4/7......re....Is Astrology & Christianity, compatible?

[Guest guest]

Dear Friends:

Here's a wonderful question about whether Astrology is compatible with Christianity!

enjoy

Mark K.

Dear Raman:

Astrology and Christianity are definitely compatible...

Remind them of the story of the Christ child & birth...

It was 3 wise, men kings who had been led by their astrologers....to follow the Star!

why?

to find the Christ child...

So, Astrology's greatest purpose is to help us evolve, to find the Spiritual nature of life,

which is beyond the Stars...

The stars, are the path, through which God, created.... us..to live to find Him....

I understand the anxiety that is there in Christianity, .... but ....anyone who

understands that anything of value, in the relative world, from positive

thinking seminar, to an economics course, to Astrology!...all...can be

helpful...to help us understand...the true purpose of life, is to become

enlightened!

hope this helps..

Mark K.

ps... in the famous book of one of the founders of Astrology; Maharishi Parashara, he says:

"in the beginning Lord Vishnu, entered into the grahas to bestow upon his

devotees, the consequences of their actions..."

So, in essence the Planets are really just God, in disguise...

I think even Hindus, can learn that Jupiter, himself, ...is just the Lord, in disguise...

To pray to them, is not as necessary, except the extent to which the prayer,

teaches us how our own actions are causing us our griefs...

God, doesn't do anything to us.

God, has 2 rules....#1, God gives us complete freedom to doing whatever we would like...

#2...however, we're also going to be help accountable for the consequences of our actions...

So, we get born with malefic Astrological situations, which mean, that God, or

Nature is innocently giving back to us..the product of our 'wrong' of imperfect

actions, and if by praying we learn how better to perform those actions,...to

turn that malefic into a benefic!...

then the prayer is okay...

hope this answers and helps...

Sincerely,

Mark Kincaid

Namaste....

RE: 2- & Deepak, from Mark K....4/7......re.... Lagna Lord -Benefic or Malefic?

Mark:

 

I have few questions for you:

 

Jyotish and Christianity, are they compatible ?

 

For Upaya offering prayer to Jupiter or other planet is against the Christianity.

 

I have been asked this question by friend.

 

Can you talk about it.

 

regards!

 

Raman

2- & Deepak, from Mark K....4/7......re.... Lagna Lord -Benefic or Malefic?

Dear Deepak & All:

There's actually 2 ways of thinking about the relative benefic or malefic

status of our Planets...

Yes, I think the Lagna Lord is always, 'essentially benefic'...

but if the first house lord, is in the 12th house, 6th or 8th....

then, it may be potentially, benefic, but certainly may be found functioning

as a malefic.

Take the example, too, of Planets that are ruleing the traditionally,

considered, malefic 6th, 8th or 12th houses...

They're generally thought of as malefic, but they can certainly be found

acting benefically, especially if they're in their own, sign, or Exalted!

I love what the sage, Mahrishi Parashara was supposed to say about the

planets..

In the beginning of his book, on Hora Sastra, he says: "In the Beginning

Lord Vishnu entered into the grahas to bestow upon his devotees, the

consequences of their karmas."

I love this expression because it helps me understand that basically,

essentially, all the Planets are benefic or good!

Only sometimes, the lord, radiates back to us, less then desirable results,

to teach us, so we aspire to develop and improve that side of us....

Let's say, someone has Sani, in the 12th House. And it's definitely acting

malefic there!

Ah...take my chart, yikes!,....but having a Libra rising my Sani, though

it's in the 12th house, is still supposed to be benefic!, being yogakaraka,

and all...

but, my experience, is it's been completely malefic for me!

There with my Moon, too, I've experienced a lot of Saturn 12th house,

'losses', due to Sani, including...loss of emotional happiness, sadness,

loneliness, lack of money and lots of losses due to too many expenditures..

But, immediately when I started strengthening my Sani, and practicing other

jyotish remedies which can be said, to directly improve Saturn....I've

noticed a complete turn about in my experience of what was previously a very

malefic Saturn...

Both, medititation and studying Jyotish, and especially, the daily Transits,

all, have had a very powerful effect on allowing me to reap, the more

positive, and Benefic qualities of Sani!

Hope this helps...

Namaste...

Mark Kincaid
