2-Adnan, re.... Life, living & guise of Astrology,...-- from Mark....2/10/05 & Why Astrology...

[Guest guest]

Dear Adnan:

 

I enjoy writing to you, too.

 

I love sharing and experiencing .... Astrology.... with all.

 

I'm right now writing a piece called 'Finding the Astrological Life'....

 

And it's about what happens to us, when we start to see ourselves,... even life,...

through the eyes of Astrology....

 

As you know this experience brings such depth, and refinement,....and potentially, great

satisfaction to life and living.....

 

Another chapter in my book goes: " Why Astrology " ....

 

because.... we after all, live in an Astrological Universe....

 

Most people think it's Astronomical....

 

Which it is, too, hehhe.

 

However, even more precisely, 'we live in an Astrological Universe'.

 

 

Even if we don't realize 'that', every step of our day is full of Astrological 'reality',....

meaning,....and substance....

 

We can't move without Mars.

We can't even balance one foot before the other, without Saturn's help.

And, we can't even get up in the morning, if it wasn't for Jupiter's,.... faith, hope,

and input on our dreams, aspirations...and plans.....

 

take care

 

I'm up early this am...

 

had a wonderful meditation this morning,....

god, I love the Waxing Moon....

 

Now, that the Moon's starting to move away from the Sun....

it feels like it's emerging out of an intense,....doldrum....

 

Reflecting back upon the New Moon, it shouldn't have been as rough as it 'felt'....

hehehe,.... but then, looking back, upon the few days before 'capricorn',.... when the Moon was going through Sagittarius,... normally, that feels like such a nice few days....

 

but this Month/year,.... not only was that 'time',...when the Moon was extremely tiny,... however,... it was also reflecting a time,.... when Saturn was directly influencing...

from it's place in Gemini....

and also, Ketu's... influence from Aries, due to it's 9th house aspect into Sagittarius... was also contributing....

and then, I realized....Mars now, was itself, moving through Sag.....

 

So, added all together,... those Sagittarius days were fairly intense...

 

Now, we're in for a well deserved respite!

 

How you're enjoying....too!

Re: 2-Adnan, re.... Rahu and Ketu's Aspects-- > from Mark....2/6/05 & Relationship between Transits & our charts

 

 

 

Hi Again, Dear Mark,

 

So wonderful to communicate as always with you, and on such a

magnificent subject....mimmmm.....Grahas and us....

 

Thanks a lot for your notes again on Saturn, a big YES I agree with

you. Shani Deva likes to make certain that we get the lesson....it

is not like Jupiter, that you can do this or that and get away with

it. When it is Shani time....better be careful, he is not a

symphatetic teacher (at least as it appears to be).

 

Oh, by the way, could I express myself clearly? When I mentioned

Moon was going through Natal Ketu's 9th. aspect, I meant; My natal

Ketu is in Aries, so casting an aspect (9th.) on Sagitarius, and as

Moon was transiting Sagitarius, I assume She is being aspected by

Natal Ketu? Do you agree that there is an influence as such.

 

I mean do you consider aspects between natal planets and transiting

planets affecting each other, I have a feeling that they do, anyway

classical Jyotishis as you know use these.

 

By the way, I now realise that I misled you, since you probably do

not have natal Ketu in Aries, so how can you feel such an

effect....he he hehe.....he.....

 

It is wonderful to talk to you, since your enjoyment of life shines

through your messages, take care,

 

Arrive Derchi, Adnan.

 

And All Glory to Our Guru.
