2-Prasad, re. Doing Great Astrology

Somehow Mars transiting my first house acts as speed breaker for me.I am

a very intuitive & impulsive guy.But when I know Mars is with my

Moon,I ziplock my lips & maintain utmost silence.Just about

everyone around me is more wary of me when I am quite than when I am my

usual gregarious & outspoken self !May be that I have learnt from m

past blunders & grown ! This is a fascinating observation, Prasad. This is also a really good description of just how we're meant to understand the negative parts of ourselves and then, react differently. So, well done.! Though your words: "more wary of me" suggeststhey can still feel that Mars possibility of explosion, living hidden, beneath your silence! heheSo, this experience is a good examle of just how we're meant, literally, to come to understand ALL of our malefic patterns.To, me this is what malefic ness is all about. What 'malefic ' truly means is that which we're doing, which is NOT creating the effects that we're hoping for! And, we will do better by learning how to dismantle those thought patterns, speech and behavior that's going to come back to us negatively, if we keep going in these malefic ways!In other words, the connotation of malefic ness, is not just

negative or a curse, but instead is a Divine warning!Well done!MarkDR.PRASAD P.R.K. <DRPRKPRASADseasons_of_the_stars Sent: Sat, January 23, 2010 7:14:18 AMRE: [seasons_of_the_stars] 2-Janna and Prasad, re..... Mars, Saturn, Rahu....and....well everything! hehe

Hi Janna, How's it going! See below....

To Mark and Prasad,I have been following this dialogue because as a Cancer lagna, Mars is RX in my first house too and is also 4th from my Moon (Aries-Bharani) and aspects my 4th house. I vacillate between intense anger over my domestic situation (a house share with very incompatible energy) and despondence because I do not know how to change it and wonder if it has to continue through the transit of Mars in Cancer (it has intensified in acrimony since the Mars Rx station); as a result I am bitter and impatient most of the time. I think, like Prasad, Mars is yogakaraka in my chart too (natally in H2, 25*), so it is frustrating to feel "held back" by this weakened Mars warrior.

Janna, Having Mars in Cancer in my original birth chart, I have a lot that I can contribute here, as well! heheWhat I've especially learned about Mars/Cancer, is that one is supposed to stand up more for one self!So, you're meant to be stronger, especially now.! The fact, that Mars is weak, is only about the outer influences. We can still be strong on the inside!All of my life, I found myself attracted to those situations and circumstances where I could grow!I always, loved westerns and shoot em ups, movies. I loved everything to do with war, with fighting! Then, when I learned Astrology I saw why I liked those. They, put me in touch with that part of me that's supposedto be stronger, to stand up and fight! for both myself and others.But, like you said, about Mars being also doshic or imbalanced too either in your

first house, or mine in the 10th,

I'd often go too fast, and have accidents! So, I've learned to stand up for myself and yet, be less Marish, too, at thesame very time!For example, one time, I was doing this re-modeling work for some friends of mine. They had me paint their home,and so I told them they could hire me by the hour or by the job. They asked me the advantages and disadvantages of both, so I told them. They hired me by the job, and yet, at the end, after doing this bang up job, they came to me, and said this: "Eh, we really loved your work. You did such a great job, ... but, now, we're wondering, it went so well, we're wondering if we could pay you less!"I, of course, was flabergasted. All of my career life, I strived to do excellent work! I prided myself on doing a fabulousjob, and NOW, to be told that I deserved less money, I was aghast!

But, then, I remembered this part of my chart,where I tend to be taken advantage of, just because I'm so easy going here.So, I stood up for myself, I said: "You know we already discussed this. You asked me what the advantages and dis-advatages of the job by the hour vs. the job would be. And, now, you can't punish me because the job went so well!I finally said: "Look, how would you have reacted if it hadn't gone so well and I had come to you and said, I neededmore money?" "Oh, we wouldn't have liked that!" they said. "Exactly, so now, you can't fault me, for the job goingso well!"Anyway, they paid me. But, it was excrutiatingly difficult for me to go through this. They were some good friends.I was worried that it would damage our relationship. And, in fact, it did, for about a year. Every time we'd see each other, there was this 'tension' in the

air. But, you know what happened?After about a year, it went back to normal, and yet, now, I felt this new respect they had for me, just because Ispoke up, more for myself!So, be stronger Janna. Do what you think is right. Just know too, that in the first, even being debilitated, thereis a tendency to as you said, lash out, so don't do that either!Tricky, really, how to stand up, more, but NOT be too Marish! at the same time.

I have also felt a strong Rahu influence and on January 20, the transiting Capricorn Sun opposed my natal Cancer Sun, as well, and I had an all-day headache, so with the continual agitation in my environment, the peace of the Moon often eludes me, especially when Rahu aspects the Moon.

We always need to realize that if we're the type of person, who's generally being assaulted or moved off our center,due to these kinds of transits, we need to cotinually realize we need to continue developing ourselves, internally.I'm sure this is one of the main reasons why I've made such a life long! study of them, Just because I, too, neededto become stronger within. And, every year that went by, especially, when I put attention on always being strongerand stronger, within, eventually I became more and more immune to what the stars are doing!I am, so much less negatively affected today, than I was even a year or two ago. So, each day and month that westrive to be more in-tune with ourselves and the universe, we will become stronger!

Any suggestions? And Prasad, if you want to exchange birth data, please let me know. I am in JU ME JU dasa, but I don't think that TR Jupiter in House 8 is helping me at this time (although I am also not sure). But since we are both experiencing the transits in the same houses, it may be advantageous to exchange notes:July 22, 1946 6:56 AM Salt Lake City, Utah, USA (Ashlesha asc; Bharani Moon; Pushya Sun).

See above for my suggestions for Mars transiting the first, even for Cancer rising individuals.CiaoAnd, good luck!
