Chart Analysis--Important as I am confused...

March 3, 2007

Namaste Honorable Gurujis,

I am a beginning Jyotish student with some knowledge of Her Sister Sciences

Ayurveda and Sanskrit as well as studies into Vedic Literature, Tantric

Scriptures, the Classics, etc. I was a resident and the Webmaster at the

Himalayan Institute (himalayaninstitute.org) for 2 years and was a student

of Pandit Rajmani Tigunait. I am honored to have been a member of these

groups for just a few weeks, however, the knowledge I have tried to absorb

from everyone has been irreplaceable, and I thank everyone! I am

currently studying with Bhaskarjis' group on the Jyotish-Ganga list.

After attempting to do my own chart-and a simple analysis--I posted my

information/history in a recommended " reading " forum on the Mystic Board.

<http://www.mysticboard.com/viewtopic.php?t=24096 & postdays=0 & postorder=asc & s

tart=0> & postdays=0 & postorder=asc & start=0

Unfortunately, I am MUCH more confused than I was before, and honestly

*need* some answers. My history is on this post, so I won't repeat it

except to say that I have had a VERY rough life for a long time, and this

past 1 1/2 yrs have brought me to the breaking point. I honestly believe

that the Divine Mother guided me to this path 4 months ago for a reason--and

I am trying VERY hard to glean *some* understanding so that I may help

myself and hopefully things WILL get better. My reason for submitting this

tonight is because I have to schedule another very major surgery in the next

few weeks. I am also having some serious financial problems---made worse

I'm afraid because I gave my last savings today to the children mentioned in

my post. (my former fiancée's children--he passed away 15 months ago). I

ALSO got a call tonight regarding my teenage son in Guam--who has also been

an ardent Devotee of the Mother for several years---but he was found with

some drugs on his person. Although this type of " cluster crisis " is not any

different than all the others--I'd like to know if there are any specific

practices I can or should be doing today during the Eclipse--and I am also

concerned about the timing of the surgery and my son's move back here with

me next month.

ANY response would be Greatly Appreciated!!!

Aum Shantih:

Dear Elaine,

It would be good if you could paste (here) any information relative to your

query, saving members (who may wish to study your chart) the necessity of

looking elsewhere. I have gathered the information from the link you sent

and include it here, with my comments, for the benefit of others.

You Wrote:

///I am a " beginning " Jyotish student--just began studying, reading books

and discussing this spiritual science after a life crisis. I firmly believe

that the Divine Mother guided me to this study for a reason. I'm hoping to

develop an understanding of Vedic Astrology--not just for my own knowledge

and self-development--but to be able to share this gift one day.///

Although this (and other) discussion groups are a wonderful resource for

students to expand their understanding of jyotish through interaction with

other students and professionals, the first step is to study the material

available on JyotishVidya.com and the many other Websites that provide a

free learning environment for the novice astrologer. I also recommend,

particularly for those with a Western background, James Braha's " Ancient

Hindu Astrology for the Modern Western Astrologer " . It's an excellent book

for the novice...true to the principles of Parashara and, most importantly,

easy to digest. You can find more information here:

///A VERY short background: I have had a life of crisis, one after another.

Mainly since the age of 9. (the beginning of my Saturn Mahadasa I just

discovered.) My main questions and reasons for asking for a reason are, to

me, (understand I have only been studying charts for a few months)--my chart

doesn't look so bad??!!///

I'm at a loss to fathom your correct birth details as in the below post (on

another group) you gave the time as 11.30am whereas the recent information

(from the link you gave) the time is given as ??:15am...

POST FROM VALIST:

**5/30/60

1130am QUESTION: was this daylight savings time? 2 programs said

yes and 2 said no....my parents don't remember

Lat 42.20N Long 71.0W

QUESTION: Although I've always been told that my " sign " is Gemini..2

programs are telling me my Rashi is Cancer? (YES, I'm aware of the

23deg diff but thought it would go the other way-->Taurus?)

Using the time of 11:30am South Weymouth MA you were born with Leo as your

rising sign. From 10 Feb 1969 you were under the influence of ME-ME-SA

followed by ME-KE-KE on 29 Jun 1969... But you say you were running the

mahadasa of Saturn at this time???

Jyotish is an exact (mathematical) science and it's imperative to have the

correct information. Please confirm your correct T.O.B.

Best Wishes,

Mrs. Wendy

///Although I Do have 3 beautiful, mainly grown children--their Father

kidnapped them and I didn't see them for quite a bit of 7 years. (I had a

miscarriage at 4 1/2 months in 2004) I myself was kidnapped in 2001 by a con

man and taken to New York--only to be left in the streets with no money or

anything else. I've been through my home being destroyed by a tornado

(1998)--2 weeks later I was thrown from a horse and fractured 3 vert. A

month later is when my ex (an abusive marriage) took my children.

I have lost ALL my money and belongings 4 times in my adult life. This past

1 1/2 yrs though have been the worst--mainly because it has been SOO hard to

pull myself back up and find SOMETHING positive. My fiance passed away in a

freak accident Nov 5 2005--I lost his 3 children I had been caring for for 3

years and was adopting. I also lost ALL of my belongings and somehow got

saddled with thousands of dollars in bills. I was diagnosed with terminal

cancer 3 months later. I tried to take my own life 6 months ago--I took

enough pills to kill 3 horses....I woke up 24 hours later missing 2 teeth

and a dislocated hip. I never even went to the hospital. Something

happened in those 24 hours that has lead me OUT of the darkness, BACK into

Life...and this study.

I have a little background in Eastern Philosophy--I have been studying it

for 7 years, used to go to the Temple in New York every week where I learned

meditation and the Pandits there gave me a LOT of reading material,

classics, lessons in Sanskrit, Yoga... I then spent 2 years at an Ashram

here in Pa. as a student and their Webmaster.

I have a college education and have excelled in several fields--mainly

medicine. I founded 2 not-for-profit organizations and co-founded one when

I was just 17. I have not worked since I left the Ashram because I had to

go on disability. I was born with a rare genetic disorder which is a

degenerative connective tissue disorder as well as affecting my eyes

(glaucoma) and I have only one kidney.

Well, I think this is enough boring background. My birth details:

May 30,:15 AM

South Weymouth, Massachusetts (Very near Boston which I used for my chart)

42.20 N 71.03 W

Asc: Leo (Lord-Sun)

ANY reading advice, explainations, etc. are welcome.

Thank you in advance!!///
