Guest guest Posted November 30, 2009 Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 Dear Members of Nature's Astrology, I thought you might be interested in hearing more about the 60-Second Star Test. This is something we can each do every day, and it only takes 60 seconds, to literally keep in touch with each of our planets. Enjoy, Mark Kincaid (We're presently using this in a new group, called Doing Great Astrology, which is a research project we've organized to 'chart' the benefits of using Jyotish remedies and remedial measures. You can still join this group. We're starting now, and getting organized in December, but will be most active in January of the new year, after the holidays.) Check it out at: Doing_Great_Astrology/ "Doing Great Astrology" Course Group Research Project Dear Friends, In reflecting on this new group, "Doing Great Astrology" I've thought one of the best things we can all practice is to take advantage of what I call the 60-Second Star Test. In other words, regardless of how well you presently know and understand your chart, one can literally, `practice' this Star test each day and with a very minimum amount of effort, "60-Seconds" you can really unfold a lot of profundity in your life! After years of self-study in Astrology I came to a point where I realized that the basic thing I do each day, is to look into my planets and see how they're doing. Then, regardless of what I needed to do each day, to `make a living' I used this information to work on my planets. Because I've long `used the planets' to help myself `EVOLVE'. I quickly realized that this was an extremely simple and yet, profound technique to really, take maximum advantage of my stars! Therefore, in this course, we're going to use this Star `test' each day. While you're filling out your `course' Personality Questionnaire' and your Remedies `Background' form, I'd like you to read and start using this 60-Second Star test, every day! It only takes 60 seconds and there's no technique I've found more simple and yet, profound, that really gets to the `heart' of what we're all going through. Sure, it'll always help, to continue growing in your self-appreciation of your chart. So, whether you're a Beginner, Medium, or Advanced student, you're going to want to continue `growing' in exactly how your chart, "FITS YOU". But, at the same time as you're doing this, which may take a few more years; you can still be taking tremendous advantage of the stars, each day, to work, achieve, and to accomplish in all the areas that you're presently living. The 60-Second Star Test This isn't really, a `test' but I couldn't quite figure out what to call it. For awhile I had the thought to call it the '60-Second Star `Mentor' because after all, that's what using the Stars' Feedbacks are all about. When you discover, that Almighty Nature is right now, giving you the most intimate and yet, profound feedback as to how you're literally `doing' in this life, you'll realize this is coming from the greatest mind, the greatest intelligence, or the greatest Mentor in Existence! Realize that Almighty Nature has set up this Universe, for each one of us and our maximum advantage. We've each been born, to live a certain life, which is exactly what we `choose' before we came to this Earth. Our `charts' are the complete understanding as to exactly whom we are and what we've come to do! If you know your charts, so far, you'll have discovered already which of your planets are positive and which one's negative. This is of the utmost importance because Astrology has discovered that where our Benefic `good' and positive planets are, we're already doing and accomplishing the intended results of our actions! In other words, if we have a good and strong Sun, we have naturally strong and healthy self-confidence. Where some people have a very `good' and healthy Moon in their charts, they're spontaneously living all the positive and life-affirming results of having a happy, interior, emotional life. So, it's good to know one's strengths, because `they' will tell you where your personality "POWERE CENTERS" are. I've learned to take greater advantage of my astrological strengths and as a result feel a greater sense of power and self-accomplishment as a result. On the other, hand, EVERY human being, also, has a number of weaker planets, called Malefics which are those planets that are less well developed, imbalanced, or dysfunctional in some important ways. The result of our Malefics, is that we're spontaneously undermining ourselves in these particular ways, and quite often we don't even realize it! Let's say we have a poorer Sun, in our original `star' make-up. And, as a result, we lack a certain, internal self strength. We may know that we lack self-confidence, but it's not something generally, that glares out at you like an eye that twitches, or a back ache, pain. But, the results are just as real and significant. Those that lack Sun self-confidence have an undercurrent of `defeatism' that literally, pervades every aspect of their lives. Even modern day Psychology, understands that one's self-confidence is crucial for success in life. So, realizing what one's malefic weaknesses are is crucial in life. However, in might take us 3-5 years of intense self-study to come to realize which of one's planets are Benefic and which one's Malefic. But, there is a simple formula that we can each use to put us in touch, literally, with our benefic and malefic planets! The 60-Second Star Test OKAY, let's do it! It'll only take 60-seconds! The Sun Because the Sun, self-confidence is the most important part of our `existence' I always check out my Sun first. A simple interior `reflection' will quickly tell you how self-confident you are! Right, now, look within and answer this question: I am _____ Full, brimming with Self-confidence. I am _____ Mediumly full of self-confidence Or I am _____ definitely lacking in some important kind of self-confidence. Moon #2, okay, quick, How are `we' doing emotionally? We're either: A: _____ experiencing tremendous interior emotional even ness, and happiness, or B: _____ experiencing a medium type of emotional satisfaction, with a certain amount or worries, anxieties or emotional concerns, or C: _____ experiencing a lot of emotional turmoil, anxiety, phobias or even depression. Rising Sign – Body Type, Personality One of the chief `significations' of our Rising Sign is that it relates to the Body and personality. So, right now, look into your physiology and ask yourself this simple question: I am: A: _____ extremely happy, balanced, full of energy, raring to go, brimming with physical well rested ness, and joy! Or, B: _____ I'm feeling some lack of rejuvenation, maybe I didn't get a real good nights sleep, or maybe I'm feeling a tad, tired, or fatigued. Or, C: _____ I'm extremely, chronically, stressed, with way too much pain in the body, a constant source of frustration, worry, and concern. Mercury If the Moon relates to how we feel, or the emotional, intuitive `mind', the Right-brain part of us, our Mercury's represent how we think, the logical, reasoning, analytic or Left-brain part. So, how is your intellectual `mind' doing. Either: A: I'm _____ Doing great, have tremendous clarity of mind, certainty as to what I'm doing and what life is all about. Or, B: I have _____ some confusion, lack of clarity and some frustrations with either using my mind or communicating adequately with others. Or, C: I have _____ a chronic sense of lack of reasoning brilliance. I am extremely unclear about myself or my life. I'm at a great loss as to how to proceed, and especially how to communicate either my needs or wants to others. Venus If the Moon represents how we `feel' on an interior emotional level, a quick look into our Venus heart will tell us all about how `loving' we feel. Venus rules the expressive heart and therefore rules how loving and well loved we are. So, either, we're: A: _____ Experiencing a LOT of self-love and love from others. Or, B: _____ Experiencing only a medium amount of self-love and experiences of love with others. Or, C: _____ I feel a chronic sense of lack of self-love and deeply wish I was experiencing MORE love from others! Mars If Venus rules love, than Mars rules our `Passions'. A quick look into our Mars' will tell us how much energy we have, how much drive, persistence, and ability to stand up for ourselves! So, either, A: _____ I'm experiencing a lot of energy and a lot of internal fire, and intensity in which to get things done and stand up for myself, Or, B: _____ I'm feeling some lack of enough energy, a kind of timid quality as to being able to stand up for either myself, others or what is right, Or, C: _____ I'm experiencing a lot of lack of energy, a real depth of despair as to how to manifest my own desires and accomplish that which I'd truly like to, in this life. So, these are the main, interior planets, and even a quick self-examination here, will help immensely, in getting a clarity as to how one is doing. Even, spending 5 or 10 minutes a day on those areas or planets in which you answered B or C, will give you a great boost, in the real importance of life, which is living a MORE self-actualized nature! Jupiter Mars rules the more concrete level and rules all actions, steps, and physical behavior. Jupiter, on the other hand, rules the more abstract quality of self-growth, progress and prosperity in life. Jupiter rules `Expansion' and how much ease and effortless is our life moving ahead. So, either, A: _____ I'm really very happy with my growth in life. I'm feeling a lot of certainty as to my life-mission, my spirituality, and what I've truly come to accomplish in this life, Or, B: _____ I'm experiencing only a medium amount of happiness with my life, progress, or spiritual certainty. Or, C: _____ I feel a real chronic sense of lack of clarity about who I am, my purpose, and spiritual accomplishments. Saturn If Jupiter rules how we `expand' then, Saturn rules how we `contract' or rest! Therefore a quick look into our Saturn will tell us how well we've been resting, rejuvenating or transforming. Either, we're, A: _____ Experiencing a very well rested mind and body, and moving ahead with ease and grace, Or, B: _____ Experiencing only a medium amount of success with keeping ourselves well rested, stress free or healthy, Or, C: _____ Experiencing quite a bit of frustration with either our health, physically, mentally or emotionally, and a lot of confusion or obstacles along our path in life. Rahu/Ketu And finally, the last astrological `marker' in our 60-Second Star Test is the collective `Rahu/Ketu'. For this purpose we're putting them both together because `collectively' they rule how well we desire. Either we're very well balanced with our desires, or we're experiencing some important obsessions, compulsions or challenges with addictions. Therefore, either we're: A: _____ Experiencing no confusion or manipulation of our life due to our desires. Or, B: _____ Experiencing some medium amount of tensions due to some obsessive, compulsive or addictive patterns, Or, C: _____ Experiencing a LOT of tension due to some obvious addictive challenges or bad habits. So, there you go! Okay, maybe this first time took longer than 1 minute! But, after awhile you'll get it down, literally, to one minute. And, it's a great tool to be able to use all the time. I'm constantly only just looking into my experience for a greater `clarity' as to how I'm doing. And, every moment, our stars, the universe, even God himself, is communicating to us, directly through our Stars' make-up! Therefore, getting more proficient as to how to REAC this tremendous God created nervous system, is one of the greatest benefits of Astrology. Next, of course, we'll talk about some simple things we can do each day, to turn any of our B's and C's around, into a more healthy, Mars, Saturn, Venus, Sun or Moon! Good luck, and God bless.
