Dear @ernst

Each Nakshatra has a Shakti usually derived from the deity governing it.

What are the Shakties of the Planets? Or to better put it what are the Shakties of the deities governing the planets?

Dr. David Frawley Has mentioned the Shakties of the Planets, but that's too general;

I'm looking for specific details of these shakties. for example Lord Ganesha has 32 forms and each form is related to a specific shakti of his. I was wondering if such forms and Shakties have been described for planetary Deities?

Dear @ernst 

Yes, the Video on the Tittiriya Brahmana translation. I watched it again and enjoyed it much more than before. Most often when i revisit your courses and videos they have a deeper meaning for me. I've also read the Tittiriya Brahmana translation twice before an enjoyed it a lot. It go trough it again and I'm sure it will be helpful. 

As you mention each planet dose many tasks and represent many Deities. So they must have many shakties. Is there any resource that directly mentions the Different shakties of the planets?

Or is this a matter of research; for example if Lord Ganesha is a Deity of Jupiter then it's different shakties are related to Jupiter. Probably it dose not meant that Jupiter  activates all these shakties all the time, but they are potentials that may be activated in special circumstances. Any thoughts?

no, there is no source of shaktis for any astrology things, thats all in the mythology which is expected to be known.

Dear Ernst

Thanks for your replies. They are extremely helpful in guiding me where to look.

Dose Taittiriya Brahmana have the Name of the Shakties of the Nakshatras? For example Shidra Vyapana Shakti for Ashwini or Kshira Dyapana Shakti for Revati ?

Dr. Frawley mentions this names in his translation of the Taittiriya Brahmana I.5.1 and
from the commentary of Bhattabhaskara Mishra. But they are not mentioned with names in your Translation.

So I was wondering if they are reliable.
