Guest guest Posted October 1, 2004 Report Share Posted October 1, 2004 I am posting this for someone who read Kenna's post and wanted to respond.: Kalika's delineations of the degrees at which different planets become combust are much greater than the ones I am familiar with. For instance, I understand Mercury to be combust when it is at 2 degrees from the Sun rather than 14. In any case, I don't think Kenna should look to the current conjunction of those planets to explain his/her current issues. Unless Virgo is a significant sign in his/her own chart, the transit of those planets shouldn't have anymore effect on him/her than on the rest of the world. Not all of us are experiencing toxic levels of stress on the job. Even if Virgo is significant for Kenna, I am not at all convinced of the efficacy of looking to transits to explain the roots of daily events (or at least, I'm no good at doing it). I just think that combustion is something you should consider more when looking at a natal chart, or when choosing the time to start something. A child born when Mars is combust may very well have the issues described by Kalika, but not all of us are going to experience them every time the Sun passes by Mars. Frankly Kenna's problems sound connected to an afflicted Mercury in the natal chart being manifested through a bhukti subperiod. I believe that Amma has astrologers at San Ramon or Amritapuri who will take short questions by letter for a small fee. If Kenna feels that he/she is dealing with a negative astrological force, then he/she should find out exactly what that force is and then follow one or more of the remedies described in jyotish: chanting the appropriate mantra, wearing the appropriate gemstone, and/or commissioning a puja through Amma's temple.

Guest guest Posted October 1, 2004 Report Share Posted October 1, 2004 Namah Shivaya dear Aaron. I think you might be confusing this little atom with another list member since I don¹t usually discuss personal issues on here. Though what you shared may actually be relevant to this one with virgo rising and almost conjunct with mercury and jupiter according to the western system. In Amma¹s grace, premarupa > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
