Mark < 2-Kartik, & All, re.....How malefic is a malefic and how benefic is a

[Guest guest]

Dear Mark,

That was very well thought out and fantastically

expressed.Thanks for the time! But, then as with all answers come

more questions :-). I have one question :

1. Free will : You mentioned getting more in sync with planetary

needs (my own words describibg what you said, please correct me if I

am wrong) and thus reducing any malefic aspect they might have.

Since, this would have a strong effect on the native on many levels

wouldnt it be possible to see this happening in his chart( If so

isnt it a contradiction of free will?). I am pretty sure 'the free

will' issue has been raised before but I decided to go ahead and ask

again (sorry!).

Regards,

Kartik
