Astrology: 5 Senses and Planetary Rulership
The Cognitive Correspondence of the 5 Senses
Mercury: visual information gained through SIGHT, allows the brain to convert light into electrical signals where it can be perceived and processed.
•THOUGHTS/REFLECTION/STUDY
Jupiter: SCENT triggers a strong thought recollection and memory recall through the olfactory systems in the brain; sending signals directly to the limbic system which controls emotional regulation, motivation and decision making.
•EXPANDING BREATH/WISDOM/ SUCCESS
Saturn: SOUND-waves are collected and transported through the structures of the ear to be synthesized into an electrical signal that is interpreted by the brain.
•RESTRICTION/STRUCTURE/ANALYZE
Mars: TASTE bud receptors transport information to the insula of the brain. The insula controls the Autonomic, Emotional and Behavioral responses in the brain.
•INTIATE/REACTION/IMPULSE
Venus: TOUCH is received by the somatosensory cortex of the brain. This is where the brain generates and determines the significance of emotional experiences.
•EMPATHY/LOVE/COMPASSION
