Propitiate & Pacify the "9 Planets", the Divine Beings in Vedic Astrology who Remember & Enact Our Karma

One of the most important archetypal and symbolic acts you can do to heal and clear your life is to regularly energetically connect with, appease, and propitiate the 9 Planets.

For the first time in my work, we will be performing a 9-Planet Peace Remedy (also known as "Navagraha Shanti").  The 9 Planets in Vedic Astrology are the prime graspers and enactors of your past-life karma.  The hold the consciousness of your unresolved karma, and bring it up into your life over the course of lifetime after lifetime, until you heal and clear it.  It is vitally important to work with sacred clearing rituals to regularly convert planetary curses (the remnants of past-life karma that hinder and block you) into planetary blessings (that support the highest expression of your life).

In Vedic Astrology, the 9 planets are called the agents of karma, and are said to carry out or execute our karma on a daily basis.

The placements of the 9 planets in our birthcharts, and their daily movements throughout our lives bring forth the karma we are destined to endure, based on the natural energetic laws of cause and effect established in our past lives.

So, according to this philosophy, even if we try our best, and try to develop our unique potential, if we do not have the support of the planets, we will not be able to succeed -- or success will cost us something else we need.  For instance, we may succeed financially, but our relationships may suffer.  Or we may get promoted to a higher rank in our job, but our health will suffer.

In fact, one of my spiritual teachers has said "If you don't have the support of the Planets, your talents are useless.  Therefore it is essential in life to propitiate the planets and get their blessings".

My teacher also said that it is not possible to outrun your karma through meditation or development of spiritual presence alone.  He talked about great masters such as Ramana Maharshi who had high levels of enlightening consciousness achieved through meditation, but who, for instance, died very painful deaths, or early deaths, because they thought planetary remedies were superstitious and unimportant, and never worked with the planets to resolve their karma.

Though there are many ways of looking at karma, or looking at what is stored in the subconscious that helps or hinders us, I have found the 9 planet framework we have inherited from the ancient yogis of India to be a powerful and useful one for understanding karma.

Beyond trying to have merely an intellectual understanding of the 9 planets, it is immensely more important to work with them energetically, so that you can requalify that which is currently a "curse" (bad karma) into a blessing (good karma).

There is an entire remedial tradition within the larger tradition of Vedic Astrology.  For those who have the good fortune of even hearing about planetary remedies, it becomes important and essential work for healing your life, fixing problems, clearing every sort of block, and clearing the path forward in your life so you can prosper, heal, and succeed with the unfettered support of the Universe.

So I have decided to start regularly facilitating group clearing sessions that focus on all 9 planets in a single clearing session.  In the Vedic Tradition, this type of work is referred to as "Navagraha Shanti", meaning a ritual that helps pacify all 9 planets, converting planetary curses into planetary blessings.

What this translates to, practically for you, is that these remedial clearing sessions take a broad brush across the spectrum of consciousness, clearing karma and creating greater support from the Universe for who you are, your gifts, your purpose, your relationships, and your prosperity.

In this remedy series, we will be directly working with only the traditional 9 planets of Vedic Astrology.  This does not technically include more recently discovered planets such as Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto.  However, the original energetic framework of the 9 planet of Vedic Astrology already includes the energies of these higher octave planets.
