◦ Astrology Lesson 1  
◦ Astrology Lesson 2 Spiritual Qualities of Planets
◦ Astrology Model India which is the land of the origin of four of the seven world
religions, Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism and Sikhism and has the most
Exercise 1 efficacious and numerous sadhanas (spiritual practices), has also given
◦ Astrology Lesson 3 to the world the yoga system which is popular all over the world. Very
◦ Model Exercise 2 few astrologers know that Hindu astrology is the most developed
spiritual astrology which is somehow, till now, kept as a great secret
◦ Astrology Lesson 4 with the saints of India. Yet in some books of astrology, which is a
◦ Astrology Lesson 5 different branch of astrology than the one being discussed here, there
◦ Astrology Lesson 6 are many more hints about the spiritual side of human personality.
◦ Astrology Lesson 7 Yet rarely people in India go to astrologer to ask questions about their
spiritual life for a very excellent reason. The people of India have the
◦ Astrology Lesson 8 supreme advantage of learning their spiritual lessons, first at home
◦ Astrology Lesson 9 from the elders in childhood, later they seek the guidance of some
◦ Astrology Lesson spiritual person, saints, yogis, gurus and other holy persons. Then they
have the supreme advantage of reading such rare spiritual literatures, in
10 the Ramayan, the Mahabharata and the Puranas that they get most of
◦ Astrology Lesson the answers to their spiritual questions from these books.
11 My experience in U.S.A. and with people from the west coming to
◦ Astrology Lesson consult me in India has been that they seek answers which are
12 sometimes quite ticklish because they have got interested in spiritual
practices and, have rarely been in so advantageous position as Indians
◦ Astrology Lesson have of getting spiritual guidance form so many sources and so many
13 persons.
◦ Astrology Lesson To fulfill that need in discussing the nature of planets it becomes
14 necessary to start with the spiritual qualities of planets. What is being
listed below is not exhaustive but is sound enough for practical use by
◦ Dhan Yoga
astrologer and lovers of astrology. An exhaustive list has been added to
Illustrations the book at the end.
◦ Astrology Lesson What spiritual qualities each planet (the nine we are using) represents is
15 being given briefly.
◦ Arishta Illustrations Sun – The Sun, lord of our solar system, has been identified in some
◦ Astrology Lesson Sanskrit stotras  as Lord Vishnu but generally, it is with Lord Shiva
16 that he is identified. It does not matter which of the Trinity he
◦ Rajayoga represents. The important point to remember is that he awakens the
thirst for spiritual life, blesses one with divine knowledge, described
Illustrations
as Gyana  , which is why he has been described as Atmakaraka also (in
◦ Astrology Lesson Jaimini astrology where a planet with the highest degree becomes the
17 Atmakaraka). Therefore, Sun is associated with philanthropic
◦ Astrology Lesson tendencies and has a Sattwick nature.
18 Moon – If the Sun is the atma (soul), the Moon is the Manas or the
◦ Astrology Lesson mind. Mental qualities are represented by the Moon. It is the mind that
creates the feeling of happiness or unhappiness. A mind that is under
19
control is a mind that develops powers of concentration and meditation.
◦ Astrology Lesson A Moon afflicted by Saturn and Mars creates strong feelings of
21 detachment or vairagya . In the horoscopes of great yogis and saints
◦ Astrology Lesson this combination is generally seen. I have referred to many such
22 horoscopes in my books, particularly,    in the Yogis, Destiny and the
◦ Astrology Lesson Wheel of Time. Pure spiritual tendencies, love to go to sacred धार्मिक
23 places, worshipping Goddess, kindness, soft and tender feelings born of
Sattwick nature are associated with the Moon. It is for this reason that a
◦ Astrology Lesson strong, exalted or vargottama Moon has always been praised.

Mercury generally causes the undertaking of pilgrimages but not for a

Mercury being a ritualist, attraction for mantras   and Yantras is a well
known tendency released by Mercury. He represents Atharva Veda
Jupiter – An astrologer will be a poor predictor if Jupiter and
Mercury are not good in his horoscope. The house of speech, the
second house, getting associated with Jupiter through position or aspect
छवि shows gifts of prophecy भविष्यवाणी, unless the second house or
the second lord are bad otherwise. It also makes one a good preacher
उपदे शक. A preacher has to have knowledge of scriptures supported by
personal spiritual experience. Jupiter represents the quintessence तत्त्व
of dharma . The finer aspects of divine knowledge and spiritual
practices like penances तपस्या, worship of god, doing of charity are
commonly associated with Jupiter. Varahamihira has praised the
position of Jupiter in the 10th house. Being a strict moralist, Jupiter
motivates one to be ethical in conduct. Since Jupiter represents Lord
Shiva, a Jupiter-dominated श्रेष्ठ होना person does not mind making
sacrifices त्याग for true religious and spiritual causes.
Venus  – Traditionally, the Guru of Asuras, Venus is a learned
religious person. Venusian traits can be showy. One may develop the
tendency to turn his religious zeal जोश into piety धार्मिकता. I have
seen hundreds of horoscopes of men and women with Venus in the
10th house becoming more showy than sincere in spiritual pursuits
लक्ष्य. Perhaps, distractions विघ्न in their lives, caused by Venus are
many. Among Vedas, Venus represent Yajur-Veda. The likeable and
admirable side of Venus is love for religious songs, love to decorate
religious places and compose music for, particularly female goddesses.
Saturn – Saturn described as the planet of misery is a
totally fallacious statement. Without a favourable Saturn in
the birth horoscope and in transit one can never develop
deep detachment अनासक्ति. Saturn represents self-
abnegation, tyaga. It is tyaga and Gyana that become real
strong foundation for spiritual life. A weak Saturn has been
seen to attract a sadhak, if there is also afflicted Moon,
attraction towards inferior deities.
Rahu – Rahu has been praised by Ramanujacharya for dips
in the Ganga and going to pilgrimages because he is an
extrovert, unlike Ketu, who makes one an introvert. Rahu
impels one to take to religious and spiritual practices many
times in a rather unconventional way and, can cause
attraction for non-conventional religious approach.
Ketu – It is difficult to decide who between Jupiter and
Ketu is a better salvation-giver. Yet, Ketu has been called
the salvation-giver because he is the embodiment of
subtlest divine secrets. Ketu in the twelfth has been praised.
Ketu always attracts one towards seclusion, observance
of mouna the vow of silence.
The Dasha Avatara
There is one and only one God as the great Narayana
Kavacham in the Srimad Bhagvatam emphsises. The Lord,
being playful, assumes many shapes, foms always. He
adorns himself with various weapons.
The Brihat Parashara Shatra, world’s greatest astrological
classic, refers to the nine incarnations of God about which
we know and also refers to the tenth Incarnation as God
 Kalki. They are –

Moon            Lord Krishna
Mars             Lord Narasimha
