“I am Kālidāsa. My verses gave shape to longing, to viraha. I am the forgotten ring, the memory that breaks a king's heart. I sent a cloud across India as a messenger for a love that heaven itself exiled. Do not speak to me of leaves—speak to me of the ache that gives them meaning.”
“Redemption is a word for gods. For men, there is only the return. The memory did not vanish; it simply found its other half. The ache was not erased. It became whole. Wholeness has its own kind of pain.”
“It never rests. It is still searching for a sky that can hold its weight. It is in every lover who looks to the horizon and sends a silent message. My work was not to give answers, but to give their longing a worthy vessel.”
Illustration by William Douglas Almond, from 'Hutchinson's Story of the Nations' (c. 1920s).
PRIMARY SIGNATURE: Moon in Cancer (🌙 in ♋️)
The Moon (emotions, the mind, memory) is in its own sign of Cancer, granting profound emotional depth. This is the very signature of a poet whose art is rooted in feeling and the tidal pull of memory, like the recognition of a lost love that floods the soul.
POETRY OF LONGING (Viraha): Venus conjunct Ketu in the 12th House (♀️ ☌ ☋ in 12H)
The planet of love and art (Venus) is fused with Ketu, the significator of separation and spiritualization. Their placement in the 12th House of loss and distant lands creates the archetypal signature for *viraha*—a sublime poetry of love defined and deepened by the ache of exile.
THE DIVINE MESSENGER: Jupiter in Pisces trine Moon in Cancer (♃ in ♓️ △ 🌙 in ♋️)
Jupiter (wisdom, divinity) in its own water sign of Pisces forms a harmonious trine to his emotive Cancer Moon. This is a blessing of profound spiritual and emotional insight, allowing the poet to act as a perfect channel—a "cloud messenger"—for the universe's own feelings.
