January 29, 2004....

Dear Friends:

Welcome to this new newsletter.

I'm asking people who are signing up for this newsletter to please send in to me

your background in Jyotish. I find it very helpful knowing what people have

experienced so far

in Jyotish.

 

Also, if you've had many Jyotish charts done and your expereience with them.

And finally, please describe what you would wish to know more about Jyotish and

especially re. this Advanced Newsletter.

Take care and already this going deeper into Jyotish has been quite fun.

Sincerely,

Mark Kincaid

PS.... this will be one of the last times...that I send this to the general list.

If you'd like to receive these periodic Advanced Newsletter please let me know...

Dear Friends:

This is the Second, Advanced Star Bulletin.

Because so many of you have expressed and interest in more advanced Astrological

discussions; I'm starting this newsletter.

Today, my thoughts are running kind of 'practical' in terms of understanding Jyotish.

Was thinking this morning and these thoughts occured to me:

The Key to Life.....!

The Key to Life, is either we're in-tune with our 'Astrology', or we're not.

What this means is either we're in-tune with the laws of Nature, of Life,

which the Jyotish understands and expresses... very clearly; or...we're not.

See, most people are totally unaware of which Planet or part of their Chart...

are they 'out of tune' with..... and as a result their life's experiences and even

accomplishments are very hit and miss.

However....

The True Goal of Jyotish.....!

The True Goal of Jyotish, then, as it is in Life..... is to Master, better those

laws of nature which are represented in the Jyotish.... and as a result become

more successful in life!

Take any aspect of life... whether career, relationships, making money,

children, health, whatever...

Identify...the part of your Life....that you wish to improve!

Then, look into the Chart.... Find that Planet of part of your Chart, that's

indicative....of that challenge or lack of fulfillment....

And Identify....the 'Malefic' components...that are literally responsible for

your lack....of something....

Now, Seek...to Strengthen or Transform that 'malefic' something... from a

malefic .... into it's Benefic, counter-part.

As you do this.... you'll be doing Life!

This is What Life is about....!

The "Nature of Life is to Grow".....!

some wise man said once!

So.... identify that which you'd like to improve!

or to grow with, or what we'd like to....accomplish...or achieve....?

And then, let's figure out how....to improve....that Jyotish Planet or malefic

configuration....and then....we'll find our life transformed!

improved.... and flowing in a way....previously thought impossible!

Let's take the example of 'Self-confidence'....

I like this example because in my own experience, one's self-confidence is at

the very heart, the key....to success in life.

If you don't feel like you can do it.

If you feel that you're not worthy....etc. then generally, success is a struggle,

hard and certainly laborious and probably fleeting....!

Why would this be true?

As it turns out, our Sun's in our charts...are the Jyotish Planet and/ or

configuration that's responsible for Self-confidence...

And because the Sun's at the very heart of our existence, as it is, reflecting

our, 'I'...our individuality...or 'egos'.... then it's not surprising that so

much attention has been put in modern Psychology.... in to how one can improve

one's self-confidence.

Unfortunately, the efforts and modalities commonly sought, like psycho-therapy,

or self-improvement books or inspiring aspirations... don't go deep

enough...and for millions of people this is a very real and perplexing problem.

>From a Jyotish and/or even Vedic point of view...this huge, human problem is actually very simple.

One can find out fairly quickly where the Sun is and if it's being aggravated,

and then .... there's actually....some Wisdom in our charts.... that we're not

quite understanding...

But, one...which we can master, and having understood and transformed, better...

then we'll find literally, our Sun...is stronger!

One of my greatest insights into Jyotish....Is!....

that the malefics in our charts....are not only responsible for our problems,

challenges and griefs...in life...

But,,....and here's the kicker!.... these same malefics...are literally....

symbolic of that....Jyotish or Vedic...thing that we should be doing....

That...if we can do....will literally allow us...

to strengthen, and transform.... and literally.... change, improve...

that malefic situation!

This is at the very heart of Jyotish-remedies.

Traditionally.... many kinds of prescriptions are recommended....

You have your gems... which are related and supposed to strengthen the offending Planet...

You have things like Yantras....which are supposed to help strengthen particular Planets....

You have Yaguas, Vedic engineerings... which are supposed to appeal directly to

the 'intelligences' inherent in the Planets, themselves.. and make those

Planets, stronger! or...more balanced...

Then you have Jyotish suggestions... like 'feeding the birds'.... and other

similar, though cryptic formulas, that are, somehow, supposed to strengthen a

malefic or offending Planet.

I remember the first time, I heard the suggestion that if one had kuja dosha in

one's chart....a particular affliction of Mars aspecting the 7th House of

marriage, then all one needed to do...was marry someone else...who had a

similar situation....and everything would work out!

Or an even more fun one was; 'If you had two marriages in your chart, then you

could actually marry a tree, first...and then divorce it...and get ready for

your 2nd real, marriage!'

Unfortunately, practical experience shows that, these things often, doen't

work out so perfectly.

I'm happy to report, however, that over the years I have stumbled upon an

approach which I've found is extremely profound.... in alleviating malefic

situations in our charts....

Simply put, it is based around that realization that there is some Wisdom in our

charts.... around our Malefic situations.

And this, it turns out is very similar to life, itself.

For example, we're rushing to work, we've got a very important meeting to get

to.... it's crucial...sooooo much depends upon it...

And what happens?

You guessed it... we have an accident....

We fall down...

Or we slip... crash...or burn....

In any case we have a Mars accident.

Sometimes...we want to blame....life...so we resort to cursing...

We blame God...!....we blame the situation....we blame the traffic, those

people or circumstances...that are driving us to have this challenge....

then, we remember our Jyotish.

We call a friend and ask...can you see why I'm having so much trouble, right now!

And boom!... the astrologer, the jyotishee, the friend....says....

'Wow....well, it looks like you're in a Mars...antardasa period.... or wow, on

that day, Mars and Moon were colliding ....in your 8th house...!

And we don't know what the 'heck'..... they're talking about... but we start to

get a glimmer....that there's some reason why we're going through what we're

going through.

In the case of life, itself.... we don't hear...anything....

God doesn't yell out.... beware!....

your Mars....is square to your Mercury....and ......

Life, very simply.... let's us do what we want...

and yet...with only one important...stipulation....

we will experience the consequences of those actions...

Actually, it's not quite true, Nature doesn't say anything...

Because in the 'Signs' aspect to Vedic knowledge.... Nature is constantly

telling us...we're getting out of tune.... we just don't pay attention.

We stay up late for days...working on a very important project...and we know

it's not healthy. Our bodies and even minds tell us we're getting out of

balance.... we feel tired, we feel dull, we feel irritable.... but we keep

ignorning these 'Signs'...and eventually, boom!...we end up on our back!

Then,....we start...to listen.....

As far as actions and consequences go.....

In the West we say....'as you sow so shall you reap...'... and

in the East...we simply say....'karma'!

In modern science, physicists...have even learned to say...'For every action,

there's an equal and opposite re-action.'

It's too bad they have only applied this to the physical sciences, like physics,

and sub-atomic particles...running around....! hehehe

If they could only apply to Psycholgy!....then people would begin to realize..

that all we ever experience.....is something...related...to some pattern that

we've started from the past...and right now, are reaping the benefits or

consequences...of!

Jyotish, in fact, has realized this for thousands of year...

It's at the very heart of Vedic knowledge.... so much so that... the word, even,

'Karma'...is one of the most well-known words in the world.

Unfortunately, it's not completely known, well.

Karma means action... And therefore it's used to describe the whole scenario of

actions and re-action. But, what gets lost too often is the fact, that at

every moment...we have the potenial, the ability...to literally change our

trends of time....

We're going down a hill, and we find ourselves going too fast.. we're gaining

speed, and we're getting nervous...

And then we remember.... 'I'm going too fast'...

and being wary of crashing and burning...

we make an effort....

we decide...to change our ways...

we do something...

we do anything....to change...this danger on the horizon....

and life is transformed!

Well, in Jyotish we gain the amazing ability to 'psyche' out this whole situation, very simply.

We don't have to just go through our karmas...and learn through trial and error.

In fact we want to learn....in Consciousness...

and if we can desire to change...

if we can aspire to learn that thing....which has previously been lacking...

then, maybe....just maybe...we'll be able to change our patterns...

to change...our sanskaras.....

and change...our trends of time!

We have it within, us!

We just need to have one experience....in this direction....

and we'll be transformed!

I remember the very first time, I realized...I had it in me...to change...

It was one of the most wonderful moments of my life.

When I was in India, in 1988, attending an Ayurvedic course, on health...

I heard of this idea...that one could change the patterns of eating, of health,

of ill-health...that might be there....

But...

and here was the kicker.... one had to change.... literally, the memory....

that was there....in our very cells..that was so-far...leading us astray,

causing us to be attracted, spontaneously, even...to the wrong kinds of foods,

or habits of eating and indigestion!

And I came back to the states....looking at myself...differently.....

But, I soon found a habit that I thought was suspect.

I remember there was this one cookie, at a store in town, which I enjoyed

emmensely.... well, at least from the neck up.... but I had a sinking feeling,

that it may be indicative.... of some bad habit that is ...there inside of me...

In fact.....I should be able to verify it according to my Jyotish.

Which is one of the things I learned on my trip to India....which was to compare

one's Jyotish to one's Ayurvedic....pulse.... or one's life....

Then, when I looked at my chart....I thought I could see it...

My Saturn was in the 12th...and aspecting the 2nd house of food, I did see that

I was attracted....to old, dead and dieing...foods.... like junk food and dry

food, ....but...

I also noticed I had my Jupiter, in the 6th house of health...which also aspected my 2nd....house...

and I remembered...I was also, simutaneously.... attracted to health foods,

organic, fresh....and sattvic foods...

That was certainly Jupiter's good influence!

So...I tried to remember the Ayurvedic technique I had heard about...

'Ok, to change the pattern...one must change the memory that's literally in the

cells...that causing me...to spontaneously...want that...which may be not quite

right!'....

ehhehe

So... I paid more attention...

This was the first instruction....

Allow yourself...to eat that thing.... but pay attention.....

First time I did this... 'ahhhh, it tasted soooo good!........... but...

after a few moments... of paying attention....I realized... it kind of made my

throat a little scratchy...and felt a little heavy in my stomach.....'

I then watched how I reacted....'Oh...that can't be...it's my favorite cookie!'

Interesting, I thought...

But, I wasn't supposed to fight my impulses.... just pay attention... and learn!

So...I let myself...eat it a 2nd time...and

'Ahhhh...it's goooood..my favorite cookie...... but...then...again...scratchy

going down, and heavy in the stomach.... And this time, I noticed...the little

nodes in my neck felt...kind of clogged.. If you know what I mean....

And I went...oh, no...my favorite cookie...!

Well, I kept it up....a 3rd time, 4th time...and...until...finally, a 6th time...

and I reached for that good ol' cookie...and I watched as my body...revolted at

the prospect.... I literally felt kind of ill.....at the prospect of eating

that thing..

And all of a sudden I realized...it was done!

I no longer had that craving...for that thing...which I was attracted to...

and was really not healthy for myself...

And boom!....I got it....!

Wow, if this works for a simple habit of eating...maybe this technique can be

applied to other...'malefic' situations...in my chart!

And this was the beginning of my entire....research into Jyotish...

Can the malefics..be understood...

and even more importantly...can they be transformed....into something else.!

As I've learned to pay more and more attention...and learning the Wisdoms that

each planet represents.... I've discovered....literally....

that any and all malefics inside of us....!

Can be transformed!

It's not only possible...it's literally what!...we're supposed to do!

We were born to live, to utilize...to flow within our strengths!

But, we were also born...to grasp, and understand the significance..of our

malefics...and then....literally transform them!

So,....decide....what area of your life...would you like to improve!

What do you want to achieve!

What's holding you back!

Then, identify...those....malefic...situations in our charts...that's literally,

causing us our griefs!, upsetnesses...and disappointments...

So, #1....let's identify the malefics that are standing in our way!

And #2...let's figure out how we can literally....transform that malefic into a Strength!

Okay....getting back to that first example of Self-confidence....

Let's say we think we have some lack of self-confidence...

And when we look at our chart, we do find that our Sun's are aggravated by some

malefics...or itself...seems to be functioning in a malefic..way....

So...let's see if we can understand the nature of the 'maleficness'.... and begin,

to develop a strategy...to literally transform and improve our Sun's!

Okay...le'ts say...our Sun's in the 8th house...and it's with Saturn...

And our father did pass on early...which is one of the predictions of that

Jyotish situation. And we ourselves...do have a poor self-confidence...

So....there it is!....It's in our chart!

But, that chart configuration is not just symbolic of a life long problem!

It's also symbolic of some specific, precise.... strategies...that one can and is

supposed to change...

Okay... let's say...the Sun...is the ruler of the 10th house... and is in the 8th.

And I do notice that my lack of self-confidence is wrapped up around my work.

In fact I don't even know what I'm supposed to do.

In fact, it's literally true, that Saturn is causing delays, frustrations..and

disappointments...to my Sun...and also...to the 10th house...

And I do have chronic health complaints which are another signification of the 8th house...

So, the chart's been verified...as being correct...

but... what can I do... to change this!

Someone gives us a hint!

#1...Your Sun itself...can be strengthened....

Your Sun...represents...'you', your 'father' and on and one...till we get to God!

God is the ultimate signification of the Sun. God...or the Self....

So... the first remedy I'd suggest...would be to strengthen your Sun... through

traditional Vedic formulas that are there regarding Self-Realization.

Meditation is the #1, technique of choice...that, when practiced...can and has

shown...that significant.... situations of lack of self-confidence... can be

suddenly transformed.

For many this is like the light of life...the Sun.... is enlivened...and

suddenly, like a burst of Sun...breaking from through the clouds.... we're

transformed..

the darkness is found...gone! because the light of the Sun....has been enlivened...

Now, for those who are already meditating...and doing it long enough and

regularly enough that something else might need to be considered...

my second prescription of choice...

#2..... Would be to enliven.... the Sun....through some other Vedic Literature.

Have you heard of the Upanishads? They're the Vedic packet of knowledge that's

literally concerned with the Self...

In the Upanishads, for example, it talks about the Self...as Brahman...

Know that you, yourself our that Supreme light of Life...

"Thou art That'..." In fact.... "I am that!" and .... "All this is That!"

These are what are called Vedic Mahavakyas, or unique expressions of

knowledge...that especially when one is having the direct experience of that

field of life, of intelligence, of consciousness.....

where the full potential of the Self...

where the full potential of the Sun....

Resides!

And when you reflect on that.... your Sun....can be found...improving!

Then, there's another tact that one can gleem from one's chart...

Sun, there in the 8th is also with Saturn...and Saturn is acting malefically,

causing us early 'separation' from our Father...and literal separation from ourSelf!

Hence..the real core of our malefic situtation....is that Saturn too...is partly

responsible...for our....malefic...Sun and it's lack of Self-confidence...

So....we can aspire to strengthen...our Saturns....and that should have an

immediate and direct....effect on our Sun's....improving!

And so, I go into this long discussion about all the ways...and means...in which

Saturn, too can be transformed....

And, practicing..these....very quickly....we'll find ourselves...with more Self-Confidence!

So....there you go... A mouthful....

blame it on the snow storm...raging....around my house...today....

Anyway.... I hope you all found these thoughts exciting...and challenging...

Let's seek to #1...find ourselves...in our Charts...

and

#2....figure out....any ways... of strengthening ourselves... too!

And feel free to write in, and comment...and offer up any other topics...

or examples of other people's charts which we can play and learn from.

take care

Jai Guru!

health foods, organic, fresh....and sattvic foods...That was certainly

Jupiter's good influence!So...I tried to remember the Ayurvedic technique I had

heard about...'Ok, to change the pattern...one must change the memory that's

literally in the cells...that causing me...to spontaneously...want that...which

may be not quite right!'....ehheheSo... I paid more attention...This was the

first instruction....Allow yourself...to eat that thing.... but pay

attention.....First

time I did this... 'ahhhh, it tasted soooo good!........... but...after a few

moments... of paying attention....I realized... it kind of made my throat a

little scratchy...and felt a little heavy in my stomach.....'I then watched how

I reacted....'Oh...that can't be...it's my favorite cookie!'Interesting, I

thought...But, I wasn't supposed to fight my impulses.... just pay attention...

and learn!So...I let myself...eat it a 2nd time...and'Ahhhh...it's goooood..my

favorite cookie...... but...then...again...scratchy going down, and heavy in

the stomach.... And this time, I noticed...the little nodes in my neck

felt...kind of clogged.. If you know what I mean....And I went...oh, no...my

favorite cookie...!Well, I kept it up....a 3rd time, 4th

time...and...until...finally, a 6th time...and I reached for that good ol'

cookie...and I watched as my body...revolted at the prospect.... I literally

felt kind of ill.....at the prospect of eating that

thing..And all of a sudden I realized...it was done!I no longer had that

craving...for that thing...which I was attracted to...and was really not

healthy for myself...And boom!....I got it....!Wow, if this works for a simple

habit of eating...maybe this technique can be applied to other...'malefic'

situations...in my chart!And this was the beginning of my entire....research

into Jyotish...Can the malefics..be understood...and even more

importantly...can they be transformed....into something else.!As I've learned

to pay more and more attention...and learning the Wisdoms that each planet

represents.... I've discovered....literally....that any and all malefics inside

of us....!Can be transformed!It's not only possible...it's literally

what!...we're

supposed to do!We were born to live, to utilize...to flow within our

strengths!But, we were also born...to grasp, and understand the

significance..of our malefics...and then....literally transform

them!So,....decide....what area of your life...would you like to improve!What

do you want to achieve!What's holding you back!Then,

identify...those....malefic...situations in our charts...that's

literally,causing us our griefs!, upsetnesses...and disappointments...So,

#1....let's identify the malefics that are standing in our way!And #2...let's

figure out how we can literally....transform that malefic into a

Strength!Okay....getting back to that first example of

Self-confidence....Let's say we think we have some lack of self-confidence...And

when we look at our chart, we do find that our Sun's are aggravated by some

malefics...or itself...seems to be functioning in a malefic..way....So...let's

see if we can understand the nature of the 'maleficness'.... and begin,to

develop a strategy...to literally transform and improve our Sun's!Okay...le'ts

say...our Sun's in the 8th house...and it's with Saturn...And our father did

pass on early...which is one of the predictions of that Jyotish situation.

And we ourselves...do have a poor self-confidence...So....there it is!....It's

in our chart!But, that chart configuration is not just symbolic of a life long

problem!It's also symbolic of some specific, precise.... strategies...that one

can and issupposed to change...Okay... let's say...the Sun...is the ruler of

the 10th house... and is in the 8th.And I do

notice that my lack of self-confidence is wrapped up around my work. In fact I

don't even know what I'm supposed to do.In fact, it's literally true, that

Saturn is causing delays, frustrations..and disappointments...to my Sun...and

also...to the 10th house...And I do have chronic health complaints which are

another signification of the 8th house...So, the chart's been verified...as

being correct...but... what can I do... to change this!Someone gives us a

hint!#1...Your Sun itself...can be strengthened....Your

Sun...represents...'you', your 'father' and on and one...till we get to God!God

is the ultimate signification of the Sun. God...or the Self....So... the first

remedy I'd suggest...would be to strengthen your Sun... through traditional

Vedic formulas that are there regarding Self-Realization.Meditation is the #1,

technique of choice...that, when practiced...can and has shown...that

significant.... situations

of lack of self-confidence... can be suddenly transformed.For many this is like

the light of life...the Sun.... is enlivened...and suddenly, like a burst of

Sun...breaking from through the clouds.... we're transformed..the darkness is

found...gone! because the light of the Sun....has been enlivened...Now, for

those who are already meditating...and doing it long enough and regularly

enough that something else might need to be considered...my second prescription

of choice...#2..... Would be to enliven.... the Sun....through some other Vedic

Literature.Have you heard of the Upanishads? They're the Vedic packet of

knowledge that's literally concerned with the Self...In the Upanishads, for

example, it talks about the Self...as Brahman...Know that you, yourself our

that Supreme light of Life..."Thou art That'..." In fact.... "I am that!" and

..... "All this is That!"These are what are called Vedic Mahavakyas,

or unique expressions of knowledge...that especially when one is having the

direct experience of that field of life, of intelligence, of

consciousness.....where the full potential of the Self...where the full

potential of the Sun....Resides!And when you reflect on that.... your

Sun....can be found...improving!Then, there's another tact that one can gleem

from one's chart...Sun, there in the 8th is also with Saturn...and Saturn is

acting malefically,causing us early 'separation' from our Father...and literal

separation from ourSelf! Hence..the real core of our malefic situtation....is

that Saturn too...is partly responsible...for our....malefic...Sun and it's

lack of Self-confidence...So....we can aspire to strengthen...our

Saturns....and that should have an immediate and direct....effect on our

Sun's....improving!And so, I go into this long discussion about all the

ways...and means...in which Saturn, too can be

transformed....And, practicing..these....very quickly....we'll find

ourselves...with more Self-Confidence!So....there you go... A mouthful....blame

it on the snow storm...raging....around my house...today....Anyway.... I hope

you all found these thoughts exciting...and challenging...Let's seek to

#1...find ourselves...in our Charts...and#2....figure out....any ways... of

strengthening ourselves... too!And feel free to write in, and comment...and

offer up any other topics...or examples of other people's charts which we can

play and learn from.take careJai Guru!Mark Kincaid~! LIFE MEANS STRUGGLE, THE
