Guest guest Posted May 30, 2006 Report Share Posted May 30, 2006 Sarvebhyo Gurubhyo namaha. Dandavat pranaams. I'm fully conscious of my unfitness to open my mouth in such a learned assembly. But still I want to raise an important question. Over a year ago I developed an interest in astrology, due to my cousin who was kind enough to give me an introduction to the subject. Since then I have purchased and read a number of books including Sanjay ji's Crux of Vedic Astrology, which I found to be very advanced. So, my condition now is that I have a number of facts collected in my head with near zero ability to read a horoscope - and this after a year of effort. I have great respect for astrology. I have seen with awe some things, which could never have been guessed, being read from a horoscope. In his book 'My Experiences in Astrology' (and else where too), the late Dr. B V Raman stresses the importance of intuition in making correct predictions. He says knowing a lot of techniques is fine, but intuition is the key. In fact, too heavy a reliance on mathematical techniques may mar the intuition. Even in his books, he relies almost solely on the Vimshottari dasa system and on Rasi/Navamsa charts - without recourse to Jaimini techniques or referring to shadbala etc. He however doesn't say anything about how to develop intuition - except to say that practice of 'certain' (he doesn't specify) mantras will help the process. Additionally, I have also read from his books that Mercury should be strongly placed to gain knowledge of astrology. He says that Me should be placed in a quardrant. Or Su/Me conjunction in the second house. I finally come to the question. Given my horoscope, do I have any chance of developing this intuition? As you will see, Me is in 12 house in both rasi and navamsa. 14/11/1977 Place: Udupi, Karnataka (74 E 23, 13 N 13) Time: 10:35 am I apologize for the rambling nature of this mail. I will be blessed by any guidance. Warm regards, Prashanth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
