The Lunar Messenger Sagittarius Full Moon 2009 "Jupiter, the Principle of Expansion
Introduction: The fire sign of Sagittarius represents the noble qualities and high aspirations of man and the path of the soul, back to its source. When we use their energies correctly for spiritual work, it brings an expansion of consciousness. The ruler of this sign is Jupiter. That is why the theme of this month's Lunar Messenger is: "Jupiter, the Principle of Expansion."
The Energy of Synthesis
There is a power in the order of things. The proper order makes the energies circulate freely; It produces balance and opens the door to the upper worlds. If the balance is disturbed, all life is disturbed. When the balance concerning health is disturbed, health and well-being leave. Wealth, peace, and harmony are lost as soon as balance is lost. The planets in the Solar System, the various solar systems and galaxies, exist only due to the balance that is maintained in existence, thanks to the energy of synthesis. This energy holds the universe together; Create order, structure and grouping. It is also called the energy of the second ray and in relation to our solar system, the energy of Jupiter. "Jupiter unites and binds in friendship, " says Master Djwhal Khul.
On the cosmic plane, this principle is called Ganesha or Ganapati in the East. It is located in the constellation called Hasta, in Virgo, and is shaped like an elephant head. Hasti is the Sanskrit name for the elephant. This elephant-headed deity is worshiped as the Lord of groups, wealth and wisdom. He influences our Earth through the planet Jupiter. In India, Jupiter's energy is invoked in the form of Ganesha to transform unfavorable energies into auspicious ones. Especially when there are afflictions to Jupiter, whether in the natal chart or in the progression, we can avoid negative effects by meditating on Ganesha's symbolism. It is interesting that the elephant is under the regency of Jupiter and symbolizes beings of light, initiated, Masters of Wisdom. The elephant shows the greatness and fullness of Jupiter's energy. If we show an elephant to a child, he enjoys the vision of the elephant.
The symbol of Jupiter is the triangle within a circle with a point in the center. His number is three; In the letter, he is working especially through the aspects of the trills. A Jupiter cycle takes 12 years and leads through the experience of all 12 sun signs. Its stone is topaz, its color is blue, but also golden yellow and honey color. The symbol and colors help us connect with Jupiter's vibration.
The vibration of sound related to Jupiter's energy is GAM. Contemplation in this sound is recommended when the mind is confused and complicates our lives and those of others. Then this sound helps to reorganize and group our thinking models and thus promotes balance. When we achieve internal order, energies can flow freely and external obstacles disappear. A man with a good Jupiter energy has the right ideas at the right time and proceeds in the right way.
Jupiter, the Master
However, there are instincts in us that do not allow us to do what we know. We know many things that we think we should do. We listen to them since childhood, but our problem is the gap between what we know and what we do. These impulses and instincts make us do things that we know are not good. The obstacles in us are shown in the natal chart and when given an opportunity, they manifest. We can overcome these conditioning very easily with the help of a teacher. Jupiter is the teacher and the Master of Wisdom. It is not by doing, but by his magnetic presence that a sage causes the transformation in us, so that we gain control over our instincts. The presence of the teacher allows the student to achieve the experience of the Self, the Word of Truth.
The Sanskrit name for Jupiter and for the teacher is Guru. It means the biggest. Jupiter, the Guru, transmits impressions of higher circles and elevates the disciple by initiating him into work with sound, because Jupiter works through sound. In the solar system, Jupiter is the largest planet. In benevolence and magnanimity, Jupiter is also the greatest. Through his transits, he visits us many times in our lives and continues to offer us opportunities for initiations. But in most cases, we do not take advantage of them because we are not prepared for them. The correct preparation demands the work rhythm, order and the correct work with the Word to gain internal purity
The best month for the use of Jupiter's energy for spiritual practice is Sagittarius. This is the reason why in the Bhagavad Gita, Krishna says: "Between the months, I am the month of Sagittarius." Mercury rules the opposite month, in Gemini. When Mercury and Jupiter, knowledge and wisdom, agree, expansions related to consciousness can be gained. Any aspect in trills or sextiles between Mercury and Jupiter, in the natal chart or in the progressed horoscope, are favorable occasions to be initiated into the Word.
The Muladhara
Ganesha, the cosmic principle of Jupiter, is considered the Lord of the base center, the Muladhara. In Eastern examples, an elephant is represented in the middle of the Muladhara. However, at the same time Saturn represents the Muladhara, while Jupiter rules the center of the head. Jupiter and Saturn are a pair of opposite energies: Jupiter represents expansion and penetration, Saturn represents contraction. Saturn ties us to matter, Jupiter frees us. Saturn does not allow Jupiter to expand forever. Jupiter does not allow Saturn to destroy everything. In balance with Jupiter, Saturn ensures the consolidation of the expansion. He gives way to Jupiter when we have learned the necessary lessons.
Ganesha is worshiped with the sound of GAM in the Muladhara so that the expansion begins. It is like an elephant that is imprisoned in a hut too small and breaks it. The spirit tied to matter is released and ascends. Thus Saturn as Lord of the Muladhara is replaced by Jupiter. Every time we sing the OM we can ask Master Jupiter to descend to Muladhara and transform the prison into a mobile temple.
Generosity
The generosity towards the surrounding life attracts the energies of Jupiter. When we get in touch with Jupiter, we get to feel generosity. Benevolence and charity help to get out of blocked states. Giving is an aspect of Jupiter, and when we learn to give with discrimination, we will know who to give, how, where and how much to give, with money as much as with other things. A good look with Jupiter will allow us to get money without much effort. While with a worldly man the aspects of Jupiter deal only with money, food, comfort and social activities, the same good aspect of Jupiter helps us in the ascending trajectory, getting closer and closer to the Master.
Master Djwhal Khul says that we can express a lot of love through money and with money we can also give things a good order, because Jiter can lead to synthesis. If we reject good money, if we do not respect it or use it correctly, we have not yet correctly understood the principle of J piter. It is an important aspect of life that allows the transformation of things and effective service.
J piter brings comforts to life. It is not a virtue to deprive ourselves of comforts to appear virtuous; We do not become spiritual in this way. Master CVV, a Master of J piter, said: Do not reject comforts ; If we reject them, we will be rejected. The proper attitude towards the vibration of J piter requires feeling comfort in every situation without letting ourselves be conditioned by it.
Pushkara
The energy of the 7th plane of the earth, the most spiritual plane, is called Pushkara. This energy visits the planet along with the rotation of J piter. When J piter visits a sun sign, he consequently visits a part of the planet and spiritualizes the surroundings of this part of the planet. Ancient seers visualized the visit of Pushkara energy to each sun sign, with respect to places in India. Such visualizations could also be made with respect to other places and nations. When JÃ © piter passes through the sign of Virgo, we can say that Pushkara energies visit Switzerland; in Sagittarius, to Spain; in Aries or in G minis, to Germany. When the energy of the 7th plane visits us in a certain center, the corresponding energies can be rearranged more easily.
