Guest guest Posted March 14, 2001 Report Share Posted March 14, 2001 Alex, Namaste. Your list is correct, however its not all that simple. Tamasic food is dirty food, or badly treated food. Rajasic food is rich food and spicy food. Satwic food is sweet and pure food. Saturn in 2nd house can show fasting, as Saturn tends to deny certain things. Rajasic planets in 2nd house tend to be more akin to giving taste for meat and etc. An over Tamasic 2nd house shows very bad eating habbits, where the person eats anything regardless of its indications. Sattwic planets in 2nd are offcourse indicators of vegetarian eating habbits. As the 2nd house gives argala on the Lagna, it shows eating. Planets in 12th house obstruct this house and can deny eating, i.e. fasting. Jupiter and Ketu together can give a person who due to spiritual reasons denies all but Sattwic food. And there are many more combinations.. this should be learnt from studying more charts. Best wishes, Visti. - <lostinmotion <gjlist> Wednesday, March 14, 2001 5:39 PM [gjlist] Tamasic foods Hi Wendy, Of course, I understand you don't support generalization, and weren't saying that Saturn in 2nd always causes vegetarianism. I was just having fun ;-) I also consider Rahu and Ketu's effect on the 2nd to give consumption of Tamasic (evil;-) foods. I do this because Parasara classifies the guna of Mars and Saturn to be Tamasic. Due to the co-ownership of Scorpio by Ketu and Aquarius by Rahu, they also give effects of Mars and Saturn and are Tamasic in nature. In ayurveda meat is considered Tamasic, and therefore the influence of these planets on the 2nd can cause meat consumption. The guna of the individual, which is shown by the influence of planets on the lagna has the most powerful sway, which can override the bad effects relating to personal decisions, such as eating, ascribed to the various bhavas. Sattva guna: Sun, Moon, Jupiter Rajas: Mercury, Venus Tamas: Mars, Saturn, Rahu, Ketu As you say Saturn rules the dead, and therfore rules petrified, dead, unclean, and possessed food. Warm regards, Alex J PS. We will have to leave the careful choosing of our words to those with only benefic influence of the 2nd ;-) gjlist, "Wendy Vasicek" <wenvas@o...> wrote: > Hi Alex, > > We're certainly in agreement here Alex...no doubt a malefic Saturn in or > aspecting 2nd house will be harmful to the significations of that house, and > I agree with what you say regarding dead food, processed food and meats > etc...however I did emphasize that Ghandi had YOGAKARAKA Saturn in 2nd (a > yogakaraka planet has the power to do good), and in my case I also > emphasised the fact that 2nd lord Saturn's dispositor had gone to 9th house. > > I wasn't saying that Saturn in 2nd house was ALWAYS beneficial...sorry to > have given that impression Alex...sometimes we just don't choose our words > as carefully as we should :-) > > Best Regards > Wendy > > Alex wrote > ========== > Hello Wendy, > > Thanks for the response!
