Materialist or Spiritualist? (for Azaad)

[Guest guest]

Namaste Azaad,

 

Here's my general response to your question. First, there is another

school of thought in Jyotish that states the exaltation and

debilitation of Rahu. It is said that Rahu is exalted in Taurus and

debilitated in Scorpio. Using this criteria, your Rahu is not

debilitated.

 

Second, one's spiritual life does not need to clash with one's

material needs in this lifetime. One can practice Karma Yoga to

satisfy both.

 

Third, one's education is a function of hard work and creativity.

For example, the 6th house has an argala to the 5th house, the house

of intelligence/education. Or, the 5th house of intelligence and

creativity has argala to the 4th house of education.

 

Regards,

 

John R.

Dear Sh. John,

Thanks for your response.

 

I am not very familiar with argala, I do know it means a bolt. Is 6th

on 5th and 5th on 4th are generallly true for any chart or true for

my specific chart.

In the latter case hard work work will release creativity and that in

turn eduaction? That makes total sense.

Could you comment on the 4th house Lord, that is Mercury, which is

the Atmakaraka. Does its 'old age' status translate into lesser

wordly awareness,lesser abilitty to make right decisions etc.?

 

Best regards

Aazaad

Namaste Azaad,

 

The Atmakaraka represents your soul and does not mean it's weak

because of it being "old". You should read books by current

jyotishis relating this matter.

 

The Atmakaraka has many uses one of which is its use to determine

career and life accomplishments. You should familiarize yourself

with the Jaimini sutras to appreciate the significance of the

atmakaraka.

 

Regards,

 

John R.
