Profession exploration (practicum)

[Guest guest]

Speaking of churning and the inobvious -- on another site, I had

posted a few charts triggered by a participant. The charts had one

purpose and a specific one. Astrology has been utilized for many

purposes and so on but in my personal experience, most seem to

approach it for mundane problems, things like daily living,

relationships, lineage, illness and death. Of these, jobs and

professions are of course a very big issue, globally. Many articles

have been written, books published but the few that take these

writings seriously and apply to charts of regular and ordinary

people like us, they come out disillusioned -- about the articles,

books and the people who write them. This is a sad state of affairs

indicative of the need for more research and starting slow and low

instead of running into a barrage of techniques that work so well

when we are doing postmortem (e.g., why Indira Gandhi died, or why

Sonia won the election, etc). The problem with using the techniques

(astrologer's bag of tricks as Charles Bowling used to call those)

is that they are not necessarily great for most to decipher things

(as opposed to justifying known facts).

 

I posted a series of charts at another site just to stimulate some

thinking and pattern recognition. This seems to be an active site

with lot of knowledgeable individuals with good writing and

analytical skills. Would people be interested in examining these

charts and seeing why they have the same profession and what that

might be?

 

Astrologers generally get a bit wary and cautious when studies like

these are conducted online in public view. I realize that it takes a

lot of time to do these properly and there is the disturbing element

of things going wrong or mistakes. I think I can safely say that

most if not all astrologers do not have when followed over time a

success rating even near 75% (see my article on maya in horoscopes

on boloji.com -- sorry for the plug, folks). So what do we care if

we are proved wrong? If we do a cold analysis of the success of

combinations and hints given by maharshis like Parashara,

Varahamihira, Kalidas and others, their combinations fail most of

the times or to a very high extent anyway. This has been revealed by

software that uses their yogas etc and brings out the failure rate

vividly if you do enough charts!

 

If there is interest, I will post the 8 birthdata for discussion. I

promise, no gimmics, no personal agendas, no ulterior motives. My

always stated motive has been to put jyotish rules through the

ringer again and again. Since we do not own the combinations or the

book of techniques, there should not be any ego involved. If the

rules in the book fail, it would be a failure of the book, if not

the writer. Why should we take it so personally, as some do?

 

Let me know ...
