The current article was impressed by a current DM on twitter. I had made a tweet, stating mainly that, the planet of magnificence can even make on ugly, and a consumer messaged me asking that I kindly elaborate.
Let me begin off with a couple of fundamentals…
The keys to a “sturdy” Mars and a “sturdy” Venus are simple sufficient — merely behave as a powerful Mars or Venus would and there you go.
Mars at is greatest isn’t simply destabilized, he’s grasp of himself, self-controlled, self-tamed and doesn’t react primarily based on emotion however is considerate of his actions. So, the subsequent time somebody provokes you, you might be allowed to really feel offended, however be very aware of your response and attempt to react reasonably, or in no way. The subsequent time you might be confronted with consuming an additional cupcake, realizing that it will not be one of the best weight-reduction plan determination, say “no!” to your self. Mars is a malefic, and all malefic negate, reject and management, each themselves and others. To ensure that Mars, the wrangler of beasts, to tame others, he essentially should tame himself, and one who simply offers himself over to his vices and feelings and makes any determination that isn’t primarily based on thought and logic, he fails and dangers devolving right into a beast.
Different methods of strengthening Mars embrace different acts of self-discipline like waking up on time, understanding, being sincere — as honesty not solely takes bravery, as solely these afraid of proudly owning as much as their errors lie, however honesty can also be purifying, and Mars is a planet of fireplace. Mars, being a fiery malefic, can also be a correcting pressure, which is why it will be important for morality and ethics.
Venus is all that pleases the senses, and so to strengthen her, one should freely and shamelessly pursue that which excites one, no matter no matter societal rule or customized which will inhibit one. Do you want pizza with pineapple, although others protest with “fruit doesn’t go on pizza!”? Do it! Eat it! Savor it with gusto and inform everybody else to go to Halifax. Do you take pleasure in watching violent films with essentially the most psychologically disturbing bloody scenes? Go for it!
Venus can also be the planet of intra-personal and inter-personal intelligence, and so one other approach of strengthening it’s by training empathy, compassion and all the humanities of love-making — which isn’t restricted to intercourse.
It curious isn’t it? For those who research the above statements, the important thing to 1’s energy is the important thing to the opposite’s weak point, in a way, and this additionally helps us perceive planetary enmity. Now, based on Vedic astrology, Mars and Venus usually are not technically enemies, however they belong to enemy camps.
So, now we have mentioned the fundamentals of easy methods to strengthen every planet, however there may be extra to it than that. For this I’ll reference the idea of yin and yang. Yang is filled with vitality, vitality, pressure and freedom and it “ejects” its white, gentle vitality freely into the universe, however… in doing so, it will definitely loses all of its “yang” gentle and transforms itself into yin. Identical goes for yin, the chilly, managed, empty vessel that collects gentle vitality… it could achieve this to such an extent that it turns into yang.
In alchemy, for instance, it’s taught {that a} man can not ejaculate, even throughout intercourse, as a result of to take action is to lose his yang vitality which finally means he turns into yin and turns into polarized in opposition to his companion, and in so doing he loses attraction for her, which is adopted by an entire host of interpersonal and intrapersonal issues.
Now, what does all of this must do within the context of Mars and Venus? Venus is magnificence, its most well-known traits. However, will we not know that well being and sweetness go hand in hand? What occurs to the physique of 1 who solely ever offers himself over to indulgences? Quick-foods, caviar, vodka, sleeping all day, losing his juices having essentially the most scrumptious, orgasmic and ejaculatory intercourse? He finally wastes that stunning physique and it begins its sluggish decline into ugliness. Do you see? It’s as a result of it’s so far in the direction of one excessive, that it falls again to the alternative, as yang transforms into yin.
It’s attention-grabbing that Venus is related with all the homes of demise in astrology (2nd, seventh, twelfth) as a result of that’s what it means to present into love — it means destroying your individual self within the act of uniting your self with one thing else. Mars, then again, is related with the homes that construct and protect the physique and fights in opposition to international invasion (which may imply international our bodies that search to “invade” our personal physique by penetration), homes 1, 8 and 6, as Mars is karaka of the sixth home.
Moreover, in some occult circles it’s stated that ladies acquire their magnificence as a result of males… ahem… “throw” their vitality their approach, the girl sucks up this vitality, resulting in her wealth, information and ever rising seductiveness, leaving the unskilled and untrained man dumb, boring and… “dry” — to not point out, ugly.
What about Mars? Is Mars not the power to overcome? Keep in mind that Mars will get his energy by austerities and denials of delight. However… what on this world is price preventing for if not pleasure and love? Venus is herself planet of inspiration, the planet that stirs us, excites us, provokes us! She can also be technically what offers us energy, referring to soma or semen in ayurveda — Mars and Venus relate to vitality in the identical approach as an engine and gasoline. Mars is the engine, however Venus is the gasoline. If the extremely Martian denies himself of all that’s pleasurable and resist something that “stirs” himself in an try to keep up management over himself, he’ll threat destruction by exterior forces that not solely possess a few of his energy and self-discipline, but additionally possess the added passions and inspirations that he has spent a lot of his life denying himself. In overdoing his penance, he has weakened himself.
Keep in mind that Venus and Jupiter are benefics and so planets of addition — planets that give and make full. They relate to fats and bodily juices, with out which, Mars’ warmth would scale back the physique to pores and skin and bones, which may subsequently be blown to ash by a single breath.
It’s attention-grabbing, when one considers nakshatras, that Krittika is related to each Venus and Mars, by the use of rashi and deity, and Krittika is god of struggle, for he possess each the energy and self-discipline (Mars) and hungry, beastly lust for blood as his drink of alternative (Venus).
Early on on this article, I’ve supplied primary recommendation to strengthen the Mars and Venus of those that have them weak, however now I’ll do the alternative, I’ll provide recommendation to “weaken” the Mars and Venus of those that have gotten them so sturdy that it creates an imbalance of their chart.
In case your Venus is simply too sturdy, then you might be too indulgent, so to steadiness this… add extra Martian qualities into your life. Perhaps don’t have an ice-cream sandwich as a midnight snack, possibly (or, I ought to say, by no means) watch pornography and ejaculate usually. Apply saying no to your self and develop different technique of self-control. Venus is planet of magnificence, however really it pertains to magnificence as a result of magnificence is pleasure (for the self and others). The planets that extra straight craft stunning objects are Mars and Mercury, planets related to the regulation of the physique, good well being and (within the case of Mars) self-denial.
Once more, Mars is a malefic and pertains to the anus — Mars excretes from our system something that’s damaging to us. Mars can also be the “lunar” facet of the eighth home, and pertains to celibacy, telling us that unwisely “providing” our our bodies for others to “eat” can even deplete our scrumptious juices.
Now, in case your Mars is simply too sturdy, you’ll burn out which is able to finally result in your being conquered… which is the alternative of what the planet of conquest is imply to permit. For you, apply extra cooling Venusian practices into your life. Perhaps don’t go to the gymnasium 6 days a weak, and have a day of being completely lazy, consuming no matter you need and watching no matter responsible pleasure tv program you need to. Have a day or two per week the place you sleep excessively, put on no matter you would like, whether or not over-dressed or under-dressed and fret money and time away with family and friends. You don’t must drink alcohol, which might break down your physique’s well being, however purchase your self a pleasant drink.
The irony of life! These planets, relying on their mixture, can actually create each other or destroy each other.
This little article on steadiness is paying homage to the traditional story of the buddha and the center approach. Legend has it that upon listening to a girl taking part in a guitar he realized that, with the intention to make music, there wanted to be a mixture of tightening the guitar string and loosening the guitar string. You can not reside your life in a state of without end tightening, or else you’ll break the string. Neither are you able to at all times loosen, or else the instrument will stay unplayed.
