Guest guest Posted December 18, 2001 Report Share Posted December 18, 2001 Dear Cynthia <<Pluto transits cannot be ignored. Certainly Parashara would have used a telescope if one were available, wouldn't he?>> One of my vedic astrology teachers while in his 80's told me that the outer planets play an important role for generations. For example, the oposition of Uranus/ Pluto to Saturn for 1960's generation. A research can tell interesting results. I have to say that the outers were known as the dweelings of Indra, Varuna and Yama. According to the vedas, there are parliamentary buildings on those planets, to discuss, legislate and execute the needs for this cosmic manifestation according to the engagement and duties of each demigod. Some may say that if that is the case, then why we do not get pictures of those buildings. One answer is that scientists and politicians are known for their lies and cover ups. Even if they get some pictures, they will not rock the boat. And their materialistic machines are not fit enough to see higher manifestation of energies. The grahas are centers of energies just like cars. But behind them are drivers and those demigods are powerful and useful in the cosmic management. Some astrologers may not take the outers claiming different rules. My answer is that the american president may be surrounded by the walls of the white house but nevertheless his influence touches every corner of the planet. Those walls do not restric his influences. My feeling is that every astrologer is free to practice. Even if we are wrong we are free to make our own mistakes. Restricting others is not good, everyone is driving his/her own body. We can only give advise, others run the risks at their own choice. Some other astrologers may say that the outers are not mentioned in classical treaties. My answer to that is that we only have about 10% of the vedic jyotish books ever written. Either we have to wait for the appearance of the other 90% or we follow the oral tradition as given by old Jyotishis. <<Let us not forget that Pluto is in Jyeshta the eldest wife>> This naksatra is called so because of the star of that name. This star is at 15°34 Scorpio and is opposite to Aldebaran (Rohini) which is at 15°55 Taurus. In old cultures like the Persians, 4 stars were the corners of the sky. They were Jyestha, Rohini, Purva Phalguni and Satabisha. Jyestha is at the heart of the sign of Scorpio, the sign of Pluto. Pluto takes some 248 years to make a conjunction with this star and when that happens, Pluto is Vargottama. In 1999, Pluto did that conjunction 3 times and indicated a drastic change in human society as we can study from history. The conjunction of Jupiter with Saturn may indicate a cycle of 20 years but the conjunction of Pluto with the star of Yjestha happens once every 248 years. <<The belief that the West is too attached to material desires? >> I would say the whole world. Only few people are detached from material desires. In our real essence, we are 100% pure. That is the essence of the soul. But once the soul enters thanu, the body, the raising sign, becomes the driver of the material body. Within a material body, the soul has the tendency to become conditioned or in illusion that the soul is the material body. Conditionements are very strong, some are good and some are bad. The learning of how to cross the street is a conditionment for survival and it is good, the learning that we are beautiful (as told to us by our parents) is illusion. Anger, greed, envy, lust etc are simptoms of material desires and a false ego. The bigger our ego, the bigger our material desires. The bigger the ego, the less we can understand spiritual values. <<Surely the ability to see the outer planets plays a part in astrology >> We are told that one of our spiritual masters in the Vaisnava parampara, Bhaktissidhanta Sarasvati, re-discovered Pluto long before the west did. But he was not after material glory and did not make any propaganda about it. For what i can understand from some of my astrology teachers is that vedic astrologers use the outers with discretion. I notice that you have practiced western astrology. I did the same for 6 years before coming across vedic astrology. I studied the texts of Barbault and Volguine.

Guest guest Posted December 18, 2001 Report Share Posted December 18, 2001 Natabara, Your mention of the outer planets reminded of an article by a Dr. Vartak that dated the Mahabharata war at a far earlier date than generally accepted. He mentioned that the outer planets were known even at that time as Shveta, Shyama and Teevra (Ur,Ne,Pl respectively). You can see the text of his very long article on his 5561 B.C. rectified date at: http://www.swordoftruth.com/swordoftruth/archives/miscarticles/tsdotmw.html At 10:55 AM 12/18/01 +0000, you wrote: Dear Cynthia <<Pluto transits cannot be ignored.

I like the fact that you are trying to synthesize western with eastern traditions here. And the fixed stars don't ever get mentioned in vedic astrology, so that's also intriguing. However, I'm a little puzzled how 1999 represented a "drastic change in human history". What happened that was so Plutonic? regards, Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 20, 2001 Report Share Posted December 20, 2001 Dear Natabara, I really don't appreciate the rude tone of your reply, particularly since I have said nothing in my original post that might be considered offensive. I simply asked what significant changes occurred in 1999. Sorry to have upset you. Chris .
