When

Should We Be Doing More Astrology

 

 

 

It often occurs to me, when should we be putting more attention on

our astrology? It’s never going to be a

situation that everyone becomes a professional astrologer. Most people will just want to utilize this great

knowledge to help themselves be more successful in life.

We can use this knowledge to pick our right field of

education. We can even use this great

knowledge to help us figure out what our ideal career or dharmic

occupation should be.

We can even use this knowledge to pick our compatible marriage

partner. For every area of life from

parenting, to health, career, making money and finding God; our star

charts are there to give us guidance, knowledge and wisdom.

 

Once we understand the broad strokes of our lives; we can apply to

the on going, day to day affairs of our lives.

 

 

There is a simple formula that we each can follow to maximize our

astrology for every day concerns and situations.

 

In Jyotish terminology it’s related to what’s

called Prashna.

Prashna means at the very moment that you ask a question, the

actual “solution” to that same problem is

there, contained within the stars!

 

We want to know whether we should go to the ocean or skiing for our

winter vacation and the very moment that question arises: MAKE A CHART FOR

THAT MOMENT!

 

We want to know if we should invest in this or that stock, and the

very moment that question arises: MAKE A CHART

FOR THAT VERY MOMENT!

 

Contained within every moment in life; is the intelligence,

knowledge and wisdom to solve all problems in life!

 

There’s also another good rule of thumb to know WHEN TO DO

ASTROLOGY FOR OURSELVES!

 

At every moment Nature is already telling us how we’re doing

in our personal life. We wake up some morning

with a scratchy throat and nature is telling us that we’re coming

down with a cold, sore throat or flu.

 

So, what do we do? Well, we either

ignore this natural ‘sign’ from Almighty Nature or we pay

attention to it. Acknowledging this as a true

astrological sign and putting attention on this malefic functioning

happening is indeed, DOING GREAT ASTROLOGY!

 

When should we be doing Astrology?

 

Whenever we’re experiencing ANY negative or malefic

functioning or signs of the planets, this is when we should act!

 

The very moment that nature is sending a malefic sign this is

EXACTLY WHEN we should stop what we are doing and start doing MORE

astrology!

 

The very moment we sense a sore throat coming, we should stop

and take some vitamin C, or have some fresh fruit, or get some more

rest!

 

We have to figure out what to do, what remedies or remedial

measures works best for us; but Nature is telling us WHEN we need to stop

and start doing something differently!

 

The negative or malefic signs of the Planets are nature’s way

of telling us when we need to stop what we’ve been doing!

 

Any time that we’re experiencing any of the negative or

malefic signs of any of the planets; this is Almighty Nature saying: “Not this way, or NOT this time.”

 

When we heed this natural warning and put attention on creating

more benefic ness in our life, we will immediately feel a shift, a flow

and a nature support; Nature telling us NOW, you're in the grove!

 

Conversely, whenever things are going well, we’re

experiencing spontaneously positive, benefic or life-supporting

experiences; these are Nature’s ‘signs’ of right

action!

 

During such moments we don’t, generally think: “Oh,

what’s wrong? Or what should I be doing

differently?” In such instances we don't need to do anything!

Well done, keep going!

 

On the other hand, another important way to think about these

malefic signs or malefic moments is to understand what Nature is

saying: “This Is WHERE YOU’RE

THINKING INCORRECTLY!”

 

In Western Psychology there is the notion of

‘sabotaging’. Where we’ve

been abused, mistreated or picked up wrong and unhealthy mental, emotional

or behavioral patterns; this is going to give rise to unhappy and

unsuccessful patterns, ways of doing things and experiences in life!

 

In the East or in Vedic Psychology there is something called

“Pragya Parad”. Pragya parad means

‘mistake of intellect’. In its

broadest sense this means wherever or whenever we’ve become out of

balance or out of tune with our cosmic or full potential nature; this is

where we’re going to make mistakes.

 

If we’re not getting enough rest in life, maybe we watched

our parents being workaholics or were told in our early life:

" You’ve got to burn the midnight oil to get ahead " . This is an example of an unseen, subliminal or

unconscious tendency or pattern that’s been created from our

past.

In terms of our Jyotish or charts whenever any planet is found

acting negatively or malefically, we'll be doing wrong action. Take

the example of Saturn. If Saturn is found acting malefically,

we’ll find ourselves NOT utilizing the healthy or balanced Saturn

reality and as a result we’ll be literally creating future misery

for ourselves even if we have the best intentions.

 

Parent’s who work night and day for their children are often

surprised that they don’t get more nature support! This is because nature only knows by our actual

actions. Nature doesn't go by our intentions but by our actions.

 

We DO any action in a non-balanced or unhealthy fashion and nature

will only give us unhealthy and un-positive consequences back!

 

Why? So, we learn!

Every negative, or what Jyotish calls malefic sign is a sign from

Almighty Nature that we’re being out of tune or imbalanced with one

of our planets or a part of ourself.

 

And, the really interesting thing is each specific planetary sign

has its own language and unique symbolism.

 

In other words we’ll be able to hear from each planet when

we’re acting out of tune with that planet and creating negative or

un-life supporting results even if we don’t realize it.

 

Therefore, the simple formula to follow each day when you want to

know whether you should be doing more Astrology is: Listen for the

negative or malefic signs of each planet!

 

When we’re out of tune with our Sun’s we’ll

experience any of these negative or malefic signs:

 

1)

Superiority 2)

Inferiority

3)

Lack of self-confidence,

4)

self-doubting, 5)

Lack of self-will

 

When we’re being out of tune with our Moon’s these are

the Moon’s malefic or imbalanced ‘signs’:

 

1)

Sadness

2)

Anxiety 3)

Worry

4)

Phobias,

5)

All emotional instabilities

and

6)

Unhappiness.

 

Whenever you experience any emotional or mental imbalance or

instability; these all are the malefic signs of the Moon that are telling

us: “Do some astrology on strengthening

the Moon, RIGHT NOW!”

 

And, how long should we be doing Moon or any planetary remedies and

remedial measures? Until all the negative or

malefic signs have disappeared! Then,

you’ll notice that only the positive or benefic signs of your

planets are there!

When you’re out of sorts worried or upset and someone

says: “Get a good night’s rest and

everything will be better in the morning!”

and, lo and behold you do this and you miraculously FEEL

BETTER!

 

Why? Because you paid attention to the

malefic signs or warnings from nature or in this case the Moon! And, because you stirred the all important remedies

and remedial measures of life you now are moving into the benefic

light!

 

 

Each planet has a simple formula that will allow you to know when

you need to be practicing more Astrology!

 

Sun

 

For the Sun look for self-confidence or especially lack of

self-confidence.

 

Moon

 

For the Moon, look for emotional evenness or inner, emotional

happiness. Wherever there is worry, anxiety or

a lack of emotional bliss, this is the Moon saying:

“COME HERE” and enliven ME!

 

Mercury

 

Mercury, too, has its own unique malefic signs. Whenever we feel a lack of intellectual clarity or

understanding in life; we will benefit from enlivening our Mercury's!

 

Venus

 

Venus too, has its own unique signs.

Whenever we feel any lack of love, lovingness or appreciation in

life; this is Venus saying: “Come

here” and enliven me!

The very moment that you do this, immediately you’ll feel

better. Even other people will love you more,

when you enliven your own Venus, within!

 

Mars

 

Mars’ unique malefic signs include:

anger, resentment, betrayal, cheating, fighting, disharmony, all

criminal behavior and blame! We’re in

the middle of Venus-Mars grade right now.

Literally, billions of people are in the middle of Mars-Venus

scenarios, trials and tribulations! Why? Because we've come to enliven the positive or

benefic side of these two planets!

 

Saturn

 

Saturn has some of the most well understood of all the negative or

malefic signatures or signs of any planet. Whenever we feel: 1) tired, 2) stressed, 3) unhealthy, 4) sick, 5)

dis-ease or 6) disease, 7) delays, 8)

disappointments, 9) losses, 10) grief, 11) or suffering in any

way; all these are Saturn’s natural malefic signs!

 

All we have to do to convince ourselves of this astrological

perspective is to stop, adjust and practice any of Saturn's remedies. Immediately, that Saturn negative or malefic sign

or symptom will diminish or go away.

 

Just the other day I was rushing down the street. As it

happens sometimes I felt late and slightly irritated that things were

taking too long!

 

In fact, I noticed a number of cars, from different directions,

suddenly move into my lane! " What’s

going on! " I said to God: “Hey, don’t you know I’m

late!” Then, I caught myself. God knows what’s going on. In fact, he even sent some Saturn signs or angels

to show me the error of my ways!

Immediately, when I let go and started driving in a more relaxed

way, not only did my mental irritability vanish but then I somehow found

myself at my goal within the right time!

 

Like that, find yourself in every Saturn malaise situation, stop

and adjust, apply some remedy and see if you don’t immediately

feel better!

 

Jupiter

 

Jupiter, on the other hand has a slightly more subtle kind of

malefic signature. When we need to be putting

more attention on improving our Jupiter’s we may experience some of

these negative or malefic Jupiter signs.

If we ever experience any lack of spiritual content, inner bliss,

Godly or Holiness, spiritual clarity or spiritual experiences; these are

Jupiter’s signs for us.

 

Jupiter, in addition to ruling spiritual concerns also rules

physical or materialistic progress and prosperity in life. Sometimes, we’ll need more Jupiter benefic

ness even to become more successful in our outer life.

Again, the solution is to try and identify the planet that’s

trying to speak to us; and then, stop and practice some specific planetary

remedies, and then look for the growing positivity or benefic signs that

we’re now doing RIGHT!

 

Rahu/Ketu

 

The final planetary sign we want to pay attention to is the one of

“compulsions, obsessions and addictions”.

Rahu stands for our desires! When our

desires are ruling us, driving, out of control they’ll assume the

malefic shape of compulsions, obsessions or addictions!

When our desires are balanced and we’re the one in control

then the Rahu signs will be smooth, natural, effortless flow of desires

without complications!

 

 

Now, you know the positive or benefic and negative or malefic signs

of each planet.

 

Next time you wonder whether you should be doing more Astrology;

just take the 60-second star test! Take 60

seconds right now, look through each planet within; and ask yourself this

one question: “Am I experiencing the

positive or negative or each planet?”

 

If you’re experiencing only the positive of each planet; then

eureka! You’ve done it, and you

don’t need any more astrology!

 

But, if you’re like most, nature is right now telling you

where to grow, improve and make some changes!

 

Do these before it becomes too late. We

will experience varying degrees of malefic ness.

Instead of waiting till we’re sick as a dog and flat on our

back, adjust earlier and make some changes until malefic ness completely

disappears!
