"Oriente Lux Occidente Lex " ( Out of the East Light, out of
the West Laws ) - thus proclaimed the Latin scholars. The
Orient became synonymous with Light and Wisdom. The
Occident with laws & conquest of the outer world. The West
still dominates the fields of Science, Technology &
Economics. The East was far more bothered about conquering
the inner world: for the greatest conquest is the conquest
of the Mind ! " The noblest conquest is the conquest of
oneself " said Buddha. This inner conquest means to
sublimate our ego, conquer our negative aspect and then
redeem the world ! This is far more difficult than
conquering the outer world !
The role of Mars in Horoscopy
Mars is the Defense Minister in the Government of the
Almighty. On the practical plane this fiery planet is the
significator of administrative ability. If the fire of Mars
is not present in the natal chart, the native will be a
dreamer, lacking in the practical brilliance needed for
success.
The term martial is derived from Mars. Police,defence,
martial arts - all these come under his domain. Fiery
temparament and skill in war are the prerogatives of Mars.
If he be exalted in one's horoscope, the native will become
a cruel ruler ( as in Emperor Nero's horoscope).

Astrology and the Science of Numbers ( Numerology )
All the mysteries of the Universe, said Pythagorus, can be
represented by numbers. When we say philosophically that
our bodies belong to the Universal Sea of Matter and that
it is One, Reality can be represented by One. Or when we
say the oceans of Matter, Mind and Consciousness are three,
we represent Reality by three. Or when we say Reality is
sevenfold, manifesting as the septenary principles (
VIBGYOR, the seven octaves of music, the seven states of
Consciousness, the seven tissue elements etc ), we
represent Reality by Seven. Numerology , is in other words,
the symbolism of Reality by numbers.

Correspondence between Astrology & Gem Therapy
Howard Beckman ( http://www.p-g-a.org/) writes that
"Natural, untreated gemstones which are repositories of
cosmic colors can restore Pranic Energy to the cells of the
body so that their natural vibratory rate may be regained
and normal health may be regained when the body is in a
diseased condition. Blue Sapphire can tranquilize or have a
sedative effect; emerald can be used as an analgesic;
yellow sapphire has anti- septic properties; and diamond
may be used as a stimulant - these are just a few examples
of how gems can effetc the healing process in the body " (
Howard Beckman - Vibrational Healing with Gems )

Astrology , Holistic Medicine & Ayurveda
Social life in the West increasingly stressful with the
advent of rapid industrialization, urbanization & the
breakdown of family life after the Second World War. The
social disturbance caused by the Vietnam war, the
propagation of materialistic ideals & the erosion of faith
in Morality & Ethics brought a sense of futility &
meaninglessness in the Western psyche. The disillusionment
with the promises of Science & technology, the limitations
of the Western system of chemotherapy & the adverse
side-effects of antibiotics, sedatives and certain other
drugs made the West turn to Oriental philosophies, divine
practices & systems of therapy.
Holistic Health refers to a modern movement which regards
health as a dynamic state of the total human being.
Although the symptoms of a disease may be found in certain
tissues or organs, health is not a mere removal of such
symptoms by the treatment of the affected tissues or
organs, but a state of multidimensional experience,
according to this perspective. The mind, body & environment
are in a state of dynamic interaction & the maintenance of
this interaction in a maximal state of efficiency is what
health means. In other words "To be healthy is to have the
ability, despite an occasional bout of illness, to live
with full use of our faculties and be vigorous, alert and
happy to be alive, even in old age." This concept of
operational health has been termed as wellness. It is a
sense of all-round well-being.
Sir William Osler's advice that Whole is more important than
the Part ( that the patient who has the disease is more
important than the disease of the patient ) is reminiscent
of Plato - " No treatment of the parts should be attempted
without treatment of the entirety". ( Plato;' The State'
,380 Ante Domino ) The horoscope represents the Whole and
the 12 houses are the 12 limbs of the body.

The Ayurvedic Model
In the Ayurvedic Model, the planets are classified thus
Based on the great Sankhya school of Indian philosophy,
Ayurveda conceives life as the interplay of three life
principles called humours ( which correspond to the three
Gunas of Sankhya - Sattwa, Rajas and Thamas ). These are
Vata ( wind), Pitta( bile) & Kapha ( phlegm). Equilibrium
of the three humours is considered as health and any
disturbance in that equilibrium is regarded as disease. One
of the three humours will be predominant in the body. Hence
human bodies have been classified under three types: Vata
type, Pitta type & Kapha type.The body constitution is
taken into account while prescribing diet and medicine.

Astrology , Yoga & Pranic Healing
Yoga is the science of holistic health. According to Yoga
therapy, disease was defined as an imbalance in any of the
three lower sheaths of existence - physical, vital &
mental. The other sheaths are the higher sheaths -
intellectual & bliss sheaths. To attain higher states of
Consciousness, we should keep our lower & higher sheaths in
proper balance and use our higher sheaths.
Removing mental blocks is a major step in Pranic Therapy.
Removing Mental Blocks
Due to the presence of obstructions within, the Cosmic
Energy called Prana does not flow freely within the
individual & the Universal life. This is the main reason
holistic health practices often fail or succeed only
partially. These obstructions are caused by Samskaras,
residual traces of our past actions and experiences.
Samskaras are of two kinds, those which only produce
memories ( smriti ) of past experiences and those which
produce impulses or drives to repeat these experiences
called vasanas Complex patterns of love, hate, fear and
other emotions are generated by these psychic memories..
These complexes do obstruct the free flow of Life energy in
us.
These complexes, formed in childhood & adolescence are
repressed into the unconscious regions of the mind & these
repressed samskaras lodged in the hidden recesses of the
unconscious go on creating psychological & psychosomatic
problems.
Without a Guru, it is difficult to confront & ferret out
these repressed complexities. It is not easy to encounter
the past experiences and deactivate them.The true mystic
who depends only on Divine Power may find that these inner
blocks are removed by Divine Grace.
Astro-Therapy helps in removing mental blocks. By taking
recourse to remedial measures, faith and Grace Divine
allows the horoscopian to overcome the mental blocks &
negative planetary influences.

Astrology & Occult Vibratory Chemistry ( Tantra )
Occult Vibratory Chemistry existed in India by the name of
Tantra. Tantras developed a different but parallel model of
human personality Whereas Vedanta & Yoga speak of Five
Sheaths or Koshas, the Tantras speak of six chakras.
In the Tantric Model, life is regarded as the unfolding of
the Self at six different levels of consciousness known as
Chakras. In ordinary people the unfolding takes place only
at the first three chakras which represent procreation,
metabolism & speech; the higher three chakras remain latent
. The awakening of the higher chakras results in the
unfolding and fulfillment of spiritual life. The Heart
Chakra ( Anahata ), the Throat Chakra ( Vishuddhi ) & the
Eye Brow Chakra ( Ajna ) are the higher chakras, which when
awakened, can lead man to Cosmic Consciousness.
Sir John Woodroffe was a researcher in Tantra and he had
written many scholarly books on the subject. His magnum
opus is the "Serpent Power", which is a scientific treatise
about the Kundalini, the feminine serpentine energy present
in humans.
Yantras are diagramatic patterns about Manifestation. The
Central Dot or the Bindu represents the Absoulte Self and
the geometrical figures are Its different levels of
manifestation.
The main remedies used in Astro-Therapy are Tantric. Hence
Tantra continues to be a close affiliate of Astrology.
