Astro Analysing Kundalini Yoga

In every human being there is source of divine energy called kundalini which mainly remains in dormant state in the individual, but when the kundalini energy arises and awake the seeker make rapid progress in the field of spirituality.

There are many similarities between microcosm's human body and macrocosm entire universe. All elements, all things present in universe are also present in the physical body. The planets and celestial bodies exert astrological vibrations upon our physical body which further influence our personality and spirituality. In a layman language we can say that at subconscious level the solar system is our larger body and the human body acts as a miniature solar system.

According to Indian astrology the essence of soul is influenced by the placement and power of Sun in the horoscope. Moon affects the mind, Mars influences the blood, Mercury affects speech and intellect, Jupiter denotes knowledge, Venus linked with seminal fluid and Saturn is the agent of mysterious experiences in the life.

The seat of kundalini is the point where Capricorn and Aquarius meet in the Root chakra where as the sign Leo and Cancer intersect at the Third eye or Ajna chakra. The psychic kundalini passage is denoted by the nodal axis with North Pole as Root chakra and South Pole as Ajna chakra.
