UTTARA PHALGUNI

( 146° 40' — 160°00')

Uttara Phalguni covers the last 3°20' of Leo and first ten degrees of Virgo. It operates under the planetary rulership of Sun and under the regency of the Vedic deity Aryamana. Both of them radiate powerful spiritual impulses which vivify the supreme power of the inner spirit and arouse intense desire to transcend materiality surrounding the egos. As the four quarters of the asterism are controlled by Jupiter and Saturn, the ego passing through it does not experience an easy life: its struggle is intensified and physical relationships with others become emotionally and mentally strained. All the planets acting at the asterism either as a whole (Sun) or on its different quarters namely Jupiter and Saturn as well as the Vedic deity Aryamana presiding over it provide such powerful impetus flowing through the constellation that the life is much charged with so much of energy that the life of the individual sometimes becomes instable. A kind of whirlwind rises in the individual's mind.

The Sun acts very deeply and is related with the innermost spirit in man. Under its impact the individual does not feel satisfied with anything less than perfect. At this stage the egoic consciousness veiled under spiritual ignorance, avidya, intuitively feels the unreality of existing conditions, but it is precluded from the clarity of sight and from the purity of solar radiance. The penetrative intellect acquired under the solar impulse gets besmirched by astro-mental sheaths and proclivities of past karmic accumulations. There are vague intonations from the Atomic level that there is a way out of the maze; the Ariadne’s thread to take him out of the labyrinth is however, not available to him. A state of bewilderment therefore arises and the ego is baffled at the dilemma. Aryamana enters under such a situation to resolve the

stalemate and to guide the traveller on his path.

Aryamana’s special task at this stage is to save the traveller be set with conflict and despondency. He saves the individual from breakdown. He manages the conditions in such a manner that the individual’s inner strength is revived. Aryamana illumines the mind, provides insight into Truth and removes despondency.* Aryamana is one Lord Krishna acted like such a guide to Arjuna on the battlefield of Kurukshetra during the Mahabharata war, of the four Guardians of light, the other three being Bhaga, Varuna and Mitra who protect the travellers to Supreme Delight. He is one of the twelve Adityas (+) possessing solar radiance; he is also a Pitri, and an Ancestor, who has himself traversed the path and knows its ordeals, pitfalls and snares which frequently confront the travellers on their way. His power to guide the explorer is immense. His guidance leads to the realisation of the unreal nature of egotism. When Aryamana has imparted his knowledge and the same is imbibed by the individual, he (Aryamana) bestows wisdom, joy, vast expansion of consciousness and irresistible power to meet the ordeals on the path. Himself being primarily a guide to the traveller, Aryamana arouses the desire to explore and discover the purpose of life and for this attainment he gives encouragement and insight. The very
