Benefits of Astrology....

 

 

 

Beginning part 2

 

 

 

 

The way the second point of Jyotish works, is through a very specific

appreciation of the various unique

aspects of our charts. In other words, as we focus on the specifics of

'our' charts, we not only gain, self-

knowledge but we also gain the wisdom of 'particulars' which again is

extremely powerful and unique.

 

For example, some have planets in their 10th house, while others the 4th

house.

 

In addition to these two people's charts, giving intrinsic understanding as

to who these individuals are,

the special details of the different houses, and the lessons and dramas,

contained, therein, bring also

very unique and special insight into the details of each of our charts, that

also self-empowering.

 

I have a close friend of mine, who had 4 planets in her 10th house in her

birth chart. However, due to

other circumstances, in her chart, she got married, early, and spent almost

all of her adult life, in the

more traditional role of wife, and mother, only.

 

All of those years she felt completely unfulfilled, because the wisdom of

her 10th house planets were

not brought to her awareness.

 

If she and her family had understood that she was meant to be both, a

mother, wife, and a career woman;

then, she would have lived a much more fulfilling, and certainly much less

stressed, and grief filled life!

 

 

I'll finish by giving some of other wonderful examples of both points; #1

and 2.

 

 

#1 Benefit of Astrology is through providing Self-Knowledge.

 

 

I'll use just one chart of one of my students. This 'friend' of mine, has a

chart like most others. He has

his strengths and his weaknesses, but not growing up, in understanding this

significance meant that he

lived a life of much struggle and futility, that a simple awareness of

Astrology could have literally changed!

 

These facts are essentially true for most people!

 

In my friends case, I'll call him Tom: His strengths are primarily his Sun

in Cancer, and his Moon with

Jupiter in his chart. As a result he's a very giving and nourishing

individual and very spiritual. His Jupiter

is also in Scorpio, so he's a real genius at research and going deep into

the nature of many subjects like

engineering though of course, he was not lead to these insights until much

later in life.

 

Though even now, he's so wrapped up in the struggles and malefics in his

chart, that he's not even close

to living that life that he was meant to live.

 

The weaknesses of his chart, (which are those pesky malefics!), include,

Mercury and Saturn in the same house.

 

This represents tension between the all important Saturn and his Mercury's

Intellectual nature. As a result

he makes many rash and unwise choices just because he can't see clearly, due

to Saturn's negative presence.

 

He also has Mars in the 7th which represented a very angry young person, and

three marriages, later, he's

still struggling with much unhappiness due to the unfinished quality of that

aspect of his chart.

 

In a more ideal world, Tom would have learned his chart early. He would

have gained an insight into his self

that only Astrology seems capable of giving.

 

This self-wisdom, would have had the greatest chance at helping him 'grasp'

the real, complete,

purpose of his life.

 

He could have spent his early life, discovering subjects in line with the

real nature of his chart.

He would have especially learned where his weaknesses reside, and how

specifically to strengthen those

malefic areas, first from inside, and then, not to have to face them

without!

 

In addition to the general benefit of learning more about himself, through

his chart,

the 2nd benefit, or ability, really, of Astrology, to gain specific wisdom

as to the various aspects of his chart,

could also have saved him much time and struggle.

 

If he had been my child, I would have taught him about anger, very early.

Anger represents misunderstood,

'resentment' in most cases. Because people believe that life, or

especially, people, (depending upon where

there Mars is), should be doing something different, then what they're

doing.. Or, that they have been

unjustly acted upon. As a result they feel unjustly confused, and anger

results.

 

When one understands the knowledge of karma, and as you sow so shall you

reap,

you get a chance to dissipate that completely useless quality of malefic

Mars, which was also Kuja dosha, in

his chart, because of it's position, aspecting his 7th house of marriage and

partnerships.

 

I would have also taught him about how to get more in-tune with his Saturn,

and learning how to turn his

Saturn into it's more balanced and benefic side, he would have learned the

very thing he needed to improve

all of his decision makings, or his Mercury.

 

I would also have helped him see his tremendous spiritual opportunities.

Both his Jupiter and Moon are in

his 9th house, and there have been some great spiritual advantages due to

this.

 

I would have emphasized his strengths, while helping him understand his

malefics.

 

 

Such is the vision of 'possibilities' for us, through our Astrology...

 

Not only Self-Knowledge and Wisdom, but,...also very practical and detailed

appreciation and understanding

as to the specific areas of our lives, we were born to focus on.

 

>From the General to the specific, great Astrology has it all!

with you.

 

 

 

I hope this has been helpful.
