression, apathy, laziness, and mental dullness may be present.

Butter, ice cream, cheese and milk should be avoided; they are among the worst foods which aggravates kapha. The consumption of salt should be kept in check, as it creates water retention in kapha body types.

Content: They should enjoy plenty of fresh vegetables, raw fruits and salads. Pungent, bitter, and astringent tastes decrease kapha influences. Black pepper, ginger, cumin, chili, and some other spices provide the pungent taste; bitterness is provided by some green leafy vegetables like lettuce, endive and some green vegetables and beans provide the astringent taste, like cucumber and unripe fruits.

Content: Jupiter natives can be benefitted through techniques that boost their body and enable them to expand their capacity to visualize. Sagittarians naturally seek the state of meditation; they can easily fall into the no-mind state. To add to it, they can also practice yoga, which will bring this state into their body, into their cells, and also boost their kapha constitution which needs dynamism. Rituals are also techniques that Sagittarians are attracted too, enabling their devotional and traditional approach to spirituality to be expressed in a beautiful way.

Content: drop that thought. Go beyond the galaxy. When you continuously expand your mind to go beyond, you will be in the present moment.

Content: Whatever you think is the ultimate in your life, drop it, and expand your thinking to something bigger. Then again your mind will automatically grasp something else. Don’t allow your mind to hold that idea; drop it also. Don’t bother about the ending. Just constantly keep dropping each boundary, each thought, and expanding, going beyond.

Content: Meditate on the real Master, or the real cosmos or the real God. You may think you have grasped the essence of God, but that can never be, because your mind can never grasp the real God! If your mind can grasp God, it means your mind is greater than God. So what you grasped is not God, it is just your idea of God. Drop the idea and try again. Grasp something bigger than that.

Before each repetition of Sūrya Namaskār, one chants the corresponding mantra, which is a glorification of the Sun.

Section: Mantra for Sagittarius

Content: Aum hrīṁ Nityānandāya namaḥ (Om Hreem Nithyanandaya Namaha)

Content: In this mantra, Aum is the primordial sound and is the representation of Śiva’s energy, the male aspect of the universe. Actually, Aum is the cosmic sound that pervades the grahas, their movements and their effects on us.

Content: The Bīja mantra (seed sound), Hrīṁ, has no linguistic meaning but encloses a powerful vibration which attunes you to the primordial energy from which the grahas originate: the female energy, Śakti.

Content: Nithyananda means Eternal Bliss and invokes the truth which is our true nature, and the nature of our own intelligence. It is the pūrṇa mūla mantra (the complete mantra) because it represents a straight path to both Śakti (success in this world) and to Śiva (success in the cosmic world) which is ‘enlightenment’.

Content: Moon in Sagittarius

Section: Moon in Sagittarius

Content: Namaha means 'I surrender' my ego to Existence, to the Master. Thus this sacred mantra awakens the completeness and fulfillment inside us and balances the male and female energies which exist inside every one of us.

Content: The repetition of this mantra is a powerful technique which can be performed throughout the day as you go about your daily routine. It can also be uttered aloud 108 times every morning. The number 108, which is a multiple of 9, has been sacred since time immemorial. That is because the number 9 is the limit of all numbers: 0 to 9 is all one needs to make up an infinite amount of numbers. Therefore, 108 symbolizes and connects you to infinity.

Content: Its beautiful sound should be pronounced clearly and as loudly as possible and from the navel region.

Content: Eventually, this mantra will replace your inner chatter and create silence in your mind. Your whole being integrates itself towards enlightenment which leads you out of the dynamic of karma and planetary effects.

Section: Five Techniques for a Sagittarius Mind

Content: Be aware! If there is no bliss in your life, it means you are fast asleep. Don't make any direct effort to become blissful: nobody can succeed in that because bliss is a by-product. You cannot achieve bliss directly. You have to go via awareness. If you feel you are miserable, that simply shows one thing: it is an indication that you are unaware. So become more aware, become more meditative. As meditation deepens, misery disperses and the same energy that becomes misery becomes bliss. All that is needed is the process of awareness; it transforms energy by its nature itself.

Before anticipating negative scenarios about what has become inevitable, stop and dive into faith. Never forget you have it, and because you have it, nothing is impossible. Either you doubt and make it difficult, or you trust and open up to miracles. Stand up! You show your confidence through example, and your example makes a difference. Whatever you learn spiritually is giving you strength today to stand up even in your commercial activities and business negotiations. It is a time to get along with everyone and start fresh contacts with people who will help you on this level. Take some free time with your family, extended family, and others. They will be a very valuable support to the growth that happens inside and outside.

Content: inner connection with the Master, which is the ground on which you are standing today. Intensity is what you need Intensity is what you need: in spiritual understanding, in what you call external world, as a lifestyle! Intensity in the inner world is spiritual intensity, a longing to grow and to transform. Intensity in the outer world is what you need to change situations that have been bothering you for a long time. Now, you cannot bare these situations anymore, and this awakens a strong urge to improve yourself. This brings you the strength to go to any extent to shift your problems. When you are intense, you have freedom to create your destiny. You can actually even change your body with your intensity. Understand that whatever bondage you have comes from the past decisions that created it. You can break free of it!

Gratitude is the ultimate prayer that can bring us more than we can imagine. Real prayer is not reading prayer books, it is not offering material things to god, it is not donating money to temples; it is deep and silent gratitude to the whole of Existence for being what it is. It is the undaunted trust that Existence is taking care. Prayer is a celebration of the benevolence of Existence. When our prayer is this way, Existence responds. When Existence responds, it comes to you as more benevolence in your life. This is the virtuous cycle of prayer and blessing.
