Hi Paddy, I also agree with your vision that the energy of each planet is colored by the dimensional entities living there!
We just hear about stories about a "counsil in Saturn", "the harmony harvest of Ra in Venus" and the "former war in Mars"
I don't like Vedic Astrology for one main reason. Yes, most interpretation are just negative. A square does not mean a bad time, it just mean a combination of different energies (e.g. water and fire), which result in a complex inner situation; it is not bad, it just is.
Astrologers have frequently boxed ideas, and often conservative ones. One needs to get out of the thinking box, and realize the full positive potential of a learning situation.
I particularly dislike the use of the word "afflicted" in Astrology. I agree fully with your idea that one has to reject any negative ideas, to test the established ideas, and to tune in with nurturing feelings to come out with a good and inspiring interpretation. Isn't it that what we need?

Possibly they are life forms of a different nature than what we commonly deem as life. It bemuses me to think there may be some octave of planetary life density that people have no idea about. Astrologers have long ago given personalities to the planets and maybe that is well aligned to the idea of planets as lifeforms which interact in various ways that have influence upon our lives.
For a while I studied Vedic Astrology. Much of my study saddened me
