Guest guest Posted December 29, 2005 Report Share Posted December 29, 2005 Wendy ji, I was caught up with some urgent work at the office, so I couldn't respond earlier. <<<I think I've got a better chance of winning the lottery than of convincing Dave to listen to the Navagraha stotram :-)>>> Well, the possibility seems slim, but to quote one ad I saw recently - "Give me hope, it is free" - we must keep in mind the fact that he will start Kuja Dasa in March 2006 - lord of 12 in 12, conjunct Moksha Karaka Ketu and aspected by Vairagya Karaka Sani. So, hope, though minimal, cannot be said to be completely absent! You have mentioned presence of 9th lord Neecha in the 11th. However, we also have to consider 5th because it is the 9th from 9th - and this house's lord is not badly placed. <<<A word here regarding Saturn and religion, if I may. It's perfectly understandable that, with Sani's moolatrikona falling in 9th, you would associate him (first and foremost) with religion. But this is not necessarily so for everyone!>>> As my 9th lord, Sani will strive to lead me to moksha, especially since it is in the 12th and forms Parivartana Yoga with its dispositor. However, even generally, he might give some impetus since he is the natural karaka for renunciation. <<<He is strong-willed and strongly opinionated that it's one's own initiative, or lack of it, that determines one's destiny. To David, 'Destiny' (astrology) is a load of rubbish!>>> Yes, the strong 3rd house of initiatives certainly speaks volumes in his case! However, since 3rd also deals with initiation into spiritual practices, again, I would not want to completely rule out religious avenues. BTW, it is nice to know that his recovery is progressing well. Wish him luck, and I hope that he is out of hospital soon. There are still some points on the list - please consider them at your leisure. This experience is quite enlightening - we are considering your son walking on a thin, dividing line, and one knows not what will happen. I do agree with your analysis, it is rock solid - however, I still believe that something good is possible. Points to support my argument are admittedly slim, but they do exist. ~~~~~~~ Balaji Narasimhan * http://www.sherlock-holmes.com/balaji.htm Author, Sherlock Holmes: Solutions from the Sussex Downs Editor, The Partial Art of Detection ~~~~~~~ ________ DSL – Something to write home about.
