The ninth sign of
the Zodiac is Sagittarius, dual fiery sign of Sattwik nature symbolized by a hybrid
of which the lower part is of horse and the upper part of man having in hands
bow and arrow directed upwards. The significance of this symbol is that in the
creation, the being crossing the stage of animal-hood attained manhood with the
fixed target moving in the upward direction for attaining godhood. The seed of
the creation lies in the fixed fiery sign Leo ruled by the Sun, the origin of
terrestrial life. The starting point of life cycle in Astrology is taken as the
first point of Aries, the cardinal fiery sign of Tamas nature. Between the
fixed fiery sign Leo and the cardinal fiery sign Aries there is a transition
stage of dual fiery sign Sagittarius. In the ninth house of a natal chart are
judged religion, conscience, wisdom, stoicism, Guru i.e. Master etc. It
signifies that the origin of life lies in Dharma and Sattwik wisdom signified
by the goddess Saraswati. Again, religion in embodied form is Guru who
enlightens the human life removing the darkness of ignorance. In the planetary
kingdom, Jupiter is said to be the Guru of the gods the characteristics of whom
are totally manifested in the sign Sagittarius. As such, the selection of
Jupiter as the lord of the sign Sagittarius is quite justified.
The twelfth sign of
the Zodiac is Pisces, dual watery sign of Sattwik nature symbolized by a pair
of fishes swimming in opposite directions in deep water of river. It signifies
that in this sign the human soul is in eternal play with the Supreme Soul. The
twelfth house signifies sacrifice, emancipation i.e. Moksha i.e. liberation
from the complexes. The fourth sign counted from Sagittarius is Pisces which
means that the Jupiterian wisdom of active fiery sign Sagittarius after
crossing the two saturnine signs Capricorn and Aquarius has been converted into
realization of the Supreme Soul. The eighth sign of the Zodiac is Scorpio from
which the fifth sign i.e. the house of expression is Pisces. The significance
of this is that the accumulated Karma Phala of previous births finds the
highest manifestation in the dual watery sign Pisces wherein the individual
soul being freed from all complexes gets unified with the Supreme Soul and at
that stage the complex free soul or the Mukta Purusha appear as the Guru in
order to take other souls above the levels of animal-hood and manhood to rise to
the level of godhood since the highest expression of the sign Pisces is in the
10th sign counted from it i.e. the sign Sagittarius, the active
field of Deva Guru Jupiter. Therefore, the selection of Jupiter as the lord of
the sign Pisces is quite justified.
The consequence of
the sign Sagittarius is in the fifth sign from it i.e. Aries, cardinal fiery
sign of Tamas nature ruled by Mars signifying the start of life whereas that of
the sign Pisces is the fifth sign from it viz. Cancer, cardinal watery sign of
Tamas nature ruled by Moon which is the significator of mind and feelings. The
significance of this is that the Jupiter of Pisces finds his consequence in the
psychic level through the unbound emotions. It means the seed of creation
inherent in the sign Leo out of its desire to express itself in many ways takes
the help of Jupiter of Sagittarius for organizing and driving force to effect
the start of life in Aries and at the latter stage, the inherent wisdom of
Jupiter in Pisces is expressed in Tamasik sign Cancer through unbound emotions
and feelings. Again, the 10th sign from Pisces is Sagittarius where
the Deva Guru Jupiter keeping away his intrinsic meditation expresses himself
through active energy for finding the mankind the proper way to rise to the
level of godhood. This is exemplified in Hindu Mythology in a war against the
demons where the charioteer of Indra, the king of gods was the Deva Guru
Jupiter. Again, in ancient ages, the councilor or adviser of the kings in war
and peace were the sages and therefore the selections of Jupiter as the lords
of Sagittarius and Pisces are quite justified.
