2-Bonnie............Full Moon & other assorted thoughts...including..... why Katrina?.

[Guest guest]

Hi Mark! So good to hear from you, thanks for your reply! The reason I asked

about the Full Moon,

Hi Mark!

 

So good to hear from you, thanks for your reply! The reason I asked

about the Full Moon, is that I received an email from the " Domes

Announcements " saying come to the dome for the Full Moon/Founders

celebrations on Friday eve. That's when I started to question my

jyotish program.

 

 

I trust our Jyotish programs very implicitly.

One time I compared Parshara's light with the position of the planets according to Astrology

magazine. They'd predict exactly when the Moon would be full or when Venus or Mercury was going

to be close to the Moon, and in what sign, and....

when I created a Jyotish chart for that, I was amazed at how identical the Jyotish program was

with the Astronomy.

 

 

I know that most calendars reflect the western point

of view.

 

Almost always the Calendars are correct with the phases of the Moon, but because the Full Moon

this year, is later on the 17th, ie. 9pm here in midwestern US,

then I'm not surprised that the calendar people put it as the 18th...

 

And thanks so much for confirming what I have known along, we

lovers of jyotish celebrate the FM about 24 hrs. later that the rest!!

 

Interesting how your business changed, Mark. But it's great that you

have 2 careers and can mix and match them when you need to!

 

Thanks, it seems my whole life I've had to careers, or dharmas.

 

Since I was 20 years old I was a TM teacher, but when I couldn't make enough money at that,

a friend of mine and I, in Chicago, started a business to help realtors.

 

After awhile he went to Amherst and I continued in Chicago. I then decided to focus exclusively

on home remodeling and mostly painting, which I find interesting from the point of view of my chart.

 

Having Mars in my 10th house, helps me understand why I'm attracted to 'remodeling', but painting?

perhaps because I have a Libra rising, which is ruled by Venus which is probably the main planet

of painting!

hehe

 

 

Yes,

watching Mars/Aries and Sat/Cancer now is quite interesting. The

hurricane was an explosion of them together I feel. I heard that the

meteorologists were struck when a 'huge ball of hot swirling air

'(Saturn)

 

I think the 'heat' of that hot swirling air, may be related to Mars, while the Saturn

may be why all these great 'desturbances' have been coming over water.

 

Last year, too, we had the most hurricanes in years, and even then, I thought, I bet you, this

is due to Saturn being in Cancer, the sign of Water!

 

 

came out of nowhere and caused the waters to rise, rain to

fall and levies to break. Saturn/Mars and their aspects on to each

other had their way on our southern borders.

 

Not only was Mars & Saturn mutally aspecting each other, but also the Moon was moving very through

Aries, then Taurus and then, Gemini and especially Cancer.

 

On the day, Katrina hit New Orleans it was 8/28th....and on that day the Moon was in Gemini,

between Mars in Aries & Saturn in Cancer, but also,

 

and I think this even increased the intensity, not only was Mars fully aspecting Cancer and Saturn,

but Rahu, too, was fully aspecting Cancer!

 

So, when the Moon went through Cancer, these were the worst parts of the storm, hitting the US, and

causing the most Saturn grief, for millions of people....

 

I only hope this month on: September 27th, when the Moon returns to Cancer, and Mars, Saturn &

Rahu, it'll be better!

 

Jupiter will be on the verge of it's most important transit into Libra, so maybe that'll help!

 

We'll see....

 

I think this is why I love the transits so much cuz they teach so innocently all the rules and

principles of Jyotish!

 

Things feel so much better

now that Venus is transiting Libra....hey, you know what I mean!

 

Annnnnnd, I think this Venus in Virgo was why so many thousands of people were so negative about

how poor the national fema, governmental response was.

 

It was so uncharacteristic of disaster victims, to blame others for there plight, and it really

is still now, being so negative.

 

This shows the energy of the stars at the exact moment of an important event, whether a transit like

this, or one's birth, do continue reverberating vibrations of a unique pattern for a long time.

 

 

 

Ven/Virgo is always very noticeable for me, it's like ladies just lose

themselves....many completely overshadowed, easy to make unwise

decisions, feel separate, etc.

 

I've found that too. For me, Venus ruling my lst house, is fairly noticable being debilitated,

in my 12th house of lost.

 

I find that people generally, don't respect me as much.

 

When Sun's in Leo, like now, I normally get sooooo much respect, and now that Venus has gone

into Libra, it's back again!

 

Whew!....it's so great having this wisdom, cuz it helps us stay calm amidst the virtual storm of

complicated astrological energies...

 

I don't take them so personally any more, and because it's so gosh darn predicatable, I don't blame

'others' for reflecting to me these realities!

 

 

 

For Libras, I would think that Sat/Cancer your 10th, would be good for

jyotish, study and wisdom from consciousness.

 

I know it depends, rather on how peaceful one is with one's Saturn!

 

In 1975, the last time, Saturn was in Cancer, way before I knew any Jyotish, I couldn't make

any money teaching meditation, and this was when I picked up re-modeling, ie. working with my hands,

very Saturnish, thing, Saturn moving through my 10th house.

 

It's like that again, now.

 

I'm not making much money through the Jyotish, but my painting, remodeling business is flourishing!

 

I also think Jupiter finally on the verge of moving away from Saturn for the first time, in 5 years,

really helps!

 

 

 

I think you're fortunate

that you have Sani as a friend. You truly have learned the value of

silence and 'pleasing' Saturn.

 

I think learning how to make Saturn my friend has been the real key.

 

Even though I have a Libra rising, and Saturn's already supposed to be such a great planet,

however, having it 'lost' in my 12th house, meant that I was lost, earlier, to it's great

benefic powers.

 

But, ever since I went into Saturn Mahadasa in 1991, and I temporarily 'lost' everything I held

dear to me, money, child in marriage, marriage, divorce, and my dad died, all in those first few years,

 

I was prime to learn!

 

I remember asking Saturn why he was beating me up so badly, (since I'd already been studying Jyotish,

since 1988, or 3 years, and I said:

 

" I thought I was in-tune with you! "

 

I think I must have told you the story, where after that expression, he just started laughing at me!

 

It went on for almost 2 minutes, and that was some of the longest 2 minutes I can ever remember!

hehe

 

At the end, sitting there in some degree of forced humility, I could only say,....

 

" okay,....what do you want from me...... "

 

And he said just 2 words,..... " more silence..... "

 

 

 

And he said it about 2 or 3 times....

 

Over the next few years I realized this slowly became my mantra!

hehhe

 

 

I started noticing as much as I understood Saturn intellectually, I really had a ways to go.

 

And how was this growth, but one of increasing inner silence....

 

 

I think after this experience, this was the first time where I consciously began looking into my

mental life, and saying: " Is there a lot or little inner silence.... going on? "

 

After that, I realized it was okay for me to spend extra time, to develop this!

 

And, with each step towards more and " more silence " ,....my Saturn life ceased being upsetting, and

slowly, and then, even more rapidly, started being more blissful!

 

accomplishing and even successful!

 

Fairfield is a good place to live for

Saturn people. They seem to be the most comfortable there.

 

Until Jyotish, I never really thought of myself as a Saturn person.

 

I think it must be my Jupiter and especially it's aspect upon my Moon, ie. my 10th house lord,

and Mars in the 10th, and all my Leo, hhehehe,

 

that I was much different during my Jupiter period.

 

But, ever since I've moved into Saturn, ie. 1991, I've loved being here, and now, relish every

wonderful Saturn moment....!

 

hehehe

 

Yes, studying and knowing jyotish have changed my life too. Knowing

that Jupiter was going to be transiting Virgo my 10th, gave me the

green light to expand my businesses. It's been great fun, and I feel

the blessings of the Guru and Mother Divine lighting and shining in on

me guiding the way. The next year of Jup/Libra should be very good

too, my 11th. Then Jup/Scorpio my 12th will be time for a good rest,

and inward stroke. Hoping there is a nice Peace Palace out here by

then or maybe a few to chose from!! To have a nice long retreat and

start some writing, etc.

 

I love especially listening to people putting their understanding of their Jyotish,

in their own terms, and words!

 

 

 

It's so cool to hear about your experiences from knowing and loving

jyotish. It's like having a key to heaven!!

 

That's exactly right!

 

I think what's been the most confusing for me, ie. pre-Jyotish, was I kept hearing Maharishi

say this would happen for you, ie. through meditation,....

 

but it never did really, and like a lot of meditators I became very concerned why the benefits

of meditation we'ren't coming more quickly!

 

But, then when I started my study of Jyotish, I realized, that my Saturn was still acting malefically,

in fact many of my malefics were still doing THAT!

 

So, that's what got me thinking.... I wonder if it would really help to understand one's Astrology,

in addition to meditating.....

 

Now, I know, that Jyotish/Astrology is like this huge ADVANCED TECHNIQUE OF CONSCIOUSNESS....

 

and it's a very important of Vedic knowledge for us.

 

Learning how to understand and then, cooperate with one's life, more concretly is one of the greatest

benefits of Astrology!

 

 

Seeing what's coming

helps in so many ways to be prepared, and make better choices.

 

Yes, yes.... when I started especially watching the Stars through the transits, that was when Jyotish,

really came alive, for me!

 

 

 

Part of me is always in FF. I am comfortable out here, but always am

wanting great things to come to and from FF and VC.

 

 

I think the greatest thing Jyotish has helped me understand is the real concrete, and even Cosmic

need that I should be....accepting....

 

And for me, I really feel this is the blessed opportunity of my Saturn period.

 

I'm now consciously enjoying every moment of each day, imbibing more and more silence!

as Sani has instructed....

 

A time will come when it's my time to come out, and that too, will be a glorious, next moment...

 

But the key to that, for me, is how well, how deeply I unfold this innate positive power of Saturn,

during my Sani period....

 

I think the tale end of this, might be really good at doing my writing,....

 

Though I have a feeling the real coming out of this whole thing, will come when I go into my

Mercury Mahadasa in .... 2010.....

 

I have been thinking that I'd do it earlier, as my Jyotish already is going so well.

 

In fact, this year vs. last year I have almost 900 rs to my Jyotish newsletters, where last

year there were only 100!

 

But, now, as Saturn has begun this most powerful transit into Cancer, which is after all my 10th house,

 

I now believe this is the last stage of Sani's lessons for me, so I'm surrendering to him, as to life,

again,....and leaving the rest, up to almighty God!

 

who's the one I wish to serve, anyway!

hehee

 

 

Then, Saturn goes into Leo, where my Sun is, and then, Virgo, where my Moon is, so maybe, I still have

at least 5 more years left!

 

But, like Jupiter going into Libra, when Saturn finally goes out of my 12th house, and into Libra,

my first house, as well as it's home of Exaltation,... now that should be a great time!

 

Coincidently, I'll have begun my new, Mercury dasa and that'll probably feel as different as my '

Jupiter one! in the late 70's & 80's!

 

Any sign of the

pundits? We so much need the numbers to raise our governments

consciousness. We don't need any more poor decisions coming from the

top! How else do we change the course? Bush is very powerful, how

else can we either get him out or lift his thinking to be in tune with

Nature. Interesting times....

 

For many, many years I was quite confused, that the numbers in the domes, weren't high enough,

and why couldn't people get it together...

 

Then, this last summer, when I listened to Maharishi, talking to the World press, like he does,

each week....

 

it suddenly came to me....

 

Maybe it's just as important that Maharishi teach people about this knowledge, as create it!

 

In other words, maybe the World needs to understand where this wisdom and power comes from because

once it comes, if people don't have a clarity as to how and why it happened, all manners of ownership

will try and be made...

 

" Ahhhh, Heaven came,....because of all the prayers of the World.... "

 

Or, maybe.... " Ahhhh Heaven has finally come because of my religion.. " .... and on and on....

 

I heard Maharishi on the Perfect Man 2

course say,' Oh Mr. Bush doesn't know what I can do on the level of

consciousness'. I keep wanting a miracle to come, something profound

that will change the course we are on. I just stay simple and happy

and on the program trying to do my little part.

 

 

Now I understand that Saturn himself, creates the most important miracle sometimes,...

 

of grief!

 

 

When people realize that Nature, hereself, is really Almighty.... and without nature, one's

accomplishments in life are very superficial and shallow.....

 

 

 

Lots of love to you, have a glorious Full Moon in Pisces tomorrow!!

Perfect night to walk on the beach, takes my breath away to see the FM

lingering over the ocean...wow!!

 

I know what you mean. Each day, I have this little ocean, in Walton Lake, where the Sun

comes up each morning with glorious sun rises, and the Moon last time, was exquisite!

on the lake, too...

 

 

 

Bye for now...Oh, what do you see coming for Bush? He is a Cancer

rising with Saturn transiting. Obviously he is in for lots of public

humiliation. How about impeachment? So many are saying death, not

sure about it though, he seem to have quite a bag of tricks, doesn't

he??

 

I didn't think he'd get re-elected.... But as Saturn was moving through his 12th house,

even though he got elected he still brought all this financial grief, and poverty as well

as War to our entire World!

 

Now, I think as Saturn's going through his first house, and especially aspecting his Moon & Jupiter

which are in his Virgo, in his 3rd house, he will be going through a kind of mini-sade sat, himself!

 

And this will be a very trying and humbling time for him.

 

He has quite a bit of arrogance, you know, ie. Mars in Leo in his 2nd,.... and pompous....

 

And according to his chart, he's supposed to have moved into his Saturn Mahadasa period in 2003,

wow, what big changes for him!

 

His Saturn was in Cancer, also, in his birth chart, ....ie. first house....

 

 

 

 

Thanks for the update, take care. I do take a peak at your website

when I have time. Just very focused this past year and next. Enjoy

Venus/Libra and soon Jupiter there too for all next year!!!

 

More soon.......

 

Lots of Love,

 

 

take care, you too...

 

Quite fun talking with you.

 

It actually helped solidify for me, my next few years, putting them into words, for you.

 

love too
