All the Vedic Sciences, including Ayurveda, Yoga, Mantra, Chakras, and Vedic Astrology were created to help us balance and harmonize the Pancha Maha Bhuta, or the Five Elements, in our body, mind, and consciousness.
To strengthen our free and not succumb to the destiny predicted in Vedic Horoscope requires that we develop a balanced relationship to the Five Elements; Ether, Air, Fire, Water, and Earth, to promote well-being, peace, and happiness.
The guided meditation video above is designed to bring you into a deeper relationship with the Five Elements. The intention we can bring to this practice is to release the Samskaras, or childhood memories and genetic predispositions, that are creating misbeliefs and polarity, resulting in what we call difficult karma.
Set an intention and practice this 30-minute exercise for 30 days, as a remedy for whatever is causing you anxiety or grief and see how your perspective changes.
Vedic Astrology and the Five Elements
When any of the Five Elements go out of balance in our body, mind, or consciousness, we find ourselves beset by difficulties. In other words, your personal biology, psychology, relationships, wealth, life purpose, success, and spirituality are all under the influence of the Five Elements, as is your Vedic horoscope. Underuse, overuse, or superficial use of any Element, related Planet, and Zodiac sign can be course-corrected to improve our karma.
- Air Element: Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius and their rulers Mercury, Venus, and Saturn
- Fire Element: Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius, and their rulers Mars, Sun, and Jupiter
- Water Element: Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces and their rulers Moon, Mars, and Jupiter
- Earth Element: Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn and their rulers Venus, Mercury and Saturn
Beyond the Four Elements, there is the Fifth Element, Ether, that exists in our body, mind, and consciousness, as the primal cosmic element from which the other elements originated.
(Note: that Sun and Moon rule over one sign and one Element only; the Moon rules the Water Sign of Cancer and the Sun the Fire sign of Leo. All the other planets rule over two signs and two different Elements).
The more harmoniously these elements are functioning in a horoscope the gentler the karma of the person. This is why having well-placed planets in kendras or angles (Houses 1, 4, 7, 10) is considered auspicious, as each angle will contain the energy of a different element that you can access.
