Achyuta Gurukul] Why am I studying astrology? / An existential doubt.

[Guest guest]

Dear Vladimir,

 

Thank you for sharing. I am sure, with your open heart and genuine interest in

vedic astrology, you will find many friends here- I agree with you, Guru has to

be our friend, and more- beloved family member, perhaps. I've been impressed how

deep and mature your insight is, and am glad you'll stay with us.

 

I just wanted to greet you for now,

Welcome aboard, friend,

 

Anna

[sJC: Achyuta Gurukul] Why am I studying astrology? / An existential doubt.

Why am I studying astrology?An existential doubt.My interest for the astrology

began to manifest in a serious way at the end of the 2000 (Finishing the period

of Saturn-Mars). A little before the beginning of the period of Saturn-Rahu. I

met with a devote of ISCKON that had many copies of classic books of vedic

astrology. The meetings were informal but very motivational. Before my friend

traveled to Panama, I could copy all his books. Then I followed my studies in a

autodidactic way, without professors, alone reading the books and analyzing

natal chart of companions of the university. In Lima, Peru, other devote of

ISCKON gave classes of Astrology for 20 American Dollars, I had not money and

furthermore I believed more in being autodidactic.My desires to become more

expert in this wonderful science is motivated more by the ideal of the

benevolent wisdom and not for the ideal of making money. I have stayed studying

astrology during this whole period of Saturn-Rahu, which is soon to finish

(September of the 2003). Why the period of Saturn-Rahu had characterized by the

study of the astrology? And not how a hobby but how something very important,

even more important than my university career. Many times in the classes in the

university, while the professor spoke, I concentrated, after the backs of some

companion drawing diagrams of the natal charts. Many times also, I dreamt to

the planets rotating in you orbit, with their grades and minutes, and I

listened conclusions. Other times, before falling asleep, I passed hours

analyzing a chart natal mentally, visualizing the aspects mentally, the

regencies, the conjuncions, etc. and reaching conclusions. Many of my projects

of investigation astrologic have only been in my mind, others are incomplete.

And the saddest thing is not to have friends (here in Lima) that are so or more

interested in studying Vedic astrology in a serious and systematic way. I feel

that I am only and that perhaps it is my destination. However, I have a lot of

hope and the optimism that the circumstances will improve.Then, Why the period

of Saturn-Rahu had characterized by the study of the astrology?1.- Saturn is

regent of the house 1 and it is in the house 7. Saturn aspect to the Lagna.

Rahu in conjunction with Saturn. Rahu aspecta the House 1(Acuario) their own

house. Then, the house 1 is very protected by their regents. But Leo is not

pleasant to Saturn and Rahu.- But, and the negative effects of Saturn and

Rahu?. - Are they alone for my Moon in the house 1 or also for the house

1?. - Can Saturn damage to its own house?- Do Saturn and Rahu have

significances related with the study of astrology?2.- I don't have planets in

the house 4, 5, 9 and 10. (Your see the Jupiter in Pisces in the House 1, Sun

and Venus in the house 5, in the chart of Sanjay Rath). My Jupiter is exalted

in dushtana (in the house 6).3.- Is the answer in my house 2? The Bhavarta

Ratnakara says that the combination of Venus and Mars for the Lagna of Aquarius

don't produce Yoga. Is the answer in the aspect between exalted Jupiter and

exalted Venus?. After the astrology I am very interested in the Fine arts,

especially in music and painting, But the Dasa of Saturn has not allowed me to

deepen more. In the period Saturn-Venus, I spend a lot of solitary time,

painting images of the Pastimes of Krishna .4.- And my Mercury (lord of 5th) is

weakened, without cancellation of weakening (according to the book of Sanjay

Rath, Vimshottari and Udu Dasas). I am imaginative and creative, fond of the

philosophy and the logic (Mars in the 2th, according to the Bavarta

Ratnakara).- How so powerful the aspect can be from Jupiter to the house

2?- Why do I feel that some day I will be a very good Vedic astrologer? Is

only optimism? Or is a certainty with a real base?- Will I finish becoming

an artist in the Dasa of Mercury? Or did they increase a lot but my astrology

studies? Some day I will be able to have the honor of attending (how other

fortunate people) to the conferences of Sanjay Rath? (I am very far, in South

America. I am a not well paid professor). I remember my childhood, when I

looked so intrigued to the full Moon, wondering their reason of being. I

remember when (in my 13 years.) with a pencil I tried to make stellar maps

looking to the dark sky … and wondering: who was that star that appeared at

dusk and that did hide behind the mountains before the other stars? (After I

understood that it was not a star but a planet: Mercury). You are my only study

companions. Perhaps no my friends, but companions of study. It is sad that the

good institutions finish becoming impersonal… there is not time to speak as

friends, but only as scientific. I could not be pupil of a Guru that is not my

friend, it would not work. The friendship can have consequences more strong

that the only duty relation. Is your better friend another astrologer? Thank

you for your time. My bith dates are:Date of Birth: April 23, 1979Time
