Planetary Magic / Sattva Vijaya Chikitsa

author: Pallace Garza

The key to unlocking the treasures of your birth chart requires a knowledge of planetary powers. We are not simply victims to the swirling asteroids, planets, moons, and everything else that happens in the theatre of our sky. With proper application, intent, and maturity we can strengthen weak planets in our birth chart (Janma Kundli) so that their lessons may reach us without strife. Similary, we can tonify and refine the energies of the planets that make up our more powerful qualities, attributes, or archetypal themes of our lives. This holds true cross-culturally where astrological applications were almost always originally used for ritual and agricultural purposes.

In the same way that people who deny the utility of astrology end up being the people most effected by planetary transits or events, people who know about the dance of the planets but make no preparations for protection or to receive their blessings also fall prey to avoidable suffering. If you wish to be clinical, Sattva Vijaya Chikitsa in Ayurveda is a form of Psychotherapy. The senses are stimulated in the right way, in the right amount in order to ease suffering, reverse a disease process, or unlock creative potential. Those beautiful flowers you put on your Venus altar will also have a profound effect on you as well as your Graha of adoration.

I have prepared a PDF introduction to qualities and attributes that might assist one in constructing an altar, making a petition or talisman, choosing a gemstone, or simply aligning one’s self to feel the core lessons of each planet. It is available here: navagraha.

Navagraha means “the 9 seizers/graspers” in sanskrit. They are the 9 traditional planets, excluding all planets invisible to the ancients: Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, Eris, etc… These 9 help bring the divine energy from the multiverse surrounding us down to our own planet so as to directly influence our physical body. They ‘seize’ our attention and won’t let go until we understand their very potent lessons.

RETROGRADE MOTION

Let’s crack this nut:

  1. RETROGRADE MOTION GIVES SHAKTA//POWER TO THE PLANET
  2. IT WILL ACT AS IF EXALTED (EVEN IN DEBILITATION)  The planet is brighter in the sky and closer to the earth. Thereby influencing us more.
  3. THIS SHOWS POWER NOT EFFECT: Retrograde gives more good than when direct or more bad depending on Gocara (transits) and yogas the planet is involved with.
  4. GOCARA IS KEY TO THE MIND: Planetary transits influence the moon directly and how we perceive what is going on.

graph : all ‘1’ marked Houses are favorable for each planet. Pull up your chart and look below for results of your planetary transits. -Graph by Ernst Wilhelm from astrology-videos.com

GOCHARA or transits from the natal moon is ESSENTIAL to understand how a retrograde planet will effect you immediately. The slower moving planets especially as they accent a sign and house longer.  You can bet your bum that if a retrograde planet is in an unfavorable house you can expect more fantastic difficulties, or rather the perception of difficulties. and in a good house lovely lovely bubbly bubbly times ahead! If a planet has to repeat a theme by going over it again its like a person who is dusting the house, this place is especially dusty and the planet has to put more elbow grease into it! make sense? get it? don’t let your Rasi get dusty.

please look with your eyes at the chart that spells out the transits so easily. Notice all planets do well in the 11th from the moon….i would love for someone to answer why that may be, you will get a gold star. Notice Mars and Saturn do well only in the UPACHAYA houses, don’t know what that is? look it up. anyway these houses are expanding houses that increase with age and mature in a sense…makes sense that maturity is needed to harness a cruel planet, no?

Caffeine-fueled observations to consider:

When things are hard its because the moon feels the planets movements around him and there is some friction of the planetary agendas. Lord Chandra Dev feels very deeply that is his beauty, so of course we consider the Graha representing the Mind and Perception of the Reflected Reality. FOR EXAMPLE!! if mars in in 10th in aries and is busting out some major work in your life awesome! but if it in a bad Gochara from the natal moon, the moon will perceive success as failure or no pleasure or contentment in completion of all this martial energy!

Saturn: GIVING WORK THAT YOU DON’T WANT TO DO BUT NEED TO IF YOUR SOUL HAS A CHANCE.

Mars: DIRECTING PASSION TOWARDS IMPRACTICAL IF NOT COMPLETELY INSANE AGENDAS / ENERGY OUTPUT ISSUE

Mercury: THROWING THINGS OUT OF ALIGNMENT / IMBALANCE / MISCOMMUNICATION

Venus: NOT BEING VALIDATED / VALUED / TALENTS NOT BEING APPRECIATED or ENCOURAGED / SCARCITY

Moon: DENIED COMFORT / TRYING TO INCREASE SOMETHING on WANING MOON and vice versa. (yes we consider Moon transits from himself)

Jupiter: TAKING YOU INTO MORE EXPANDED HAPPINESS OF SPIRITUAL AWAKENING BUT PAINFUL BECAUSE YOU FIRST MUST HAVE YOUR TOY, YOUR TINY HAPPINESS YOU ARE DISTRACTING YOURSELF WITH , TAKEN AWAY FOR THE MORE COSMIC UNDERSTANDING.
