2-Namrata: re, Saturn in Leo and in birth chart? from Mark Kincaid 12/5

December 5, 2006

Hi Mark

hanks for including me in nature astrology group. I am a

communication professionala nd have an interest in astrology. I am just a

beginner. I know that Saturn has entered Leo which is not a very

comfortable position for it. In my birth chart Saturn is in Leo itself.

Does this have more negative effect? also my moon lord is saturn and

saturn is vargottam in my chart

Thanks

Namrata Dear Namrata: One can analyze any Planet from all the various

rules and principles of Jyotish. Also, one can analyze one's

Saturn through practical experience as well! Though I wish you'd

also included your full birth chart because one should look at the

whole when discussing even one of the parts. Yes, typically

Saturn is supposed to be mediumly difficult in Leo. However, Saturn

is supposed to be similar in the Sign Cancer. Both Cancer and

Leo are thought to be okay, because Saturn is in a Sign, opposite to

one of it's Own Signs. So, because Cancer and Leo are

opposite to Capricorn and Aquarius, this is supposed to make the

placement's in either Cancer or Leo, better then other areas.

However, practical experience and especially over the last 2 1/2 years

showed that Saturn in Cancer for many people was an extremely

difficult place. I even received warnings from Senior Jyotish

teachers in India before that transit began about 3 years ago

stating that the up-coming Saturn in Cancer would represent disasters for

Mothers, emotions, and everything to do with water including

Tsunami's and Hurricanes! And wow, if we didn't have one of

the worst Hurricane periods in decades! The other thing I

like to tell people is: " In general Saturn represents

'lessons'. So, if Saturn is in Aries, Saturn represents lessons of

too much Aries. If in Gemini, lessons of too much Cancer.

There are many, many charts I've looked at with people with Saturn

in Cancer in their charts and they have a strong tendency to give to

much and the lesson of that is lively in them and their lives! So, Saturn in Leo can represent the lesson of Leo. Leo, of course

represents the 'Self', the Home of the I, the Sun, the Self, so lessons of

I, Self, ego, self-confidence are all highlighted for Saturn in Leo

transits or natal placement. Therefore ask yourself what kind

of Lessons of Self, of Leo, have you had so far? They can be

lessons of selfishness or lessons of lack of self, of too much

humility. In other words Saturn in Leo could represent a

person who has come into this World with a suppressed Leo sense, I,

or ego nature. In such a case, the solution then, is not to

chatise or pull back on one's self centeredness but to come forth

and to expand one's ego! The fact too that your Saturn in Leo

is Vargottama is another interesting feature. Generally,

Vargottama represents " stronger then " . So, when a Planet

is in a friendly sign, this placement represents something more like a

Planet in it's Own Sign. If a Planet is in it's Own sign in

both natal and navamsa charts then that Planet may act more like an

Exalted Planet. Practical experience also shows that when

planets are in their signs of negation or maleficness this quality,

too may be exascerbated, OR,.... resolved. Interesting

because I've met people who have Saturn in Aries, (Debilitation), in both

charts and their Saturn is found better, then it might be

otherwise. Finally, the best way to determine how your Saturn

is doing is to ask yourself? How is my life? Do I have

a number of negatives, set-backs, delays and frustrations in my life as a

result of Saturn being in my Leo. Also, what is your

rising sign, because the House that Saturn is in will make a difference in

where, exactly you will be experiencing the strongest 'signs' of

Saturn's influence. My Leo is in my 11th house, so over the

last 2 1/2 years I really felt it in my House of career. Now,

that Saturn has moved into my 11th house I feel that karma, and lesson of

Saturn on top of my House of desire, gain and finances.

So, you need to determine if Saturn's casting a positive of being held

back, suppressed, or negative influence. Then, once you

determine this, then you'll have a better idea what this up-coming

Transits 'may' be like. In general, if Saturn's acting

or functioning, in the most recent past as a negative force, then the

return of Saturn again into the same Sign of your birth, may

represent more or a kind of double of 'that' influence. Another way of determining how positive or balanced is your Saturn in

general is to watch when Planets especially the Moon, each month,

moves through Leo! Those days will tell you how mature and

developed your Saturn is. If you feel rough, delays and

frustrations during those 2 1/2 days each month, then that's a good

sign that your Saturn's still acting negatively. Then,

your research should take on a quality of: " What can I do now,

to balance my Saturn! and make it more positive and Benefic!

& Questions Below:

From the other day….

Philosophy

of Astrology - 4 Pillars!

There are 4

Primary areas of Astrology, or Principles, that reflect the power and

majesty of this great Knowledge and

Science.

Part

1…

“Our

Charts Fit Us”

Contained within everyone’s Charts is an Realization that

there is a symbolism of Astrology; Sun, Moon and Planets, in different

Signs and Houses, which in a very real and profound way, ….

“FITS US!”

Most people are on a path of Astrological Self-Discovery that

consists of discovering the Exact “1 to 1 Correspondence”

between our Charts and our selves!

Part

#2…

“Our

Chart’s Benefices &

Malefics”

Secondly, within each of our charts is an Astrological

Discrimination called “Benefices and Malefics”. In other words the Strengths, positive, and good aspects of

ourselves have been linked to the so-called Benefices in our

Charts.

Astrology has discovered certain Planets in specific, particular

Houses, Signs and configurations which represent instances in which those

Planets are Strong, Well Developed, Health, and therefore creating only

good or Beneific influence.

The Malefics, on the other hand, are planets in other Signs, Houses

and configurations that are known to reflect weaknesses, problematic

mental, emotional and personality issues that are the true source of ALL OF OUR PROBLEMS!

This is a huge Insight and Wisdom about life.

It means forever in the future, we can know beforehand, and at

birth what a young soul’s strengths and weaknesses will

be.

Not only this but we’ll even know which times coming up will

be full of the positive and negative karmas of those initial Benefic and

Malefic tendencies.

Part

3…

“Astrological

Predictions”

There is then the next area of Jyotish which is called the Dasa

Time Periods. These are natural declaration of what the quality, positive

or negative future will be like. This means, based on our

initial chart, and evaluation of Benefices and Malefics we’ll know

what the future will be like.

This is what a lot of people use Astrology for today, to look into

the future and determine which areas will be smooth and which ones frought

with problems, illness, losses or set-backs.

Finally….

Part

4…

“Our

Charts Contain a Formula For Self-Improvement &

Development”

Finally, there is an inherent Wisdom as to our various Benefices

and Malefics, in our charts. In the area of our Benefices,

these Planets represent aspects of ourselves in which only good will be

coming. As a result of this future Benefic periods will be

Golden Opportunites. And, though we may not need to improve

our Benefices, we can use this insight to take more Advantage of our

Benefices or Utilize them more profoundly.

Secondly, the classification of Malefics in our charts not only

represents our Problems, Weaknesses and Challenges, but they represent the

very Planets that we’ve come to literally strengthen and

self-improve!

The idea is we created these positive and negative situations in

the first place, so now we’ve come back to work on strengthening the

Undeveloped, weaker Malefic areas!

We’ve come literally to improve or change our Malefics and

we’ve even picked specific times in which to do this.

For example, if Saturn’s one of the Malefics in our chart

then especially during Saturn Dasa Periods, this is the ideal time to work

on strengthening our Saturn.

This Principle and Understanding of Astrology; however, has been

much lost and confused. As a result, the belief or ability

to strengthen one’s Malefics has become greatly forgotten. As a result, during so-called Malefic periods, then, the prediction

is only one of doom and gloom instead of the precious opportunity to work

on those areas.

For example, during the Moon’s Waning Period each month, this

time represents a certain Strength or in this case, weakness of the

Moon. As a result, Astrology says that people born with

Waning or Smallish Moon’s in their charts are therefore doomed to

suffer the consequences of such ‘wrong’ actions from the

past.

But a different Interpretation is needed here.

When you watch the Moon Waxing and Waning each month, you realize

that the Waning and New Moon time is not a cursed time, but rather a time

of inwardness, deep rest, rejuvenation and healing.

Watch the Moon for just 2 months and you can literally, feel the

Physiology slow down and be more inward.

Like the Rest cycle at night, this Moon cycle represents a Deep

Inward Rest cycle of the entire Month.

Therefore, those who were born with Waning or Smallish Moons were

born to literally strengthen or Develop their Moons.

Also, during Moon situations like the Waning Moon or Moon Dasa

periods these are the times in which it is ideal to work on our

Moons!

Like this each Planet can be seen either as one that is already

strong or one that we’ve come to work on and

strengthen.

Practical experience shows that this is the True Nature of our

Malefics!

They’re NOT only the source of our grief, mistakes and

unhappiness. They are the very planets that we’re

meant to improve.

This is extremely easy to prove!

If you have a delicate, fragile or small Moon in your chart, watch

the Moon cycle for 2 months. Then, especially during the

Waning parts, or times when you feel the greatest roughness of the Moon,

put attention during these times on strengthening your very

Moon!

Even 2 or 3 days of this will convince you that this is the real

purpose of our life’s struggles and frustrations.

Same thing can happen with all the other Planets.

Watch next time you’re rushing too fast. Maybe

you’re late for an important business meeting or get

together.

You’re rushing and you’re having little

accidents. Maybe you’re bumping your elbow rushing

through the door. Maybe you get a slight burn at the stove

as you try to rush in your kitchen.

Then, you’re rushing down the stairs and you finally slip and

fall on your behind.

You sit there, having strained your, eh, ‘ankle’ and

you end up having to cancel your very important meeting.

In bed later, you lament: “Oh, why me? This was such an important event and God or Nature, or evil forces

prevented me from going!”

Truth is we created the accident. The importance of

it aside, but we chose the path through which we tried to walk, or in this

case run.

Now, that we know a little bit about Astrology we think I bet you

Mars did it! Mars of course, is used to blame!, hehe. It’s used to blaming so and so for all our problems. So, of course we should be able to blame ‘it’ too,

right?

Maybe we even call our favorite Astrologer and ask them, “Why

did this happen? Was I in a terrible Mars

period?”

The Astrologer may look and even find either a Mars Dasa or Transit

which was prevailing at that time, but if he’s a particular good

Astrologer he would also say:

“The problem is not with Mars, but it’s with your use

of it. In your chart, yes, Mars is Malefic. And this does mean the tendencies to move too fast and be too

Marish. In fact even in Mars periods, you’ll find

these dilemmas coming up. However, the real purpose of

having a Malefic Mars is so that you realize that you’re meant to

strengthen, balance or heal your Mars!

So, next time you find yourself having to rush, remember this experience.

In fact you’ll know it, because you’ll find yourself

with a little Mars sign. At the first or even second Mars

instance, RECOGNIZE this! Then Stop! Don’t keep going till you’re flat on your,…

eh,…back. Stop then, take a deep breath and realize

you need to slow down.

Then, later, make a decision to make a commitment to strengthen or

self-improve your Mars so you don’t create any accidents in your

future!

Like that each Planet has a purpose and a unique story. It can be understood theoretically and it needs to be understood

in terms of the particulars of each one of our charts.

Saturn has a story of “lessons”, healthy and

imbalance. When Saturn is healthy and Benefic then we have

patience, calmness and find ourselves doing the ‘right’ thing

at the right time. However, if our Saturn is Malefic then we

find ourselves suffering the Malefic consequences like ill-health, set

backs, delays, disappointments, frustrations, losses, grief and

suffering.

So, is Saturn evil? No, it’s lesson is just

about self-grief that we create. Like the Mars accidents, we

set up the Saturn problems as well.

Saturn is about living one’s life with balance, poise, and

dignity. Rushing, straining and lives full of stress and

imbalance literally aggravate Saturn and make Him Malefic. It’s not the other way around. He’s

Malefic ‘functioning’ because we’ve created him that

way.

Therefore we can easily re-adjust and learn those precious things

that will turn even the dreaded Saturn Malefic, also into a

strength!

The same is true for all the other Planets, including the

Sun.

Each Planet has a positive, Benefic side and each planet has a

negative Malefic side.

It’s up to us whether we choose to keep Planets being

Malefic or learn how to make them our best friends!

Each Planet has a perfect, Divine, Fully Positive and life

affirming Benefic potential. Discover how to improve any and

all the Malefics in our charts, and your life will become smooth, natural

and easy fulfillment of desires.

Enjoy!

Thanks Mark for such a detailed explanation of Saturn in Leo. Yes My saturn is in 5th house and My details are 14 June 1979, Time 3:08 AM, Place: New Delhi. I ahve suffered a lot emotionally in last 2 and a half years. Lot of it is due to my own doing and lot of ego was involved. Now I have learnt a lot of lessons like control of ego and I. But to an extent that I start feeling guilty in anything I do and I stopped trusting my decisions. But that phase is also passing and I have started believing in myself again. Now if you can help me if I have to take any precautions for next transit in Leo Thanks Namrata markkincaid wrote: Hi Mark hanks for including me in nature astrology group.

Maybe you’re bumping your elbow rushing through the door. Maybe you get a slight burn at the stove as you try to rush in your kitchen. Then, you’re rushing down the stairs and you finally slip and fall on your behind. You sit there, having strained your, eh, ‘ankle’ and you end up having to cancel

your very important meeting. In bed later, you lament: “Oh, why me? This was such an important event and God or Nature, or evil forces prevented me from going!” Truth is we created the accident. The importance of it aside, but we chose the path through which we tried to walk, or in this case run. Now, that we know a little bit about Astrology we think I bet you Mars did it! Mars of course, is used to blame!, hehe. It’s used to blaming so and so for all our problems. So, of course we should be able to blame ‘it’ too, right? Maybe we even call our favorite Astrologer and ask them, “Why did this happen? Was I in a terrible Mars period?” The Astrologer may look and even find either a Mars Dasa or Transit which was prevailing at that time, but if he’s a particular good Astrologer he would also say: “The problem is not with Mars, but it’s with your use of it. In your chart, yes, Mars is Malefic. And this does mean the tendencies to move too fast and be too Marish. In fact even in Mars periods, you’ll find these dilemmas coming up. However, the real purpose of having a Malefic Mars is so that you realize that you’re meant to strengthen, balance or heal your Mars! So, next time you find yourself having to rush, remember this experience. In fact you’ll know it, because you’ll find yourself with a little Mars sign. At the first or even second Mars instance, RECOGNIZE this! Then Stop! Don’t keep going till you’re flat on your,… eh,…back. Stop then, take a deep breath and realize you need to slow down. Then, later, make a decision to make a commitment to strengthen or self-improve your Mars so you don’t create any accidents in your future! Like that each Planet has a purpose and a unique story. It can be understood theoretically and it needs to be understood in terms of the particulars of each one of our charts. Saturn has a story of “lessons”, healthy and imbalance. When Saturn is healthy and Benefic then we have patience, calmness and find ourselves doing the ‘right’ thing at the right time. However, if our Saturn is Malefic then we find ourselves suffering the Malefic consequences like ill-health, set backs, delays, disappointments, frustrations, losses, grief and suffering. So, is Saturn evil? No, it’s lesson is just about self-grief that we create. Like the Mars accidents, we set up the Saturn problems as

well. Saturn is about living one’s life with balance, poise, and dignity. Rushing, straining and lives full of stress and imbalance literally aggravate Saturn and make Him Malefic. It’s not the other way around. He’s Malefic ‘functioning’ because we’ve created him that way. Therefore we can easily re-adjust and learn those precious things that will turn even the dreaded Saturn Malefic, also into a strength! The same is true for all the other Planets, including the Sun. Each Planet has a positive, Benefic side and each planet has a

negative Malefic side. It’s up to us whether we choose to keep Planets being Malefic or learn how to make them our best friends! Each Planet has a perfect, Divine, Fully Positive and life affirming Benefic potential. Discover how to improve any and all the Malefics in our charts, and your life will become smooth, natural and easy fulfillment of desires. Enjoy! Mark Kincaid FounderNature’s
