Astrological Mythology The Meaning of ... - Mandhata Global

Even passive energy can be highly electrifying, which is the basic nature of
Aries within whose field both these asterisms function.
Yama, the god of death ruling this asterism, can be interpreted in two ways.
One meaning of the word is the deity itself, the other is a yogic term. Yama
refers to various yogic practices, disciplines and observances (Yamas and
Niyamas) through which our inner nature is harnessed and energized. In
both senses, Yama refers to the means which enable new life-forces to
permeate the physical form. As the god of death, Yama directs the life-force
towards a new birth for the soul. When the old form becomes decrepit and
unable to manifest the soul further, the god of death Yama enables us to
detach from the old form to assume a new one. In this sense, Yama is the
deity providing suitable channels for a more efficient flow of life-energy.
The central purpose of yogic practices like breath control or observances of
truthfulness and non-violence, is to cleanse the physical form of the being so
that the spiritual forces can flow freely into it. These yogic practices are
similar to the rejuvenating process occurring at the time of death. The
difference is that in Yoga the process is assumed voluntarily while at death it
occurs involuntarily.
Bharani thereby indicates the passive potentiality capable of providing the
essential environment where the different kinds of life-forces can fructify.
The female sex organ is not so much a channel for the satisfaction of
personal sex craving as a means for providing nourishment for the future
expression of the life-force. It is a center of energy where evolutionary and
generative processes can fructify and prosper.
Bharani is the productive zone of Aries where originality and impulsiveness
are much in action. Bharani provides impetus for new forms of
manifestation to concretize, or for the actualization of any concept.
Psychologically, the attraction which the female sex represents to the male
has an element of the unknown within it, a kind of darkness: this unknown
realm of darkness is ruled by Yama, the god of death. It is this unknown
aspect behind all creative energy, which springs from the deepest layer of
being, that is the passive or Shakti principle. This element is the real
fountain of all inspiration which transcends all known laws of logic. In
ordinary human beings, the sudden downpour of universal energy is often
expressed as human love, which is generally blind. Bharani is not so much
rationality as emotion, or action under cosmic forces.
In predictive astrology, Bharani makes the person very sensitive. The
individual registers the slightest expression of kindness and helpfulness. He
keeps in his heart any distasteful treatment given to him. He is often restless,
impatient and uncharitable with those individuals and activities that do not
