Guest guest Posted November 6, 2004 Report Share Posted November 6, 2004 Hare Rama Krishna Dear Kumanan, Good question! Henry Ford said, it seems, that his talents have come from doing same thing over several lives! So, between a good (more knowledgeable) & a less knowledgeable astrologer, this could be the difference. Coming to your point, it is said that Guru (Guru in physical form) takes a part of shisyas' bad karma, to help their spiritual evolution! When an astrologer provides remedies to reduce the ill effects of Grahas on somebody....will they(the Grahas) inturn seize the astrologer?... debatable. (akin to the concept that the energy of the Universe is constant.. so does karma!) However, it seems more logical to think that each may have to reap the fruits of their own karma. So, we need to take a closer look at the effects of the processs involved on astrologers . It is said on this list and elsewhere that 'Agni'tatwa is enhanced in astrologers (you can link it to the inflated egos of many astrologers - a capital I, if you like it)and also that the nodes are activated. Depending on the charts of astrologers (Sarpa doshas, KSY or other ill placement of the nodes), the results may manifest and is the combined wisdom of some observers that astrologers face problems (material). If my AK is linked to the 11th house of desires, in gaining occult knowledge (4th from the 8th house), how can i escape it? In fact it is a wrong way of questioning. Man is a spiritual being, having a material experience! What if Gurus stop helping shisyas, because they do not want to share their karmas? There are many professions in this world, which have 'occupational hazards'! So, we are in awareness.... regards viswanadham vedic astrology, "Kumanan" <rkumanan> wrote: > > Dear Members, > > After reflecting on it a little bit, I realized if bad prediction > counts towards bad karma, a good prediction and suggestion of > remedies should count towards good karma.
