Astrology

[Guest guest]

Quote by Sri Swami Satchidananda:

 

Don't waste your time worrying about the past or

worrying about the future. Some astrologers might be a

little unhappy with me for saying that. They have a

job to do; fine, let them do it. They are also needed.

But don't get caught up in these things. You can rise

above your planets. Don't get attached to thinking,

" What is your sign? I am an Aquarius. Are you a

Taurus? A Capricorn? " You are not any of that. You are

the pure Self. Your body and mind have limitations, it

is true; but you can rise above them.

 

It really doesn't help much to know the future. If God

had wanted you to know the future, it would have been

easy for Him to leave the door open. He knew that it

would not be benificial to you, so He shut the door.

It's the same for the past; it's better if you don't

remember all the past lives. If you remembered it all,

you would still have hundreds of enemies. You might

forget all your friends, but you will remember all

your enemies. Isn't it better to forget them?

 

Let's not waste time on all these things. Think of the

golden present. Enjoy the present. You might still

ask, " Don't you think I should at least plan a little

bit for the future? " All right, make your plans; but

remember: after you make your plans, submit it to Him.

" Lord, if You say 'Okay,' let it happen. If not, I

won't worry. "

Here is another account of astrology from " Autobiography of a Yogi " . This is the

dialect between Mukunda and Sri||Yukteshwarji. It is extracted from chapter 16

(Outwitting the stars).

 

 

 

Mukunda, why don't you get an astrological armlet? "

 

" Should I, Master? I don't believe in astrology. "

 

" It is never a question of belief; the only scientific attitude one can take on

any subject is whether it is true. The law of gravitation worked as efficiently

before Newton as after him. The cosmos would be fairly chaotic if its laws could

not operate without the sanction of human belief.

 

" Charlatans have brought the stellar science to its present state of disrepute.

Astrology is too vast, both mathematically1 and philosophically, to be rightly

grasped except by men of profound understanding. If ignoramuses misread the

heavens, and see there a scrawl instead of a script, that is to be expected in

this imperfect world. One should not dismiss the wisdom with the 'wise.'

 

" All parts of creation are linked together and interchange their influences. The

balanced rhythm of the universe is rooted in reciprocity, " my guru continued.

" Man, in his human aspect, has to combat two sets of forces—first, the tumults

within his being, caused by the admixture of earth, water, fire, air, and

ethereal elements; second, the outer disintegrating powers of nature. So long as

man struggles with his mortality, he is affected by the myriad mutations of

heaven and earth.

 

" Astrology is the study of man's response to planetary stimuli. The stars have

no conscious benevolence or animosity; they merely send forth positive and

negative radiations. Of themselves, these do not help or harm humanity, but

offer a lawful channel for the outward operation of cause-effect equilibriums

which each man has set into motion in the past.

My opinion for whatever it is worth:

 

It may be true that stars and planets would have an effect on human

psyche and personality. While that is accepted is should also be said

that the subtle effects of the cosmos can be offset at the same

subtle level with spiritual sadhana and Guru's guidance. Meditation

can be an important force for, after all is said, the astrological

laws and for that matter all vedic laws were discovered by sages in

deep meditation.

 

Thanks.

Brilliantly said. Let's put our faith in the Guru and

transcend the laws of nature!

 

Shivohum! Shivohum! Shivohum so hum!

Sat chid ananda swarupu hum!

 

Two things to remmember: service and surrender.

 

Peace,

RD

Bravo!

 

Astrology is not merely a tool for prediction but also

a means to judge a person and help him lead a better

life. A true astrologer is more concerned with helping

a person realise his potential and avoid the negative

elements within him than in prediction of life events.

 

Regards

Jagannath.

An interesting article

 

Q: As a student for over 7 years in studying various Astrology Books of

both ancient and modern authors, I confront many problems in assessing

quality of a woman - happy; attractive; intelligent; will have sons

etc., from a girl's horoscope before finally informing the

prospects, that the girl will be, because of these to so . Further, in

these days, lot of people wish to know, if that girl would have love

marriage resulting in success or problems. Can you please favor me with

a `check-list' with priorities to go through the girl's

chart to reach correct answers for the above. Thank you - Smt. Swetha

K….r, Majitha, Punjab, India.

 

ANS:: Excellent question! I am pleased to bring you my answers, taking

one after another in your list of questions!

 

1.LOVE MARRIAGE: The following Planetary indications in the Girl's

chart could be traced:

 

a) Lords of the 5th house and ascendant (Lagna) are associated in the

same house;

 

b) When both Lords of Ascendant (Lagna) and the 5th house, aspect

each other powerfully even they are natural Malefic, without any

influence from other Malefic planets;

 

c) Malefic planet positioned in the 9th house (as 9th house from

Ascendant denotes, usage, family tradition and established custom) of

the girl's birth chart.

 

d) Fifth House in aspect from or occupied by strong Planet like Mars,

Moon and Venus - (Mars is strong in Kataka, Moon in Rishabha and Venus

in Meena);

 

e) If the Lord of the ascendant and 5th house is in the state of

`Parivarthana' (in the mutual exchange of houses);

 

f) While `matching ` a male and a female charts of

`lovers', you may check - in both horoscopes- there relative

positions (or in their respective `Navamsa' Charts) to, - if

these Planets exchange positions in each other Birth Charts -, their

Love marriage will fructify and prove to be a successful one.

 

2. BENEFICIAL Placatory positions in girl's horoscopes:

 

a) If Lagna is occupied either by Moon, Mercury and Venus or by

Mercury, Jupiter and Venus (the tree planets in the same house), she

will have `Excellent Character, Learned and Intelligent'.

 

b) If a female is born in an even sign, and if powerful Jupiter,

Mercury OR Venus, - joins Moon in any other sign, she will be highly

religious, philosophical, and famous;

 

c) If Moon and Mercury are in the Ascendant, she will be happy and

blessed with children;

 

d) If FULL Moon (Pournami born), well associated Mercury, Jupiter and

Venus occupy Ascendant in a female horoscope, she will have material

prosperities through out her life time;

 

e) Girls born (Lagna) in Taurus, Cancer, Virgo and Capricorn are

fortunate, if Moon, Jupiter and Venus (each one of them) well placed;

 

f) If in a Girl's birth chart, the Lord of the 10th house from

Ascendant is in the 7th House, she will have a very fortunate husband,

holding high positions in life coupled with great happiness in her

family.

 

g) Venus in the 10th house from Ascendant, powerfully situated having

Jupiter (Drushty) aspect will bring her a partner of very high status

and dignity.

 

h) If Jupiter occupied Ascendant in her birth Chart, she will be very

healthy and will have sons and grand children.

 

i) If Mercury with Jupiter and Venus occupy the ascendant in her

birth Chart, she will be extremely attractive, vivacious, skilful in

arts, smiling at all times, and happy, with skill for excellent judgment

on events and results.

 

j) If the Ascendant happens to be Gemini (Mithuna) or Virgo (Kanni)

and Moon and Venus are also deposited in that house, she will be fond of

happiness, enjoyment, sweet and willing partnership, and very much

independent in her views.

 

k) If Mercury and the Moon in Ascendant and have any

`sumbandha' - positional relationship - with Venus, in a birth

Chart of a girl, that girl will be deeply interested and expert in arts

(Dance, painting, music and cultural arts) and will be endowed with Very

good and appreciable qualities and happy all her life dedicated to her

arts.

 

l) Similarly, if Mercury and Venus occupy the Ascendant in a birth

chart of a girl, she be loved and adorned by her husband who will

co-operate, appreciate and contribute to her talents of Arts, and her

involvement to reach the heights of her skill.

 

m. If Mercury, Mars, Jupiter and Venus are strong and the Ascendant is

in an even sign in Birth Chart of a girl, she will be versed in

Scriptures and will possess many virtuous qualities. During the

concerned Vimshothri desa periods of the said Planets, she will be

revered by all for her extraordinary qualities.

 

While this so, certain planetary combinations could indicate loose

Morels in women, also - it should be studied carefully and with

expertise in going through many charts under Astrology rules, before

arriving at a conclusion, in individual charts of concerned girls. ::

 

1. If the Lagna (Ascendant) or Moon falls in Aries or Scorpio, Owned by

Mars (Kuja) and Kuja Trimsamsa falls, the girl could in circumstances

beyond self resolve to fall in marels.

 

(Trimsmsa means 1/30th of a sign or one degree. Each sign, as the

students of Astrology knows, contains 30 Degrees.)

 

In odd signs like Aries, Gemini, Leo, Libra, Sagittarius, Aquarius, the

Trimsamsas are distributed as follows::

 

Mars 5°;Saturn 5°; Jupiter 8 °;Mercury 7°; Venus 5° =

Total 30°

 

Here, the first 5 ° are governed by Mars; the next 5° by Saturn;

the next 8° by Jupiter; the next 7° by Mercury and the last 5°

by Venus in the selected house.

 

In the even signs, namely, Taurus, Cancer, Virgo, Scorpio, Capricorn,

and Pisces this is reversed as follows:

 

Venus first 5°; Mercury the second 7°; Jupiter the next 8°;

Saturn the next 5°;

 

And Mars the last 5°. = Total 30 °

 

Sun and Moon have no Lordships in Trimsamsa.

 

I list the following rules:

 

2. If the girl's ascendant or Janma Rasi (Position in birth chart of

Moon) falls in

 

- Aries or Scorpio and is in Thrimsamsa of Venus, she will become

adulterous - (Carefully the Astrologer MUST check the degree of the

postion of the planet in its occupied house (subject to the corrctness

of given birth time) at the time of birth - double check again - and

check, as there is NO room for error as we are dealing with 1° space

in a house of 30°- (which could decide a life path of a girl);

 

3. If she is born in Trimsamsa of Mercury, she will be every cunning

woman and she could cover her evil actions by clever means;

 

4. If the birth falls in Guru Trimsamsa, she will be virtuous, modest

and respectful.

 

5. If she is born in Sani Trimsamsa, she will become a servant and may

have evil and sinful temptations to commit adultery.

 

6. If born in Venus Trimsamsa rises, she will be unchaste in character (

- unclean in hygene) in many ways.

 

7. If Mercury's Trimsamsa raises, the woman will posses exemplary

and adorable excellent qualities.

 

8. If Jupiter's Trimsamsa rises, the girl will become virtuous,

graceful, loving and affectionate towards her husband

 

9. If born in Saturn Trimsamsa rises, she will be impotent. …

 

`Trimsamsa' and its importance in Hindu Astrology in finding

 

the Quality of a woman:

 

a. If birth sign and the Moon's sign happens to be Taurus or Libra

and If Trimsamsa of Mars raises, she will have bad character not

approved as practice in the society she is born.

 

b. If the Trimsamsa of Jupiter raises in above conditions (instead of

Mars) she will certainly be generous, Virtuous, noble and adored by

many.

 

c. If the Trimsamsa of Venus raises she will be learned, powerful,

courteous, and extremely adorable woman of repute.

 

d. If the Trimsamsa of Mercury raises, she will be learned skilful and

chaste.

 

e. If the Trimsamsa of Saturn raises she will certainly marry another,

after first marriage.

 

[Please note: I will discuss in another article the recommended

`timing of event' and how that could be arrived at to confirm

above]

 

We discussed above on Taurus and Libra (the house owned by Venus). Now

we will move to another important house :: LEO :: House owned by the

Sun:

 

a. If Lagna (Ascendant) or the Moon falls in Leo, and Trimsamsa of Mars

rises, she will have masculine qualities. She could be very talkative

(subject to other prescribed position of Planets to this effect), and be

unreliable.

 

b. If Trimsamsa of Venus rises, she will commit adultery.

 

c. If Trimsamsa of Jupiter raises, she could become wife of

`ruler', may enter as daughter in law of most reputed family in

wealth, luxury and leadership.

 

d. If Trimsamsa of Mercury rises, she become masculine in actions and

behavior, and (in certain positional deductions of Planetary positions

in the birth chart) she could be a `lesbian'.

 

e. If Trimsamsa of Saturn rises, she could be immoral and flout all

family traditions.

 

Now we will move on to Cancer ( the house of The Moon), where The Moon

or Lagna (Ascendant) in birth Chart falls:

 

a. If the Trimsamsa of Mars rises, she will certainly commit adultery as

a habit.

 

b. If Trimsamsa of Jupiter rises , she will have admirable qualities,

and faithful and loyal to her husband at all times.

 

c. If Trimsamsa of Venus raises, she will become immoral.

 

d. If the Trimsamsa of Mercury rises, she will be extremely proficient

in arts and science.

 

e. If the Trimsamsa of Saturn rises, she will make treacherous life for

husband, and under certain planetary combinations in the `Janma

Kundali' she could cause death of her husband.

 

Sagittarius and Pisces are owned by Jupiter and let us evaluate the

positions of Planets in Trimsamsa rising:

 

a. If the Lagna (Ascendant) or the Moon in a Birth chart of a girl falls

in the above two Zodiacal Houses, if the Trimsamsa of Mars rises, that

girl becomes a very good lady.

 

b. If Trimsamsa of Mercury rises, she becomes clever, intelligent,

shrewd, sharp and attentive listener, with artistic taste.

 

c. If Trimsamsa of Jupiter rises, she will be an embodiment of all good

qualities and a judge of many situations.

 

d. If Trimsamsa of Venus rises, she will be a charming, and graceful

woman of great identities.

 

e. If Trimsamsa of Saturn rises, she will be having very low (emotional)

sexual instincts, and leave her husband dissatisfied.

 

Capricorn and Aquarius are the houses ruled by Saturn and let us

evaluate the positions of Planets in Trimsamsa rising:

 

a. If Trimsamsa of Mars is rising, she will certainly become a servant.

 

b. If the Trimsamsa of Venus rises, she will be barren and childless.

 

c. If Trimsamsa of Jupiter rises, she will become a loving, devoted and

supportive wife.

 

d. If Saturn rises at Trimsamsa, she will develop relations with low

class person to her birth status.

 

e. If Trimsamsa of Mercury rises she will become a wicked woman with

habit of kleptomaniac

 

This ends the article on women traced in Hindu Astrology.
