A peep into Planets.
Let us start
with the SUN
The ‘King’ of
all planets,
He symbolizes the vital forces
He represents
the ‘soul’,
By nature, he
is cruel
By caste, he is
Kshatria, with golden reins.
Next cat-walks
on the ramp madam MOON
The ‘beauty queen’
among the planets,
She symbolizes
the ‘mind’
And represents
feelings, emotions and passion
By nature, she
is fickle
By caste, she
is ‘Vaisya’ with silver sash.
Enter amid
tight security- JUPITER
The ‘Prime
Minister’ in solar system,
He symbolizes material
and spiritual matters
He represents
wisdom and happiness
By nature he is
benefic
By caste, he’s
‘Brahmin’, having honey eyes.
Now trumpets
herald the entry of MARS
The
Commander-in-Chief in full uniform,
He symbolizes
war and military affairs
And represents
courage and physical strength.
By nature, he
is cruel and malefic
By caste, he is
‘Kshatriya’, wearing many medals.
Next walks in
with poise and grace – VENUS
The comely ‘goddess
of love’,
She symbolizes artistry,
beauty, sensuality and style.
She represents
lust and passion
By nature she
is benefic,
By caste, she
is ‘Brahmin’ with instincts feminine.
Then follows
the fast-moving Prince MERCURY
The ‘Messenger
of the gods’,
He symbolizes
the power of commanding other planets,
He represents
the mind and the intellect.
By nature, he
is either benefic or malefic,
By caste, he is
‘Shudra’, and ironically impotent!
Lastly peeps through
the horizon- SATURN
The stern task-master
and teacher,
He symbolizes
system, order and persistence
He represents
discipline, discretion and faithfulness;
By nature, he
is malefic,
By caste, he is
low-born but most feared planet.
