manefested himself as Rashis”

Parashar

In the study of Astrology by undesranding the symbols of the body parts, one can get deeper knowledge about Rashis and their signiﬁcance as inﬂuencers.

Rashis - the Limbs of Vishnu

Why Vishnu?

Within the trinity, Bramha is the Creator, Vishnu the Sustainer and Shiva the Destructor. Naturally, all the things related to sustenance will be seen as pertaining to the domain of Vishnu.

Thus, the Body of Vishnu is important as a manifestation on this planet and the Limbs of the Kaal Purusha; known as the limbs of Vishnu are made of different Rashis and bring about the patterns of sustenance.

Aries

the head.

The Head of the Kaal Purusha-

Head is the springhead of thoughts and ideas. It is here that a person focuses upon his ideas. Aries is inspiration and focus.

It is movable rashi, thus easily changeable and in turn adds the quality to our thoughts, ideas as well as focus, which keep on shifting. Head encases the brain, and is the centre of intelligence. Thus, it stands for intellectual capacity of a person.

The intelligence manefests through Aries. Our abilities are emmerging from head. The head represents beginnings and foundation.

Symultaneously, observing what planets are debilitated and exalted in Rashi can offer lot of insights into the state of the body parts.

Sun Exalts

in Aries at 10 degrees. Sun represents intelligence and inspirations. Aries being the foundations, the fountain head where all things begin, it beneﬁts from having the Sun shine in its house full of intelligence and inspiration. Naturaly, Sun shines the best.

I like leading!

Sun also stands for the kingship. And thus, a king governing a kingdom will bring in favourable results over the time in Aries. Thus, people with Sun in Aries are able to govern their kingdoms, with grace and authority to its fullest potential.

Saturn is debilitated

in Aries. Saturn reprsents servants and stands for sorrows and miseries. The sorrows & miseries in the head are not going to help a good life nor support to set good foundations that Aries stands for. Saturn natural tendencies do not match with the job of governing a kingdom is required. The people with Saturn in Aries are not able to utilise their abilities to their potential and ﬁnd it difﬁcult to govern their own lives.

Saturn is beneﬁtted by its friends like delighted by Venus, it will get help and do better in Aries.

NOTE: Graha that sit in the Rashi can tell you what it will offer to the Rashi. Moon in Aries - the persons head is governed by emotions.

Taurus the face.

The Face -

Taurus - the face, Sankrit word used for it is Anana, which literally means mouth. The body parts under Taurus is mouth, the passage of the throat and the surrounding areas of the face and neck. Taurus holds many of the important organs and glands such as salivary glands, tonsils, and the upper portions of the esophagus and trachea.

The prominence of sense organs gives Taurus the capacity for perception of pleasure.

• The mouth is the source of nourishement.

• Mouth and the nose, together allow us to breath air - an essence of life.

• Neck, by its capacity to move the head in various directions allows one to locate needs and thus achieve them.

• Teeth along with jaw muscles enable us to do the tremedous hard work and chew the requirments into pieces in order to fullﬁll needs.

Taurus plays vital role in nourishmentUnderstanding, Locating and Fullfilling the needs.

Moon Exalts

in Taurus at 3 degrees. Moon represents the mother and in that sense it represents provider of nourishment. Moon stands for getting the needs met. That is why the moon exalts in Taurus. Thus, when Moon is in Taurus a person is aware of their own needs and can get the needs satisﬁed.

Rahu

is symbolised as the Head of the Demon (Ketu being the body without head). Thus, Rahu is also considered exalted in Taurus, as it represents feeding.Planets in good Lajitadi Avasta will help the person fullﬁll their needs.The body parts associated with Taurus also are capable to alert us if we eat something that is not good for us, for example tonsils will help in keeping a watch on what goes in and ﬂareup to warn us when necessary. Good planets here help identify and determine what is good for the person.

Ketu

can be considered to be debilitated here; and naturally so. Ketu is a headless shadow planet. It doesnot have the mouth or any other part that can help in identifying, locating or consuming whatis required to meet needs. No planet is debilitated in Taurus.

NOTE: Problem with this sign is the person having difficulty with identifying the needs or realise their needs.

Gemini

the arms.

The Arms, Neck and Shoulders -

Gemini, the arms, gives the capacity to take that which is in our environment and work and create with it. Gemini, therefore,represents skills and abilities and the tools with which to create or to destroy.

Gemini is Everything in the line of artms held parallel to ﬂoor. All the organs, glands and body parts located in the arm area, namely the shoulders, collarbones, scapula, arms, hands, upper lungs, the ﬁrst four thoracic vertebrae and the lower portions of the esophagus and trachea.

No planet is debilitated in Gemini.

If Gemini is aﬂicted then you cant do anything. Symbolises our ability to do things. If you cannot do things in life, a person can get the feeling of why am I here? Can lead to depressions.

Only enemy to Mercury, the ruler of this sign is Mars. Mars is the only planet that will cause trouble in Gemeni when there by itself. Essentially, Mars will curtail a persons ability to do.

Generally Gemini will not get aﬂicted, however when it is afﬂicted, it will impact a persons ability to do something. People who cant do something will generally tell others to do things.

NOTE: Problem with this sign means the person is having difficulty in doing things they want to do.

Cancer

The Chest and Heart

the chest.

The breast is where we experience emotions. The Sanskrit word used in the Sutra for breast is Hrit, which also means the heart as the seat of feeling and emotions.

A large portion of the lungs are also contained in the breast area and the ﬁrst reaction to an emotion is a change in breath, Cancer, therefore, is not only where we expericnce emotions, but also where we react to emotions. Cancer (which is also a moveable Rashi) is where we experience our changeable emotions.

Cancer is the centre for emotions, place where emotions are generated, reacted to emotions. This is where we communicate our feelings from.

Jupiter Exalts

in Cancer Jupiter knows wisdom. Thus it gets exalted in Cancer - the feeling area. Aries is Intelligence and so Jupiter will also do well in Aries. However, Cancer carries wisdom. Thus Jupiter is most comfortable in Cancer. This is the place for Joy and Happiness; which comes from wisdom-not intellifence.

Mars is debilitated

in Cancer. Mars infact is delighted by Moon, however, it gets debilitated here.That means Mars will not be uncomfortable in Cancer; however it will not act.

So it is not a bad planet in Cancer, it becomes a inactive planet here. It is sleeping. Debilitated is like being not able to act. But when you cant act but you are happy, it is not a bad situation.

We can interpret it as - Mars is not acting based on feelings. Thus Mars alon in Cancer is peaceful; unless afﬂicted in some way.

NOTE: Problem with this sign means the person is having difficulty in emotions and feelings.

Leo the stomach.

The Stomach, Liver, Kidney and Pancreas

The abdominal cavity is where the majority of the vital organs are located – the stomach, liver, kidneys, spleen and gall bladder, along with two important glands that have an important role in our energy levels –the pancreas and adrenals. On account of ruling more vital energizing organs than any other Rashi, Leo is the sign of vitality and, by extension, the personality strength of self-esteem and conﬁdence.

Leo also contains the ribs below the sternum & the last four thoracic vertebrae.

Six pack shows the Leo representation. Place where vitality is.

Mercury, Green Color

Virgo

the hip.

The Hipbone Area & Intestine

Focusses on area from the top of the hipbone down to the insertion point of the femur. The girdle area where the intestines are located, primarily responsible for assimilation of what is useful to the body while leaving that which is not useble. They enjoy the good qualaties of a person, does’nt involve themselves with any undesireable qualaties which that person may possess. Leaves the undesirable qualaties to sort themselves out as they may. Virgo is one of the best of friends and one of the reasons that Mercury, who rules friends, is exalted in Virgo. Virgo is the Rashi of disease and afﬂicted planets in Virgo quickly become disordered. This Rashi reveals our weaknesses, that need development and growth, as the young girl, which symbolizes Virgo, has not reached her physical maturity and strength.

Most of Intestine is here - it is good for identifying what is good and leaving what is not needed for the body. Keeping good and ignoring what is bad.

Venus is debilitated in Virgo.

Here Venus is not able to make use of the bad things; it is not active.

Venus is needed to accept the presence of bad things and then forced to ignore it.

Thus people with Venus in Virgo will constatly want to dentify the bad in other people and keep on pointing it out.

It has hard time accepting the negative aspects in people.

NOTE: Mars wants to fight and destroy things. Thus people with Mars in Virgo will fight things that they can ignore. Things which are not important to fight for.

Libra

the pelvis.

The space below navelthe Pelvic Triangle.

The pelvic triangle, which holds the bladder, the anus, the internal reproductive organs, ovaries in women and the prostrate in men. The area of the ﬁve fused vertebrae of the sacrum as well also fall under Libra’s domain. The bladder and rectum hold that which has no value to the body and that of which the body is going to be rid. Libra, most essentially represents knowing what to let go of and what is not desirable and the keeping of that which is valuable. This quality makes them most successful in business and capable of taking best decisions. On account of ruling the sacred body parts that contains the internal reproductive organs, Libra symbolizes creation and growth through.

Keeping what is good and leaving what is not required. As against the Virgo that simply ignores, Libra will leave it.

Scorpio the private parts.

The Private Parts-

Scorpio represents the external sexual organs and the anus. These are the vulnerable organs that are not protected or strengthend by bone or surrounded by ﬂesh.

Scorpio thus represents vulnerabilities and the attempt to protect that which is vulnerable.

Observing what planets are debilitated and exalted in Rashis with reference to body parts, we get a lot of insights into Scorpio.

Sagittarius

The Thighs and Buttocks

These are the largest muscles in the human body and the most responsible muscles for moving the body. Any animal can beat a human in short distances, but in long ultra-marathon distances a healthy and ﬁt human can outrun any animal and cross more miles in a single day than any other land species. These muscles are responsible for our direction and purpose, which are ruled by Sagittarius. Man’s purposes are long-term, thus man has better developed buttocks and the ability to continue a course for a much longer time. Sagittarius also rules the coccygeal vertabrea of the tailbone.

In man the tailbone is short and has no effect on maintaing physical balance, but it does symbolize the idea of balance with a greater purpose. Sagittarius, therefore, represents one’s phiolosophy and beliefs, which serve to keep one in balance.

Capricorn

the knees.

Rules the part of knee.

The Knees are the junction between the bone of the thigh and the bones of the shanks, also includes the bottom of the thighbone while the part of the knee, the top of the shanks is ruled by Aquarius. Capricorn believes that it is doing all the work and is responsible for what happens, though in actually it is not, even though it feels the pain of its “efforts.” In the Hindu epic, the Mahabharata, prince Duryodhana thought that his actions could give him the throne, and he was responsible for what life would give him, but no matter how he tried, the throne belonged to the Pandavas. Durydhana had a boon that he could not be defeated, except by having his thigh broken, which means the end of his believing that he makes life happen according to his plans.

Similarly, Capricorn thinks it is responsible for what happens and has its plans until one learns the first stage of Karma Yoga, the renunciation of the fruits of one’s actions and the realization, leaving what happens up to God and simply fulfill the duties laid before us without any attachements or expectations towards the results.

The foundations and beginnings based on intelligence and inspirations are going to work well. Thus, people with Saturn in Aries are not able to govern their kingdoms, and utilise their abilities to their potential. Sun stands for the king. And thus a king governing a kingdom will bring in faavourable results over the time.

The Shanks and Ankles.

The shanks are the intermediary that connects the power put forth through the thighs with the feet that provide stability and balance. Capricorn represent the idea of doing and acting, Pisces represents loss of what one thinks and understands. Aquarius is the bridge between one’s actions and understanding. Aquarius represents how secure we are with our individuality, accepted our pluses and minues, strengths and weakness. In compensating for their lack, they will want one thing without even knowing it. Aquarius has within it the ability to see itself as a creation of God as it becomes psychologically healthy and free from the natural psycoligical complexes that plague man.

Aquarius must learn the 2nd stage of Karma Yoga, which is renouncing what other’s think about us and what others think about what we do, which only a secure individuality that has completed accepted itself can do.

Pisces

the feet.

The Feet

The feet are as far from the organ of thinking, the brain as possible, thus the feet represent loss of understanding. The body of this Rashi is, a circle and thus Pisces is actually the closest to Aries and thus the Piscean feet represent the loss of what one thinks they know which is replaced by what one truly understands. Feet represents the understanding that we can really rely or “stand” upon. Aries and the brain represent the understanding we think we have, but will it hold up? Only Pisces can tell, the understanding of Pisces is the real thing.

Thus we have the idea of, “landing on one’s feet,” conveying the idea of making a mistake but all turning out okay.

Pisces represents the 3rd stage of Karma Yoga, the renunciation of how one feel about theirselves. The one who thinks of oneself must still be renounced before he can transcend their current understanding.
