enemy planets in astrology and what is the reason?



1. Jupiter and Venus are enemies.
Brihaspati (Jupiter) is Devaguru I.e the teacher of Devas and Sukracharya (Venus) is Asuraguru I.e the teacher of Asuras. Since, Devas and Asuras can't stand with each other; it's obvious their teachers too are anti of each other.
2. Sun and Saturn are enemies.
Suryadeva (Sun) had one wife Sandhya. But since Sun is hot in nature, Sandhya was afraid to go near him. So Sandhya created her shadow (Chhaya) and send her to Surya. With Chhaya, Surya had one son Shani (Saturn), but since the child was very dark in complexion; Surya refused to accept him as his son. So yes, technically they are father-son; and the hatred of Saturn for Sun in this case is justified.
3. Mars and Saturn are enemies.
Shani’s wife Damini had Mangala (Mars) dosha, which resulted her having higher sexual drive, on the other hand Shani (Saturn) is known for his discipline so he didn't cared about his wife and was busy in meditation of Lord Shiva. Damini felt insulted and she cursed her own husband. Saturn knew that it was the effect of Mars on his wife, thus he hated Mars after this incident.
4. Moon and Mercury are enemies.
It is believed that Brihaspati's wife Tara was fascinated by Chandra's (Moon) beauty, so much that they eventually started an affair. Out of this affair, Buddh (Mercury) was born. Though Moon and Jupiter doesn't hate each other, but Mercury couldn't accepted the fact that he was an illegitimate child, thus he hated his father Moon. This is the reason, Saturn and Mercury are best friends, because they both hate their fathers. Also, though Jupiter loves Mercury for his intelligence but Mercury doesn't really likes Jupiter and that's why he is debilitated in Pisces.
5. Rahu/Ketu and Moon/Sun are enemies.
During the Samudra Manthana, when the nectar came out of the ocean; Asuras were fighting to get it over Devas. Thus, Lord Vishnu took the form of Mohini and tricked them to let Devas have it before them. But there was one Asura, who doubted it and he changed his getup as a Deva and was in the line to get the nectar. Just when the nectar was going through his throat Chandra (Moon) and Surya (Sun) shouted that it was actually a Asura. Lord Vishnu immediately cut his head with his Sudarshana Chakra, but since the nectar was going through his throat, he didn't died but his body was separated from his head. The Trinity, didn't had any other option rather than making him and his body as shadow planets, thus Rahu and Ketu were created. Vishnu also granted Rahu the boon of swallowing Sun and Moon once in every year. It is believe that Solar and Lunar eclipse happens because of this, but since Rahu doesn't have any body, it doesn't lasts forever.

ketu & Moksha

 Ketu is the karaka for moksha, simply because it is the only planet out of the 9 used in Vedic astrology which craves only one thing, which is the 'amritam' or the nectar of immortality.   Rahu and Ketu are the head and torso of the demon Swarbhanu whose head was cut by Lord Vishnu at the time of churning of the milky ocean. Before his head was cut, Swarbhanu was able to gulp a little of the nectar, but it could not reach the body. So, the nectar could not get assimilated in the system. Lord Vishnu threw the head (Rahu) towards the north and the rest of the body towards the south. Ever since that time, they are always circling the sky always being 180 degrees apart from each other. What does this myth represent? It suggests that for liberation or moksha to happen, one needs to drink the'amritam' like the devas or the gods were able to, at the time of the churning of the ocean, but Swarbhanu could not. The question is why did Lord Vishnu not allow the demon Swar

saturn &sun

other day some one asked me as per mythological story in Astrology why SUN [surya] hates Saturn[shani] even though he suppose to be his own son In astrology, Sun represents the soul and Saturn represents fate. Soul's deepest desire is to know itself which is called Self-realization, but Saturn prevents it by making the embodied soul first repay it's karmik debt by taking birth on the earthy plane.Saturn clearly says you need to pay for the act you hav e done and there is no escape from it so Everything that is fated to happen in life is represented by Saturn as he is like the Chief Justice for incarnated souls. Without serving the sentence meted out to it by Saturn, an incarnated soul (Sun) cannot become liberated. This is the main reason why they are treated as enemies. In mythology Saturn is supposed to be born by the union of Sun with Chhaya (shadow, represented by the Rahu-Ketu axis in Vedic Astrology). Sun himself is so gloriously handsome while Saturn was dark, u

Ashlesha Nakshatra

As its direct translation, “entwiner” suggests, Ashlesha is symbolized by a coiled snake and its presiding deity is Sesha Naga, the Divine Serpent on whom Vishnu lies down. As a snake freezes its pray with a fiery gaze, these people   can capture and rise above competitors. In addition to its fierce nature, Ashlesha is ruled by Mercury and lies entirely within the sign of Cancer, ruled by the Moon. This combination of planets illuminates one’s cleverness, sharpness and intuition: strategize how to present an innovative idea at a meeting; to   plot something against your opponents; it   is   advisable to   study mystic subjects like Kundalini Yoga etc. Anything that has to do with fire or snakes is recommended, and any rituals related to these have more potency for   Ashlesha people . These   people are   not     good at   business or finances. Ashlesha’s Special Power : "Visasleshana shakti" means the power to inflict poison. Ashlesha people are expert at catchin
