It is a great first step, to recognize where the transits are affecting us!

good...

Well there you go.

 

For each person, the Planets are unique to them...

 

I have my Rahu in the 5th...and in aquarius, which is supposed to be a good sign,

and in my rahu period, I learned to meditate...and do...many, many spiritual things...

Cool, ...well, rahu can be a very successful..planet especially for outer achievements...

but...because rahu's also there to teach us...

about balance...

 

see, most people, may get what they want during rahu periods, but at the end of rahu, there is this powerful tendencey to loose, what you have gained...

This making the abstract ideas of Astrology, concrete and real for your own experience, I believe, is crucial...for really living this... thing we call Astrology....

Part of the problem is we're really Cosmic beings...and have literally all values within...

 

The 2 systems, do overlap quite a bit now....as they're only 23 degrees apart...

eventually,...say in another 1600, years... they'll be another 23 degrees apart....

 

And then, there will be even less....resemblence between the 2 systems...

 

Hopefully by then, the 2 two...will dissolve...and merge...into one... natural...

 

nature's astrology...

Are you referring to Vedic or western transits? Obviously, as I've been a

western astrologer for 30 years (professional for much of that) I'm well

acquainted with the way the transits affect both my chart and those of

clients. However, I'm currently learning the implications of the way the

planets affect us through the medium of Vedic astrology, and of course this

is the same but different. One of the valuable things I've learned is

turning the chart to observe transits by taking the moon or sun as the first

house, or doing so for a particular planet to see how its affairs are

affected. These are techniques we could apply to western astrology, but

often we don't.

Well, Rahu was very spiritual for me too. I've lived with spiritual and

psychic inclinations most of my life, but during Rahu I experienced a 180

degree turning in the seat of consciousness. I too learned to meditate (or

at least to do so through a specific channel), practising Buddhist

meditation for several years. I also came into witchcraft during that time.

In my case I simply let go of it and moved on. I decided I didn't want to

write any more pagan books, and also that I wanted to return to a much less

structured form of spirituality. Guru dasha is wonderful!

Well, obviously not, otherwise I'd be talking myself into fearing Rahu, and

I don't ;-) By the same token I actually love Saturn.

I totally agree with that!

Well this is why I've been so explicit about certain parts of my chart...to

try to stimulate discussion so we may all learn, and in the hopes that

others will be encouraged to share as well.
