The Sun, Rebirth & the Forgotten Memory of the Soul There is a very deep idea hidden in ancient wisdom that we often overlook in modern life. Before birth, the soul knows. It remembers its past actions, its mistakes, its attachments, and even its desire to be free from the cycle of rebirth. Ancient texts describe how the soul, while in the womb, reflects again and again on suffering, karma, and the illusion of worldly pleasures. At that stage, there is clarity, detachment, and a silent prayer for liberation. But the moment we are born, something changes. As soon as the soul comes into contact with the physical world, memory fades. Maya (illusion) takes over. Past-life awareness disappears. The same soul that once longed for freedom now begins chasing desire, identity, success, fear, and validation. This is where the Sun becomes important in astrology. The Sun is not just about ego, authority, or career. The Sun represents Atma — the soul itself. A strong Sun in the birth chart shows clarity of purpose, inner confidence, and remembrance of one’s path. A disturbed Sun often reflects confusion, loss of direction, or excessive attachment to material life. Astrology, at its core, is not about fear or prediction. It is about remembrance.
Square aspect is not in Vedic astrology But in Vedic Astrology, a planet does not only give results where it is placed it also gives results where it is looking (Drishti / Aspect). Example from attached chart: Jupiter and Mars are placed in the 1st house, but they also influence other areas of life through their aspects: Jupiter aspects 5th, 7th and 9th houses Mars aspects 4th and 8th houses (plus the natural 7th aspect for both) Similarly, Venus and Sun are sitting in the 4th house, but their aspects also impact Xth houses. ➡️ So every planet gives results in three ways: 1. Where it is sitting 2. Where it is looking 3. Who are sitting with (Called yuti) That’s why aspects are very important to understand life events accurately
This Friday, while the whole world is busy chasing deals and discounts, let’s take a moment to look beyond material things. In Vedic wisdom, every action creates karma. If Black Friday gives us 50–70% off on products, can we also give the same “discount” to our inner burdens like ego, fear, stress, and old habits that no longer support our growth? Just like we wait in long lines to buy a T-shirt on sale, can we also release negative thoughts and lighten our soul? On this Black Friday, instead of only filling our home with more items, let’s try to empty our mind of unnecessary stress. That will be the greatest saving a discount on karma and an investment in inner peace. Wishing you a Happy Black Friday!
Dear all my friends! Your questions and support make me so happy. Today I want to share something very interesting from Vedic Astrology Rahu and Ketu. These two planets have a very unique and powerful effect on our life, but they are different from all the other planets. In Vedic Astrology, we believe in nine planetary forces. Seven are commonly known Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, and Saturn and even our weekdays are named after them! But there are two more very important planets in Vedic Astrology — Rahu and Ketu. The surprising thing is that they actually come from one single divine being according to ancient stories. During the Samudra Manthan, a divine nectar was being distributed, and a clever demon named Swarbhanu tried to take it by pretending to be a god. The Sun and Moon noticed this and informed Lord Vishnu, and a cosmic transformation took place Swarbhanu turned into two everlasting cosmic energies: his head became Rahu and his body became Ketu. Since then, Rahu and Ketu always stay opposite each other in the sky. They are known as shadow planets and are deeply connected to our past-life karmas and the lessons we must learn in this lifetime. Their placement in a birth chart can show where we feel strong desires and where we feel detachment, guiding both our worldly journey and our spiritual growth.
Today, I want to express my deep respect and gratitude to my Astrology Guru – Shri K. N. Rao ji. It is through his wisdom and teachings that I found the true depth of Jyotish. Every principle I practice today is rooted in the knowledge I received from him — a guiding light on my spiritual and astrological journey.
