Mutual Placement of Mercury and Jupiter! (Power of Discrimination)

[Guest guest]

I just checked my resources to be absolutely sure, and it is true that JU sees

ME as an enemy, but ME traditionally sees JU as a neutral. Thus the Guru has to

deal with the difficulties of the student, whereas the student must Choose to

follow the Guru, and spiritual life...the long and winding road.

 

Just a Note,

Namaste-

Respected NarsimhajiThis post is really very good and informative and refines

ones views to look at Mercury and Jupitor astrologically. As they are

considered as bitter enemies towards each other still the concept behind

Student Teacher relations really helps to learn astrology in a different

way.Thank you very much for such a informative post.RegardsKPK--- In

Mercury has no place in the final artha (10th house), but he figures in the

intermediate stage of overcoming obstacles. One's spirit of learning and

knowledge (Mercury) challenges (6th) one's intellect (Jupiter) and that helps

intellect (Jupiter) serve its purpose!> > Just as a good sishya probes a guru

intellect (and that is beneficial to the intellect).> > Learning ability

(Mercury or student) is benefic when probing and serving (6th) or forcing

contemplation/tapasya (8th) or giving gains to (11th - what are the desires of

intellect? What are its gains? Think!) or receiving from (12th) intellect

(Jupiter or teacher)! That is why they are the benefic places for Mercury with

respect to Jupiter!> > OTOH, Jupiter (intellect or

teacher benefits a student merely by being with him, but a student does not

benefit a teacher when he is merely with him. He benefits teacher only when

(learning ability or Mercury) also benefits when teacher (intellect or Jupiter)

is placed in 2nd (resources), 4th (learning/direction), 5th (abilities), 6th

(probing/challenging), 9th (sense of dharma), 10th (karma) and 11th (gains). A

teacher should stay with a student, be his resource, make him learn, impact his

abilities, probe him, define his dharma and karma and result in the gain of

knowledge.> > There is a lot of meaning hidden in ashtakavarga definition.

Those numbers are not arbitrary. Numbers used in

each ashtakavarga and for each planet have a clear meaning (that is intuitive!).

Sun, Moon, Mars etc) stands for (perhaps using real life analogies like teacher

and student)> (3) being able to derive the meaning of each house with respect to

things denoted by them (e.g. intellect and spirit of learning, intellect and
