Guest guest Posted March 15, 2005 Report Share Posted March 15, 2005 Dear Kartik: See below: "amoebabhu" <amoebabhu vedic astrology Tue, 15 Mar 2005 05:54:44 -0000 vedic astrology [vedic astrology] Mark <Re: 2-Kartik, & All, re.....How malefic is a malefic and how benefic is a Dear Mark, Sorry about the question being unclear. What I wanted to ask was that if I try to change the way a planet affects me, in other words, try to reduce the malefic aspect of a planet by being in sync with its energies (the mars example that you had mentioned earlier) it implies a change in myself thus shouldnt it be foreseen by astrology and if so: it means that whether I change the way i live is pre-destined. Ahh, thank you. Now it's more clear. No the area of self-effort isn't so goverened by this. Though of course the natural question arises, if Jyotish has the ability to see the future, why wouldn't transformative parts be a part of that? Without going into a too lengthy discussion here, we've covered many of these points over the last few days... Suffice it to say, we need to think in terms of self-effort, as well as lethargy as being under our control. In other words, if we believe that we have no control over our lives, then the natural result, comes, to why care? However, it does matter, whether we feel we have control and a choice. In Truth, the closer we get to the source of all freedom, we gain increasing ability to make changes. The more we're locked into our malefics, however, the more of a slave will we be to the World, circumstances, or addicitons and compulsions. However, power and freedom do exist, just as it was for the Lord, was he compelled, and had no choice as to the creation! I don't think so! So, like that, the more inner, unboundedness, we develop, then, then more power in fulfilling our lives, results... ciao Mark Kincaid I hope this is more clear.
