This is also the symbolism behind Ashta Lakshmi.( the eight aspects of the
Goddess of Prosperity).
Yoga is eightfold – Yama, Niyama, Asana, Pranayama, Pratyahara, Dharana,
Dhyana & Samadhi. Yama and Niyama deal with rules and regulations , Asana
deals with physical fitness, Pranayama is breath control, Pratyahara is
withdrawal into the Self from the sensory world, Dharana is Concentration,
Dhyana is Meditation and Samadhi is Cosmic Consciousness.

Saturnine Influence on Jesus
Jesus was born with Virgo rising, Jupiter, Moon and Saturn in Pisces,
indicating the Messiah willing to bear the Cross of Golgotha. His number
was 888 which when added gives us 24 and 2+4 = 6, the number of Venus,
the planet of Love. The prophet of Love was indeed the embodiment of
the goddess of Love, Venus. Saturn, the significator of sorrow and
liberation,along with Jupiter aroused in Him the desire to redeem the
world through Universal Love. His suffering life & martyrdom all smacks
of Saturnine influence. Other divine personalities – Tagore, Aurobindo &
Vivekananda also had a profound Saturnine influence in their natal
charts.
In the next article we will deal with the Nineians – those who are ruled by
the planet of materiality or Man, Mars.
