Guest guest Posted May 12, 2003 Report Share Posted May 12, 2003 Dear Sanjay, I understand your word of caution. My Jupiter in Kumbha is in Rahu’s nakshatra, unaspected by any planet except for Rahu’s rashi drishti. I think a lot has become clear to me, although I did not have ‘my’ Jupiter in mind when I started this discussion but a more general jyotish query. Similarly, I hope it has benefited others as well. I now realize – fully - why you always told me to take care of my Jupiter from my Rahu and have been overly concerned about it, more than any other negative factor in my chart.

The real search should be in the opposite direction - vertical upward called Ananta. Dr Feeley has given a fine explanation about this. The search should be like that of Ketu - throw away all that is taught and lose your head (ego, prsent knowledge of apara vidya causing obstruction, present thinking based on the understanding of the scriptures based on the sense organs)..throw it away and just surrender...thats Ananta, but it is easier said than done.

I agree with you, but I was trying to fine-tune the point regarding Saturn. Saturn does not reveal, yes. Saturn pertains to meditation, yes. But could Saturn’s “unrevealed” spiritual practice be negative? It was a just a question which arose in a discussion with someone on guru in kumbha…could there be another way of looking at it? One that is not so positive? Best regards, Sarbani Chandrashekhar [boxdel] Monday, May 12, 2003 12:37 AM To: vedic astrology Re: [vedic astrology] RE:|Sri Varaha| Guru in Kumbha Dear Sarbani, If I may intterupt,Kumbha is MoolTrikona of Saturn.Saturn is a planet of deep thinking and when any kind of association is made by him with Jupiter(Religion), the Jataka would be inclined towards religious philosophy. Moreover one will observe that such a Jataka might not be much into ritual part of religion but more interested in the dhnyana of religion. Usually rituals are done by one who has Mars to play a role as Mars is also related with Dambha as well as external show. Please do not misunderstand that I am implying that those who practice rituals are Dambhika. It is just the external manifestation of observance of Dharma and so related to Mars. One will find Mars playing a role, when some body speaks of his/her religious experiences like Kundalini jagruti openly, whereas those with Saturn will rarely reveal what they have experienced. Of course this is my observation from purey astrological point of view and sanjayji might like to comment on my reasoning.

Jupiter indicates the area of life a person applies his intelligence as Jupiter rules Dhi shakti. So, if Guru is in Kumbha rasi, the intelligence is applied to philosophical thought. If Guru is in mina rasi, the intelligence is applied to thoughts regarding moksha, nirvana, pram padam etc. That is why parasara says that when Guru is in Mina in lagna the person gets moksha. This is not to be literally applied but a study of divisions etc has to be seen also. In this manner Guru in Dhanus Rasi gives the application of intelligence in dharma. One has learnt that Kumbha is a philosophical rashi and guru’s placement there is almost akin to exaltation. How do we reconcile this to Kumbha’s lords, the fact that Saturn and Rahu bear such enmity towards guru; that Saturn is the only one who debilitates Jupiter and Rahu can cloud Jupiter’s vision and obstruct his path like none other. Is such a placement (Jupiter in kumbha) bhava specific? So many people have Jupiter in kumbha, are they all philosophical? Or is such dhi shakti capable of being affected by Saturn or Rahu?
