Which combination or planetary position makes it possible to get help from a spiritual person and occult power?
The combinations for occult help and spiritual guidance
arise primarily through the linkage of houses of wisdom, spirituality, and
hidden powers:
- The
5th house and its lord – The 5th represents wisdom, mantra-shakti,
higher learning, and intuitive knowledge. Its significator is Jupiter,
the guru and guide.
- The
8th house and its lord – The 8th represents occult sciences,
esoteric learning, hidden forces, transformations, kundalini energy, and
initiation. Its natural significator is Saturn (for
austerities, endurance, and depth) and in some contexts Ketu
(moksha-karaka, spiritual detachment).
- The
9th house and its lord – The 9th is the house of dharma, divine
grace, gurus, initiation, and higher philosophy. Its significator is
also Jupiter.
Whenever there is a relationship between the 5th and 8th
houses (lords or significators), one finds the mind turning towards the
occult, mantra, tantra, and esoteric practices. If the 9th house also joins in,
the knowledge is guided by genuine gurus and spiritual persons rather than
remaining dark or misguided.
Role of Saturn and Kundalini
Saturn, as the natural significator of the 8th, governs
austerities, discipline, and suffering. It is also connected with the Mūlādhāra
chakra (root center) where the serpent-like kundalini energy lies
dormant. When awakened, this energy rises through the central channel (suṣumṇā)
activating the other chakras, eventually reaching the Ājñā (third eye)
chakra and culminating in the Sahasrāra, the thousand-petaled lotus
of divine realization.
- Saturn
– Mūlādhāra (Root chakra) – survival, discipline, endurance.
- Jupiter
– Svādhiṣṭhāna (Sacral chakra) – wisdom, creativity, subtle enjoyment.
- Mars
– Maṇipūra (Solar plexus) – power, will, transformation.
- Venus
– Anāhata (Heart chakra) – devotion, love, balance.
- Mercury
– Viśuddha (Throat chakra) – speech, mantra, expression.
- Sun
& Moon – Ājñā (Third eye) – illumination, intuition, union of ida
and pingalā.
- Sahasrāra
(Crown chakra) – beyond astrology, represents pure Brahman
realization.
Thus, the astrological framework of planets directly
reflects the yogic ladder of chakras, with the 8th house acting as the
gateway to this awakening.
Classical Insight (Rasa Shāstra & Tantric
Metaphysics)
According to Rasa Shāstra, the Kuṇḍalinī is
the coiled serpent sleeping at the root center near the “fire of time” (kālāgni).
She remains dormant in ordinary beings but awakens in yogins, marking the beginning
of samādhi and inner transformation.
- The rise
of Kuṇḍalinī corresponds to the sublimation of vital energy (bindu
or semen) into divine nectar at the cranial vault (amṛta),
associated with the mystic swan (haṃsa).
- Kuṇḍalinī
embodies both śakti (divine energy) and prakṛti (material force).
She can uplift a man to spiritual heights or drain him through indulgence,
symbolized as Bhogavatī – the feminine power of both enjoyment (bhoga)
and liberation (mokṣa).
Conclusion
The initial surge of spirituality and occult attraction
is indicated by the interplay of the 5th, 8th, and 9th houses, along
with the influence of Jupiter (wisdom), Saturn (austerity and root power),
and Ketu (mokṣa and occult detachment).
- A strong
5th–8th link → interest in mantras, tantra, and occult practices.
- A 9th
house connection → guidance by genuine spiritual mentors.
- Saturn’s
role → awakens austerity, discipline, and the kundalini at its root.
- Jupiter’s
grace → transforms this into true spiritual wisdom rather than misuse.
Hence, in astrology, the seeker finds help from spiritual
persons and occult forces when the wisdom of Jupiter (5th, 9th)
harmonizes with the hidden depth of Saturn and the 8th, guiding the rise
of the inner serpent power towards liberation.
