Astrology & science

Dear all,

One interesting fact on vedic astrology basics :

I found one correlation to build a bridge between what is assumed in astrology and what we could find on the physical plane. I didn’t know that what I learnt in my primary school would help me out here. It is VIBGYOR! Yes, it is the spectrum of light and the sequential arrangement of different colours in the spectrum that holds the key!

The Sequence of wavelength as per ascending order is :

Gamma rays
X rays
Ultra violet Radiations
Visible Light
a)Violet
b)Blue
c)Green
d)Yellow
e)Orange
f) Red
Infra Red Radiations
Microwaves
Radiowaves.

Now Marking the planet with associate colors in VIBGYOR we get :

Ultra Violet Radiation - RAHU (upper non visible range).
(Vi)olet or Indigo - SATURN
(B)lue - VENUS
(G)reen -MERCURY
(Y)ellow -JUPITER
(O)range -SUN
(R)ed - MARS
Infra Red Radiations - KETU

ADD MOON as pale yellow or off-white in between Jupiter and Sun and the new sequence as follows :

I] Ultra Violet Radiation - RAHU (upper non visible range).
ii] Violet or Indigo - SATURN
iii] Blue - VENUS
iv] Green - MERCURY
v] Yellow - JUPITER
vi] Pale Yellow or Off white - MOON
vii]Orange - SUN
vii]Red - MARS
ix] Infra Red Radiations - KETU

We can draw the following conclusions based the spectrum diagram and the colour that each planet represents:

1) The electromagnetic radiation of all physical planets in the solar system is mostly in the visible spectrum range (between 400 to 700 nanometers - nm)

2) Rahu (ultraviolet, 10 to 400 nm) and Ketu (infrared, between 700 nm to 1mm) radiations are beyond the visible range. You must also note that in vedic astrology rahu acts like Saturn (both co-lords sign Aquarius) and ketu acts like mars (both co-lords Scorpio).

3) Within the range between Rahu and Ketu, planets emitting in higher wavelengths (above 540 nm) seem to be friendly to each other as follows :
I] Ultra Violet Radiation - RAHU (upper non visible range).
ii] Violet or Indigo - SATURN
iii] Blue - VENUS
iv] Green - MERCURY

And planets emitting in lower wavelengths (below 540 nm) seem to be friendly to each other as follows:
v] Yellow - JUPITER
vi] Pale Yellow or Off white - MOON
vii]Orange - SUN
vii]Red - MARS
ix] Infra Red Radiations - KETU

Planets emitting radiation in higher wavelengths and lower wavelengths seem to be not in harmony with each other.

4) Now one more set can be drawn :

I] Ultra Violet Radiation - RAHU (upper non visible range).
ii] Violet or Indigo - SATURN
AND LOWEST ones
vii]Red - MARS
ix] Infra Red Radiations - KETU
These planets are Tamasic in nature.

MIDDLE SET:
iii] Blue - VENUS
iv] Green - MERCURY

These planets are Rajasic in Nature.

MIDDLE LOWER ONE :
v] Yellow - JUPITER
vi] Pale Yellow or Off white - MOON
vii]Orange - SUN

These planet are Sattwik in nature.

In general, the radiation wavelengths of Tamasik planets will be either lower than 440 nm or higher than 620 nm.
In general, radiation wavelengths of Rajasik planets would be in the range of 440-540 nm.
In general, the radiation wavelengths of Satvik planets would be between 540-620 nm.

5) One more set can be drawn based on same sequence is :

The top and bottom consist of natural malefic like
I] Ultra Violet Radiation - RAHU (upper non visible range).
ii] Violet or Indigo - SATURN
vii]Orange - SUN
vii]Red - MARS
ix] Infra Red Radiations - KETU

AND Middle one consists of Natural Benefics like :
iii] Blue - VENUS
iv] Green - MERCURY
v] Yellow - JUPITER
vi] Pale Yellow or Off white - MOON

It is now evident that the wavelength of the radiation of a planet determines its basic characteristic and the nature of influence on us. PROBABLY, we could generalize saying that any
radiation from any object in the specified range (as discussed above) would have similar effect
on us.

I thought I will reproduce an extract from a book. (Its called the Tao of Physics and it is written by Fritjof Capra).

"Material objects not only determine the structure of the surrounding space but are, in turn, influenced by their environment in an essential way. According to the physicist and philosopher Ernst Mach, the inertia of a material object - the object's resistance against being accelerated - is not an intrinsic property of matter, but a measure of its interaction with all the rest of the universe....When a body rotates, its inertia produces centrifugal forces....but these forces appear only because the body rotates 'relative to the fixed stars', as Mach has put it. If those fixed stars were suddenly to disappear, the inertia and the centrifugal forces of the rotating body would disappear with them".

Now, isn't that POWERFUL!!! The interconnectedness of the Universe - the "unity and interrelation between a material object and its environment" gets established so beautifully through this precept.

I'll leave u with a quote from Fred Hoyle from the same book:

"Present-day developments in cosmology are coming to suggest rather insistently that everyday conditions could not persist but for the distant parts of the Universe, that all our ideas of space and geometry would become entirely invalid if the distant parts of the Universe were taken away. Our everyday experience even down to the smallest details seems to be so closely integrated to the grand-scale features of the Universe that it is well-nigh impossible to contemplate the two being separated"

Thankyou,
