Guest guest Posted March 14, 2005 Report Share Posted March 14, 2005 Dear Kartik: I'm not quite sure what you're asking. What do you mean when you say: "Isn't it a contradiction of free will?" Please ask your question again. Mark K. "amoebabhu" <amoebabhu > vedic astrology Tue, 15 Mar 2005 02:37:46 -0000 vedic astrology [vedic astrology] Mark < Re: 2-Kartik, & All, re.....How malefic is a malefic and how benefic is a 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!).
