Certification Goal

We have identified the 'Who' (Planet) and the 'How' (Nakshatra). Now we must synthesize them. A Sun AK in Ashwini behaves very differently from a Saturn AK in Ashwini. One is a King rushing to battle; the other is a Servant forced to run. This lesson provides the specific 'Soul Signature' for every planet in the first nine stars (The Cycle of Creation).

Classical Verse

"Graha (Planet) + Nakshatra (Star) = The specific flavor of the Soul's Karma."
