Iconic Figure
Indian guru, Sathya Sai Baba, was born on November 26, 1926 with a Sun, Mercury, Venus conjunction in a square to Neptune. He was known for his teachings on love, service, and spirituality:
Whatever talent a person has should be dedicated to the rest of humanity - indeed to all living beings. Therein lies fulfillment. All men are kin. They are of the same likeness, the same build, molded out of the same material, with the same divine essence in each. Service to man will help your divinity to blossom, for it will gladden your heart and make you feel that life has been worth while. Service to man is service to God, for He is in every man, and every living being, in every stone and stump. Offer your talents at the feet of God. Let every act be a flower, free from the creeping worms of envy and egoism and full of the fragrance of love and sacrifice.
He founded the Sathya Sai Organization and numerous educational and medical institutions aimed at serving the underprivileged. The Sun-Neptune alignment can often express itself in the pursuit of a self-sacrificing spiritual path. Furthermore, his distinctive appearance—often wearing an orange robe and sporting a large afro—was amplified by the influence of Venus as his external appearance was significantly tied to his spiritual identity. Explore Sathya Sai Baba's teachings, and if inspiration flows, perhaps consider volunteering at a homeless shelter.
