I have only one reply to this: If you really want to love others, if you really want to help them, first you should efface yourself; you should destroy the petty EGO that seperates you fromothers and from GOD. I quote MANSUR MASTANA>> I repeat: "Mansur Mastana": "Totally annihilate yourself if you want to acquire DIVINITY". Unless you efface yourSELF, you will never be able to find GOD. It is only when a seed has annihilated itself in the soil that it grows and produces beautiful FLOWERS and FRUITS. In the same way, it is only when you discard your limited EGO that you will be able to TRULY love. The seed of the world is "I", SUPREME TRUTH., Consciousness, and it is the same for everybody. It belongs equally to ALL. I repeat "EQUALLY TO ALL". The Consciousness exists within itself, and in the same measure it exists in us and in everyone - in you, in me, in Buddha, in Mohammed, in Moses, in JESUS. --Om Tat Sat , "diana" <diana22@a...> wrote: > FAQ about Islam > (Frequently Asked Questions) > Who is Allah? > Allah means God. It is a personal name, which Allah calls Himself in the Koran. That is where we get it. It can also be found in an Aramaic copy of the Bible, and even Christian Arabs say Allah. > Who is Jesus to us? > Jesus peace be upon Him is a true prophet. Sent by Allah like Moses, Abraham, Lot, Noah, Jonah, Joseph ...etc. > Who were Jesus's parents? > Jesus is the son of Virgin Mary, and he had no father. Allah created Jesus. > Can Jesus, or Mohammed peace be upon them be worshipped? > No, Allah does not accept that a cow, a person, an angel, a prophet, a stone, or anything be worshipped in place of him, or even along with Him. Worship must be to Allah the creator of them. > Is Allah the same as what Christians call the father? > Allah is the creator who Jesus worshipped. He is the Creator who spoke to Moses, and split the sea for Moses, and his followers. That is Allah. But Allah tells us: "Say Allah is one, He is Perfect, He has never begotten, nor was He begott, and there is no one equal to Him". > Is there a trinity in Islam? > No. Allah is perfect. > Do we believe that Allah created the heavens and earth in 6 days? > Yes, but He did not rest on the seventh day, because He did not get tired. Allah is perfect He does not get tired, nor does He sleep, eat, go to the bathroom, feel pain, or die for that matter. > Can we see Allah? > Allah is not like the sun. Anyone can see the Sun. But Allah is the most beautiful. Nothing is as beautiful as Allah. Actually looking at Allah is the greatest pleasure of the people in Pradise. This pleasure Allah does not give anyone but the believers. So no one will see Allah before he dies. > Does Allah see us? > Allah sees us, and knows everything about us. He knows us better than we know ourselves. There is not a leaf on a tree that blows away, or stays in its place except that He knows it. There is not a dry spot, nor a wet spot, nor a grain in the depths of the earth except that Allah knows it. > Do we have free will? > Yes, of course. Allah does not punish us for something we did not do on our own. But at the same time, our will is not inspire of Allah's will. We cannot do anything if Allah will not allow it. In other words nothing goes on in Allah's kingdom without His will. > Did Allah create Evil? > Yes, Allah created the good, and the bad. Whatever bad happens to us is due to our sins. We sin and Allah pardons much of what we do; however, when something bad happens to us it is our fault, and we are to blame. Bad things that happen to a person are a chance for that person to reflect, and ask: "Why is this happening to me?" A chance for a person to return from his sin, and obey, and worship Allah. > Do bad things happen to the believers (good people)? > Yes, they do. But they appear bad to the believers cause they are things people don't like. Who likes breaking a leg? However, when a bad thing happens to a believer this believer is patient. He praises Allah in all circumstances. He knows Allah does not decree something unless it is for his own good. > But how can breaking a leg are good for a beleiver? > Because it is a chance for the believer to think about what he did wrong. > Also because Allah forgives much of what we do, but those things we are not forgiven, they are forgiven due to our patience when we are struck by a calamity. Allah gives us better reward when a problem strikes us on earth if we are patient. This reward can be on earth, and it can be in Heaven. > Does Allah hear my prayers? > Yes. > Does Allah answer my prayers? > We know that Allah answers all the prayers of the believers. This can be in 4 ways: > 1- Get what we are asking for! > 2- Get something as good or better! > 3- We get spared something bad that would have happened otherwise. > 4- We get rewarded on the day of Judgment with a much greater reward than what we were asking for on earth. > When does Allah not answer our prayers? > * When it is bad for us! > * When we ask, but not from our heart! > * When we say: I asked and asked and He did not answer. > * When we eat, drink, and wear unlawful, food, and clothes, and property that wa earned either through interest from the bank, or that was stolen, or if the food was pork, or the like. > What can I ask of Allah? > Any thing but don't ask Him to do things like make you a prophet. Cause He has already said that there will be no more prophets. > You can ask Allah for guidance. Meaning you can ask Him to show you the correct religion. > Who are my best friends? > Your best friends are the ones that care where you go after you are dead. This is like the prophets. They cared that we go to heaven, even if it meant some hardship on earth. > Who is my worst enemy? > That would be the devils, whether they are human devils (evil people), or Jinn devils (like Iblis) The Arabic word for a devil is Shaytan (similar to Satan). Satan wants us all to go to hell. He wants us to be bad on earth, even if we get rich, or do lots of wrong things that we appear to enjoy, he does not mind that. But he wants to make sure we don't go to heaven. > What is it that keeps us from entering Heaven? > Worship of anyone other than Allah is the greatest sin. It is called shirk, and this is not forgiven except through repentance. > Where is Allah? > Allah is the highest. He is high above ALL of His creation. He is ascended upon a Throne, which is greater than the heavens, and the Earth. Much much much greater than the heavens and the earth. So much greater that the heavens and the earth could fit in the footstool of the throne, and they would be like a ring thrown into an open desert. Allah is certainly the greatest. > Does Allah look like us? > No Allah is perfect. He is not like any of His creation. He has told us that He has Hands, Eyes, a Face, and Foot. But all of these attributes are befitting to His might and Glory. > A Muslim does not say a single thing about Allah other than what Allah says about Himself. We don't say He is like a clover, He got tired, He is Jealous! > Allah is Perfect, and Unique. > What does it mean to believe in Allah? > It means to believe in Allah in total perfection, and uniqueness. > It means to believe in His prophets cause they are His, and He sent them. We cannot pick and choose. A Muslim must believe in all the prophets of Allah. > It means to believe in the Angles! We must love them all, we cannot hate an Angel say, for example, to hate Michael who is charged with rain, and the vegetation of the Earth, or Gabriel who is charged with revelation (brings down the scriptures to the prophets). > It means to believe in Allah's predestination of good, and bad (relative to us, but to Allah everything Allah does is good). > It means to believe in the last day: The day of Judgment. > When is the Day of Judgment? > Only Allah knows. > Are there signs for the day of Judgment? > Plenty, plenty, plenty. Many have already occurred. > To name a few, > Objects will begin to talk. > There will be much killing. The killer won't know why he killed, and the guy that was killed won't know why he was killed. > The Antichrist will come. > Prophet Jesus son of Mary will return. > Gog and Magog will be set free. > The sun will rise from the west (after this one there can be no more repentance) > What about non-Muslims do they go to heaven? > Allah only accepts Islam. He says in the Koran: "Whoever seeks a religion other than Islam it won't be accepted of him, and he will be one of the loosers in the hereafter". I would rather loose anywhere, but not loose in the hereafter. This is because Hellfire is eternal. It never ends, and we never die when we go there, if we go there. > What about someone who never heard of Islam? > Allah is the most just. Don't even think that we can be nicer than Allah. Allah is the Most Just, and He said in the Koran "We were not to punish till having sent a warner". The "We" here is the majestic we used in Arabic. So if a person never heard about Islam, and was never warned clearly Allah would have a special test for that person that He knows is equal to the chance that person would have had on earth. > How do we know Islam is the truth? > It is the only religion that: > 1- Hold Allah as One, Unique, and Perfect. > 2- A lonly worship of Allah, not Jesus, not an idol, and not an angel only Allah. > 3- The Koran does not contain contradictions. > 4- The Koran contains scientific facts, which are 1300 years ahead of their time. The Koran while revealed 1400 years ago contains scientific facts, which are only now being discovered. It is not in contradiction to science. > 5- Allah challenges the world to produce the like of the Koran. And He says they won't be able to. > 6- Prophet Mohammed was the most influential man in History. Even a non-Muslim wrote a book called the 100 most influential men in History, and Prophet Mohammed was #1. Prophet Jesus was #3. Note even Prophet Jesus was a prophet sent by Allah. Would Allah allow a false prophet to be so successful? No. Even the Bible says this in Deuteronomy 18:19. A false prophet would die!!! Yet Prophet Mohammed did not die till he completely conveyed, and taught Allah's religion. > 7- He had many prophecies, and all of his prophecies have come true, or are still coming true. > Most importantly is this: > Allah created us, and we know that we should only worship Him. This is an instinct Allah has created us with. He did not just leave us, rather He sent prophets for us. These prophets had miracles as proof. The miracle for us today is the Koran. There is no other religion that worships only Allah, and believes in Him as totally perfect, and believes in all of His prophets, and scriptures. > Can anyone become a Muslim? > Yes anyone can. There are two declarations, which are necessary: > 1- To bear witness that no one deserves to be worship except Allah > 2- To bear witness that Prophet Mohammed is the Messenger of Allah. > This makes a person Muslim. But it should be said in Arabic. Next a person takes a shower, and He/She is a Muslim. > Then What? > After a person becomes Muslim he/she is taught about Prayers, Fasting, the Poor due, Pilgrimage. These are pillars of Islam. > Then What? > Muslims are brothers. A Muslim should love for his brother what he loves for himself. Allah's wealth does not run out, and Allah can provide for us all. We pray for each other, and love each other, and love for our brothers and sisters what we love for ourselves. > > > > For more information about Islam: > http://www.geocities.com/toislamways/new3.html > > To contact us: > iaslamq_a@g... > > To Request Free Islamic Books & Resources: > imanwayibaw@g... ______________________ ______________________ Message: 2 Mon, 29 Mar 2004 23:04:38 -0000 "venkatarama_sastry" <venkatarama_sastry Re: Frequently Asked Questions Hi Diana, You must have mistakenly posted this to this newsgroup.

Just curious ... (maybe you answered it I didnt go thru all mails) I think the points that were put forward in the earlier mail about islam are core to every religion that there is only one universal father ... and praying to anyone else will lead to only a stage from which we need to go higher .. so in a sense are counter productive ... It's like having a destination to reach and catching different trains to reach there or directly go there .. both have a relevence for different travellers from different places (figuratively different states of evolution)... however to me its definitely not a sin to conceptualize god ... simply because Allah is inconcievable to the senses that we are subject to ... and sometimes it;s not a bad idea to first for a conception to move higher and then get rid of that conception and embrace the ultimate ... if a stone is also a part of allah .. then offering prayers to allah through the medium of stone is certainly not wrong because we cannot concieve allah himself in all his glory ... I also dont agree that (just a personal view) the universal father can come into the fold of any one religion ... --- indervohra2001 <indervohra2001 wrote: > Dear Venkat, > I dont think you are right in saying so ,as there > are many often > messages on religion, Yoga, philosphy etc in this > forum. > Inder > > > In , > "venkatarama_sastry" > <venkatarama_sastry> wrote: > > Hi Diana, > > > > You must have mistakenly posted this to this > newsgroup.

TO DETERMINE THE BENEFICS & MALEFICS IN A CHART Benefics - Lords of 1,5,9 Yogakaraka -Lords of 1,5,9 & of 4, 7, 10, if natural malefic. Malefics - Lords of 3,6 Maraka -11and lords of 4,7,10,if natural benefic Neutral - Lord of 2,8, 12. BY ABOVE RULES (AS PER LORDSHIP OF PLANETS) WE GET IN ANY HOROSCOPE 1.YOGAKARAKA(STRONG/WEAK) 2.BENEFIC(STRONG/WEAK) 3.MALEFIC(STRONG/WEAK) 1.Does a planet stand out in being unusually weak? This is the one that might need some help,Then we look at the malefics in the same way. Is one planet more malefic than the others? Is it also strong in bala? This is the one that might need to be focused on. The weak malefic & strong benefic is a blessing? The weak benefic and the strong malefic planets are the ones that require remedial assistance 2.IF A BENEFIC/YOGAKARAKA IS IN 3,6,8,12 HOUSES DOES IT DO ANY GOOD ? 3.IF A MALEFIC IS IN 1,4,7,10,5,9,2,11 HOUSES DOES IT DO ANY GOOD ? 4.IF A PLANET OWNS A KENDRA/KONA & DUSHTANA/(2,11) HOUSES SIMULTANOUSLY DOES IT BEHAVES AS BENEFIC/MALEFIC ? CASES: 1.IF SATURN(NATURAL MALEFIC) OWNS 7,6 HOUSES IN A CHART THEN IT BECOMES MALEFIC/BENEFIC ? 2.IF JUPITER(NATURAL BENEFIC) OWNS 5,8 HOUSES IN A CHART THEN IT BECOMES MALEFIC/BENEFIC ? 3.IF MERCURY(NEUTRAL) OWNS 2,11 HOUSES IN A CHART THEN IT BECOMES MALEFIC/BENEFIC ? 5.WAYS OF REMEDIES -WEARING GEMSTONES,COLORS -DONATION and CHARITY -PRAYERS -AVOIDING CERTAIN THINGS MY DOUBTS: 1. if we donate/feed things of a malefic we are able to lessen its harmful effects,but if we donate/feed things of a benefic do we lessen/increase its benefic effects? as we perform charity,we hand over the ownership and do not have the right to use that thing anymore, as it no longer belongs to us, ARE WE STRENGTHEN/WEAKEN BY DONATEING THE THINGS OF BENEFIC PLANETS? EXAMPLE: IF MERCURY IS IN 5th HOUSE (AS LORD OF 2nd & 11th HOUSE) IN A HOROSCOPE,AS green pulses belongs to mercury if he donates them does it strengthen/weaken his mercury? ______________________ ______________________ Message: 10 Tue, 30 Mar 2004 02:15:42 -0800 (PST) Manoshi Chatterjee <khallopapa Re: Re: Frequently Asked Questions-->Sanjay Sanjay, Tell me something.

But Allah is the most beautiful. Nothing is as beautiful as Allah. Actually looking at Allah is the greatest pleasure of the people in Pradise. This pleasure Allah does not give anyone but the believers. So no one will see Allah before he dies. > Does Allah see us? > Allah sees us, and knows everything about us. He knows us better than we know ourselves. There is not a leaf on a tree that blows away, or stays in its place except that He knows it. There is not a dry spot, nor a wet spot, nor a grain in the depths of the earth except that Allah knows it. > Do we have free will? > Yes, of course. Allah does not punish us for something we did not do on our own. But at the same time, our will is not inspire of Allah's will. We cannot do anything if Allah will not allow it. In other words nothing goes on in Allah's kingdom without His will. > Did Allah create Evil? > Yes, Allah created the good, and the bad. Whatever bad happens to us is due to our sins. We sin and Allah pardons much of what we do; however, when something bad happens to us it is our fault, and we are to blame. Bad things that happen to a person are a chance for that person to reflect, and ask: "Why is this happening to me?" A chance for a person to return from his sin, and obey, and worship Allah. > Do bad things happen to the believers (good people)? > Yes, they do. But they appear bad to the believers cause they are things people don't like. Who likes breaking a leg? However, when a bad thing happens to a believer this believer is patient. He praises Allah in all circumstances. He knows Allah does not decree something unless it is for his own good. > But how can breaking a leg are good for a beleiver? > Because it is a chance for the believer to think about what he did wrong. > Also because Allah forgives much of what we do, but those things we are not forgiven, they are forgiven due to our patience when we are struck by a calamity. Allah gives us better reward when a problem strikes us on earth if we are patient. This reward can be on earth, and it can be in Heaven. > Does Allah hear my prayers? > Yes. > Does Allah answer my prayers? > We know that Allah answers all the prayers of the believers. This can be in 4 ways: > 1- Get what we are asking for! > 2- Get something as good or better! > 3- We get spared something bad that would have happened otherwise. > 4- We get rewarded on the day of Judgment with a much greater reward than what we were asking for on earth. > When does Allah not answer our prayers? > * When it is bad for us! > * When we ask, but not from our heart! > * When we say: I asked and asked and He did not answer. > * When we eat, drink, and wear unlawful, food, and clothes, and property that wa earned either through interest from the bank, or that was stolen, or if the food was pork, or the like. > What can I ask of Allah? > Any thing but don't ask Him to do things like make you a prophet. Cause He has already said that there will be no more prophets. > You can ask Allah for guidance. Meaning you can ask Him to show you the correct religion. > Who are my best friends? > Your best friends are the ones that care where you go after you are dead. This is like the prophets. They cared that we go to heaven, even if it meant some hardship on earth. > Who is my worst enemy? > That would be the devils, whether they are human devils (evil people), or Jinn devils (like Iblis) The Arabic word for a devil is Shaytan (similar to Satan). Satan wants us all to go to hell. He wants us to be bad on earth, even if we get rich, or do lots of wrong things that we appear to enjoy, he does not mind that. But he wants to make sure we don't go to heaven. > What is it that keeps us from entering Heaven? > Worship of anyone other than Allah is the greatest sin. It is called shirk, and this is not forgiven except through repentance. > Where is Allah? > Allah is the highest. He is high above ALL of His creation. He is ascended upon a Throne, which is greater than the heavens, and the Earth. Much much much greater than the heavens and the earth. So much greater that the heavens and the earth could fit in the footstool of the throne, and they would be like a ring thrown into an open desert. Allah is certainly the greatest. > Does Allah look like us? > No Allah is perfect. He is not like any of His creation. He has told us that He has Hands, Eyes, a Face, and Foot. But all of these attributes are befitting to His might and Glory. > A Muslim does not say a single thing about Allah other than what Allah says about Himself. We don't say He is like a clover, He got tired, He is Jealous! > Allah is Perfect, and Unique. > What does it mean to believe in Allah? > It means to believe in Allah in total perfection, and uniqueness. > It means to believe in His prophets cause they are His, and He sent them. We cannot pick and choose. A Muslim must believe in all the prophets of Allah. > It means to believe in the Angles! We must love them all, we cannot hate an Angel say, for example, to hate Michael who is charged with rain, and the vegetation of the Earth, or Gabriel who is charged with revelation (brings down the scriptures to the prophets). > It means to believe in Allah's predestination of good, and bad (relative to us, but to Allah everything Allah does is good). > It means to believe in the last day: The day of Judgment. > When is the Day of Judgment? > Only Allah knows. > Are there signs for the day of Judgment? > Plenty, plenty, plenty. Many have already occurred. > To name a few, > Objects will begin to talk. > There will be much killing. The killer won't know why he killed, and the guy that was killed won't know why he was killed. > The Antichrist will come. > Prophet Jesus son of Mary will return. > Gog and Magog will be set free. > The sun will rise from the west (after this one there can be no more repentance) > What about non-Muslims do they go to heaven? > Allah only accepts Islam. He says in the Koran: "Whoever seeks a religion other than Islam it won't be accepted of him, and he will be one of the loosers in the hereafter". I would rather loose anywhere, but not loose in the hereafter. This is because Hellfire is eternal. It never ends, and we never die when we go there, if we go there. > What about someone who never heard of Islam? > Allah is the most just. Don't even think that we can be nicer than Allah. Allah is the Most Just, and He said in the Koran "We were not to punish till having sent a warner". The "We" here is the majestic we used in Arabic. So if a person never heard about Islam, and was never warned clearly Allah would have a special test for that person that He knows is equal to the chance that person would have had on earth. > How do we know Islam is the truth? > It is the only religion that: > 1- Hold Allah as One, Unique, and Perfect. > 2- A lonly worship of Allah, not Jesus, not an idol, and not an angel only Allah. > 3- The Koran does not contain contradictions. > 4- The Koran contains scientific facts, which are 1300 years ahead of their time. The Koran while revealed 1400 years ago contains scientific facts, which are only now being discovered. It is not in contradiction to science. > 5- Allah challenges the world to produce the like of the Koran. And He says they won't be able to. > 6- Prophet Mohammed was the most influential man in History. Even a non-Muslim wrote a book called the 100 most influential men in History, and Prophet Mohammed was #1. Prophet Jesus was #3. Note even Prophet Jesus was a prophet sent by Allah. Would Allah allow a false prophet to be so successful? No. Even the Bible says this in Deuteronomy 18:19. A false prophet would die!!! Yet Prophet Mohammed did not die till he completely conveyed, and taught Allah's religion. > 7- He had many prophecies, and all of his prophecies have come true, or are still coming true. > Most importantly is this: > Allah created us, and we know that we should only worship Him. This is an instinct Allah has created us with. He did not just leave us, rather He sent prophets for us. These prophets had miracles as proof. The miracle for us today is the Koran. There is no other religion that worships only Allah, and believes in Him as totally perfect, and believes in all of His prophets, and scriptures. > Can anyone become a Muslim? > Yes anyone can. There are two declarations, which are necessary: > 1- To bear witness that no one deserves to be worship except Allah > 2- To bear witness that Prophet Mohammed is the Messenger of Allah. > This makes a person Muslim. But it should be said in Arabic. Next a person takes a shower, and He/She is a Muslim. > Then What? > After a person becomes Muslim he/she is taught about Prayers, Fasting, the Poor due, Pilgrimage. These are pillars of Islam. > Then What? > Muslims are brothers. A Muslim should love for his brother what he loves for himself. Allah's wealth does not run out, and Allah can provide for us all. We pray for each other, and love each other, and love for our brothers and sisters what we love for ourselves. > > > > For more information about Islam: > http://www.geocities.com/toislamways/new3.html > > To contact us: > iaslamq_a@g... > > To Request Free Islamic Books & Resources: > imanwayibaw@g... ~!

Sincerely, Mark See: Jupiter & Rahu....Planetary .....'battle'...going on still tomorrow!.... Rahu & Jupiter....Alert.... For Tuesday 3/30.... Jupiter will be Running 16:52 degrees....Leo, today... & Rahu will be Running... 17:47 degrees...in Aries.... So, Rahu & Jupiter are still awfully close due to their mutal aspecting.... Jupiter wil continue being Retrograde, and therefore more weak and inward till May 5, 2004 Then, Jupiter begins it's Direct motion and over the next couple of months will finally move away from Rahu's direct 'locking' grip and this will represent the real beginning of the next good Jupiter cycle! Saturn Poll.... Last month about this time, we conducted a 'Saturn Poll' to help us see if we were being in-tune with Saturn or not. The way to tell is whether Saturn is acting Malefically or Benefically as the Moon moves across it's bow.... so to speak! Over the last few days, the Moon moved through Gemini where Saturn still is transiting as it was last month and even where it will be next month... So,....ask yourself again: Have I been patient, no anxiety, or wishing that things would be going more slowly? Am I feeling good, still, silent and peaceful? Or am I feeling worried, frustrated, sad or even depressive...? Remember Saturn, like all the Planets just represents certain aspects of ourselves... which can be positive or negative. The important thing is to realize whether Nature is trying to show you that you're either in-tune with that Planet or not... The Moon is a great Astrological source because each Month it transits all the different Signs, and therefore touches or moves between the Earth and each Astrological Reality in our sky. This gives us a very practical way of understanding Jyotish/Astrology and especially our own Astrological symbolisms.... This month's Saturn & Moon, conjunction, we could say; is a great opportunity to see the depth of our Saturn, attunement... Benefic? or Malefic...? Let me know...and like last month ....I'll publish...the results! See a Subscriber's Nice - Benefic - Comment below! Nature's Astrology: Star Report Transits Tuesday, 3/30th....9am... Moon Moves to the Beginning of Cancer, today.... Dear Friends: The Moon moves to the 4th degree of Cancer, today, 3/30th... starting at 9am, Tuesday... CST.... ....2004... ....CST.... ...USA... Transits Dear Friends: Well, finally! A couple of wonderful, up-lifting days, full of energy, sweet, inner positive feelings, even something approximating joy! Why? Well, each Month of the year, coming as it is, on different days of the Month, because the Moon cycle is not exactly the same as the Moon cycle... but, the Moon returns to the Sign Cancer. In Jyotish, the Moon is in the 2nd Happiest Place as it passes through Cancer. Cancer is called, 'being the Moon's Own Sign...' and as such represents a 'time' when the Moon is happiest! Add on top of that the fact that the Moon is extremely large, due to it's Waxing Cycle...anddddd!!!!!! for the first time in a couple of weeks! also, the Moon is without negative or malefic influence over these next couple of days! For those of you who have been more sensitive to these gyrations of the Moon, these last few weeks, and maybe you have a smaller or aggravated Moon in your Charts,.....but... regardless of the reason, today and Wednesday & even some of Thursday will be full of positivity, joy and happiness! Wow.,..... it's about time! we got a break! Enjoy & especially look to the House that has the Cancer, for some the #4, is indicative of the House that has your Cancer in it... will show you the area in which the Moon will be most directly influencing... enjoy! and take maximum advantage of this transit..... Good time for meetings, promotions, wonderful dinners with the Spouse! fun things with children, writing, painting,...really everything, especially anything that's important to you! enjoy! Most Important Other Tranists....Today: o Add on top of the Moon, that Venus has moved - Taurus (from 3/29 - May 5th)....! This is good news for Venus because Taurus is one of the Signs that are Venus' 'Own Sign'...and everything connected with relationships, relations and affections, will be very positive during this whole 3 weeks of Venus' Transits... Look for the #2, or Taurus in your chart to see where the primary benefit of this transit will be. Venus is now, at 2 degrees, so look for an even stronger and stronger Venus...to pop up over the next few weeks, till..... May 6th!..... o Mercury has finally left Pisces......it's Sign of debilitation... Mercury's moved into Aries now, where it should start functioning more clearly and therefore intellect will be more clear! Mercury's now at 5 degrees, of Aries... o Rahu & Jupiter are still locked in their mutually aspecting...Planetary War........Today, Rahu's at 17:47 degrees of Aries, while Jupiter's at 16:52 degrees of Leo....So the greatest intensity of that conflict is still, now,.... Notice how many aspects of progress, ie. World Stock Markets are up,...and down, stagnant...and frustrating....Also, aspects of our own progressive lives, may feel frustrating, taking longer to fulfill....that sort of thing... Main point here is to not strain, and especially bring more patience and Silence...to the Rahu, desire nature, which is clammoring out, to fulfill any desires, really! o Mars is also in Taurus, this Month... Now, at 12 degrees! So, you'll notice a kind of 'passionate' quality, related to your concerns for 'relations' and a kind of 'passionate' intensity, 'convictions', etc...especially, for 'romantic relations...the closer and closer Mars & Venus...get... Though Venus won't be directly, 'conflicting' with Mars,....for a long time, 'months'...because Mars moves very fast too! Expect a kind of nice 'passionate' quality, now and for especially the time that Venus is in Taurus! Subscriber's Question & Experiences... An especially, 'good', Saturn experience & Question.... from the Recent Saturn Poll! >From Sharon, in Chicago, Illinois,.... US "Hi Mark: I definitely felt this saturn thing again. At first I was sad and frustrated and out of the flow. My car battery went dead!, even. After I got a jump start and made it home I saw your email and realized I was letting Saturn be malefic. So I changed my tack. I stopped running around trying to accomplish things. Instead I took care of myself, went to bed early, read a great book on the Power of Intention, drank tea, got some exercise, but all.... in a kind of loving way! Wow, it helped a lot. So....I would say.... I started out Malefic... and then went to Benefic! Your emails always arrive right when I need a reminder to pay attention. Thanks! Sharalyn" "Dear Sharalyn: Wow,...yourself!.... I have to say this is one of the clearest, positive uses, of the relatively new and unique 'transformative' way of utilizing Jyotish! Well done! ..... You've really described, and even more importantly, done the kind of Jyotish which is the essence of my Jyotish! I'm very impressed.... Good Job! Your experience and example here is also an inspiration, that #1, you can do this for your Saturn.... and now you can realize you can do this for every other malefic in your chart, or malefic period!.... Very great experience!" >From Jameston, New Jersey, US "Dear Mark: I have a quick question for you. I've been following the transits for a few months now, per your suggestions, I mean,...and I have noticed being effected by the many permutations, ... my question though, is yesterday and especially 2 nights, ago, I felt kind of 'rough' again. I had felt much better especially the very moment that the Moon rushed by Saturn, ie. earlier in the day (according to your Transits, suggestion), but by the evening, I felt nervous, couldn't go to bed on time...and I'm wondering why?" "Dear Jameston: Very qood question. As it turns out, 2 days ago, after the Moon had moved across the exact degrees of Saturn, (on Sunday, 3/28, 1pm, cst), the Moon then, moved towards the end of Gemini. This normally would be find, especially since the Moon was moving away from not only Saturn but Rahu & Mars' influences, too....but.... And here's the kicker, that evening, at exactly....at 11:30pm, CST, the Moon moved to the 17th degree of Gemini. And normally this would be fine, but this year, because of Ketu's present transit, at 17 degrees, of Libra,... Ketu is supposed to be influencing Gemini, due to it's 9th House Aspect... So, your experience was right on, predictable, and because especially of your 'innocence' a a great example of Ketu's 9th House aspect....! There is some controversey, actually, regarding Rahu & Ketu. Some, in fact, believe that the 'nodes of the Moon', don't cast any influence... but I tell you, after watching these transits, now, each day!, for over 16 years, I'm totally convinced by experiences like yours,....as to this one view that Rahu & Ketu, influence, #1, the House that they're in... and then, 5 Houses away, and also, 7 & 9 Houses away.... so counting the Sign that they're in as #1, then, for Ketu... go, Libra, as #1, then, 2, would be Scorpio, 3, Sagittarius, 4, Capricorn, 5 Aquarius, 6 Pisces, 7 Aries, 8 Taurus, and 9!!!, Gemini! Anyone who watches these subtle movements for even a couple of months will also verify these wonderful rules and principles in Jyotish. They're so profound because they help us understand...#1, what's going to be happening in the future! and #2, they also teach us about Jyotish. Because if you have a similar Jyotish configuration in your chart, then, these kind of insights are especially important and revealing for all your own Chart, significations! Thanks for the question!" Good Luck! And... God bless.... Mark Kincaid Jai Guru! Some friends reminded me about putting my website address on her. So, especially for our new r, friends... Enjoy!

Volume 7 g4sf Dear Friends: Here begins an important reflection on the most powerful, sometimes, 'malefic'.....Saturn...! (see below, especially, people's recent reports of their own malefic & benefic Saturn experiences) Saturn is described as especially troublesome, most of the time, and is considered the 'worst' Malefic, in Astrology, Western & Eastern, both, alike! However, there are exceptions! For example, those who have Saturn either in it's Own Sign, Capricorn or Aquarius, and especially Exalted in Libra! Those individuals quite often report, not the normal malefic symbolisms of Sani, but, quite the oppostive, wonderful ... even.. 'benefic',...qualities. I thought it might be insightful to reflect on Saturn during the last 2-Month's of the,.... Moon's & Saturn transits.... Moon & Saturn, together,.... is like a mini-2day, Sade Sat. When Saturn, is found transiting, either the Sign before the Sign that the Moon was in, on your day of birth, or, in the Sign, immediately before and after the Sign that your Moon was in......This, Saturn 'transit' represents a 7 1/2 year... Saturn....wake-up, call which...is the classic, period of 'Sade Sat'. This is normally a very hellious time for moany people, and is often spoken of like that, without any reprieve, or hope! Also, Those who are born with the Moon either being in the same sign as Saturn, is in, the Sign before or after the Moon,...all are 'signs' of being born in Saturn, sade sat! This too will be representative quite often of a 'malefic' Saturn, from your Chart! And, finally, those people who have a Malefic Saturn, either influencing the Sun, Moon or Rising Sign Lord, or influencing any other, especially 'benefic' planets....or... in important Houses like the lst, 2nd... 4th, 5th, 7th, 8th, 9th, and especially, 12th....obviously.... There are as many 'malefic', Saturn configurations as you can imagine! And, most people experience many 'awful', 'rough', 'grievous', or 'losses', or 'deaths', and on and on....associated with Saturn....and especially... during either Saturn Transits, Saturn Dasas,....or in their lives, due to having a powerful Malefic Saturn in their charts....In other words, some people even experience Saturn 'hardships' during almost any periods, in addition to the more obvious Saturn periods. This is because..of...Saturn being in important Houses, or with important Planets like the Sun and Moon, for example! Though these Saturn qualities, can get even, worse, during the Saturn transits, and Dasas! Saturn transits, for example, transiting, in particular Houses in your chart, like the lst, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, & 12th Are especially important especially if there are important Planets in any of those House....too.. Specific Dasas periods are these: Saturn Dasas, Mahadasa, 19 Years... Antardasas, are mostly, 3 years... and finally, Bhukti periods, of...approximately 6 months... However, there's a slightly new Astrological idea circling around that maybe Saturn can be benefic, as well. Certainly those with traditionally, benefic Saturn Placements, are testaments of this... There are even, a few books that have been written, including, "Saturn: Friend or Foe?", and "Saturn: A New Look At An Old Devil!" Both, of these books are great reading, and especially, if you've got a malefic Saturn, that's bugging you! I'm going to first just list the different Malefic & benefic experiences that were reported both during the lst, Saturn transit, around 3/1st...and then again, recently around the 28th.... See below for more reflections.... March 1, 2004 Here are a few benefic descriptions to start,...lest we get too... depressed going into so many malefics....!....ehehe Benefic, Mark. Most benefic. (except I was too late for the movie!) Love, Gail I, then Asked her if she was able to do this because of the star reports or was it spontaneous? She said: By itself. Spontaneously. Life has been wonderful. I have been so focused on writing, and nothing else penetrates. Take care, Gail Hi Mark : I mainly felt it in a positive way. I felt like I was getting organized and focused and only doing what was really important. I didn't let others push me around or make demands on my time. I decided how to spend my time and was conscious that I was in control of it. I straightened up the house and made sure to do a good long yoga session, and was "determined" not to let people hassle me. I came up with the phrase, "I am moving at my own pace" and that seemed to characterize how I reacted to it. I kind of liked it! Sally Regarding the last couple of days it was business as usual. Seemed ok. Last week was intense however. I have a lot of good saturn influence in my chart... Ilene Ilene reflects a good point here. When we have, sometimes, a balanced Saturn in our Charts, then, more often then not, our experiences of Transiting Saturn, can be more benefic! Dear Mark, to me this transit was rather benefic : inner peace, silence, balance... quiet. I even managed to have a serious conversation with a rather "difficult to reach" man, he never spoke to me before for such a long time about important subjects, for the first time, It seemed worthy of a long speech... However, in fact, there were some delays, but not harmful. Sincerely Ann This obviously is an example, again of a very nice Benefic Saturn, moment and experience. I asked her too, if her exper. was conscious or spontaneous... She said... Dear Mark, (I had said back to her:) Very cool experience. Now can you tell you did this, because you knew that the Moon & Saturn >were coming up, and that you thought this might help, or was it just how you felt?or both? Ah... consciously it was just how I felt ! But unconciously, I do not know, it is a fact that this man is very Saturnian... but, really I just felt it was the right time to speak to him (it is me who engaged the speech). Sincerely, Ann We can experience 'being' in-tune with Sani, at any moment, and that represents the more positive, 'benefic' side.... or we can experience the 'malefic' moments...as the next lady reported, both. It's just fascinating to me, to follow the particular 'flavor' of the Sani, qualities because they're very unique and are not at all like the Mars transits, which are more about 'anger', or 'crusading', ..... Dear Mark, Regarding your poll, I have been experiencing both the positive and negative aspects. I feel solemn much of the time, even depressed, and am focusing on matters that feel weighty. I lost, or discovered to be lost, some items that were important to me. But I'm also feeling very happy to be alone, in seclusion (isn't seclusion, shani?) I have been very inward, doing a lot of self-examination (doing Byron Katie's "work"), often feeling intense emotions but often transcending with it and often detaching from old ideas. (If this is useful you can print it.) Namaste, Cheryll Here Cheryll, mentions a very important, profound aspect, or key to Saturn....transformation: 'transcending'.... when one meditates, on can experience a kind of 'distancing'....some put it in terms of that....transcending... What it means is some distance gets created from our challenges, problems, even too active, mentality, always rusing.... and transcending, or meditating.... literally enlivens...an inner kind of pool..of softness, of peace.... which acts as a natural buffer to 'Saturn' grief! from the email/re. saturn poll: We'll make a little Saturn Jyotish Poll: Q How many experienced Saturn - Malefically.... over the last 2 days! and A. It has been very intense here the last few days.... Finally started to ease last night.... Better today.... Q How many experienced Saturn - Benefically! A. Some resolution of long satnding problems... Intense but it's over.... from David This quality where we 'expereince' the so-called, 'malefic' flavor of Saturn,...is nature's way of showing us, how we're 'presently', out of tune with Saturn! I say it this way, because the nature of life's consequences, especially if they're negative, aren't just a curse, or a given,...but they're a natural consequence of past actions, that are now, coming back to us... If Nature didn't do this, we'd have no way of knowing how we're doing... And it doesn't take long, we're up too late 2 or 3 days in a row, and immediately our health can suffer! It's not that nature is punishing us!...but Nature is showing us....the effect of what we've been doing, so we learn! And learning...about Saturn means we learn about the importance of Rest... about the importance of regular, repeated, consistent periods of rest & relaxation,.... before and after all periods of activity! Rest & Activity, go together.... and Sani's the one, that govern's this cycle of Nature! Mark, I've had the best day, bubbling over with happiness and contentment. But I have Saturn in the first natally and Moon in tenth, so I guess the Moon Saturn thing makes me feel at home. Just as well...I've finished sade sate recently, will go into Jupiter Saturn this August, have Saturn currently opposing my sun and will have my second Saturn return soon. Lucy Here's a good example of someone who's experienceing a nice positive Saturn, but they're also aware of the possibly negative or 'malefic'....Saturn periods coming up. This appreciation of the stronger, more negative, periods will be especially helpful, even if one has a more positive Saturn in one's chart. I do know, a hand full of Exalted Saturn people who though they're supposed to have a very good, positive, Sani, but...still, they too can experience some malefic, unhappy, Saturn qualities. I've reflected a lot on this and I've realized...that having a 'good' Saturn is one thing, but one can still strain, ...some 'strong' Saturn people I know, seem to take advantage of their normally, positively good Saturn...and work too hard, and for them... their Saturn feedbacks, or slaps, ...can be very harsh... It's almost like they know better, and are straining anyway.... I heard a story...one time from a Yoga teacher talking about how it happens when one gets out of tune with Nature.... "When you first start to violate the laws of nature, nature gives you an innocent nudge or reaction to your actions. But, if you keep going the little reminders start to get stronger and stronger, till we're knocked off our feat." I've loved this description as I've studied Saturn, because Saturn represents the primary, being in-tune with Nature quality and especially what happens when we get out of tune. So, we're staying up too late, and the first few days, we're kind of tired, but not overwhelmed. But, if we persist in violating the need to get more rest, then, quickly that gentle kind of feedback, does become more intense, till we do find ourselves, sick in bed.... Like that.... try and perceive the uncomfortable and especially pained or tiredness in the body, as initial Saturn responses, not to be ignored but to be listened to! You want to talk about a malefic Saturn?. I could not slow down take a rest as I had both aged and ill parents (now deceased) to care and provide for and a child to raise totally on my own. I have had a lot of responsibility with people relying on me, because there wasn't anybody else to help. I am not a martyr. I consider these unavoidable situations part of my duty anyway. Ellen is 16yrs now, she pleases me very much, but she is the ultimate money sponge. In reality the poor little kid doesn't ask for much. We just get by on my Disability pension which is marked way below the poverty line. All Saturn, my dear. Actually, I am getting used to it, I fought it at first, at the begining of Saturn dasa. The trick is, not to want anything from Astor Here's an example of a more traditional Saturn quality, which unfortunately makes us feel, too often, that we're stuck in a kind of huge...Saturn consequence...and there's nothing that we can do ...but suffer in it... This in fact, is one of the reasons why Saturn has developed the severity of reputation that it has. However, this isn't the case,.... Just because someone gets sick...and even, God forbid, some disease, this doesn't mean that Saturn is mean, or unjust. As it turns out, we had a lot of chances, but we didn't understand the symbolisms...that were coming to us. So, we kept going and eventually, we got sick, or stuck,...in many kinds of greivous situations. Try and remember, to pay attention and perceive any negative, or malefic Saturn symbolisms.... as soon as possible! That way, we can try and adjust earlier before the result gets more intense... I like to Say.... there are 3 D's...to Saturn... there's dis-ease..... but if we ignore feeling diseased, our out of tune... eventually... dis-ease...turns into disease.... And if we can't find a solution,...then disease...turns into death.... Saturn, however, is about life,.... life in-tune with itself...radiates....immortality...and eternity.... Saturn teaches literally about death & immortality.... and as such is the primary planet associated with length of life-span.... Because of what we've done in the past...we got born with such and such...of a life-span... But, we can improve upon that... and Sani's the one...to draw our attention...to this...all important... rest, rejuvenative, and healing aspect of life.... Saturn shouldn't just be called the Planet of Grief,...we should start calling Saturn the Planet of REST! Dear Mark, JaiGuruDev, My answers in capitals below: Q How many experienced Saturn - Malefically.... over the last 2 days! TODAY WAS A TERRIBLE DAY. FOR MY BROTHER WHO KEPT SICK FOR ABOUT 45 DAYS NOW, I GOT AN SMS TODAY THAT HE WAS DIAGNOSED WITH "TB OF THE SPINE"...IMAGINE MY GRIEF..FOR YOUNGER 32 YEARS OF AGE BROTHER ...HOW I WOULD FEEL. and Q How many experienced Saturn - Benefically I AM STARTING A NEW VENTURE (AS IT'S DIRECTOR) HERE AND SAW THAT QUITE A FEW THINGS/JOBS THAT WERE SUPPOSED TO HAVE BEEN DONE BEFORE HAVE STARTED TO HAPPEN AND I FELT BETTER ABOUT THIS. Pls let me know about yr findings in context to my chart / jyotish learning. I am feelng terrible.....had some very deep/knowledgeful but troubling findings about the diesease that my btrother has been diagnosed with. Namaste, Ralph Here's an example, of the very difficult dis-ease, and disease stage of life. What we have to remember, is...if a situation, reaches the disease stage, it took a long time to get there, so we need to have patience....that it may take some time, to turn around... But, this is the purpose of life! How we can all be born, with our particular 'karmas'...and in each of our malefic situtaions,....these are exactly where we're supposed to learn....to adjust... and Saturn, in our charts, precisely, shows us exactly where,...we need to bring more patience, silence and balance, into our lives! Hi Mark: For your Saturn poll. Benefic...more relaxed, less stress but hectic pace.. Rob T. Very good example of a more benefic possibility.... Well done! Dear Mark, seems, that Saturn acted rather malefic, this time.. Became ill again and moreover had a strange "fight" with someone... Ciao Eber Don't forget, Saturn didn't cause us...but rather....we caused it...and Saturn's bringing it back to us! But, Saturn can immediately, respond in a more favorable away once we identify, and then adjust to a more balanced, restful stance... Saturn is just a feedback, call, where and when we need more rest. Unfortunately, we live in such a World and such a time, where rest and rejuvenation, are not widely understood, or appreciated. I remember when I was got involved in teaching meditation in business in the middle and later 1970's. We used to go in and try and promote stress reduction in the business sector. I'll never forget the time when one business owner, manager said: 'Oh, no, we want!...our employees to be under stress!..... How else are they going to stay motivated and be productive!" I was flaburgasted! I said: "Oh,...you don't understand....stress is that which restricst productivitiy, causes, in fact, higher abseenteeism, and more sick days..." Of course he wasn't buying any of it!... Then, I noticed about 15 or 20 years later...when talking to the same kinds of business leaders, immediately, when I said, the 'stress' word, they said: "Oh, stress?... great, come on in, we're very interested in helping our employees be without stress!" I thought what the heck happened? What had happened was in the course of a very short 10 or 15 years, our whole world culture had begun to understand...stress and health, more clearly. Today, we know that stress is literally responsible for over 70% of all diseases, and complicates the remainder. So, what is stress? That which results from strain. You push yourself too far, you work too long, and what happens? something, gets locked in there... some stress, some fatigue, and that's the beginning of dis-ease. How do we know if we're pushing too hard, and/or stress is resulting...? You'll know by how you wake up? If you wake up and notice that you're feeling 'any' tiredness! any fatigue, and don't feel all reved and ready to go! that means some stress is starting to build up! Listen to yourself...listen to your body.....and if you even begin to notice a malefic, Saturnian, quality, there....then make a little Jyotish experiment! Get a little bit more rest.... Go to bed earlier for a few nights in a row. Take a little bit more time off, here and there.... 'Rejuvenate!'..... meditate, more, more deeply...more regularly.... And see, directly, if that tiredness, that lethargy, that delaying quality going on in your envirnoments! See if they don't immediately...start to subside! Nature will show you, that you were right, in resting more.... Don't feel too bad, though. We're certainly not encouraged or educated about this very important relationship between rest and activity! But, that's Saturn's job....to teach us... And once we realize...he's constanctly on the job, there, ready and willing to help! then, listen to Him...and respond! You won't be disappointed! Dear Mark, I vote for: my Malefic Saturn: "delay, or loss, or grief, or loneliness, or disappointment".... yes, yes, yes, felt them all over the last few days. In fact, on Sat. I asked Jim if Saturn was doing a thing with the moon again because I felt so depressed, sad, etc.(it always afects me that way and I'm usually right-on). He did say late last night that Saturn and the moon were together, though. I had a creepy spider dream last night and felt some anxiety and heaviness.I'm still feeling the effects right now !! Sally.... This lady has Moon & Saturn together...in her chart! Like me, too!.... and both of us...have had these kinds of experiences.... I think, though that's one of the reasons why I've made such progress with my own Saturn, because I had too! Anyone born in the worst time of Sade Sat....! definitely is in for a Saturn wake up call! Mark: Thing got worse for me on Sat, my back went out and I cannot walk!! This has not happened to me in a very long time. There is so much physical tension and stress. I also have feelings that are uneasy and uncertain. I do not feel as secure and confident as I usually do. Very sudden change for me. Debbie.. It's also helpful, understanding that even unusual and infrequent occurances, can be Saturn, showing us, that we've managed to get out of balance! Learning these innocent symbolisms of both maleific and benefic Saturn will help us know how we're doing, and use these experiences,...as a kind of guide... to stay more in-tune with Saturn! and be more happy, healthy, and balanced! Last Thurs. was intense for me, I was very charged up, had to go to the chiropractor twice to unwind, but today was more tense for coworkers - responding irritably. Weekend was full of activity - but stayed focused and finished jobs. Cary It's so significant to see, how much we can get pulled off ourselves, during especially Saturn times, ie. transits and even dasas... So, learning that we need more patience, and more yoga, exercise, rest and rejuvenation... will all, be extremely helpful! We'll experience that we've done the 'right' thing, because we'll immediately....feel better! Respected Mark!!! The weekend was horrible....I had loads of work to do but was feeling very physically miserable...drowsy..even after getting up from a long night sleep was feeling some nagging tiredness and pain in legs...quite irritating.. i must add iam running Shade Sani with my moon sign being in Cancer. The last month Moon did its transit through Mithuna,,,i was physically down on energy..same this time too!!! But I didnt feel these much as long as I was engaging in Venusian activities like shopping ( food stuff) or chatting and also the Saturnian activities of cleaning and rearranging the messed up kitchen!!! Sankara This experience is a good one, of how even when one thinks one is resting enough, but still, especially during Sade Sat periods, or even others.... we'll notice that we might need even more! I now, realize...that these kinds of periods, are not just symbolic of an inherent, malefic nature... but are indicative...of great healing periods! Once we start to realize that rest, rejuvenation and healing are a much more important phase of life, then we'll stop feeling like we're wasting our time,....when...we go to bed... mediate, rest...and spend time, in down periods! I tell people this now, that during these kinds of Saturn periods, this would be a great time to focus on healings, and inner work, and development! And won't necessarily be that helpful ...for outer, advancement! One of the Yoga teachers I've studied one time, said: "Yoga is like building a skyscraper. Your life may be like a 10 story building. In truth, you first have to go down, 2 or 3 stories, so you can go up! Like that, you need to develop the inner side of you, ...and as you do that,...then you'll be successful in the outer!" Most people think that meditation, and Consciousness expansion is only for those who have time, or for those who are more spiritually or inner motivated. The truth is that all, need to have a more inner, keal, developed...and lived... All, need to have a more inner, centeredness,...and it is indeed, this inner Silence and balance...which is the key!...to all outer accomplishments! Hi Mark, I had two distinctly different Saturn days. Sunday was definitely the malefic flavor...grief, frustration with delays, loneliness (even with nice people around), and finally just surrender. Saturn is sitting in my Ascendant right on top of my chart lord, Mercury which is only one degree from my Sun and I'm in a Sun/Mercury/Jupiter period which shifts in a few days to Sun/Mercury/Saturn....I'm "curious" to see what that will feel like. On the up side, though, today (Monday) I felt lighter, and enjoyed the deep silent, orderly workings of Saturn....so once the Moon moved just barely past Saturn everything shifted to a softer easier quality. Finally this evening at 7:30 when the exact Ketu aspect hit, I was hosting a group meditation at my home and the silence and depth of our group experience was amazing. All the best, Carol Here's a beautiful description of both the negative, malefic side of saturn and what can happen when you enliven it's oppositive, meditative, peaceful, silent, side! DEAR mARK Re effects of Saturn. Saturn has always been benficial to me as he is a YOGA Karaka (Vrishabh Lagna), and is placed in a Trine (5th). So my vote is Beneficial good luck sridhar Here's another example of someone who's blessed with a nicely, benefic Saturn! vote malific....things out of sync...slow to start - insonomia worse... anny Again, take these Saturn 'signs'...as just that.... signs of how we're doing. And you don't have to take the thoughts even seriously, but just respond, taking more rest and relaxation and you'll immediately...change the negative into it's oppositive, positive! March 2nd.... Dear Mark, For the poll: Two of us experienced a malefic Shani and one a benefic. Last night I had some trouble with sleeping for an hour or so. It appeared to be the moment that Ketu was aspecting Chandra. Best wishes, Ria Here's one of my Jyotish Class students whose learning how to experience these kinds of wonderful Saturn transformations! Dear Mark, so far, so good. I have got the feeling that Mars & Rahu is bothering me more than the Moon & Saturn, I have had a lot of headaches lately. But also a lot of things acomplished. Since I am more aware of the Saturn effects, I try to stay calm and have more patience then before that awareness. As I see a lot of stress and impatience with other people around me, but it does not bother me. So I go for ...having the benefic! Kind regards, Marja Here's another wonderful experience of learning to appreciate the real, truthful meaning of these benefic & malefic symbolisms.... Most people don't realize that within all curses, or malefic situations,...is a blessing in disguise! And once we start to see this, we can literally turn any difficult situation...into it's Glorious! opposite, wonderful reality! Dear Mark, I do not know if this transit was really malefic but I met several old persons (only old : no child, no baby !) everywhere I went ! One of my friend is very sad, because her beloved dog has died... sadness... Saturn. And... I managed to get a second very good conversation with the man of yesterday ! It seems to me that serious things are going on, and that a deep building is possible in a very important field (a field in which I worked years, and years, and lives, and lives ago... a very strange transit for me, indeed). Sincerely, Anna Again, a nice perception of the karma of appreciating....life in terms..of the symbolisms.... that the different Planets can teach us! March 3rd.... For me ninety percent 'M', 10 percent 'B'. Randy March 30th.. Next Saturn Poll..... Dear Mark, I am getting sooooooo good at the saturn/moon thing. This morning I started feeling really depressed,irritable, frustrated, etc. and almost said to Jim...the moon is with saturn again isn't it? This afternoon I did ask him and I was "right on". I seem to feel it very strong each month. Sally Here's a beautiful example of someone who sent in a comment in the first month, and even within, one month, she's perceiving her Saturn....moments...better... and as if...nipping them, in the bud, so to speak, faster! well done! Hi Mark: I definitely feel this saturn thing again. At first I was sad and frustrated and out of flow. My car battery went dead! After I got a jump start and made it home I saw your email and realized I was letting Saturn be malefic. So I changed my tack. I stopped running around trying to accomplish things. Instead I took care of myself, went to bed early, read a great book on The Power of Intention, drank tea, got some exercise, but all in a kind loving way. Helped alot. So I would say I started Malefic and then went to Benefic! Your emails always arrive right when I need a reminder to pay attention. Thanks! Sally And here's another wonderful example of how insightful this postive, transformtive Jyotish view, can be. This lady is one of my recent graduates of my Internet Jyotish courses, and her experience shows how wonderful and practical this knowledge is! Mark - I really enjoyed watching the moon and its affect this weekend with its influence on Saturn. I am usually happy but this weekend was more peaceful, quite, and inward than most. I love being alone and nature seemed to grant this desire all weekend, as I did what I love most, being in my garden. My mom used to tell all my siblings, "leave him alone, he's happiest by himself". Mothers do know best. Jai Guru Dev. Mark Here's another great example of someone who's able to edge into, and take advantage of the more beneficial, benefic side of Saturn! Dear Mark, I definitely think that Saturn is my great friend ! On yesterday evening, I was very quiet at home, writing and drawing as I was answered to do, everything got done in the right time. Within, I was very peaceful... no problem with Saturn. However, now, I must take care of Mars, and that is another story... ! Warm regards, Anna And this sums it up! Listen to Saturn.... He can become one of our greatest friends... And when we do, we will experience all manners of inner joy, happiness and grace! Then, when we've learned Saturn, we can, like Anna, begin to think of how any of the other Malefics in our charts,...also have a meaning and a symbolism... that we need to grow within! Take care And hope you enjoy....this....
