Male Circumcision (for Brother John)

[Guest guest]

jyotish.Specifically, the 8th house is, among other things, the indicator of the

generative organs. The attempt to deny this field is signified by the 8th house.

Thus, the 8th house from the 8th house becomes the 3rd house. The 3rd house is

the field of symbols and communications. But at the same time the third house

signifies the field of kama or desires.In modern parlance, the denial of the

potential of the generative organs is merely a symbolic gesture to signify the

intended sacrifice. In effect, this denial can only lead to the increase of

sexual appetites (perhaps even in unorthodox ways) since the 3rd house is the

field of desires.Nonetheless, we should remember that the 8th house is a field

of moksha (liberation) which is related to the 12th house (sacrifice) and the

4th house (the heart or home). More on this later...Regards,John
