My Son

Dear Sean and Wendy,> >Thanks so much for sending your well wishes. It was very

kind of you.> >I am glad to hear Wendy that your son sounds like he is on the

road to recovery from the recent complications of his motorbike accident. >

>Sean your post was wonderful. You shared feelings that I and others have. You

also answered eloquently how many of us have not been recent in postings but do

tap into jyotishvidya on a regular basis to read posts.> >I too lost track of

the various threads when I was pulled away from jyotishvidya last summer with

personal issues and responsibilities - only to sporadically check in for several

weeks. Then months seem to lapse.> >I believe it was last August/September Wendy

when you were away for a while tending to her own personal affairs that I

noticed when you had returned; it was like a breath of fresh air. > >Also,

there are so many wonderful and learned people on this forum that it is always a

treat to view and study the different issues. > >ABOUT MY SON:> >For those that

may be interested.> >7/3/19858:16am (Daylight Savings Time)87 w 48" 01"42 n 10'

54"lace>Highland Park, Illinoislace>lace>USAlace>ASC: Cancer 21*> >There have

always been health issues in my immediate family. Meaning my children, myself

and my husband. My son however, is my hospital baby. Everyone here has chronic

illnesses but this one has suffered the most in his twenty years. Between the

ages of 2 and 6yrs he was in the hospital several times each year for 10 to 12

days at a time with a tent and 3/4 piggy back IV's for various viruses and

bacteria infections which would immediately go to his lungs and breathing with

severe asthma. Twice we also lost him. Once when he was 2yrs to septicemia

another to an allergic reaction to penicillin. I Kidd you not when I tell you

that when he was just a week before turning 4yrs we had to helicopter him off

the Disney boat out in the Bahamas to a hospital on land to stabilize him - to

then air transport him to the intensive care unit of our local children's

hospital here at home. He survived after days of touch and go and I remember he

was so weak he barely could enjoy his "Ghost Buster" toys for his birthday.>

>Anyway, the years come and go and lots of medicines and doctors and missed

school and nebulizer machines, steroids etc. For the last year and a half J has

been sick every other month since he graduated from H.S. Now in his second year

of University he has come down with a severe case of Infectious Mono.> >Gad, the

child is inoculated for everything - pneumonia, flu, hepatitis, MMR even

meningitis but there isn't a vaccine for Mono.> >Anyway, this evening I can sit

at my computer and breathe a little easier now that J is home from the hospital

(today). It has been a roller coaster since he came home sick from University

Monday December 19th. His immune system is weak and he not only picked up a

severe case of Mono (which the doctors feel he will have to miss going back to

University to start the new semester Jan. 9th and be down for at least another 6

weeks) he also has a complication from the mono being strep throat and abscess

tonsils. Blood pressure has been very low too. In fact, just before he was

ambulanced off to hospital from the doctor's office he past out and there on the

floor was the doctor raising his legs to get the blood back into his head while

waiting for the ambulance. This was the day before Christmas Eve, last Friday.

Then yesterday after being home two days he was back in the hospital for more IV

hydration.> >Poor kid, I feel so bad for him. Doctors say it could take him a

good 4 to 6 months to get his energy back if he lays low and not do too much.

Then he needs to have his tonsils out this summer. To make matters worse. He

also is showing signs of a chronic sinus infection which needs to be operated on

this summer too.> >He's twenty years old. He wants to get on with his life and

be with his friends who are all 2000 miles away. Interrupting his University

studies is just disastrous for him psychologically and does put a crimp in his

college schedule. Add to that, he has three productions, an internship with a

well known director this semester and a University comedy club he is in the

beginning setting up with a graduate student. All, opportunities that have to be

canceled or derailed. To J, this is worse than death.> >Late Christmas Eve when

I came home from the hospital I printed out his birth chart, his 2005 chart, his

D-6 chart, the transit chart and I just sat there for hours - barely able to see

straight - trying to see where in his chart his recent health was and his future

prognosis. I couldn't make heads or tails out of it. Then it finally dawned on

me in the wee hours that he is running the Mars/Sun Dasha and both these planets

are in his twelfth house. Along with Saturn - transiting his first house

Cancer//Mo - who is ruler to his eight house. I was looking for throat (2nd hse)

issues and it just drove me nuts. Finally, I saw ruler of his 2nd hse is Sun

and Sun is in his twelfth hse. I know I am missing a whole lot more but

1/29/2006 he is supposed to go into Mars/Moon dasha - so maybe a little better.

But who is kidding who. He has moon in his seventh hse opposite his first,

Cancer ruled by Moon with Saturn there transiting.> >It's going to be a long

road for several months. I am hoping if he can get through these next several

days, weeks, then months, that once his Ra/Ra Dasha starts August 31st he will

be better. Rahu is in his 10th hse. But those transits. I am on high alert.

I am waiting for the other shoe to drop. I thought 2005 was a suffering year,

but it looks like 2006 is going to be even tougher.> >Husband and Daughter too

have both taken turns been quite ill since August. Both husband and Son-in-law

in car accidents in August. I know it's the Mars Saturn transits causing all

sorts of havoc. I can't wait for Mars to move on but then - Taurus through

Virgo are very hot spots for my family and with Saturn lurking around Cancer

until mid 2007 - well.> >Anyway, thanks for the kind words and support -

allowing me to vent, Gotta go, J needs me. He is still a very sick young man.

Home, but on lots of steroids. Liquid Vicoden and continual anti-biotic. He

stopped talking Sunday.> >Uttara,> >p.s. I think J's course of his life is

about to change. If his throat is severely affected long term it will put a

crimp in him being able to follow his theatre career performing. His baritone

voice, his beautiful singing, his comedic timing and his stage voice projection.

He has been on the stage since he was 7yrs old. His favorite acting is

Shakespeare. He has been studying theatre pre-professionally for the last 6yrs.

His Sun in 12th Gemini might just move him to be more spiritual since Gemini

ruler Mercury is in lst hse Cancer ruled by Moon. His theatre studies just

might spin him off into more producing or directing if he stays in the industry.

When he was in 8th grade he was writing college level papers on the Myth of

Stars Wars vs. Muhammad and Jesus. Along with comparative religions.> >It's all

a bewildering guess. Any insights? > >Oh too, I am in agreement with prayers

and meditation and giving homage to the grahas. So, Wendy (and others) you're

not alone. My children too don't want to hear anything about birth charts,

dashas or transits or see them when they are sick. They are barely tolerant

when well. I guess as it should be. It is mine that I found and hum too – not

theirs. > >In the meantime, this evening I am going to pore myself a good glass

of wine, sit in front of the fireplace with my husband and son lounging nearby

on the couch and listen to my operatic music where voices sing like angels. My

computer too and its DSL connections repeatly go down. I can't tell you how

frustrating this is.> >

Dear Uttara,

Many, many thanks for your mail. I would very much like to offer my

comments on your son's chart (as soon as I'm able). At the moment

I'm dragging my heals just to finish commenting on David's...

So fed up with this computer behaving badly that I need to get away

from it completely every now and then. But I'm confident that Balaji

knows I'll get back to his points when I can :-)

Best Wishes,

Mrs. Wendy

January 2, 2006

Dear Debra,

I've just cast your son's chart and am a little confused. You say

he's beginning MA/MO dasa Jan 29 2006. However I have this beginning

Sep 25 2005? Using Lahiri ayanamsha, my software (PL2000), gives

Cancer rising 21°50'50". Can you give me a clue why there's such a

discrepancy with the dasas?
