How Do We

Fulfill Our Desires

 

In Life

&

Through

Our Astrology

 

 

One of the most important questions we’ll ask in life is: How

can I fulfill my desires or astrology? In

other words, if we don’t consider our astrology when contemplating

our desires, dreams and aspirations; there’s a good chance that we

will only fulfill our desires in exact proportion to how many benefices

and malefics we have.

In other words, where we have our benefices we’re already

doing right action. As a result we’re

thinking, feeling and acting correctly and life is good! We’re enjoying positive and happy

consequences through our benefic planets and that’s why astrology

calls them benefices.

However, where we have our malefics these represent those planets

or aspects of ourselves that are not balanced, healthy or functioning

correctly. As a result we’re

spontaneously thinking, feeling or acting incorrectly and as a result

‘not’ getting our desires fulfilled.

Where we have our malefics we’re experiencing instead 1)

frustrations, 2) disappointments, 3) delays, 4) losses, 5) set-backs, 6)

trials, 7) tribulations, 8) unhappiness, and 9) suffering.

Why? Because malefics represent where

we’re ‘not’ in-tune with certain aspects of ourselves

and as a result creating undesirable effects, even if we don’t know

it! The timing of it is, depending upon our

Dasa and Transits periods; we will either be experiencing positive effects

due to being in benefic periods or negative and unhappy results due to

malefic periods.

 

The key to fulfilling desires then is to always think, feel and act

in benefic ways! When we do this we

will always be creating the highest form of desires for ourselves and

constantly moving in the upward direction, whether we’re seeking for

spiritual growth or material advancement.

 

The Sun

Self-Confidence

 

Let’s take the example of the Sun.

Sun represents consciousness. If

we’re asleep, or dull, or unawake, then the very basis of our

fulfillment process will be lacking. Our

Sun’s also represent our self-confidence and already a clear

relationship has been found in life between how much self-confident we

have and the natural breaks and the natural fulfillment of our desires,

whatever they are.

Sun also represents our will and strength of will is a very

important aspect of how we fulfill our desires.

Finally, our Sun’s are of a particular ‘Sign’

nature in life. These specific and unique

flavors of consciousness, ie. The Sun in Aries, or Taurus, Gemini, Cancer,

etc. are the flavor in which we function with our Sun’s

self-confidence.

For example, someone with their Sun in Gemini has the self

disposition to enjoy doing several things at the same time. So, quite often Sun in Gemini people find

themselves rising up in life by enjoying doing many things at the same

time. In fact, their bosses see in them a

great strength to be able to handle many responsibilities at the same

time.

Life itself is many things at the same time, so Gemini is a good,

positive and natural part of life. However,

quite often, and especially depending on the clarity of our other planets,

people with their Sun’s in Gemini end up doing too many things at

the same time. Therefore, through their very

Sun-Gemini nature they end up diminishing their natural fulfillment of

desires just because they don’t understand the nature of their

Sun-Self in Gemini.

Our first goal then is to make sure our Sun’s are wide awake,

happy, balanced and developed.

 

The Moon

Mind

 

Now, let’s examine the Moon in terms of how we fulfill our

desires. Those that have ‘good’,

strong, healthy, waxing, balanced and developed Moon’s have powerful

minds and naturally think and feel correctly.

Those without the benefit of good minds, feelings, intuition or

emotional stability literally undermine their desires and goals every

day.

Let’s take the example of the person with a weakened

Moon-mind situation. They worry, and obsess

all the time and wonder why enumerable problems come their way! This is because they’re literally creating

their lack of success because of their weakened, undeveloped or malefic

functioning Moon-feeling mind.

The moment that remedies for the Moon are begun, immediately the

Moon-mind can feel better and immediately every thought and desire that

rises in the mind will be greeted in a more happy, natural and effortless

manner. If we don’t improve the

Moon-mind, the very container of the mind, then everything we do, feel and

think about will be hampered by a frustrating lack of inner poise, grace

of silent presence of mind.

The very moment, however, when we make sure that we’re acting

with a better, more powerful, happy and steady Moon-mind, immediately all

our actions, desires and wishes will have the best chance of being

fulfilled.

How often have we worried about something in life, not realizing

that the worrying itself is one of the main reasons why that

‘thing’ is frustrating us! The

very moment that we throw our hands up in the air and get to bed, get some

rest, immediately everything is better!

 

The

Personality

Rising

Sign

 

After the Sun and Moon I find the Rising sign the 3rd

most important aspect of our human nature and component of how we

naturally fulfill our desires, or not! In the

Sun, we either believe in ourselves or we don’t. That deepest kind of healthiness or pessimism

literally sets the stage for hope or despair.

Those without a powerful, inner Sun, self-confidence are literally

doomed to fail. And, the most frustrating part

is there is so little clue as to why.

This is because the Sun is no-thing.

It’s not something that we can easily see, examine, and

figure out whether it is happy or not. The

Moon, the body, our actions, these are all things we can easily take

notice of and figure out whether they’re being positive or not. This is why the Sun plays such an important role in

life. In other chapters we’ll examine

the Philosophy of the Development of Consciousness which is really how the

Sun part of us can be spontaneously enlivened in life.

With the Moon, this part of us represents our minds. If our Sun’s represent our ego, I or

self-confidence states then our Moon’s represent our minds and how

we feel about things. In our charts the Sun

represents our soul lessons in life where our Moon’s represent where

our conscious minds are at and what we’re interested in.

 

Now, where we have our Rising Signs is

what our personalities are all about!

 

Whether we have an Aries, Taurus, Gemini or Cancer Rising Sign,

this too will either contribute to a natural, effortless fulfillment of

desire or not! Let’s take the example of

a Cancer rising person. Where Gemini’s

love doing many things at the same time, Cancer’s love to give. Cancer rising individuals or personalities love to

care, be compassionate, loving and giving.

However, if this personality, Rising sign characteristic is not

understood, or is accompanied by a malefic functioning Saturn which makes

the person strain and work too hard, then the spontaneous giving, caring

Cancer rising person may be undermining their success simply by being too

Cancerish!

How many individuals do we know who are real givers but they either

give too much or don’t give enough to themselves. This is often the big dilemma of Cancer nature and

when it’s in the personality we can literally undermine our

thoughts, desires and dreams by being out of balance with our Cancer

nature.

Therefore, understand your Rising Sign nature.

Be sure that you’re functioning in a healthy and balanced way

with that personality rising sign nature. As a

result you will be functioning naturally and spontaneous, effortless

fulfillment of desires will be yours!

In other chapters we’ll talk about how we might also have

planets in our Rising Sign or personality too and those will need to be

taken into account when considering whether we’re spontaneously

being healthy or unhealthy for ourselves!

 

The

Mercury

Intellect

Planet

Part of

Us

 

Now, let’s consider the importance of our Mercury intellect

in terms of naturally fulfilling our desires.

Those who have undeveloped, weak or complicated Mercury intellects

find themselves making the wrong decisions in life and frustrated as to

why!

When the Mercury-intellect itself is found acting correctly then

spontaneous, right, naturally healthy and positive thoughts and actions

are the results. We’re always using our

Mercury-intellects to choose the right forks in the road or deciding

between this or that in life. Right now, for

example, Mercury the planet representing ‘intellect’ has moved

into its Retrograde motion.

This means that it is laboring in a direction that puts it at odds

with the Earth. Retrograde motion,

itself means a planet is moving around the Sun, but appearing to be moving

backwards in relationship with the Earth. See

drawing #5 and 6 for examples of both the direct and retrograde Mercury

motions.

If we’re born under a retrograde Mercury motion, or going

through a transit of Mercury’s so-called backwards direction; quite

often we’ll find ourselves making the wrong decisions and not even

realizing it. Quite often, during Mercury

retrograde we make too hasty decisions and projects and endeavors are

poorly conceived or planned and unhappy consequences will be our

results!

We don’t intentionally plan to create wrong action in

life. It just happens naturally when any of

our different planets are found acting malefically!

The key to the natural and effortless fulfillment of all desires is

by living in a state of natural balance and development of all our

planets!

 

Those that naturally have more benefices in life are naturally

found in a more satisfying and happy existence.

We may resent or envy them because of their natural, more happy

fulfillment of life. However, once we realize

that we too can fulfill any and all of our desires; by putting attention

on strengthening and developing any of our malefic planets, then we will

not resent others and their success.

 

Venus

The Planet

of Love

&

Affection,

Appreciation

 

Of course, Venus love is a very important part of life as well as

important component in the natural fulfillment of desire. In fact, Venus is an important part of the whole

desire nature and mechanism. Depending upon

the health and development of our Venus’ we will either be

appreciating or loving in healthy and positive ways or not!

Those with weaker or undeveloped Venus’ also find themselves

undermining themselves or attracting the wrong kind of partnerships

because of their malefic functioning Venus’.

How often have people said: “Why

do I spontaneously attract such miserable partners?”

This is of course, due to the spontaneous thinking or functioning

of our Venus’. If our Venus is in Virgo

for example, a sign that’s a fairly unhappy one for Venus

we’ll find ourselves being overly critical in life or criticized by

others. This is because the old adage: “love knows no reason” is functioning

too strongly in us.

In other words, when Venus is in the incorrect sign of Virgo the

tendency is to see fault. When we

spontaneously criticize we literally degrade and de-appreciate ourselves

or others and as a result all manner of frustrations and the lack of

natural fulfillment of our desires, results.

The moment however, we begin to increase our positive Venus energy,

immediately everything seems more rosy and life-supported. The moment that we appreciate more, give more and

are, ourselves more loving then immediately the universe treats us in kind

and naturally everything goes more easily in terms of all of our

desires.

Venus of course, is a very important part of all desires because it

rules the heart and love, itself.

 

Mars

Fire

Aggression

Actions

for Achievement

 

If Venus represents how we appreciate and love then Mars represents

how we act and move towards the natural fulfillment of our desires. If Mars is weak, then we will not feel the internal

fortitude or strength to do what we have to do.

Part of the natural way we fulfill our desires is my acting and

achieving.

When Mars is strong the person spontaneously has the energy or

drive to go after their desires. If Mars is

weak, imbalanced or functioning negatively then all manner of obstacles

will be created by Mars which will mess up the whole process of

desires. This of course, is very frustrating

because Mars after all is naturally all about acting, doing and achieving

the fulfillment of our desires.

If we have our desires in our Moon mind’s and have good

Mercury clarity of mind and good affectionate Venus nature but not a good

Mars energy then our follow through will be ineffectual and all kinds of

frustrations will result.

Take the example of a person who is too Marish. Maybe Mars is in their 1st house,

4th, 7th or 12th and they’re

spontaneously doing or acting in too hot, angry or aggressive a

manner. And though good Mars dynamism is very

healthy for digging a ditch, too powerful of a Mars vibration literally

can burn up ourselves and any good relationships.

How often do we meet or know people who are just too pushy,

controlling, aggressive and even abusive, belligerent, angry or mean! The funny thing is they think they’re acting

correctly!

This is because all of our planetary actions and desires flow

naturally from the health or balance of all our planets. If any of our planets, including Mars are out of

balance then we’ll be spontaneously undermining ourselves and

sometimes not even know why.

In modern day Psychology this idea is called

‘sabotaging’. Where we’ve

picked up some bad habits or been abused or mistreated in life we develop

an inner stress or confusion and as a result find ourselves spontaneously

thinking, feeling or acting incorrectly.

Sometimes, someone is neglected or taken advantage in their youth

and then find themselves feeling unworthy (Sun) or emotionally

handicapped, (Moon).

In such cases the person’s desires and natural fulfillments

of desires gets all screwed up because of the deeply ingrained stress of

sabotaged realities.

It’s interesting to find that the exact ways in which we do

get all confused, mixed up or stressed out is in direct proportion to our

malefics! We only make ‘wrong’

choices and actions or get abused when any of our planets are not acting

correctly!

The moment, however, that we learn to balance, heal, transform, or

develop our malefics, into strengths; that will be the very moment that we

spontaneously create better, more life-supporting and happy fulfillment of

all of our desires!

 

Saturn

Balance

Health

Dis-ease

Disease

Death

 

Saturn is probably the most confused planet in the whole field of

astrology. This is because Saturn has the

unappreciated duty or responsibility of giving us the fulfillment of all

our so-called wrong actions. If we don’t

get enough rest at night and the next day feel miserable, tired or

listless; Saturn is the one that makes us feel awful!

If we get stressed in life, or out of balance, Saturn is the one

that makes us feel out of ease, dis-ease or even sick! If we ignore our health, or don’t pay

attention to our Saturn signs of dis-ease then dis-ease turns into

disease.

If however, we get enough rest, we listen to the Saturn signs of

imbalance growing fatigue or tiredness; then spontaneously we’ll be

more balanced and all manner of our lives will go forward naturally.

If however, we undermine our life or psychology/physiology in any

way then Saturn has the thankless role of giving us our bad karma.

And, anytime we suffer, feel frustrated, delayed, impatient, out of

sorts, complicated or unhappy these all are Saturn signs of Saturn

imbalance.

The very moment that we get more rest, develop our inner, silent

life more profoundly, immediately ‘all’ the negative signs of

Saturn, go away!

If desires come from deep within the Sun-Moon mind, and Mars picks

up our desires to act upon and fulfill; Saturn represents the background

of silence in which our desires easily get fulfilled or not!

In the Philosophy of Yoga the philosophy of fulfillment of desire

is explained this way. “There are 2

components of the desire process. There is the

desire itself and then there is the silence that leads to the natural

fulfillment of that desire.”

 

If we have a desire but no presence of mind then our desires will

be weak and frustrated and not fulfilled. How

often have we found ourselves looking for something, maybe our glasses,

and scurried about trying frantically to find them!

Then, finally, in an act of desperation, we throw up our hands and

say why God, only to look into the mirror and find them on the top of our

head!

 

Saturn is the key to fulfillment of desire because it represents

the very basis of fulfillment of desire.

 

Jupiter

Expansion

Planet of

All Progress

&

Prosperity

 

 

 

If Saturn is the planet of rest then Jupiter is the planet of

activity. We first take a step and then the

next foot can go forward. First we plant one

foot, then, the next foot expands forward.

That first step is a Saturn step. The

key to the future expansion and fulfillment of desire is that first Saturn

step. However, the next step, how well we

expand, our positivity and optimism; depends upon our Jupiter’s.

Jupiter represents how much faith, belief, or spirituality we have

in life.

 

As a result, we’re either optimistic, positive or

pessimistic. Those with very good

Jupiter’s have naturally uplifting and positive thoughts and

desires. Those without the benefit of a good

Jupiter don’t have good parents, teachers, mentors or Guru’s

in life. Those with good Jupiter’s feel

connected to all-mighty God and have good grace and natural support of

nature and effortless fulfillment of desires.

Jupiter is easily and naturally enlivened by the reading, practice

or implementation of any number of spiritual techniques or practices. Studying is a good Jupiter activity. Learning, listening, taking to heart the

suggestions, advice and recommendations of our teachers, parents, guides,

Guru’s and God is a healthy Jupiter increasing activity.

Of course, we need then to see if their advice was beneficial.

 

If it was then we need to re-examine our ways and correct what

might be at fault. If we open our hearts and

minds to the wisdom and knowledge of those that are more evolved,

intelligent and arrived in the places that we wish to be; then we will

find ourselves naturally progressing in life!

 

Jupiter is the planet that represents how easily and naturally we

progress and expand in life!

 

Rahu/Ketu

Pure

Desires

Themselves

 

If the Soul Sun is the basis of our desires, dreams and

aspirations, and the Moon is the container of mind that thinks and feels

our desires, and our Mercury’s, Venus’ and Mars are the

aspects of ourselves that manifest our desires; then, the Rahu/Ketu part

of us represents the clear purity of our desires themselves.

Where Rahu/Ketu is in our charts, for example, represents how we

have our desires. If Rahu/Ketu is balanced and

happy then we have desires and they come naturally and effortlessly.

If however, our Rahu/Ketu is out of balance, or unhealthy then our

desires come in the form of obsessions, compulsions and addictions.

Where our desire nature has been indulged in too much then desires

assume a leadership role and can control us, manipulate and pull us off

ourselves.

When our desires rule, then all manners of unhappiness result!

 

How many people in life are a slave to their desires! Whether engaging in too much activity, work,

chasing our desires, tails or too much sex! our desires are either helping

us or not!

It’s very easy to examine whether our desires are ruling or

serving us!

 

All we need to do is look inside and we will see whether

we’re being lead around like a bull with a ring in our nose! or are we the leader, ruler of our desires?

 

The key is in our control. Do we have

control or do our desires rule us! Fascinating

really, when you consider that we are the one that created our

desires! We stirred them up. Unfortunately, today, desires are so often

recommended to be dwelled in, instead of used for the natural fulfillment

of desire.

 

On the other hand you’ll hear sometimes, spiritual groups

talking about getting to a place of no-desire, desire less ness. The state of fulfillment itself is a place of no

desires, they say!

 

The whole philosophy of renunciation and giving up of desires is

for, supposedly arriving at that state of fulfillment!

 

However, for no moment can we stop our desires! We can pause, we can transcend, we can even rest,

but the very moment that we’ve rested; boom, we’re off again

pursuing our desires, dreams and goals.

 

The key to life lies not in suppressing our desires but in the

natural fulfillment of our desires!

 

The entire human nervous system is a desire fulfilling machine!

 

Every aspect of our astrological nature is a tool for the natural

fulfillment of desire! Unhealthy, imbalanced

planets do not lead to fulfillment and instead undermine and sabotage our

attempts at fulfillment.

 

The moment that we act, think, feel and create in a balance,

holistic and healthy way; them immediately nature tells us we’re

moving in the right direction!

 

The signs of right action are 1) greater clarity of mind, 2)

greater balance and ease, 3) effortless inner happiness, and 4) natural

support of nature.

 

The moment that we get off the self, imbalanced, tired or stressed;

immediately our natural fulfillment of desire, stops!

 

Why? Because nature is trying to help

us!

 

Nature every moment is telling us we’re either moving in the

right or wrong direction. The happy,

successful, pleasant, positive and life-supporting experiences in life are

nature telling us we’re doing well!

 

Every moment when we feel bad, worried, uncertain, unclear,

negative, stressed or uncertain, are all nature’s negative signs of

malefic misdirection! The very moment that we

create clarity of mind, and get more Saturn rest; immediately all the

negative, malefic signs, disappear!

 

Let your desires lead you to greater attunement, balance and

development of all your planets and you will find yourself progressing

quite easily and naturally in life.

 

Life is for progress and fulfillment!

 

 

All that’s been lacking so far is the intelligence to

understand how this universe and our nervous systems work and then,

spontaneous, effortless, rapid progress in life will result!

 

Now, let’s look at some of our research subjects to see how

their desires, frustrations and effortless fulfillment’s depends on

the happy or unhappy functioning of their planets.
