New Astrology Project: “Doing Great Astrology” Join new Astrology project! I’ve been thinking of a great project we could all do together to help us understand our Astrology better. You know in many ways studying Astrology is more complicated then it needs to be. I remember it took me years to get a handle on my chart. However, once I started teaching people I realized all the ways in which Astrology could be learned, more easily. For example, keep it simple. Astrology is as complicated as life. But, keep it simple, study one step at a time. I recommend people generally to first study their Planets, Signs and Houses. Once you know what the planets represent, then you can study more easily what it means to have one’s Sun or Moon in Taurus, for examle. Each planet has a natural different meaning in the different Signs. Then, we can study planets in the different houses. Discovering the actual area of the life where our planets and karmas are is exhilarating! Once you’ve made head way towards discovering the Astrological reasons why you’re the way you are then we’ll move toward labeling which planets of ours are positive (Benefic) and which one’s negative producing (or Malefic.) First Research Subject So, if we’re going to pick one person’s chart to analyze each week I thought it would only be fair to pick mine, first. I’ll be this week’s guinea pig though it’s quite wonderful to discover all the reasons why we’re the way we are. Like most people I had more malefics in my chart then benefices. In fact 7 out of the main 9 planets were malefic on the day of my birth! As a result I experienced all of the sad and unhappy consequences of those 7 principle malefics, though, at the time I knew nothing about Astrology, East or West. So, let’s first start with making a list of who we were before we knew Astrology. This may serve as a nice template from which to then find the Astrological reasons why we’re the way we are! Of course, discovering the Astrological reason is only important if only we discover the things we can do to change and improve our lives. That’s why after we complete our analyses we’ll go into the various Jyotish remedies we can do! Personality List So, make a list of who you are or what you were like at birth. These descriptions especially when linked to your Astrological reasons will help you learn how to improve your life through Jyotish. 1) I was very shy when I was young. 2) I was shy and self-conscious. 3) I could hardly speak in especially public situations and felt even shy with one person. 4) I was however also fairly philosophical. So, I enjoyed talking first to my Mother in my earliest years and then with church members, priest and decons all about God, religion and spirituality. Though at the time I didn’t even know that word: “spirituality”. 5) I liked being independent. 6) Had my own little lawn mowing business for many years in high school. 7) I was the oldest of 6 kids. 8) I loved being the oldest and wanted to be treated with respect and honor. 9) However, I ended up mostly being a kind of little dictator to my younger brothers and sisters. 10) They, however, would get back of me by teasing me. I had a delicate feeling level and the only way they could get back at me was by teasing. 11) I loved being free. I hated restrictions. 12) I had great faith in God, though at the same very time I liked to call myself a ‘doubting Thomas’ who was one of Christ’s disciples. My Date of BirthSept. 4,1951 11:17am Kansas City, Missouri Libra Jyotish Rising Sign When I started studying my Astrology I found these reasons for each of the qualities of my life. The Astrological Reasons! #1 Shyness: Emotional issues most often are associated with our Moons! #2 Shy & Self-conscious? Same thing can be due to small Moon or negative aspects of any malefics upon our Moons. #3 Difficulty with public speaking. Should look at the 2nd house of speaking here. #4 Philosophical: For philosophical nature we look primarily to Jupiter or planets in Jupiter’s signs; Sagittarius or Pisces. #5 Independence: For independence we look to strong Sun’s or Leo qualities. Sometimes Aries individuals are very independent oriented. #6 Own small business when young: Being self-employed is also due to strong Sun, Leo or Aries tendencies. #7 Oldest of 6 kids: For the oldest we look to the 11th house. For younger brothers and sisters we look to the 3rd house. #8 Loved being the oldest. Again, we look to the 11th House. #9 Little Dictator: For being dictator we look to Sun, Leo, Ariesish ness, or Mars tendencies #10 Teased-Criticized There are two flavors here. Being teased can be due to emotional or Moon issues, especially aggravated or small Moons. Karma of being teased and criticized is definitely a Virgo karma. . #11 Loved Freedom: Freedom is definitely a Piscean characteristic. #12 Great Faith: Faith is due quite often to Jupiter qualities in our charts.. Then, once you’ve identified the various meanings of the parts of your personality list then look back and see if you can find any of the Astrological reasons for yourself! The Astrological Reasons: Why! #1 Shyness: Well, first thing that comes out for me is small Moon in the 12th House. Not only that, but Moon’s with negative or malefic functioning Saturn which is also in the 12th house. #2 Shy & Self-conscious? Self-conscious probably also due to small and difficultly placed Moon. #3 Difficulty with public speaking. Well, since speaking is looked at by the 2nd house I look there. And, no planets in the 2nd, but 2nd house lord Mars was weak in Cancer in my 10thndth house. house and negative functioning Saturn was fully aspecting the 2 house from the 12 #4 Philosophical: Philosophical, I see this from my Jupiter in Pisces. Jupiter in Pisces can reflect a strong inquisitive and philosophical nature. Also, Jupiter aspecting the Moon can reflect this tendency. #5 Independence: Any planets in Leo can give a strong independent nature. 4 planets in Leo can definitely do this too! #6 Own small business when young: This too is probably due to Leo planets. The strongest, Sun in Leo definitely gives Own business drive. #7 Oldest of 6 kids: For the oldest we look to the 11th house. For younger brothers and sisters we look to the 3rd house. In my chart, there are those 4 planets in Leo in the 11th. I always assumed there was NO Room…for anyone else there! Hehe. For younger we look to the 3rd and for me I had Sagittarius there and NO planets in that house. But, the lord of the 3rd was in Own sign in Pisces in my chart. I always thought that was one reason why I had karma of younger siblings and no older. #8 Loved being the oldest. I always thought this love of being the oldest might be my Sun in Leo. I love being the boss, being a king, being the oldest…he he. #9 Little Dictator: I think was due to all those other planets in Leo. Jyotish says one, the Sun in happy there, but others symbolic of self-centered ness, and selfish ness, etc. #10 Teased, Criticized: I think how others could end up teasing me was due to my smallish Moon in my chart. Also, who teased me, my younger brothers and sisters may be that Moon/Pisces fully aspecting my Moon in the 12th. Also, the karma of being teased and especially criticized can be related to my 2 planets in Virgo, Moon and Pisces. #11 Loved Freedom: I think this is due to my Jupiter in Pisces. Pisces loves freedom and Sun in Leo likes being free too. #12 Great Faith: I think this is due to my Jupiter in Pisces too. Jupiter’s in Pisces and fully aspecting my Moon and Saturn, both of which were in my 12th House. The 12th House is also the house of the transcendental God. With each stitch of Jyotish ‘aha’ that I gained, more and more clarity came to me. Now, I realize it’s extremely important that we find the Astrological reasons why we’re the way we are. Even if there were no concrete remedies or things we could do about our Malefics; even just knowing the reasons why, gives us more peace of mind!
