New Series - Planets as Counterparts

In Vedic Astrology, planets have natural friendships, neutral relationships and enmities. However, planetary enmity does not necessarily mean that their energies cannot complement each other.

Opposition does not necessarily mean contradiction, conflict or enmity. Opposition can also mean a complementary energy which helps us understand and balance the energy of the other side.

As discussed, the person or energy standing opposite us can act like a mirror. Rather than trying to defeat or suppress that energy, we can learn something from it and use it for our own evolution. 

In fact, some of the most important qualities of human existence are represented by planets which are traditionally considered enemies.

For example:

• Sun represents authority and Saturn represents accountability. 
• Jupiter represents traditional wisdom and Venus represents worldly experience. 
• Mars represents action and Mercury represents intelligence. 
• Jupiter represents principles and Mercury represents practical reasoning

We can use the energy of one planet to correct the excesses of another planet. Hence, we will understand planets as counterparts to each other in this series. In this series, I am intending to cover following planets as counterparts to each other - 

• Sun and Venus

• Sun and Rahu
