The nation is keenly watching the proceedings of constitutional bench constituted by the honourable Supreme Court hearing petition which deals with the criminality or legality of unconventional carnal instincts. Whatever be the court verdict, I am tempted to discuss astrological pointers to all sorts of unconventional, erratic, and rebellious nature evident in some human beings. Experience suggests that in all such cases there remains an imbalance in energy construct of a being. Remember, all existence in the world is nothing but manifestation of energy streams playing through nature, all sourced to the primal-source. It is again a scientifically established fact that energy and matter are interconvertible. It implies that all existence are raised on energy platform. Taking cue from Australian physicist Paul Davies, what we see a solid frame of bone and flesh, remains at the sub-atomic level nothing but an inseparable web of vibrating energy patterns, all sourced to nature.
To have a generalised view of the energy map of nature, Astrology has grouped and marked energy streams reflecting varied characteristic features with one or other planet moving round the Sun. Based on long-drawn studies running through thousands of years, energies marked with various planets have been identified with one or other human attributes. For instance, the Sun stands for individuality of a being. Moon is marked with general mind-trends. Mercury relates to general intelligence and common sense. Mars stands for fire energy and fighting spirit. Jupiter signifies wisdom, sense of order and reasoning. Venus deals with emotionality and carnal instincts. Saturn relates to our Karmic calling. These are the planets available in our immediate galaxy. Over and above these, there are distant planets such as Uranus and Neptune. Whenever they extend support to other planets, one acquires extraordinary talent. But when they cross paths, they bring in all sorts of unconventionality, erratic behaviour, rebellious, as well as perverse tendencies.
Be it the case of ultras engaged in wanton killings in pursuance of their political view point. The fanatics trying to forcefully impose their religious beliefs on others. Or for that matter unconventional carnal urges in evidence. The common factor in all such cases has the been adverse role played by either Uranus or Neptune. They cross path with one or the other planets in our immediate galaxy.
If Uranus and Neptune cross paths with the Sun or Moon, it makes one unconventional, stuck to one’s self-delusional perceptions, not open to look beyond for the right lead. They are erratic and rebellious, and detest all established norms. If Mars and Saturn also join hands, one may not hesitate going for killing to force their whims and fancies on others. Jupiter locking horns with Neptune brings in peculiar beliefs. Mercury ill-disposed off accounts for erratic thought process. The ultras and fanatics are made out under the influence of the aforesaid planetary alignment.
In so far as unconventional carnal urges are concerned, Venus is found placed adverse to either Uranus or Neptune or both. The characters marked with this planetary alignment are the ones openly championing for their legal right to pursue their unnatural urges. And they seem to have lost all sense of reasoning when they cite the instance of some animals exhibiting similar sex mating. Are they ignorant of the fact that animals act on instincts. They lack discriminatory ability and so, no motive can be attached to their conduct. Human beings on the contrary, are armed with the faculty of discriminate intelligence, which enables them to dispassionately reason out their acts, and make a wilful choice. Therefore, they carry a motive. How can you lower down a human being, who happens to be on a relatively higher pedestal in evolutionary chain, to the scale of an animalIJ
I am not trying to raise any morality issue on this count. You enjoy the exclusive right to make right or wrong choices, for which anyway you will have to bear with the consequences thereof. So, that’s not a point of concern. I am just trying to draw attention to the design parameters underlying a human being. First, there are marked excretory and receptive organs in a being. Second, convergence of the corresponding opposites is creative and fulfilling. Third, union of similar sex, meaning those with similar energy polarity, will lead to energy imbalances in the mating partners with related bearing even on their health parameters. Defiance of these involuntarily evolved design parameters can on no count be termed as natural. You may decriminalise such acts in private, but you can’t legalise it and offer opportunity for celebration in public.
