How You're Weakening Your Planets & Birth Chart Unknowingly Part 1

God is great, God is beautiful.

“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.”

avatar the last airbender & the nodes 🀄️ ☼｡˚❀ * ꕤ

one of my fav childhood cartoons of all time! i think this scene is great for understanding the nodes

zuko here represents rahu / the north node. aang represents ketu / south node. they both merge to be understood as destiny and fate ~ zuko is obsessed with his destiny for the entire duration of the show, and aang’s spirit is intertwined with his destiny as he is reincarnated as the avatar

zuko is of a greedy colonial empire that has genocided, forcefully displaced, colonized, and more. he was obsessed with his destiny, but his obsession distorted his perception of what his destiny actually was. does that not sound like the ravenous north node?

aang is from a nomadic and spiritual monk group, but he was permanently severed from his people after they were genocided. he, as the avatar, also is obligated to reincarnate to bring balance in the world. and him being an air nomad shows that there’s still a disconnect he has to have from the world in order to fulfill his avatar duties. does that not sound like the detached south node? ( edit: especially with the 100% bald head )

fate brought them together. zuko is the descendant of aang’s past carnation. which makes them spiritually linked. they aren’t separate from each other, but instead, two sides of one coin. and they later become some of the closest people in gaang 🖤 especially because fate would have it that zuko ~ being blood of aang’s past life and the blood of the one who genocided aang’s people ~ is who destiny decided would teach aang firebending

aang was terrified of firebending because of his wound relating to fire: the fire nation killed his entire people, and when he learned to bend it, he hurt katara. he swore to never bend it again. after all, he had only known fire to be destructive

but his reluctance to use firebending showed that he was too attached to worldly constructs and concepts. so much that it interfered with his ability to fulfill his duty as avatar. not as the last airbender, but as the avatar. fate would have it that aang would have to learn bending from the one descended from his genociders. and to do that, he had to detach. thus, fulfilling his role as ketu / avatar

they also had to detach from their own world to do this and travel to a land that mirrors pre-colonial mesoamerican natives. where the sun and dragons are respected for how they gave and mastered fire. and from that, aang learns fire isn’t death. fire is life.

same can be said for zuko to fulfill his role as rahu. but together, they were unstoppable. this show is wonderful and if u look at it from a vedic or traditional astrological perspective, u get so much enlightenment!

Let's design your room with astrology

Bharani edition

Bharani is the 2nd nakshatra ruled by venus and mars (Aries) this gives the native activeness and agility the value of crossing thresholds , as environment effects us a lot certain colours and elements will bring forth the energy in the most beneficial way .

I absolutely am not imposing any of these on you. You don't need a drastic change okay ! All of this is based on my understanding so discern while considering

In the bigger picture entire chart matters so if you do need a longer paid reading about an object or element or colours you can dm me .

Paid readings , masterlist

1. Colours :

The colour of bharani is blood red however I would suggested a mutated red for your room as a deep red wall can be over powering , red stands for strength and passion , it gives you a hold on your root chakra , root chakra is essential to help to be stable and take well rounded decisions a very lesser known fact is that a strong root chakra protects from most diseases and brings clarity and groundness.

Apart from red colour , red bedsheets or carpets can also play a part in embodying the regal energy of bharani .

Let's study some colour combinations : (pair with walls , bedsheets , carpets , furniture )

Red + white : a mixture of rajas and satva will help you stay balanced and control when passion is undirected or ego driven

Red+ brown : a good combination when you're spiritual , as it will lead you towards ketu and natural talents if you're not spiritual this might make you withhold anger.

Red+black : very potent for gym environments not for sleeping , might make you agitated

Red+green: hearty energy with give a sense of peace and passion

Red+pink : romantic and passionate energy

Red+blue: will make you see truth in a more profound way , may make you speak up more on social matters

2. Elements :

Bharani has rajas guna so any gym equipments, sporty stuff , photos of sportspersons , dancers , Nataraj statue , ballet shoes etc are sure to inspire you for more agility To have a control over the natural ugra quality of bharani satvic elements help like photos of waterfall , dim lights, white candles , mogra , Jasmine etc scented diffusers As bharani is neighter an active nor passive but balanced so a balance in the room as well will make you feel ecstatic

Being an Artha motivated nakshatra, vision boards on wall , medels and trophies as decoration, inspirational quotes on wall , anything related to manifestation will help you . Bharani falling in the gotta of Vashistha is a posessor of wealth so expensive things which you have earned rightfully and with hardwork will bring you more success. The element of bharani is earth so wood furniture , clay decorations, stones are also great for you , even nature imagery or earthy photographs

3. Elephant , peacock , Amla

Are the animal , bird and tree of bharani respectively, elephant associated with memory understanding and mobility; peacock with grace , passion and beauty ; Amla with prosperity, health and wealth. Any type of art , statue or photography with these will add up to the energy of bharani nourishment .

4. Extras

Associated with goddess Kali so her art will bring fortune , also associated with Vishnu so elements like his art , tulsi , peacock feather will also bring happiness.

Thank you for reading ❤️

Vedic astrology observations

Part 7

Feminine archetype and appearance focused

Preface

In general, yoni animals of big three(especially moon's) nakshatras play a huge role in how a person looks and what they embody. Two people who share one or more yoni animals in big three might look similar, even if all the nakshatras are different. Also, for example, if someone has Uttara Phalguni in big three, and another person has Krittika or Uttara Ashadha(other two sun nakshatras) and Uttara Bhadrapada(U.Phalguni's yoni match), then they will likely have similar appearances and nature too. Both of have them have a Sun nakshatra and a Cow yoni nakshatra in big three. This is one of the interesting ways to look at the bigger picture while interpreting.

Bharani girls/women look divine in high fantasy/period(especially medieval)/mythical inspired looks. Long hair, headbands/diadems, low contrast/ethereal coloring, dresses that show the body/skin but don't hug it tightly, flowy fabrics. Unique pieces in general are best for them. They should avoid modern trends that are too constricting and structured. Their faces tend to have a unique beauty too so they should think outside of what's generic to see their own true essence. Also, their eyes are usually the best part of their face, they have a look of anticipation, innocence and fire in them. Makeup should be serving that beauty of their eyes, and their lips have a unique shape too, the sides of it are pulled downwards, but they're rarely too thick. Too much makeup in general is detrimental to them. They should not be afraid to appear delicate. Everything about how Bharani women should be styled must be focused on embracing and nurturing their natural beauty. They really should not try too hard. Looks should fit the person, not the other way around, that is true for everyone but especially for Bharani girls/women.

Pushya, Uttara Phalguni, Uttara Bhadrapada, Revati(?), Krittika, Rohini and Mrigashira might feel good/look good in a "milkmaid" look/aesthetic. What's interesting is that all of these nakshatras are associated with cows. The first three nakshatras listed might embody that aesthetic more. One of Pushya's symbols is the cow udder, so is Revati's. Pushya's fully in Cancer, and has associations with milk and nurturing. Saturn has associations with agriculture. Uttara Bhadrapada is another Saturn ruled nakshatra and its yoni animal is the cow, although it might lean towards more etheral looks than the sheep/goat yoni Pushya, due to it being in Pisces. Uttara Phalguni's milkmaid look might be more earthy. Mrigashira and Rohini can sometimes wear this look, due to them being in Taurus. Three fourths of Krittika is also in Taurus, and it's another goat/sheep yoni nakshatra that has associations with nurturing, but not as much as Pushya.

^^ To expand on the Cow yonis from above, they look really good with braids(so does Mrigashira but for different reasons). Cow yonis should lean into "traditional",natural clothing. That really allows them to show their femininity. They look really good with their hair down and with clothes that are comfortable. Like, they might look the best with a hoodie or a simple jacket and slightly discheveled hair. Big ballgowns also look amazing on them, as well as regal attire. They also might wear/incorporate elements that has personal significance to them, usually in relation to their close loved ones/family/community, a family heirloom or something that shows where their loyalty lies. (Please tell me this makes sense)

Cat yonis usually have medium to high contrast coloring, especially Ashlesha. Eyeliner looks divine on them, so does lipstick, usually with a rich red or pink color. Punarvasu might look ethereal and perfect in softer shades though too. They're the ones from the two more likely to have low constrast in coloring. I'd say if Punarvasu is light pink, Ashlesha is red. Punarvasus also have mixed/warmer tones than Ashlesha. They both might look good in Silver but Punarvasus should also try wearing gold(Jupiter's color). Punarvasu might look amazing with no lipstick at all too, but lip gloss or moisturizer is still desirable. They both also usually have really nice skin. If not, taking care of its health might really transform their appearance. Lastly, I think these two nakshatras look better if they feel a certain sense of control over their lives😅😭 hear me out. Like how Cats usually bathe themselves(but still smell nice???😭) and have a private, sort of weird and adorable "self-care" routine, these women approach everything in a careful, gradual but determined way, and I think that they need to settle into certain ways of taking care of presenting themselves. They need to feel a sense of safety and assuredenss in it on some level. They need to feel neat and tidy.

Rat yonis on the other hand have low to medium contrast. Purva Phalguni might have lower constrast than Magha. They look best in gold rather than silver. Purva Phalguni is one of the nakshatras that can benefit from having and sticking to staple looks/pieces, so they should not be afraid to do that. Similar to Bharani, they should avoid excess makeup too, but if they truly enjoy something, no matter how camp it seems, then they should go for it, with some discernment. Overly controlled looks are also not the best for them. Maghas usually have bold/noticable hair and they should lean into it. Usually these people don't fuss about appearance in details, but rather go for big statement pieces, like a big gold bracelet or chuncky earrings.

Tiger yonis, unlike cow yonis, will benefit from trends/structured and modern looks. Chitra especially is the nakshatra that likes to fit into certain aesthetics, but I'd advise them to avoid natural looking clothes that fit Cow yonis so well. Instead they should go for tight tops, shorts, tighter dresses, punk rock, fitted garments. If Cow yonis look good in big ballgowns, Tiger Yonis should go for formal dresses that are not flared but still look classic. Vishkhas should wear smudged eyeliner(my opinion lol). A little intensity and fierceness looks really good on Vishakhas but they should avoid excess otherwise like plague. Chitras might have a liscence to overaccessorize sometimes but Vishakhas do not. Also, Chitras can lean into softer/coquettish aesthetics but Vishakhas should aim for something more simple but intense and fierce, and they should not be afraid to mix feminine and masculine elements.

Jyeshta women have a very specific look. Their eyes are rich and intense, usually brows and eyelashes help with the intensity. These women might look really good with earrings, especially round-shaped ones, or a round necklace, given that Jyeshta's symbol is a round talisman. Their eyes are deep and piercing, but not really sharp, their shape could be soft. They could also have doe eyes but the ones that have intelligence, wisdom and worldly depth reflected in them. Dark hair flatters these women a lot, especially if they have Jyeshta moon or ascendant, but that's not a rule. Overall their look is intense, mercurial but regal. Their image should showcase their integrity. Any clothing that seems a little too frivolous or childish is not for them. They could find that they enjoy wearing quality but comfortable pieces that look simple. They can definitely play around with style though, given that they're a Mercury nakshatra, and can look good in something more "excessive". However, I've noticed that, even then, Jyeshta women still prioritize minimalism on some level. If they wear something more "out there" it must be once in a while, just to symbolically display their power. A lot of the times their most excessive outfits are not that excessive to others.

Punarvasu might be another nakshatra that makes its female natives look good in longer dresses. It's a very feminine nakshatra, despite being ruled by a masculine planet. Generally, cat yonis have distinctive faces. Punarvasu, being the soft one out of those two nakshatras, as well as having connection to spirituality and "godhood", influences appearance in a very unique way. These women might benefit from wearing long, soft, flowly garments that cover the body, maybe even a cape or a veil pulled backwards, but the face should be visible. It gives a "divine", "goddess-like", supernatural element to their appearance, which is true to their essence.

Vanar yonis are another pair of nakshatras that are more ethereal looking. They should avoid compact/structured garments and should not be afraid to wear anything oversized, within reason. Shravanas generally tend to be a little longer and slimmer, due to it being in the Saturn-ruled Capricorn, but they don't have the Venusian fierce, Aphrodite look that Purva Ashadhas have. Instead, they're smoother and colder, almost too subdued/neutral than their yoni consorts. Purva Ashadhas can have a more robust bone structure and look "healthier", but their etheriality can have an "earthly"/material element to it unlike Shravana, if that makes sense. This is also the yoni type that can get away with wearing anything weird: the type of choices that make you scratch you head and think "why would anyone go for this" but they somehow look fine and sometimes even good on them. This applies to Shravanas more. Quirky makes them look and feel good. Vanar means "being from other dimensions". According to vedic, they live in forests. Their yoni animal is literally not an actual common "animal" as most think of them, although "Vanar" has been interpreted as "Monkey". It's not inaccurate exactly, since these natives usually do have slightly protruding ears(like elephant yonis) but I think tossing out the origin of the word leaves out an important association.
