OM Amrtesvaryai Namah!!

Namaste dear Wendy!!

you said:

>>Asc lords dispositor Mercury in 12th in nakshatra of Ketu is

favourable for the spiritual aspirant...Gnana yoga (the path of the

intellect). Whilst Asc lord Saturn conjoined with 4th lord Mars in 9th

shows strong Bhakti yoga (the path of devotion).<<

something that you may not have noticed in your tiredness is that, in

this case, the ascendant lord's dispositor is also the 9th lord...the

lord of the house of the Guru, and thus it is 9th lord in 12th. and

first in ninth...Lord of the Asc. in the house of the Guru, and the

Lord of the House of the Guru, in the home of the Guru (12th)...or

Ashram...and not only that, but that very same lord is Jaimini

Atmakaraka for Ammachi, my Guru...this is quite the "coincidence" i'd

say.....and Mercury is also,in Her chart, along with Her Sun (the

Parashari Atmakaraka) in Her 12th, Virgo, which is MY 9th....quite the

connection there with my Ammachi!!! and Her Lagnesha is my Beloved

Deity!!

but i hadn't really contributed the chart for that reason...but rather

to point out how the indicators you were mentioning were fully active

in my chart...hemmed in moon, Mars afflicted (and afflicting) Jupiter

afflicted, (and afflicting! as he is not my "friend"...with Saturn

Lagnesha and Atmakaraka)...

(back to Amma and Mercury!)i realised something else weird

yesterday...i was by the river, feeling Mother's presence

everywhere...in the wind...the oncoming thunder storm, the rain drops

pattering into the river....the clouds moving darkly across the

sky...the trees dancing frenziedly in the rising winds...i was

thinking of Amma...

i was remembering how i had blown up this Yogananda picture of Divine

Mother, and coloured it...i coloured the Devi's Sari GREEN....don't

know why...

then i was remembering how my favourite picture of Ammachi is one

where She is in a Green Sari, in which you can see the entire

creation...She is so regal, yet playful...

and then i was remembering how last year at the Seattle retreat i had

really loved the Atma Puja, and was just carried away totally into the

spirit of it, such that i didn't notice the heat or the crowds, or

anything but that i was full of this Divine Love, which was pouring

out thru the Mantras of the Divine Mother's Names....

and as i was chanting the response Mantras along with all the other

folks (Mother and Swamiji were leading the prayers...)suddenly i

became aware that Mother was standing right behind and beside me, and

touching my shoulder with Her Loving hand, in blessing...She was in

Devi Bhava, and wearing a Green Sari!!!

i had to look at the stage to remind myself that She was there,

dressed in whites....leading the puja...but the feeling of Her being

right there...such that i could even "see" Her, was so strong, that i

was fairly carried away into bliss....and the Puja ended all too

soon!!!

then i remembered that Ammachi's Atmakaraka is Mercury, and the Colour

associated with Mercury is GREEN....So my Guruji is "green", and my

Beloved Deity, Venus is "white"....just exactly the two colours i was

aware of with Mother that night!!!and the colour which i without

knowing why, had coloured the Devi's Sari earlier, to call Her thru

this picture...Pretty amazing!!!and my Green Guruji is sitting there

in my chart, just in the 12th, Her Ashram...in Mula, ruled by Ketu,

significator for liberation!! is She cool or what????

In that Divine Mother's Love,

and in Her Service,

as ever,

your own self,

visvanathan

Hello Dear Visvanathan,

Yes! the tiredness is there for sure, but No! I didn't miss the relevance of

Mercury being 9th lord :-).....

I also didn't miss the significance of 12th lord Jupiter aspecting Asc lord

:-)......

Strong "Moksha" indications in your chart...along with the (emotional, etc)

difficulties we've all been talking about for some time...it's all there to

clearly see...Jupiter's aspect on 7th house for instance is

unfavourable...7th lord (Moon) inimically placed in Ascendant etc, etc......

Best Regards

Wendy

PS: Yes! as you say, the connection with your Guru is very strong...it's a

blessing!

YOU WROTE:
