Malefic Benefic...in a Horoscope

 

Role of Moon (मन) & other Benefic planets in manifesting any Good or Bad results in Horoscope

In the human body all of his senses are theoretical to be governed by an invisible authority known as Man (मन). It is (मन) the common word for Mind. But more specifically it refers to the emotional aspect of the Mind. It is an indriya (मानव शरीर में पांच इंद्रियां होती हैं ,इनमें मन भी शामिल हैं) which cause of all miseries, therefore Man (मन) is a controller of everything (every action of life) in body.  And this Mind refers to the emotional aspect, therefore, it has three stages/Gun such as Satvik, Rajasic & Tamasic .

What is Gun – The material nature constitutes of three guns (modes)—sattva (goodness), Rajas (passion), and Tamas (ignorance). Since the body, mind, and intellect are material in nature, they too possess these three modes, and a combination of these guns forms the basis of one’s character. A spiritual seeker needs to deal with all these three immensely powerful forces of material nature. Once the soul is able to transcend above these three modes, it attains illumination. How intensity of results given by planets get modified by using Guns, what is Gun. They influence the nature, traits, predisposition, behavior, attitude all of this are influenced by Guns. In Bhagvad Gita , Lord Krishn has clarified in details about these three Guns.

Satvik- A person having Satvik Mind/ thoughts, has the power of truth that is why he never deviates himself from the right path even though under worst circumstances. – It is a state of harmony, balance, joy & intelligence. Sattav is the gun with which one can reduce Rajas and Tamas and thus makes liberation possible. Enlightenment, Radiance, delight, happiness, Peace, freedom, love compassion, Knowledge, Happiness, Comfort.                                        A Satvik person follows the Dharmic way of life, would like to eat simple food, works for the welfare of the society, welfare of others, without expecting anything in return. Peacefulness, morality, well-being, serenity, etc. are the virtues of those in the mode of goodness.

Satvik can be simply understood as perfect balance between energy supply and demand and thus the body continues in perfect or balanced motion. Satvik gun is attributed to mutable or dual signs 

Rajasic -  On the other hand, Rajasic is a state of energy, action, change, related to passion, desire, attachment, Rajasic person though straight forward but is very ambitious, is always after materialistic pursuits. Always wants to work towards attaining the goal, accomplishing something, believes in victories, and always expects something in return for the work done by him/her. They are very straight forward about their motives, no ulterior motives there. The endless desires and ambitions; they strive to satiate them and work towards worldly enhancement. Therefore, Rajasic qualities binds us to the fruits of our work. Other qualities are Attraction, attachment, anxiety, fear, irritation, restlessness, stress, courage, rumination, determination etc.

A person with Rajasic Mind displays both qualities of Man (मन) such as Satvik and Tamasic. Sometimes he becomes truthful and sometimes he deviates himself from the right way. Therefore, people with more Satvik qualities in Rajasic Mind find themselves able to withstand the polluted environment after getting some failures. They purify their Man (मन) under tough and adverse phases. 

 Rajas gun is the desire and hence power to create and reflects  the use of surplus energy which is available with movable signs. Rajas gun is attributed to movable signs and will continue to keep working or doing till the energy finishes. Thus, Rajas ends in Tamas gun when the fuel supply finishes.

 The Role of Rajasic Gun- Whenever we talk about growth in profession; in terms of  promotion, achievements etc. , there should be a desire, should be a passion, and drive money from it successfully, as we are talking about material prosperity, therefore, to achieve anything in life,  this Rajasic Gun plays a very vital role. The touch has to be there. The dominance of Rajasic gun is required if a person has to rise to a very high post. 

Tamasic – It is a State of darkness, greed, Jealousy, ego, aggression, mode of ignorance, inactivity, other Tamasic qualities are gripped by laziness, disgust, attachment, depression, helplessness, doubt, guilt, shame, addiction, apathy, confusion, grief, dependency, excessive sleep, delusion, intoxication, and other vices. The reverse is true for Tamas gun which has no power or energy to do anything and is seeking energy to get activated and achieve its goals. Tamas is attributed to the fixed signs which symbolise lack of motion and low energy

People with Tamasic Gun are always miles away from truth and from the right path. Whether they are in a good or bad / adverse phase they do not follow the truth. So, they  cannot withstand tough phases of life.

People with Rajasic Man (मन) but with more Tamasic qualities though display truthfulness but only in prosperity but as soon as the negative and tough phase/s of their life starts, they deviate themselves from the right path and start following the wrong way to fulfill their needs (desires).                   

So, people with (above mentioned) Rajasic Man (मन) may or may not be on the right path under tough situations. But, people with pure Satvik Man (मन) never deviates himself from the right path even though under worst circumstances. - BUT

Looking at present situation of the WORLD….

- It is difficult to find a person with Satvik Mindset (only), although there are people but very few, having this quality. And, native with Rajasic Mindset with more Satvik qualities are also lesser in numbers. 

- Plus, Natives with Tamasic mind are found in abundance (everywhere) in the world. 

- Therefore, Native having Rajasic Mindset with More Satvik qualities (Mix bunch of both) can be taken as of Satvik personality.  (Find out which one you have) 

- Therefore, Combining the three states of Mind (under tough and adverse situations) – It is evident that Natives having (pure) Satvik mindset & people with Rajasic mind with more Satvik qualities can be considered as the people of Satvik mind. Because they can endure tough and adverse phases of life, as and when comes in their life. 

- The Sun, The Moon & Jupiter  are classified having sattva gun,

• The Sun represents the Soul, and so it is considered Satvik
• The Moon signifies Purity, The Mind, The Manah: (मन)
• Jupiter governs the qualities of forgiveness, Dharm (responsibility), wisdom, faith, and spirituality

 - Venus and Mercury as Rajasic 

•  Venus is known for desire and pleasures, thus Rajasic
•  Mercury is for worldly interests, hence it is also Rajasic

- The four malefics – Mars, Saturn, Rahu and Ketu as Tamasic.

• Saturn is known for laziness and depressing plus revengeful &
• Mars is traumatic, aggression, enemies and accidents. So, both are bound to be Tamasic.
• Rahu is related to phobias and attachments. Thus, comes under Tamasic category.
• Practically it is observed that Ketu holds both Satvik and Tamasic nature                                                                                   -  When it portrays shy behaviour or abstains from any action, it becomes Tamasic.                                                                                     -  When it signifies spirituality, wisdom, and liberation, Ketu is known to possess Satvik temperament.

Pertinent to mention the following – 

All four Dual Rashi - Satvik Gun governed by  Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces Rashi. A newborn baby is the symbol of Satvik quality.

All four Movable Rashi  - Rajas temperament are dominant in the natives Aries, Cancer, Libra & Capricorn Rashi. The symbol of a volcanic eruption represented by Rajasic Gun.

All four Fix Rashi - Taurus, Leo, Scorpio & Aquarius, have dominant Tamasic Gun. A tall mountain symbolises the Tamasic Gun..

So, native having strong mental strength (determination) can easily enjoy the results of even weak promises available in a horoscope. Even if he does not receive any support from  other benefic planets, representing Satvik in nature.   

So, technically,  one must focus / work upon converting our weak Moon to  strong Moon, & if at all, Jupiter, Mercury or Venus found weak / malefic basis placement & ownership they have been assigned in horoscope, should also make them (ALL three) good by surrounded yourself in  positive environment. Because they are the pillars of getting all sorts of GOOD results in our life, no matter what we get as PRARBADH …...

The role of free-will/ Karma Theory in maintaining the equilibrium among  Rajas Tamas and Satvik Gun 

How can we reduce Tamas - avoid Tamasic foods, oversleeping, overeating, inactivity, passivity and fearful situations. Tamasic foods include heavy meats and foods that are spoiled, chemically treated, processed or refined. For more info read A Yogi’s Practical Guide to Balancing Tamas Gun. 

How can we reduce Rajas - Avoid Rajasic foods, over-exercising, overwork, loud music, excessive thinking and consuming excessive material goods. Rajasic foods include fried foods, spicy foods, and stimulants. For more info read Reducing Rajas Gun: A Yogi’s How-To Guide. 

How can we be more Sattvic - Reduce both Rajas and Tamas, eat Sattvic foods and enjoy activities and environments that produce joy and positive thoughts. Sattvic foods include whole grains and legumes and fresh fruits and vegetables that grow above the ground. All of the yogic practices were developed to create sattva in the mind and body. Thus, practicing yoga and leading a yogic lifestyle strongly cultivates satvikness......... Or in a layman's language - Following the Satvik lifestyle can help people become their own doctors (healers) and cure diseases ( can change their misfortunes into FORTUNES) naturally....
