defence system. Mars energises metabolism, sharpens vision, and sustains

and reproductive health. |
Jupiter is the great nourisher: the liver as the seat of
wisdom in metabolism, the pancreas as the regulator, spleen as immune expansion.
Moon cools and protects: its moisture lining in the
stomach prevents excess bile from burning tissues.
Venus refines and harmonises: kidneys filter, the endocrine system balances hormones, and reproduction sustains lineage.
Mars defends and transforms: bile burns food into
energy, marrow produces immunity, nerves transmit sharp signals.
This mapping shows how planets are not just cosmic forces
but inner archetypes:
Jupiter = Guru of nourishment
Moon = Mother of fluids
Venus = Artist of balance and reproduction
Mars = Warrior of digestion and immunity
