How can one handle the difficulties created by various planetary positions in the horoscope?
Shiva is considered to be the master of all the 9 planets in Vedic astrology. In fact, the planets represent our thought processes and emotions while shiva represents the consciousness. Once the consciousness awakens, we become the master of our thoughts and emotions. Hence when the shiva awakens, we become the master of our destiny. Shiva expresses himself as three divine qualities: Sat (truth), chit (awreness) and ananda (bliss).
