Mystery of Elements by Ascendant Sign – Applied Vedic Astrology

Excerpt from Barry’s book Finding Your Blind Spots.

The doshas associated with the elements in these five zodiac signs are:

• Sheep: have water problem
• Taurus: have a fire problem
• cancer: there is a problem with the earth
• Lion: there is a problem with the wind
• Scorpio: there is a problem of space

Fatal Defects of the Elements:

Sheep: The water element has problems with water, so they may have difficulty connecting with emotion, love, food and public. Venus and Moon become difficult planets, creating relationship problems unless the Moon and/or Venus are well in the chart or if the fourth, eighth and twelfth houses offer some compensation.

Adding more to the Divine Mother’s energy through mantra or worship is antidote. If Mars or the 1st house is afflicted, then the natives of Aries will have to beware of impatience, selfishness, “I want now” arrogance, carelessness, and leaving actions undone.

Taurus: Agni is the problem with Agni, so he has the problem of ‘get up and go’. The fire planets, Sun, Mars and Ketu, all have related issues but are necessary to accomplish anything. Taurus is known to be based on the most earth and signs. They may get stuck with the tendency to hold onto money or material things in their lives. Taurus needs help with fire signs and fire planets and it helps if they are well positioned. Lots of vigorous and vigorous aerobic exercise is important to propel this sign, as there can be a tendency for heaviness, depression, and sadness. Despite being a benefic planet in an auspicious sign, why Jupiter can cause weight gain or diabetes problem here, it can be guessed. Taurus has to be careful with sweets when Jupiter is afflicted. Jupiter or Venus afflicted in the chart can cause stubbornness, inflexibility, greed, laziness, self-indulgence, ultra-orthodox positions, intolerance and over-accumulation.

cancer: This rising sign has a problem with the earth element and therefore with material success, composition, and manifestation in the physical world. Therefore, a strong balance of planets well placed in Capricorn, Taurus and Virgo can be helpful in removing this occult dosha. A well placed Venus or Saturn can remove this imbalance, especially if they are well placed or in Taurus or Capricorn. Cancer sign people will have to actively focus on saving money and being motivated for worldly success. Often, they prefer to just meditate and bathe in the wonders of the spiritual world. If the Moon or the 1st house is afflicted, Cancer natives need help to remove this occult dosha. If the Moon or the 1st house is afflicted, Cancerians will have problems with being overly dependent or clinging, hoarding, hypersensitivity, moodiness, joy, abandonment, and unsuccessful choosing friends and partners. It is necessary to force oneself to freeze in the material world. It is helpful to do soil activities such as building, carpentry and gardening. Raising the fire element through active and vigorous aerobic exercise is vital to revitalizing the solar plexus and getting the fire moving.

Lion: Leo sign people have problems with the air element or air and hence Saturn and Rahu need to be strong or strong in their charts. Ideally, the king needs good servants to be successful, hence the need for a good relationship with Shani and yet Leo has the most difficulty with Shani. Health and longevity may be an issue if Saturn and Rahu are not well placed in the birth chart. If Sun or 1st house is afflicted, Leo has to deal with pride, arrogance, vanity, condescension, dominance, problems with subordinates, power hungry, letting career dominate his life, which creates imbalance. could. Raising the water element and cooling down the heat with swimming can be helpful. To ensure that the air element doesn’t get out of balance, it may be wise not to overdo the intense aerobic energy. Of course, it all depends on the individual chart. Exercise is good but the person should not be dehydrated or exhausted.

Scorpio: Scorpios have problems with space or the sky and have a hard time holding everything together because they have a strong ability to instinctively move into the etheric realm and deeply connect and expand their consciousness. Their strong quest for salvation requires a divine connection to remind them that all is well and that God and God are taking care of them. Jupiter is the remedy for this affliction, as he needs a Guru and knowledge. It helps to gather and ground consciousness and bring things together and bring them out of meditative separation. Community becomes important to avoid isolation and being alone.

Pisces and Sagittarius: These signs need to be strongly dominant in the chart and Jupiter is associated with Mars or Ketu to rebalance this affliction. If Mars, Ketu or Scorpio is afflicted, there will be problems with being overly critical, possessive, vindictive, overly sensitive, controlling, critical, suffering in relationships, overworked and overly anxious. A lot of ground and soil activities such as gardening are essential to them and even something like light weight training can help them counteract the lightheadedness that can overwhelm them. Grounding yoga is helpful.

Charts are very personal and I never want to stereotype people based on pointers. But sometimes it’s a way to quickly point the finger at a person’s root problem. I hope the reader will find this knowledge as informative as I found it.
