Guest guest Posted March 23, 2004 Report Share Posted March 23, 2004 Dear Mark: I enjoy your insights on Guru-Jupiter. One question about this discussion: I have been with the " teachings of Guru " for over thirty years, so that is not a problem. However, I am Cancer lagna and in Jupiter Dasa, and Jupiter is therefore malefic for Cancer lagna. It seems that it would not be appropriate at this time to " strengthen Guru " through wearing/eating yellow-colored items, etc. In fact, the phase I'm in is a Siddartha-like appreciation of the Guru's teachings, but singularly following my own path to Self-realization (i.e., following the Guru within instead of through externalized teachings). Do you agree that I should not attempt to strengthen Jupiter at this time because of lagna and Dasa?
