2- & Venkat...2/6.... Free will, karma and moksha

[Guest guest]

Dear Venkat:

 

 

 

I find that all possibilities are possible through each planet.

 

The key is deciphering and learning how to get more in-tune with that

Planet.

 

Saturn is hard only because we don't know how to get in-tune with him.

 

We live in a vata deranged world where rest and rejuvenation and saturn's

natural shiva silence is not followed.

 

But, each step that you take towards Saturn. In humility and surrender,

Saturn is appeased and pleased.

 

Study the positive significations of Saturn and then aspire to be more

in-tune with those...

 

Rest,

rejuvenation,

study the cyles of Nature,

like the Moon cycle, for example...

As I've watched that for years now, and then learned how to follow the

flowings of that cycle, I could sense that Saturn was happier.

 

Saturn means the integrative part of us, between silence and activity...

so meditation,

yoga,

pranayama,

Ayurved!

many things promote stronger Saturn....

 

The way you'll be able to tell that your Saturn's getting more balanced...

is the negative, malefic signs of it...will start diminishing...

 

Good luck....

 

I have Saturn sliding through my 9th house, right now...and normally it

would have been more malefic, but since I've been desiring that my Saturn

too becomes more benefic,....

 

even this transit is bringing me some great experiences...of the 9th house

variety...

 

 

Take care
