Sun, a star, the most brilliant in its own accord is the soul of the system caller the solar system. In humane nature it controls ‘the soul’. The souls is what knows whats best for the mind and the body. To keep in touch with the soul the god made mercury, the messenger of soul and the direct ruler of thought, to stay not more than 28 degrees away from sun. the beauty (venus) of life lies very close to the messages (mercury) of the soul (sun). when we comprehend and allow to feel (moon) the first three to act upon us (earth) what follows next, our actions (mars), are always correct. But often we do(mars) and feel (moon) before we think (mercury). That’s where the touble starts.

In neuroscience, we feel from the amygdala and think from the neurocortex. The brains signal carriers are designed to carry signal faster to the amygdale than the neorucortex. So we often base out actions on what we feel rather than what we think.

Mars is so implusive and selfish for its own action that it doesnot wait for mercury to think. It tries to even dominate what we feel (and thus take over moon’s teritory). Thus the foremost malefic of Indian astrology.

Mars does not know what it does. It simply wants to do. Go, bad or ugly… just do it. Sun feels exalted in the house of action (Aries). Sun is ego… I am! Mars is action… there fore I can! The soul tries to expand thought action and forgets about something called thought. Mercury says… I think therefore I am and thus I can. When the individual relies completely on thoughtless (mercury less) action (mars) is when things go wrong.

Mars go overboard, sun feels its all ok. It exploits Venus… love, sex, beauty and luxury. It tries to attain all this by action (war).

At first the human is never aware of what his soul (sun) is and how wide his rays are spread. We tend to think that our scope is limited and go beyond our boundaries to spread ourselves. We indulge in other’s business and feel we are the only star in the universe (Leo, [no direct reference to anyone]).

It dominates over the time how we feel simply because what we do is what we see and hear and not what we think (thus mars and mercury become enemies). It is the most powerful interpersonal planet coloring everything it can without other’s consent. Super ego!

Moon has no business thinking or doing. All it knows is feeling. Innocent mother just feed the child with the knowledge she is made to feel is right. But the reality is we can directly control what we feel. Moon does not like this type of direct control and thus feels fallen in Scorpio.

Mars was never an interpersonal planet. It was a friend god of sun and Jupiter and never a part of the mythological family where from Sun to Pluto all were blood relatives. It has its own child like innocence and thus the sun defends it.

When these interpersonal planets go haywire the administrators come into action.

Jupiter watches everything. It perceives the entire system and compares it with the higher understanding of the universe, the higher self. It can see there are other stars (individuals) in the universe too. Jupiter knows we co-exist. Being the preacher that he is, he summons the interpersonal operators into heaven. It teaches them what’s right and what’s wrong through lecture and visionary insight. It gives mars a cause to act and mercury some food for thought. Being the only planet in the solar system that can radiate light like the sun, it understands exactly what the soul (sun) needs. But Jupiter is indulgent himself. So an evolved Jupiter never takes it al to himself and preaches in a learning is fun way. He does warn them of his neutral counterpart Saturn and what Shiva has allowed him to do once in a while when the basic roots of the individuals go wrong… “to root them off”! Once the preaching is done he leaves the interpersonal planets to their own self and leaves it on karma (Saturn) to decide the fate of the individual. Saturn is neutral to Jupiter and the same act is reciprocated.

The task master then comes into action when Jupiter, the all benefic, is taken granted for. He says to it that the individual learns how things should be and what he should be doing. Going overboard is not in the likes of Saturn, something that mars loves. So mars and Saturn turn enemies. But Saturn knows what Jupiter possibility Jupiter can see in an evolved individual. So it shows complete patients with mars. Its shows the individual how falling pray to thoughtless action can make a person selfish. Saturn makes the individual go through a hard time making him come to terms with his ego. He hates ego. The task master takes Jupiter’s words ‘we co-exist’ into account and makes it his religion. Thus he feels exalted when maturity sets in him at 20 degrees in social, inter dependant and balanced Libra.

Mars mayfind Saturn his enemy and even turns ego driven sun against him but by the end of his journey in Capricorn at about 29 degrees in ripe old age he realizes that Saturn is his best friend in disguise and this feels exalted.

When Saturn goes super cold with his control and lack of ideas Jupiter feels suffocated in his house Capricorn. But for all its fine legacy and high thinking, it still commits itself to do good (perhaps the only thing that Jupiter commits to!) and thus even a fallen jupiter in Capricorn does good in little ways.

Thus relieves his most disciplined and enlightened disciple to do not what he was trying to stop others from doing… go over board!

Thus volatile and often easily forgotten ideas of Jupiter get a solid ground (Saturn) to stay and be explored by the interpersonal planets. And Saturn gets what’s he loves most… putting ideas into ‘practice’ from Jupiter.

Together, these planets and the sun and moon finish the role of an individual in life. Jupiter is placed in the middle to explain in the ‘right’ way to the workhorses (interpersonal planets) as to what to do on one side and to explore the unknown on the other.

The universe is a matrix. What is the matrix? It is simply an interwoven web with no beginning and no end, with no boundaries. It is spun by the all mighty himself. It is like jelly which can never have a definite shape. New things are constantly explored in this matrix called universe from the immediate around you to the very distant. In this universe we make everything work for us and in turn work for everything else, Symbiosis. Man himself is a universe on his own. He makes the living self work for him and works himself for the survival of the living cells. The matrix is not something to liberate or detach from. It is there outside you, inside you… it is you! It is just to be perceived in order to feel (moon), think(mercury) and do(mars) the right way the right way.

When the self is explored and complete, when the individual is evolved, something new is to be found outside at a transpersonal level now. The receptive Jupiter turns its arrows of wisdom from possible negative doer antares (‘like mars’) to the other side of the universe. From transitive it becomes receptive. Then the transpersonal planets come into action for the ‘unexplained’.

New ideas, scientific thoughts, inventions, discoveries are all sought after by it. Its arrows, like wild fire, are shot in all directions and it waits restlessly for them to boomerang back. And what goes around, comes around. The transpersonal Uranus sends back vibes in the form of flashes of genius. A possibility Jupiter explores from this flashes of genius, electric lightinings are shot at the amygdale (moon) which could make a person feel (moon again) he is in a state of ultimate discovery and realization about something that was only know to ‘be there’ so far. The galaxies, planets, black holes, various new things in the world of electronics and computers are all passed on by the greatest decipherer of the universal matrix, Uranus, to Jupiter.

The preaching begins. Mercury thinking of the practical possibilities, moon feels the effect of it. Venus sees how it can bring ease and comfort to the individuals life. From discovery of fire and corn to invention of space rocket and aero planes, all was done for the comfort of mankind. The evolved soul (sun) feels the best effect of this. Saturn than structures out the possibility and decides a concrete path which mars follows. Remember, mars feels exalted in Saturn’s house when he is almost done.

New and new possibilities are explored by Jupiter’s insight into the future thanks to the flashes of genius that Uranus brings. The society is at large affected by these individual discoveries. The evolved and the unevolved… all benefit. The evolved soul passes away in time towards immortality (Christ, Krishna, Buddha, Mahavira, Prophet Mohamed, and others) setting a trail for everyone to follow. Based on personal natal charts not everyone can seize this opportunity for irony is a quality of time and the show must go on.

As time passes yesterday’s discovery becomes today’s reality. As I said, irony is very much a part of life. And the irony is that unevolved souls take on the leadership path set forward by evolved souls. Never have any great above mentioned souls said they want a band of followers of institutional religion.

Not only with religion but with any kind of mindset that refuses to be receptive… goes stale. The matrix called universe has positive and negative vibes alike. If Uranus is bringing flashes of genius, Neptune is bringing illusion and false realities. They both collide. The ‘trying to evolve’ soul looks for new ideas and welcomes winds of change but the unevolved and dogmatic sees the illusionary reality as correct and sticks to it.

These vibes from Neptune are not negative alone. They are also a dreams, an essential part of an individuals life which solves many problems. It does not give us illusions. It just puts the mixed vision forward and leaves it on us to decipher it. Uranus the planet of ‘new’ makes the wannabes to decipher it but it is incomplete on a grand scale without a time keeper.

Time keeper… someone who from time to time keeps alive the actual way time has put forward for you in the path of evolution.

In Indian mythology, the Garuda (eagle), of shiva was cursed by a sage for some reason. He was cursed to eat flesh and kill lives, something from which the garuda had medidated (to Shiva) and evolved from. In Shiva’s respect, Brahma (or Brihaspati symbol of Jupiter) decided to keep the garuda with him and made him eat flesh of only already dead animals and those of the demons. Thus Pluto’s eagle and other ‘scavengers’ and birds of prey keep the ‘old’ out of the way and are thus ‘time keepers’.

Younger brother/sister of Jupiter, Pluto is the ultimate it gets in reality. For when it breaks into Neptune’s orbit it makes an entire generation know what the reality is. Don’t think it does it at a grand level like Jupiter. No. they have different rules.

Jupiter’s rule is ‘live and let live’ and so can come out clean through any mess. An individual with strong Jupiter almost never has to worry about getting into a mess. The eagle, symbol of Pluto is always next to Jupiter’s (Zeus) throne. And lightning (Uranus… new thoughts) are always in the hand of Jupiter. Thus he is given heavens where he can rest, laugh and enjoy with the evolved immortals.

For the unevolved and insoluble possers comes the time keepes. Who possed him/her self as the ultimate bad time itself to these individuals. Destroys the very foundations of their ego (their unevolved sun). for his rule is one golden rule…’No rules!’. Pluto, after breaking in the mind of the individual starts ruthless destruction. Don’t think it is like the eye candy fights they show it in movies, especially ‘the matrix’. It is the subtlest possible action and reaction mechanism. It is the most organized and disciplined form of destruction. But when we see it it seems to explode like a bomb! Pluto is not the bomb that exploded. That was our very reaction to out own psyche. Pluto was the one who detonated it.

It is the ultimate power… for it is ‘zero’ power! Cause what goes around, comes around. And in the process of transforming you he transforms himself and thus keeps up with… TIME!
