Achyuta Gurukul] Achyuta Gurukul] Retrograde exalted saturn in 6th House

[Guest guest]

Respected Rampriyaji,

 

Thankyou for your response. Yes, I do need to relax. I was quite

taken aback to begin with and confused about the terms used. You see

I am a beginner in astrology. For instance, what did you mean by JHL?

Does it have anything to do with Jaimini astrology? And then you or

Jagannathanji mentioned something about Maya. It set me wondering

about perceptions derived from horoscopes based on thought process

which may have not anything to do with actual events in life. Maybe

sometime you could explain the concept of Arudha lagna. Then today I

heard a totally new term called anyasis.

 

I am eager to know about all this but I don't know where to begin in

a systematic manner. My interest in astrology is mainly motivated by

the urge to understand self. And to take whatever comes in life with

equanimity. I am a stong believer in free will and concious living.

That is why the talk of mutation of planets - though frankly speaking

that is a crazy idea which may not have any basis in astrology.

 

I "feel" from past experience that Saturn has a strong influence in

my chart. And I would like to believe that it is a positive

influence. (Anything which makes one turn inwards is positive, isn't

it, at least in terms of one's growth / evolution)? But I have 3

retro planets (not counting the outer planets) which makes me wonder

about the curses from past life. Could you refer me to some material

on this? There was a discussion sometime back on retro planets in

which Nisha Mallik had posed some very good questions. I havn't seen

a reply to those questions so far.

 

Anyway, I hope to meet you again and again on the forum to clarify my

doubts.

 

Thankyou once again for your response.

 

Regards,

 

Vinita

not retro. Misunderstandings can occur both in conveyancing and

comprehending, isn't it? I left my comment at that because I thought

you would figure it thereon.

exalted 9th lord is generally desirable, it's a mixed blessing for a

fixed-sign lagna, 9th lord being a badhakesha. A strong 9th lord

might possibly mean an obstruction because of righteousness! Also,

there are those here who sell that a retro exalted planet is

virtually a deb one; depends whether you want to buy that. I don't.

and who's curse it is depends on the caste of the graha. I'm sure

you'll deduce hereon.

in your chart. No, he can't be deemed a malefic as such but remains a

badhaka nonetheless.

Saturn on 8th House (saggitarius) containing Mars (retro) and Rahu?

(Will it make these planets behave better - mutate the evil influence

during the MD of these planets?).

heard the mutationary thing about Sa's 3rd drishti, so can't say. Ma

in 3rd from Sa is good anyways since it'd ultimately make them

neutral to each other.
