Lakshmi, further thoughts

February 8, 2002

Dear Lakshmi,

Some further thoughts. Rahu-Mercury period makes perfect sense for

study of astrology. Why? Because you have that very fortuante

combination of the ruler of the 10, Mercury, being in the 9th house,

the most spiritual house. Hence, your connection now with the gurukula.

And, where there is Rahu, there is also Ketu as in influence to your

Mercury. Mercury--Ketu gives fine subtle insight to the mind, as Ketu

is Moksha karaka.

Perhaps we are discovering something about mercury combust

influenced by Rahu in that it creates this movement from thing to

thing, studying different fields, and frustration. Since we both have

that and experience something similar from it.

We don't have to be "Great," but we can all complete a field of

study and harness our minds and karmas enough to be competent in

something and contribute. And we can all make a commitment for the

long-term ( thus shortcircuiting Rahu) that comes from the soul, from

the heart, that is in the best interest of all beings. And we can

associate with Great beings with better karma (i.e., the jyotish gurus)

in our work and be directed by them and helped, thus elevating our

capacity. It feels to me that your Mercury with its aspects ( Ketu,

even Rahu, combustion) gives you a nice path of sharing writing,

astrology, spirituality, and related subjects according to your own

calling and choice to a fine degree. Forgive me for going out on a

limb, but it seems that this parampara would really like having your

long-term attention and that your gifts are well shared here. Your Rahu

dasa is placing you squarely into the powerful part of your chart,

activating the raja yoga of ruler of the 10th in the 9th, activating

the 9th house, activating Mercury with its subtlelty in your chart,

activating perhaps deep karmic and dharmic energies based on the

meanings of Rahu, Ketu, the ninth house, etc. What do you feel about

all of this.

peace, DAvid

Namaste David and Zoran,

Thanks for your inputs. Yes, I do agree that Rahu seems to create waves of

turbulence in already volatile Mercury. According to Sanjayji, Rahu is also a

karaka for astrology, because he can cast aspects equal to Guru+12th

house(reverse). I read in CoVA yesterday that Rahu in the 9th house gives

effect in the 42nd year! Perhaps because it's Rahu major running concurrently

for me right now, I feel the vibrations all the more potently.

Oh, David, by “great” what I meant was not vis-à-vis the world, but vis-à-vis

oneself. As you have stated so well, I am amazed by the clarity of purpose of

most of the jyotish gurus, especially Sanjayji, who seemed to know at such

tender age what they want to become in life and set about systematically to

achieve it, undeterred by possible repercussions in other areas. And, look at

the contribution and difference he and his li’l band is making! Look at their

passion for the task! Now, that’s what I call greatness. It’s as though they

have harnessed life & its potential right from the earliest. By the way, has

this early awareness anything to do with Rahu in the 2/4th houses? I know

Sanjayji has Rahu in the 4th house. What do you feel ?

Thanks for your affectionate assurances, David & Zoran. And, yes, I really enjoy

being with all of you, because somehow we all seem to be kindred souls sharing a

common hunger…

Regards,

Lakshmi
