With the blessings of my guru and husband who used to be the best astrologer of our area this blog of mine will try to make learn different characteristics of twelve signs of astrology including their tatvas. Nature is made up of five tatvas sky, air, fire, water, earth. Sun is soul and moon is chitt or mann. In first skandh of srimad bhagvatam, chitt is given utmost importance. As we all know on the night of Poornima there are high tides in sea due to gravitational pull or attraction of moon. We all know human body contains more than seventy percent of water therefore it is believed we all are influenced in our deeds by our moon or mann therefore moon is called mother of horoscope.
Earlier Hindu Vedic Astrology was practised based on nakshatras that are 27 in number from Ashwini to Revati nd 28 if we include Abhijeet . Contellations are fixed and zodiac is constantly moving. But later these constellations were divided into twelve rashis or signs from Aries to Pisces. Each rashi having 2.25 nakshatras in it. Each planet has its own tatva or nature and similarly, rashis too. As we all know mars is fire and Saturn is cold nd so on. Today, we will analyse tatvas and nature of Rashis.
The 12 rashis are :
- Aries
- Taurus
- Gemini
- Cancer
- Leo
- Virgo
- Libra
- Scorpio
- Sagittarius
- Capricorn
- Aquarius
- Pisces
Rashis are divided into 3 categories according to their nature or tatvas. This is usually considered to study someone’s nature and also in medical astrology. These are of 3 types.
Movable – 1, 4,7,10 Aries, cancer, Libra, Capricorn
Fixed – 2, 5, 8, 11 taurus ,Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius
Dual – 3, 6, 9, 12 Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, pisces
According to tatvas
Fiery – Aries, Leo, Sagittarius
Earthy – Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn
Airy – Gemini, Libra, Aquarius
Watery – cancer, Scorpio, Pisces
But in practice their navamsha placement is very important as seen in many cases.
The fifth component means Akash tatva is narayan himself. A thing the ultimate key he has kept himself with him. Therefore astrologer say real key he has kept himself we are only acting according to his wishes or devagya.
