“A Ladder Appeared To Jacob In A Dream, "and The Top Of It Reached To Heaven: And The Angels Of God

“A ladder appeared to Jacob in a dream, "and the top of it reached to heaven: and the angels of God were going up and down on it". (Genesis 28, 12)

For Blake, the image of Jacob's Ladder as a gate to heaven was closely allied to the anatomy of the ear, whose passages he calls “The endlessly twisting spiral ascending to the Heaven of Heavens.”

According to Swedenborg, with whose writings Blake was familiar, the "opening of the inner ear" is the precondition for making contact with the higher worlds.”

Exaltation Series: Moon in Krittika

Exaltation Series: Moon In Krittika

An exalted planet means this planet has reached the higher point in its own sky. There, the planet feels free to unleash its power for better... Or worse. The sign where the planet is exalted allows the planet to flourish, as well as the nakshatra where the exaltation degree falls.

Moon Exalted in Krittika

Moon gets exalted at 3° of Taurus which is situated in Krittika nakshatra (Krittika: 26°40 Aries to 10°00 Taurus). Here, the Moon is full of soma, the nectar of immortality. Full of vitality, the Moon has reached an uncommon well-being, which leads to a tremendous charisma and, most importantly, a high dose of desires. Charisma and desires are typical traits of Krittika. Its point of exaltation being in the Taurus part of Krittika, this huge amount of inflamed desires is not perceptible at first. Taurus Krittika natives, especially those with the Moon placed there, will not show the openly Aries-type aggressive and passionate nature of Krittika at first but instead, they will show gentleness, politeness and diplomacy. The Moon full of soma does not need to be violent to get what it wants because the Moon feels SO good. Nothing can resist this charming and attractive Moon here. Krittika is ruled by Agni, the God of fire that sustains life, vitality, health. But Agni is also known for his huge appetite. He possesses 7 tongues and he eats the offerings of the mortals to the Gods. Moon's desires get amplified: love of the material world and luxuries get exacerbated. However, Agni is also the messenger to the Gods hence having two heads, one that looks at the world down there and the heavenly realms. Moon exalted here can offer to the natives a spiritual impulse depending on the rest of the chart. It also shows their capability to adapt themselves in different environments and their ability to communicate well. The Moon is the Queen of your chart, she needs to be surrounded by people and she knows how to gently adapt herself. The interesting part of Krittika is the other co-ruler, who is Kartikeya. Kartikeya has a link with Agni as Agni acted as the incubator during his conception. Kartikeya was not born as a child but as a warrior. He did not wait long to lead the armies to fight powerful enemies. The Moon's emotional strength has reached its peak in Krittika and nothing can stop them: the natives are secretly endowed with a warrior nature. The Moon does not like to be disturbed, the Moon wants peace: the Queen will find associates to get rid of those who dare upset her as well as her loved ones. Agni is fire; Moon is water: Moon's point of exaltation shows the mysterious intimate link between fire and water. The Agnichayana ritual involves a huge fire that brings rain; Kartikeya's conception was supported by both Agni the fire and the waters of Ganges. When the exalted Moon gets afflicted, it ignores the ethics. The desires come before everything else. Agni did not hesitate to pretend to be someone else to seduce the wives of a sage... Self-centeredness of a strong and afflicted exalted Moon can lead to overconfidence. Overconfidence leads to thoughtless actions and multiple disasters. Weak exalted Moon natives (waning Moon) will think twice before taking action and they might feel they are not self-confident enough though. Weak or strong exalted Moon in Krittika natives may deal with phobias, mental health issues and impatience. The queen can quickly feel frustrated and jealous, so, do not bother her... Otherwise, you will be surprised!

Nakshatras and their Shakti pt 1

Nakshatras And Their Shakti Pt 1
Nakshatras And Their Shakti Pt 1

What is Shakti?

Shakti translates to power in english , in the abode of stars each nakshatra is a blessed with a power that's inherent to them , the power in this sector can be channeled as a divine guiding force for a beautiful fruitful life . Check for your moon , sun and your Atmakraka ( planet in the highest degree ) .

Like , reblogs and comments are highly appreciated. Dm me if you wanna book an astrology or a tarot reading .

I will make a part two if this post reaches enough hehe

Nakshatras And Their Shakti Pt 1

Ashwini

Shidravyapani Shakti

Power to quickly attain ones motives or wishes , this applies in the sector of motivation and manifestation, Ashwini starts off as the sign with the most healing abilities guided by the Ashwin twins, being in the Ashwini Nakshatra your thoughts manifest being it good or bad , one has to practice discernment to thoroughly gain from this shakti , go for all the things that excite you and feel your true desires as the start of attaining something is to belive it's already yours. One in this Nakshatra can attain health and let go of disease just by commanding it feeling it. Residing in the mantra realm of Akarshan.

Bharani

Apabharani shakti

Power to take something away , let go of something one has . Bharani as in Atharvaveda is considered as the last nakshatra , as the nakshatra of letting go of the body. One in this Nakshatra holds the power to take things that they want for themselves as well as letting go of what they don't want, this commands as an equal force of give and take a say a power in both the sectors , in Ashwini one could see the power to attain but in Bharani one has the power to let go , let go of disease , poverty , negative thinking .

Krittika

Dahana shakti

The act of burning and purifying , in hinduism fire is considered as an element of purification being it in a yagya or after death rituals, krittika with this shakti acts a Phoenix, this shakti gives krittika natives the power to destroy themselves to purify themselves, reaching the depths of their soul or rock bottom to rise above it , it's getting closer to ones rebirth . A very easy ritual for krittika natives is to write what they wanna let go of and burn it so that the fires may take away your pain, a prayer to the fire liberates . This shakti also gives you the power to bring change in the lives of the people around you , like the very strict teacher who ultimately leads to the growth of a student.

Rohini

Rohana shakti

The power of creation and the gift of fertility. After krittika burns and purifies Rohini makes the land fertile for growth. This shakti bestows the native a power of creativity and bringing their imagination to life , this is the first nakshatra of control as you're the creatrix , this Nakshatra gives the native the art and knowledge of saving and combining things and an eye for the bigger picture the patience the abilities that a perfect thing takes to develop . Masters of the process .

Mrigashira

Prinana shakti

The shakti of satisfaction and fulfillment. Mrigashira is not always the nakshatra of search its also the nakshatra of finding what one was searching . This shakti gives the native to be fulfilled in whatever endeavour they choose , they also bring a sense of fulfillment in other people's lives , to me mrigashira is a balance of the masculine and feminine the form of Ardhanareshwar . They can do anything cause they embody the ultimate fulfillment in themselves .

Ardra

Yatna Shakti

Yatna stands for effort , trial , this shakti is vast and diverse but what one requires is effort , if the native let's go of laziness one can find almost a meditative form of process to victory . The native has to just start and things fall in the right place . It's like a tortured victory but a victory is a victory the nature doesn't forget the process, it remembers , it remembers the form of Rudra in rage fighting for what belongs to one , the native inspires other people a spirit of fighting for rightes and gaining through the effort .

Punarvasu

Vastutva prapana shakti

The power to gain objectives and wealth , punrvasu is the rehabilitation after the tortured gain of ardra , vastytva prapana shakti bestows the native the power and the knowledge to gain what they want in life through their knowledgeable efforts . The natives act as the people who show people how simple being and positive vibration can attract so much in ones life .They can easily attract wealth and materials in their life . The native manifests through embodiment and vision boards .

Pushya

Brahmavarchava shakti

The power to harness creative spiritual energy . In Rohini we saw the start of creativity , in Pushya one harnesses it through themselves and the nature . Pushya is reiki energy , a pushya native enters the room and gives out their energy. They can easily create through their wishes , one of the fastest power in manifestation . The native becomes a beacon of light and nourishment to the people around them.

Ashlesha

Ashleshana shakti

The power to inflict poison and destroy . It's no secret that ashlesha is the most seductive nakshtra , this power bestows the native to destroy the enemy by the virtue of their presence and words no weapons are required they're a friend to a friend and the worst enemy to a enemy, a silent weapon of mystery and power . The natives are like Apsara Tillotama who made Sund and Upasund who killed themselves for her . A process of slow destruction is done by them to the enemy .
