Dear All: September 27, 2004 This is a very beautiful, and significant question, especially in regards to the special 'field' of Jyotish or Astrology. People have been asking this very important, almost Philosophical Question, for thousands of years, and most religions and Philosophys have attempted to answer this very 'basic' human question. When I started studying Jyotish, I discovered, there was even an entire 'House' wrapped up in or around this question. Normally, people have 3 most often asked questions when they come to have their charts, 'read'. They either say, Q #1, What is my life purpose or 'career', or they ask #2, How can I make more money, or...#3,.... What's going on in regards to 'relationships'.... According to Jyotish, most of the time; this question of 'life purpose', is answered in the area of the 10th House, and 10th House Lord.... Career, then, is one of the primary significations of the 10th house, so when someone ask's Q What is my life purpose, most of the time they're asking about 'career'... There are about 4 very important layers in our Jyotish charts, that goes to answer this, and really every question... #1 Look at the Sign, or Constellation that's in your 10th House.... This Astrological Sign, really represents the most basic energy, or back drop, in which your ideal 'career', in this case,.... is meant to be. #2 Look at the Lord of that 'Sign'. Where is that Lord, how is it doing, what are the details of it's 'configuration'? This info. gives unique details about one's purpose and karmas especially associated with career, and even life purpose... #3 Are there any Planets in the 10th House? and #4.. Are there any Planets aspecting the 10th House, of the 10th House lord...? All these more subtle considerations also go into explaining the overall situation... I can explain this vividly, looking at my own chart. I have a Libra rising, so #1, Cancer is the sign that's in my 10th House. Though when I was younger I would never have been able to tell you that I liked to 'nourish' or 'give' in the unique ways that Cancer represents, in my 10th house... Part of the confusion for me, was the Lord of Cancer, the Moon, was in my 12th House,... which represents a kind of 'loss', due to it's placement in the 12th....house of 'expenditures'.... And Jyotish says, every Lord, sends back a mail, vibration, or quality, from where it is; whether it's happy where it is, or confused, or lost....etc.... For me, I had a very Philosophical nature, which is very symbolic of the Moon in the 12th, and a fairly linear or cerebral quality, to my investigations and wonderings... And that's very symbolic of Moon, Lord of the 10th being in Virgo, in additon to being in the 12th... Layer upon layer.... Like this, every 'layer' of Jyotish, it's rules and principles, can help us understand the unique qualities of each area of our lives... One last thing...... when you ask about life purpoe, at some point it occured to me, this is a lot like asking about 'dharma', and in reality, this very deep, and significant question can't be quite answered by just the 10th House, alone... And finally it occurred to me....... 'life purpose also needs to be understood,... in terms of literally, every aspect of the chart... Later, I started to really understand this..... Now, when people ask about their 'life purpose', I say, it's to....literally.... come to know and understand...each and every aspect of our charts... When we come to know each and every part of our charts, all of a sudden, we get it.... This is my total life purpose'.... The details, the unique flavors of our charts.... These are all the details that all together, go to describe the very purpose in our soul's, incarnation......... Come to 'know' yourself, what all these different Jyotish/Astrological configurations, 'represent'. Asking yourself, do these qualities and descriptions of all the different Jyotish configurations; do they 'fit me'? As you come to know, and have this unique 'aha'! about your chart,.... each and every part of your life, will become clear to you... When you can explain how each area of your life, is reflected in this or that area of the chart,... you'll have this amazing.... 'eureka'..... I remember when I came to that point... I was thinking about my chart, and for some reason looking at my hand,...and all of a sudden, 'I got it'... "Wow, ...(I thought),...everything I know about myself,.... every aspect of my life, my relationships with parents, siblings, friends, classes in school, career, work, health,...everything,... I've found in one or another areas of my chart...." Then came this amazing, subtle, 'rush' of 'knowingness'.... and I knew.....this was my life,... this is what I should and am meant to be!....... >From that very moment the answer to this very important question was clear to me... One day I was watching the movie, "Unbreakable with Bruce Willis and Samuel Jackson", and at the very end of the movie, Samuel J. is saying to Bruce W....... "Do you know what the scariest thing is? To not know your place in this world,.... to not know why you're here, ....that's just an awful feeling... I almost gave up hope,.. There were so many times ...I questioned myself... but I found....(and here let's say Jyotish).... ...... & Now.... I know who I am...! I'm not a mistake.... It all makes sense!" So important is this question, and soooo vitally qualified is Jyotish, to be able to help us answer this.... Hope this helps...
