Rashi - Aruyveda

• The three doshas in Ayurveda are Vata, Pitta, and Kapha.
• Vata is associated with air and ether elements, and it governs movement, communication, and the nervous system.
• Pitta is associated with fire and water elements, and it governs digestion, metabolism, and transformation.
• Kapha is associated with earth and water elements, and it governs structure, stability, and lubrication.
• The doshas are present in everything, including the zodiac signs.
• The fire signs (Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius) are Pitta.
• The earth signs (Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn) are a mix of all three doshas.
• The air signs (Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius) are Vata.
• The water signs (Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces) are Kapha.
• The concept of Pitta, Kapha, and Vata is similar to the Yin-Yang theory in Chinese philosophy.
• Pitta is equivalent to Yang (active energy), Kapha is equivalent to Yin (passive energy), and Vata is the movement between Yin and Yang.
• The doshas are not inherently bad; they are principles of creation. They only become doshas (imbalances) when they are in excess.
• Each planet is associated with a dosha, and when a planet is imbalanced, it can lead to an excess of that dosha.
• The doshas are not just related to diseases; they are also present in a healthy condition.
• Pitta is the active energy responsible for thinking, inspiration, planning, and going forth into life.
• People with planets in Pitta signs (fire signs) are more action-oriented and focused on doing.
• Kapha is the receptive energy responsible for rest, renewal, and enjoyment.
• Kapha gives us the ability to feel and is associated with feeling-centered activities like feeling, healing, and contemplating.
• People with planets in Kapha signs (water signs) are more receptive and focused on feeling and renewal.
• Vata is the energy of change and movement, representing the interplay between Pitta and Kapha.
• Vata is essential for a healthy interchange between activity and rest.
• Vata dosha imbalances are common and can lead to various diseases and unhappiness.
• Vata, when healthy, enables us to live in the moment and not dwell on the past or future.
• Each of the air signs (Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius) is associated with specific Vata qualities that relate to change, decision-making, acceptance, and understanding differences.
• The earth signs (Capricorn, Taurus, and Virgo) are a mix of all three doshas, making people with planets in these signs potentially more balanced.
• Each earth sign has a unique combination of Pitta, Kapha, and Vata qualities that contribute to their characteristics and tendencies.
• The doshas can be used in medical astrology to understand a person's health and potential imbalances.
• The doshas are also helpful in understanding a person's character and tendencies based on the placement of planets in their birth chart.
• People with many planets in fire signs tend to be Pitta-dominant, those with many planets in water signs tend to be Kapha-dominant, and those with many planets in air signs tend to be Vata-dominant.
• Planets in Vata signs can cause more trouble and grief due to their association with change and desires.
• Desires are the most changeable aspect of our lives, and when life becomes too based on desires, it can lead to Vata imbalances.
• Air signs can get caught up in the fun and desirable things in life to avoid deeper issues, and it's important to develop a stronger sense of self to overcome this tendency.
• The interplay between Pitta and Kapha is crucial, and imbalances in this interplay can lead to Vata problems.
• Most diseases are said to be Vata-based, highlighting the importance of maintaining a harmonious balance between Pitta and Kapha.
