VIBRATIONS OF COLOURS

Colours are linked with the five elements of the nature Fire, Air, Earth, Water and Space and the seasons in the year. Each planet and each sign of the Zodiac is assigned a specific colour. Similarly the metals, food grains and gems etc., are also known by colours.

The importance of colour therapy is gaining significance. These facts emphasise the importance that colours play in our daily life. The apparent colour of an object depends upon the wave length of the light that its reflects. 

What colour you like best? It may be your vibratory colour and it may be taken as a clue to know your natural traits.

Each colour has a specific characteristic.

The following colours are assigned to the planets and the signs and week days rules by them:

1. Red (Coral) -  Mars  -  Aries & Scorpio  -  Tuesday

2. Green (Emerald)  -  Mercury  -  Gemini  -  Wednesday

3. Rose/Orange (Ruby)  -  Sun  -  Leo  -  Sunday

6. White(Diamond)  -  Venus  -  Taurus & Libra  -  Friday

7. Blue (B.Sapphire)  -  Saturn  -  Capricorn  -  Saturday

It is a common practice to wear the gems of the planets on the week days presided over by the planets. Dresses of a particular colour can also be worn to be in harmony with the nature.

RED

Red colour is assigned to Mars who rules the signs Aries & Scor pio. Mars is the planet for energy, force, courage, spirit, fire and passion. But impulsive action, hastiness, anger, combative ness. arguments, aggressive and adamant nature and domination are some some of the negative trends of Mars. It governs the nead, brain, face, nose, forehead, muscles, bladder, anus and the external sex organ in the body. It causes burs, cuts, boils, fever, headache, ruptures, accidents, wounds, bleeding, men struation, and diseases related to brain, muscles, anus, bladder, urinary system and generative organs. The red rays can supply the things deficit in the body and the boldness, vitality and spirit needed for action; they can regulate the circulation of bolld and cure diseases in the organs governed by Mars. Red is not always dangerous, though the red signal indicates danger. When a dignitary arrives, we give him redcarpet reception when a fortunate event happens, we record it as a red letter day. Red is the symbol of revolution and communism, and also energy, force and strength. Red is of use in all inflammatory diseases and the patient recovers soon if he is kept in a room arranged with red clothes, lights, carpets and paints.

If your favourite colour is red, you are active, intelligent, energetic, bold, independent, selfconfident, ready to step into action, capable of inspiring or leading others, but at time subject to fits of anger, impulsive, uncompromising, egotistic, aggressive and dominating. You wish to be recognised and flattered.  

ORANGE

Orange is one of the most attractive colours assigned to SUN, as it resembles the colour of the Rising Sun, with Red and Yellow shades. This colour signifies dignity, nobility, sociable na ture, high aspirations, real love, friendship, impressive man ners, patronising element, liberal attitude, good heart, competi tive spirit, pride, ambition, inventive ability, love of games, arts, sports, pleasures and strong desire for recognition, popularity and superiority. If orange is your favourite colour, you are jovial, sociable, generous intelligent, patronising and fond of art, beauty games and pleasures. You should love others if you want to be loved by them, and you should not be carried away by flattering and false prestige.

BLACK

Black is generally treated as a bad colour indicative of sorrow, evil, danger and failure. A black flag is a symbol for protest and resentment. But in fact it is a colour of dignity, formali ty, justice, respect, piousness, simplicity withour any show and spiritualism. That is why priests, judges, lawyers and graduated students wear black dress. It has a soothing influence.

Brown colour stands for firmness, definite purpose, stability, good grasp and understanding, practical approach, plain, simple and normal behaviour. The brown rays help to increase the power of concentration and understanding.

The Sunlight is the source of all life

The visible Sunlight which is a combination of seven colors gets manifested in violet, indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange and red (VIBGYOR). These colors travel in different wave lengths with varying energy intensities.

The Sunlight is the source of all life in the biosphere and it is responsible for all the biogeochemical cycles in the environment of the earth which sustains all the plant and animal life including the life of human beings. The main driver of energy is the Sun from where the color waves originate.

In all astrological treaties, the significance of color was emphasized for astrological remedies.

In Vedic astrology, the fundamental subject of research is the role of navgrahas (nine planets) in the horoscope which are said to govern the entire life of the native from birth till death and beyond. The reflected and emitted color rays provide a distinctive appearance to a particular planet.

The color of the Sun is a combination of orange and red. 

The Moon is pale white but it reflects the orange red rays of the Sun.

Mars is of red color but it also reflects the yellow rays of the Sun.

Mercury is of green color and reflects green rays.

Jupiter is of orange-yellow color but reflects mainly blue rays of the spectrum.

Venus is considered to be pure white but it also reflects indigo rays of the spectrum.

Saturn is of black color and reflects violet rays of the Sun.

The two shadow planets Rahu and Ketu have also been assigned colors in Vedic astrology.

Rahu is considered to be black while Ketu is brown.

Sun: Since the color of Sun is red, the strengthening of Sun in the horoscope of an individual should be done with red flowers or saffron-color items. The recommended stone is ruby which is also red. This color represents energy and power. It also shows vitality and creativity. However, excess of red is harmful. Therefore, the weight of the gemstone has to be carefully decided. This color is not recommended to be used for people who have heart trouble.

Moon: It is pale white. This color contains all the seven colors of the spectrum and has purifying properties. It influences the thought process and leads towards virtue and spirituality. However, excess of white is also not good. The astrological methods for strengthening the Moon in the horoscope revolve around white items like white flowers (white lotus, jasmine, lily etc), milk, curd, rice flour, white sandalwood etc and among the gems white pearl is prescribed.

Mars: The red color Mars emits slightly yellowish rays. The difference between Sun red and Mars red is that the red in Sun indicates royalty while the red in Mars indicates violence. The redness of Mars associates with the RBC (red blood cells). Deficiency of Mars red can cause blood-related problems while the excess of red can be a cause of accidents and excessive aggression. For treatment of Mars-related problems red or yellow color is prescribed. The gems prescribed are red coral and pink coral. Prescribed herbs and grains are red lentil, ashwagandha (winter cherry), turmeric and onions which coincide with its fiery nature.

Mercury: This planet is of green color and this color stands for balance, harmony and hope. It has the capacity to calm down agitated nerves and mind. Therefore, this color is good for people suffering from heart problems. This is also good for pregnant women. Excess of greens can cause lethargy. Since, Lord Vishnu is symbolized by Mercury, green color basil leaves (tulsi) are recommended for Mercury-related problems.

Jupiter: The color of Jupiter is yellow or yellowish orange. The effects of both these colors are generally positive. This is, therefore, a benefic planet. Its color has a warming effect and energizes the nervous system. The yellowness produces stimulating effect on intellect. The compatible items for treatment of Jupiter-related problems are ashwagandha and other yellow flowers. Nuts like almonds, walnuts and cashews are also prescribed. The compatible gemstone for Jupiter is yellow sapphire and yellow topaz.

Venus: The color is pure white which is a combination of all colors of spectrum. Moon is pale white but Venus is bright white. The effects of the white color are the same as in Moon but Moon represents simplicity while Venus represents sophistication. The compatible items for treatment of Venus related problems are rose, saffron, jasmine, lotus, lily, white musali (Asparagus adscendens), amalaki (Emblica officinalis), aloe gel (Aloe Vera) etc. The compatible gem stone is diamond.

Saturn: The color of Saturn is black. This color is caused by the absence of light. The rays emitted by Saturn are of violet color. Black is a calming color for agitated persons and is also known for its protective properties. There are negative qualities also like resistance, obstruction, opposition, and enmity. Excess of black is a cause of depression. The compatible items for treating Saturn-related problems are generally of black color like, black sesame, urad, triphala (herbs including amalaki, bibhitaki and haritaki), iron etc. The compatible gemstone is blue sapphire which is highly risky to recommend because of the fiery nature of the planet.

Rahu: This shadow planet is regarded as smoky or black in color. The compatible items for treatment are camphor, bayberry, eucalyptus, sandalwood, lotus etc. Gomedha (hessonite garnet) is the recommended gemstone for Rahu-related issues.

Ketu: This shadow planet is generally considered brown in color. Brown color is not the original color of the spectrum. The compatible items for treating Ketu-related problems are bayberry, wild ginger, juniper, bhringaraj, skullcap, passion flower etc. The recommended gemstone is cat's eye (chrysoberyl family).

Positive Vaastu Aura can heal your home

Weak Vaastu or absent Aura (Vaastu Mandala) around and in your home happens to many people, because they do not know about this vital fact, and are unaware as to how to protect their homes, offices and premises from evil and negative forces.

Our environment has all sorts of energies, including the negative ones. Fear, anger, depression, negative people, heated arguments and evil eye on your home may easily damage the peace and happiness of your home. Negativity in any form can also damage the Aura of your Vaastu. It is also capable of badly harming the human energy field.

Vaastu Dosha may also occur due to inconsistent gravity, wrong wind flows, inconsistent temperature, inconsistent magnetic field, radiations of magnetic poles, geomagnetic lines, geopathic stress, environmental stress, electromagnetic radiations and Shalya Dosha.

There are three types of Vaastu Dosha, which may harm your peace and may also damage the Aura of your Vaastu - Manmade Vaastu Dosha, Natural Vaastu Dosha and Ghosts & Evil Spirits.

One needs to understand the concept of Energy Field of your Homes. It is an cosmo-magnetic energy field around your home which is not visible to most people, but it can be instinctively sensed or experienced by experts.

1. Guggal Dhoop:

You should offer Guggal Dhoop to each and every part of your home. It removes environmental stress.

2. Spray Salty Water:

You should spray salty water in each and every area of your home, on a regular basis. The salt absorbs all negative vibrations from air. This remedy can be performed twice a week. You must wash your hands after using this Salty Spray. It performs a thorough cleansing process, and purifies your home environment.

3. Worship Lord Rudra:

The best and the most powerful technique of defense is mentioned in Atharva Veda, Hymn 27, Book II.

God Rudra is called "the Lord of Healing" and “Protector”; In Atharva Veda, Hymn 90, Book VI., he is asked to cure evil and poisonous forces and in Hymn 57, Book VI., to cure a wound (physical, emotional and psychic). Worshiping Lord Rudra, the ultimate benefactor, can surely help you get protection against all evil forces. It helps open Karmic Doors and removes Karmic Obstacles.

4. Healing with Mantras:

A mantra is a tremendous force of positive energy. According to the science of Mantra, the armors (kavach) of different deities are...Lakshmi Kavach, Durga kavach, Shiva Kavach, Ram Kavach, Hanumat kavach etc....which should be recited by each and every family member of a family at the designated Pooja Room in the home. It empowers and regenerates powerful and positive forces.

5. Healing through Visualization: Generally, the following techniques should be visualized between your eye brows (Third Eye Chakra).

• Brahman Sthan (Center Point) and North – East areas of your homes are considered as the energy generators. Sit quietly in a comfortable position, allowing your breathing to settle into a deep, slow rhythm.

• Imagine your home's outer surface is surrounded by a blue circle.

• Think about your Guru, Spiritual Angels or God.

• Let yourself visualize each and every area of your home.

• Imagine your family members sitting, standing or perhaps performing their tasks.

• The words you speak or visualize will spread in the environment of your home. Hence, Ganesha suggests that you always speak positives words and think positive thoughts when you are at home.

One can use following affirmations while visualizing the protection technique -

My home is divinely safe and we feel protected.

We are always guided, guarded, and protected by positive, sage and benign forces.

My home is divinely protected against evil forces.

My family members are blessed and highly favored by our God.

I am divinely protected, guided, and strengthened.

Nowadays, implementations of Vaastu principles are not so easy, due to the limitations of ready-made constructions of homes and offices. It is very complicated to adjust number of flats / offices in one complex, location of lifts, its common walls for adjacent flats, and angular distance of relevant main doors. But, if one follows meticulously the principles of Vaastu while selecting the plot/ house and construction of building, then satisfactory results can be obtained in majority of cases. However, if that's not possible, follow the aforementioned remedies to get good results.

Venus to make final trip for the century

Astronomy Transits of Venus are among the rarest of astronomical phenomena.

Venus will pass directly between the sun and the earth, on June 6th 2012.

On June 6, Indians will be able to witness a spectacle called the ‘transit of Venus’. This is the last transit that Venus will make for this century...the next one will only be visible in the year 2117.

Transits of Venus are among the rarest of predictable astronomical phenomena. They occur in a pattern that repeats every 243 years, with the pairs of transits eight years apart separated by long gaps of 121.5 years and 105.5 years.

The transit of Venus occurs when Venus passes directly between the sun and the earth and obscures a small portion of the solar disk. While this is much like a solar eclipse, Venus, which is almost four times the size of the moon, appears smaller and moves more slowly across the face of the sun, as it is much farther away from the earth. Venus will be seen as a small black disc moving across the sun.

Venus is shrouded in mystery and astrologically has a huge impact on you. Venus rules the arts, wealth and material bliss. At the same time, Venus is a teacher. He holds the secrets of manifestation and the mysteries of the life and death process. Venus has a deep connection with all Goddesses and is indicative of Kundalini and Sexuality.

• This rare transit of Venus will bring good fortune and benefits to all. The following Moon Signs will benefit the most: Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces. 
• People can overcome/remove a lot of Karmas and Doshas (Sins, Curses) on this day. On June 6th IST obtain the blessings and guidance of a Spiritual Guru. 
• People who develop new friendships on transition day will be immensely benefited. They will be blessed to obtain help and support from their new friends.

This is not a day to go on spiritual retreat. Make sure you get out of the house and meet people, attend a network business function.

The entire transit of Venus will be visible from eastern Asia, eastern Australia, north western North America, the Arctic and North Pacific Ocean. While unfortunately the beginning of the event will not be visible in India as it will begin before sunrise, the last two phases of transit can be seen for about 17 minutes comfortably. This is one of the most rare and exciting celestial events. There are four phases during a transit: two at the start (ingress) and two at the finish (egress).

The safest way to observe a transit is to project the image of the sun through a telescope, binoculars, or pinhole onto a screen,.

Jupiter's move into Taurus on MAY 17th

Jupiter's move into Taurus on MAY 17th,  gives a chance to improve financially.

Jupiter rules wealth and education while Taurus rules material comforts and luxury. So Jupiter can increase our level of wealth and can also give us a new understanding of wealth and how to increase it.

We are all affected by this transit unfortunately most will not even notice it.

In the 3rd week of May astrologically:

• 6 planets will be in Taurus. Sun, Ketu, Venus, Moon, Mercury and Jupiter. 
• This year Jupiter or Saturn change signs with-in 24 hours of each other. 
• A Solar Eclipse occurs on May 20th IST. Good time for meditation and spiritual practices

The effects of above events really depend on your birth chart, in general with Jupiter's benevolent influence, it means most will see improvements. However, for some difficulties will increase.

Jupiter, Sun, Ketu and Moon are all planets that affect our mind and intelligence as well as our ability to learn. All four planets sitting together in Taurus will allow Jupiter to teach us about wealth and create a new understanding within us about the relationship of wealth and spirit.

Recovery of Wealth on Akshaya Tritiyai April 24h 2012

April 24th of this year is an astrologically significant and important festival for wealth called Akshaya Tritiyai. It is the 3rd moon in the house of Aries.

Akshaya means "not decreasing". This is a time when you nurture and cultivate the concept of non-declining or non-decreasing wealth.

On this day, if you are able to actively engage in this moment and capture it in your own body mind and soul, it will be very useful to help you gather wealth and keep wealth. Taking the right action at the right time gives you maximum positive results.

The planetary combination on April 24th forms a wheel, which translates to “what was lost will come back to you".

Think of what was lost, 1) loans given and never returned, 2) poor investments, 3) wastage, 4) Money cheated from you, etc. Make sure you get the money back that you are due – the banker in heaven, Kubera has excellent records.

Lakshmi will be giving you the blessings of never decreasing wealth.

Blessings from our ancestors are very important for the protection and success in all activities. Provide your deceased family members with continuous happiness and well-being in the afterlife. Show your respect towards them and reinforce the unity of your family and lineage.


Akshaya means never diminishing. Many things happened  on this day: Draupadi was given Akshaya Patra (bowl) by Krishna which supplied unlimited food; Kubera, treasurer of gods, prayed to Lakshmi, goddess of wealth, to fill his treasury; Parashurama, the sixth incarnation of Vishnu, was born; Satya yuga ended and Treta yuga began; the Ganga descended from Heaven; Ved Vyasa and Ganesha began writing the epic Mahabharata; and Sudama, the poor friend of Krishna, came to Dwarka to ask for help. In return for a handful of beaten rice, Krishna gave immense wealth to Sudama. Gates of the Badrinarayana temple open on this day. Construction of chariots for the Jagannath rath yatra at Puri commences.  Jains observe fast and break it with sugarcane juice as king-turned-monk Rishabhdeva was offered sugarcane juice after an year-long fast. So the belief is that worshipping Lakshmi-Kubera, buying gold and silver ornaments, investing money in shares and real estate, buying household things, ploughing land, writing new account books – will all bring prosperity.

Venus planet gives us Art and Relationships

During 2012  Let Venus Create the Relationships You Desire
 
Venus is moving extra slow so he will stay in Taurus for 4 months instead of 1 month. This is a rare astrological occurrence where you can get the Venus boost to support your affirmations and dreams of fulfilling relationships and creative expressions.



To get the most out of this lovely Venus gift, a good energetic spring cleaning is needed so you can create the positive space in your life. There are two powerful karma clearing events occurring this week.

First is a thirteenth moon or Pradosham event - Pradosham times are the windows of opportunity to remove karma or karmic energies that limit our potential in this current life. It is the time that Shiva absorbs the karma from people. According to Hindu belief, Lord Shiva swallowed poison that was going to destroy humanity.

Second event is Easter - where we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ who died on the cross so he could take on the sins of humanity.
In both of the above cases, we have God directly intervening and taking on the karma of the world.
