Guest guest Posted March 30, 2003 Report Share Posted March 30, 2003 Dear Mr. Rath, You have touched a most sensitive issue. To me astrological rules are like linguistic rules or the rules of grammar of a language. Just like the language structure changes with time astrological rules also change in time. Moreover, though people did not use extra-saturnian planets, these planets were still revolving in the sky!!! I really doubt what was the success rate of the predictions based on the information compressed with so few sample points. There are several things existing today which can not be prefixed as 'vedic-'. Have we considered discarding them? Computers are NOT vedic. Why we are using them then? Lets not be narrow in our attitudes if we really want to make astrology a respectable faculty of knowledge... Just as an aside I would like to share with all of you you an interesting episode when I was studying at IIT-Bombay 15 years ago. My friends in the hostel asked me why there are no 'gaali-words' in Sanskrit. Accd to them if we have to revive Sanskrit today then it should have gaali-words. Even I had very little knowledge of such words in Sanskrit which would express certain peculiar human emotions exactly. I was in a tight-spot. The only solution that came to my mind was to use creativity and construct such words and phrases which would cater to the need. So I asked my friends (around 7-8 of them) to construct them! My friends struggled hard while creating gaalis with their 10+2 level knowledge of Sanskrit. In the process they were so motivated to further their knowledge of Sanskrit that the group we started continued even after I left IIT. Moral of the story - if we want to further the knowledge we should not be rigid about anything ...

A simple logic is that if these were not employed earlier and the womanising was even more rampant, then why do we need them now? There are some yogas like 1) Jara Yoga with the lord of sexual pleasures going to heaven (tenth house). Such people are under the mistaken belief that this earth is swarga loka and all the women are apsaras..dance and dine all the time. 2) The presence of Mars in Venus sign and vice versa in the second from navamsa lagna causes people to look for pleasures outside wedlock due to dissatisfaction and domestic bickerings. Often this is a reaction to a terrible relationshiop. Typical cases of 'fire to frying pan' syndrome. 3) The trines of Mercury & Moon in the navamsa makes people tend to produce babies outside wedlock. If this is scorpio, they throw the fear of society and sin from infanticide aside, and revel in their new found pleasure. Only when the night dawns that they realise the great folly they made and that their wisdom had left them. 4) Venus & Mercury touching scorpio navamsa tends to give a terrible spouse - extra marital tie is often temporary as one learns that 'love' is yet another four letter word and cannot be found in the bed. ....I can go on. Do you really need neptune, Uranus, Pluto etc? is this Vedic?? Do reconsider please. or the trines of the Moon & MercuryWith best regards & have a nice day,Sanjay Rath-----------------------------H-5 BJB Nagar, Bhubaneswar 751014, IndiaTel: +91-674-2436871 http://srath.com----------------------------- - Rajeev Upadhye vedic astrology Saturday, March 29, 2003 12:22 PM Re: [vedic astrology] Indications of being Alcoholic/Womenizer Hard aspects of jupiter and neptune indicate tendency to run away from reality. SO alcholism is one manifestation of Jupiter Neptune combinations. "Womenizing" is based on aspects of Venus with Mars, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. Each of the planets adds different spice to so called "womenizing" ...In mu opinion venus pluto and venus neptune combinations indicates so called womenizing.
