2-Surya Vishnu, re.... Q Can you indicate the positives and negatives of all the 9 planets ...?... Mark Kincaid 3/4/05

[Guest guest]

Dear Mark,

 

Wonderful exposition of the point .. if its not asking too much, it will be very useful if you can indicate the positives and negatives of all the 9 planets ...

 

Also I am curious to know how these negative and positive traits manifest per the lordships ..

 

Say what negative/positive qualities of saturn show up

naturally for capricorn as against the aquarius ..

 

I sometimes wonder and think that the whole process of a person being born in different signs in different births is to learn to balance the qualities shown by that particular sign ..

 

In effect one way to salvation is when the soul is wise enough to experience all the 12 ziodiacs and learns to balance all the positive and negatives given by them ...

 

which is what Spirituality of asthanga Yoga is all about ... balance and transcendance !!

 

Thanks!

Dear Surya:

 

 

You said: " if its not asking too much, it will be very useful if you can indicate the positives and negatives of all the 9 planets ... "

 

In short one could say with each planet, there are a number of Jyotish rules that would lead one to suspect whether or not any Planet is acting malefically.

 

However, there's another way to answer this.

 

One can look to see if one is experiencing any of the negative or un-happy, qualities associated with that Planet, and that can lead one to get a head's start on determining that.

 

For example, with the Sun.... because the Sun rules self-confidence, and self-esteem, whenever a person has powerful or health self-confidence, then, it's probably true that their Sun is acting benefically.

 

However, if a person experiences a strong amount of 'lack' of self-confidence, and you look at their chart, and maybe they have the Sun in the 8th or 12th houses, then one can form a good guess that it's functioning as a malefic.

 

For the Moon, if the person is fragile emotionally, or gets their feeling hurt easily, or especially, has emotional problems, this is the sign that the Moon may be acting malefically.

However, if a person is very even, emotionally, or has very good intuition, and a strong, happy emotional constitution, then, these may be good indicators of strong Moonish beneficness.

 

For, Mercury, the functionings of the intellect are the Astrological 'signs' whether Mercury is acting maleifically or not. If intellect is clear, and decision makings are easy and effortless then Mercury may be benefic. However, if it's hard for a person to think clearly, say in the case of someone with Mercury in Pisces, then, Mercury may be acting malefically.

 

For, Venus, the planet that represents the expressive, or affectionate heart, one's ability to love, and to appreciate are the signs of a healthy, balanced Venus. If however, the person is cold, or unexpressive, or even critical then Venus may be acting malefically. I know a number of individuals who have Venus in Virgo, and they're extemely hard on themselves, and have a very difficult time, appreciating circumstances or even others.

 

For, Saturn, balance, health, losses, grief, delays, frustrations are all the negative associations for Sani.

If Saturn is healthy or in it's Own Sign, etc. then, one is more patient, calm, and mature, capable to good discipline, and doing the right thing at the right time.

 

For, Mars, if Mars is positive, one has natural enthuiasm, good energy, strong, firm, and a great defender of the weak. If Mars is found acting malefically, all kinds of significations of it's maleficness, will be found. Some of these include, criminal behavior, going too fast, having accidents, being too pushy, angry, negative, etc.

 

For, Rahu & Ketu, the primary important issues include healthy desires or not. Rahu/Ketu, therefore, represents the 'desire mechanism', so if Rahu/Ketu is positive one has desires but they don't control, or obsess the person. However, if Rahu/Ketu is acting malefically, then, one is prone to obsessions, addictions, unhealthy pursuit of money, power, fame and ego.

 

I hope this answers what you were asking.

 

 

Sincerely,

 

 

Mark Kincaid

 

 

 

ps... As you probably know there may be many reasons why any planet is found acting malefically, or benefically.... but to me,...

the key is once we figure out that 'it's' probably acting malefically, then that can alert us to do anything to try and turn that planet around....

 

In future emails we can talk about exactly what we can do to create more beneficness, especially when a planet's been leading us astray and acting malefically.

 

I'll give one example.

 

Let's say, we are experiencing some kind of strong lack of self-confidence, and Sun is found to be either in the 12th house, or ... say in the 7th house.

 

I did the chart the other day of a lady and she told me one of her most challenging parts of her entire life was having a very strong lack of self-confidence.

 

When I looked at her chart, all I could find was her Sun was in the 7th house. Her Sun was ruling her 10th house, and she had a quality of being in business with partners, but...

 

when she told me she had a strong lack of self-conficence, and feared being able to do 'it', 'life', or being a success by herself...

 

the qualities of her malefically acting Sun became more apparent.

 

I've seen this in many others when the Sun's in the house of the 'other' or the 7th house, often, there's an accompanying 'lack of self-confidence' that goes along with that...

 

So, it was a no brainer, really to tell her, her Sun was probably functioning in a malefic situation, and she might want to take some steps that would have the effect of strengthening her Sun.

 

She got excited about that, and I told her some ways to do that.

Dear Mark

 

Thanks a lot for the quick analysis.

 

But I have come across somewhere that saturn being a lagna lord for aquarius

asc doesnot affect the native negatively.

Dear Jugal:

 

This can be true, but I'll tell you a great Jyotish truth.

 

The best way to tell whether a planet is 'acting' malefically, ....is...

 

and you know I've come across lots of people with Saturn's in their Own

signs,

and even Exalted, who....are still experiencing the negative 'sides' to

Saturn....

 

anyway....the best way to 'tell'...

 

is to ask yourself,....Q Am i experiencing the negative consequences of

Saturn...

 

impatience,

frustration,

grief,

loss, losses,

sufferings,,...

ill-health...

 

delays,...

pain in the body,

cold,

dry,

 

etc...

 

Or am I experiencing the positives of Saturn?

 

patience,...

smoothness,...

peacefulness, within....

composure,

doing the right thing at the right time...

deeeeeeep, silence...within...

no cravings,

integration of silence along with activity....

getting my desires fulfilled without losses....

or if losses happen, you know things go up and down, anyway,....

then, I'm not adversely affected by those changes on an outer level....

 

I know people like this!

 

who exhibit these wonderfully positive sides of Saturn....

 

Also, it may be true what you read about,.... Saturn being the Lord of

Aquarius, and the Lord

of your first House, in the 5th house may have some positive associations...

 

Certainly better then the Lord of the 8th,...in the 12th...for example...

 

But, don't forget, your same Saturn is also simultaneously the Lord of the

12th,...and the

Lord of the 12th in the 5th, is supposed to be functioning, more

malefically,... and some of

the repercussions of this will be.... delays and disappointments, set-backs,

with....

 

children,....

raising them,...

education,

breaks in education....

 

etc.

 

 

Finally, the fact that Saturn's also simultaneously aspecting your Sun....

would also be indicative of 'things' going more slowly then you'd like...

 

Also, one thing I forgot to mention, is that Saturn's aspecting also, the 11

house, which is the

main house of desires....

 

In other words how we move and fulfill our desires is goverened by the 11th

house,...

so, the fact that Saturn's in the 5th, aspecting the 11th....

is like Saturn in the 11th,....and often in people's charts, who have Saturn

in the 5th or 11th,

even 9th.... all of which can negatively affect the 11th house....

 

Just remember to ask yourself, 'am I experiencing' the positive or negative

side of this planet!

 

 

ciao
