Modernity in Vedic Astrology-to Gordon

[Guest guest]

Hi Gordon,

 

I disgaree with you totally on the issue of modern

Western Astrology, and its current focus. Unlesss you

mean the Sun Sign stuff you find in the major

bookstores, I can tell you for a fact that modern WA

is replete with examples of richness, sensitivity and

insight. I have to ask you, exactly how much modern

Western Astrology do you know? How many of the leading

authors in the field have you read? Liz Greene? Jeff

Green? Noel Tyl? Dane Rudhyar? Steve Forrest? Have you

read any of the works of these people? If so, what so

you about them?

 

Your issues with my bringing up Ben Affleck is also

off-center - the grand point I was making was, that

his current circumstance, one of romance, love, sex

and marriage, is central and dominant to all that we

as AStrologers, Western, Vedic or otherwise, do. It is

estimated that some 80% of an Astrologer's clientele

will have concerns about love, sex and marriage more

than any other, unless that Astrologer specializes in

some other area, like Horary or Financial Astrology.

If that is the case, and I would say in my humble

opinion that it is, then Mr. Affleck's case is hardly

sophmoric - just think of the millions of people, with

little to no guidance of any kind let alone

Astrological, making the same mistakes Mr. Affleck is

about to make. Divorce courts in the USA are rife of

examples like these; of the hundreds of thousands of

couples that will walk down the aisle in this country

in a few days (in America, most marriages take place

on Saturday, the WORST day of the week!), we know

right off the bat that half of them will split up

within 5 years if not sooner. My point was that, with

an expanded view and understanding of what the Sages

brought us, we can be of better service to Humankind.

 

I would be most interested in hearing what you would

have to say to Mr. Affleck's horoscope were you to sit

down him.

 

Salaam,

Mu

Well I have not got time to reply - off to India.

You mentioned Kuja Dosha - well Mars is the problem of course. He is too

immature to engage in marriage. If you want to deal with the causes rather

than the effects of his lack of ability in this regard, then I suggest taking a

different approach. Anyway, sorry no time to discuss now - back after ten days.

Regards

Gordon
