Guest guest Posted June 14, 2004 Report Share Posted June 14, 2004 Dear Mark: RE: Tell me again how strong, or positive, malefic or benefic is your Natal Mars? I have been told Mars is a " friend " in my chart (not sure I remember why; Jupiter at 26 degrees is AK, and I'm in Jupiter dasa, with Mars H-2 at 25 degrees) ) Ascendant (Ashlesha) Sun, Saturn, Mercury are in Cancer so the Mars transit will impact these planets with TR Rahu casting a 4th aspect (and NT Moon is Bharani as well). I have to work very intensely and keep a balanced focus during this Mars transit and I'm on the alert for potential negative emotional swings. Sunday was difficult with the Rahu-Moon conjunction, and I did feel a subtle wobble with the Gemini Sun/Mars-in- Cancer shift today and just worked through it. I am trying to get more of a sense of how Mars would act from a Jyotish perspective, malefically or benefically. (I get potential negative emotionally combust situations should be avoided, and hard work and defending my own position may be the remedy). But I do see more violence collectively accelerating through this transit. I completely agree with you (and Sanjit) that it is a matter of consciousness, and I approach astrology from that perspective, but I still like to learn as much as I can about the potential " astral " impact of the planetary movements, which is one reason I follow the transits closely (as I would the weather on the physical plane, so I know how to prepare). So any insight into Rahu-Moon- Mars-in-Cancer you could share that would also be of benefit to others who follow your patient replies would be appreciated. Ascendant Can Sun " Can Moon Ari Mars Leo Mercury Can Jupiter Vir Venus Leo Saturn Can Rahu Tau Ketu Sco I don't know the author of the quote, but I think it follows your own sense of proportion in viewing the planetary movements, and I added the Tara mantra. —Janna " Become Buddha - Sit still and listen to your inner wisdom. Confusion comes from listening to others. Empty yourself so that you may be filled.
