Guest guest Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 See, Subscriber’s Comments Below for yesterday! Transits for Today! For… Thursday October 9th, 2008 Highlights Of Transits! Moon Moved into Capricorn, yesterday Moon – Very Close to Rahu & Aspected by Mars in Libra, today! (Closest Planetary War w/Rahu) today! Mercury’s Still Retrograde & Combust again today! (Though now Mercury 5 degrees away from Sun) Though, Mercury’s still Exalted in Virgo, too. Venus in Libra, still & Venus still being fully aspected by Saturn, Also! (Venus still only 2 degrees away from Saturn’s influence) Jupiter still in its Own Sign of Sagittarius, and Finally, Rahu's fully aspecting the Sun today! Subscriber’s Comments and Experiences: From Terry Mid-western US “Mark, I felt very rough today, (yesterday 10/8) I mean I got a lot done but inside felt very uneasy and troubled. Is this due to the Rahu influence you’ve been telling us about?” “Terry: Absolutely! When we can predict time after time the turning of nature’s clock and its predictable effects upon us; then, we can feel confident that these are the real reasons why we’re feeling the way that we do. In the case of Moon feeling uneasy or rough due to both Rahu and Mars’ simultaneous influences, then know that there are things we can do to minimize and even eliminate the negatives!” I went on to suggest that she spend more time in meditation, Which Terry’s very familiar with. I suggested her allowing Herself more time to create or enliven more inherent bliss Of the Moon mind, until she counters Rahu’s negative influence. Later in the day I talked to her again and she said the way she Accomplished this, was by enlivening her sense of inner silence, And that had a very powerful influence upon her roughness! REMEMBER: Rahu represents how we handle our desires. So, if we experience Any of the negative sides of Rahu this means we’re slightly out of tune with Rahu’s positive nature. Rahu’s positive nature is to be silent amidst desiring. So, if we’re under the grip of Rahu’s negative side, ‘roughness, obsessions, compulsions and addictions; then, know that you’re under Rahu’s negative grip, and nothing good comes from that! Why is Rahu more negative then positive, you might ask? Because too many people in the world today are not in-tune Enough with their inner silence so desires tend to be obsessive, Or rule us! Vs. us being in control of them! Who’s the real master? That’s a Rahu question we can ask ourselves! Yesterday and today are two great days to figure this out about yourself and Rahu! Now, the Details: Moon’s at the 15th degree of Capricorn Today 10/9/08 5am, How did you feel yesterday, (10/8) ? Moon’s now much closer to Rahu’s exact 22nd degree in Capricorn. If you felt the roughness of Moon moving into Capricorn, yesterday Then today might be rough too. I talked to several people yesterday who had rough days and gave them so remedies as to what to do to try and eliminate that roughness due to Rahu’s close affect upon the Moon emotions. (See r’s experiences and comments below) IE. The deeper we go inside the more all the outer influences will influence Us less and less! Mercury Mercury’s still in Retrograde motion; which means PAY SPECIAL ATTENTION, TO All Decision Makings….! This is especially important because also Mercury & the Sun are completely combust at the same time! Tomorrow, October 9th, Mercury will be at the 17th degree of Virgo, while Sun’s at the 22nd degree, also in Virgo… In other words, Mercury’s combustion is still going on! (THOUGH NOW, 5 DEGREES APART, means less of a feeling of heat or combustion between Mercury and the Sun.) Typical, negative results are that the intellect doesn’t work right now or is sluggish, to say the least. So, if you have frustrations with your mind, thinking, and especially decision makings then this is probably why. Sun continues going ahead and Mercury lessening in degrees over the next few days due to its Retrograde motion so this will quickly subside too! Though if you don’t feel Mercury’s combustion sometimes this is because Mercury is least affected by combustion, Since Mercury is always so close to the Sun. PRESCRIPTION: Rest your wonderful intellect. Be easy, let it rest. Don’t worry about using it so much. The only problems we’ll tend to have if we’re in work situations which demand the same kind of normal Mercurical functionings and its not as brilliant now. Fortunately, Mercury’s still EXALTED in Virgo So that’ll help a lot! Venus has now moved to the 24th degree of Libra, On October 9th…So….. Which normally would be extremely great! However, be warned, today Saturn is still at the 22nd degree of Leo right now, So, Venus is still fairly close to the exact degree of Saturn’s 3rd HOUSE ASPECT…. If you’re experiencing any delays, disappointments and frustrations now, regarding literally ANYTHING, To do with the Venus heart! Then, this is why! Mars Mars is now at the 9th degree of Libra, which is such a more pleasant transit then when it was in Virgo. But, today, 10/9 you could feel the Moon being affected by Mars’ 4th house aspect. (Upon the 9th degree of Capricorn) Perhaps this is because Rahu’s also in Capricorn. So, beware of feeling too pitta or fiery during today, October 9th as well. Moon’s being at the 15th degree still makes it susceptible to Mars’ influence as well as Rahu! SATURN This may be a good time to reflect on Saturn again. There are two ways to interpret Saturn’s many astrological moments or aspects. #1 most of the time people think Saturn represents a curse, a kind of negative event in the universe that has the specific characteristics of: Delays Frustrations Disappointments, Dis-ease, Even disease! Loss, Grief, Separation, And On and on! But, the better more enlightened, insightful way of understanding Saturn’s effects is in terms of PURITY! Saturn is the living embodiment of Silence! As it moves about the Cosmos, if we’re in-tune with it, then we feel the momentary Saturn moments of quietness, stillness, silent grace and even the possibility of presence of God! But, if we’re not presently in-tune with Saturn, then, something of a purifying nature results! If we’ve been working too hard, and then, one night finally get more rest, we spend the whole night tossing and turning! How unfair is that, we think! The one night I try and catch up, I end up NOT sleeping! However, what is really going on is the body is purifying! It’s under a lot of backlog of stress and fatigue and is spending this precious relaxation time, throwing off as much stress as it can! This is of a real, physical phenomena, and because the mind and body are connected, as the body unstresses the stresses, the mind as intense dreams, Even nightmares are due to the positive Saturn release of stress! Next time you find yourself under the typically negative grip of Saturn; Remember this and adjust, allowing this time to go on. And, don’t feel so bad if the smoke is flying. We clean house and for a few moments the dust is all up in the air! It almost seems like the house is more dirty! However, the dust is on the way out, and as the ‘dust’ flys, we should feel good! Like that, Saturn moments seem like dust flying, around our life. Instead of feeling any pinches with the heart, disappointment, imaginings bad things; Allow, yourself to BE with Saturn in terms of your heart today! and tomorrow! Rahu Finally, Rahu’s at the 22nd degree of Capricorn still today Oct. 9th. Moon moved into Capricorn yesterday, 10/8 so now today 10/9th Moon being only 7 degrees away from Rahu’s direct degrees means it’s influence WILL BE THE MOST INTENSE TODAY! If intense desires, obsessions, addictions OR ROUGHNESS pops up, recognize this is due to Rahu’s negative aspect; And let them go.. And Remedy is to be more silent along with your desires! And finally, Rahu's casting a direct influence upon the Sun today! Actually, Rahu, from it's 9th house aspecthas been aspecting the Sun the whole timeit moved into Virgo.Count Rahu being in Capricorn as #1, then 9 houses away means, Aquarius, 2, Pisces, 3, Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, 7, Leo 8 and Virgo 9th houses away! And, because Sun today is at the same exact degree (22nd) as Rahu's also the 22nd degree, though in Capricorn, you may feel this Sun roughness as well! Again, remedy is if feeling Rahu roughness upon your Sun ego, I or self; the remedy is to do a little bit more inner work, meditating, especially, until the bliss of the Sun remains undisturbed from Rahu! Sincerely, Mark Kincaid Article on rest and activity and Saturn! REST & ACTIVITY! I think the greatest thing I've learned from yoga and meditation Was this idea of rest and activity! Every moment of every day involves one or other of these two cycles. Right now I’m typing. What we miss when we’re doing, is that between each action, the body Still needs to rest. Those that have to push too fast or too hard, Pick up a lot of strain or stress. Carpal tunneling, is an example where repetitive motion is so Fast and furious, That not enough time was had for resting; And this extreme, debilitating dis-ease, Results! Those who are moving but having accidents are not taking the time For resting, between motions of activity. Timings also have an element of rest and activity. How often have we gone ahead with some project or work related Endeavor, Only to experience a lot of frustrations. Either we can’t get hold of the right people, or they’re not getting Back to us soon enough, or we're not experiencing what we call NATURE'S SUPPORT! WHY? Because of a lack of balance between our rest and activity! SATURN! If we understand the role of rest and activity; then, when we find ourselves deep within the ‘REST’ Saturn phase of any event, We’ll be able to truly just BE! And, being able to enjoy the rest phases of life, means that Saturn Is deeply re-enlivened and appreciated. SATURN, HIMSELF, IS A REST PHASE! So often, when either a Saturn transit or Dasa time period happens, we have a very difficult time with these. Ever wonder why? Because we’re not in-tune enough with Saturn, and as a result, Saturn Causes in us some purification! Saturn, himself, is the embodiment of moving Silence. He moves ever so slowly. He feels like a boulder or a vortex of silence. How we’re experiencing Saturn is nature’s way of showing us how in-tune we are with our silent, peaceful, inward, Saturn nature! If we’ve been pushing or working too hard, then Saturn periods find That backlog of fatigue and stress and then trys to push it out! We’ll feel a lot of inner commotion sometimes especially when Moon and Saturn are colliding! We'll sometimes notice that we have a very rough and intense amount of negative dreams at night! Ever wonder why this is? Most people think that this is because Saturn is bad! Or evil! Or malefic! Really, Saturn is extremely pure! Saturn in fact, has a very bad rap! If Jupiter is the right hand of God, Reaching down and through Grace, picking us up; Then Saturn is the left hand of God, Slapping us whenever we need it! Think of it! We stay up too late, and violating the laws of nature; Wake up exhausted and fatigued! Why do we feel this way? Who is the agent of our fatigue and stress grief? SATURN! Saturn has the thankless task of delivering us all our so-called ‘BAD’ karmas! We stay up too late! We feel tired and not refreshed! We push too hard on a project at work, And feel deeply exhausted and burnt out. We feel some sickness coming on, And we ignore those signs from nature, and fall sick! Who’s the ONE that’s bringing us all these ‘out of balance’ calamaties? Of course, SATURN! No wonder we hate him! No wonder we reduce him to a status of an evil doer! No wonder we misunderstand him! But, there are two instances that begin to change our mind. #1 we can find, in those people’s charts where Saturn is supposedly benefic; that the results of Saturn are also benefic! What does this mean? It means that Saturn is in direct proportion to how much inner balance, And inner peace we have. If we're born with it, or especially 'develop' it, then Saturn can be positive! If we develop our inner resources, and strengthen our silent, Quiet part of us; Then automatically…. Saturn’s silence begins to grow! And as Saturn improves, then ALL the negative consequences of Saturn begin to recede! As it turns out Saturn is about the same size of Jupiter. But, ‘HE’ has the thankless task of bringing us all our worst nightmares! Why? Why, does HE do it? In fact, HE doesn't. We do! So, then we should ask who does? We create them! But, why? Why would we do such a thing? Because of our ignorance, because of a lack of clarity, because of a lack of education, or because we're just innocently not taking enough regular rest! Whatever the reason, Saturn will give us, in direct proportion to our actions; The results of our rest and activity! If we engage in a healthy way in both these cycles; then Saturn is appeased! And balance and peacefulness results! If we don’t then, grief and suffering will be ours! The cool thing too, is that Saturn, HIMSELF doesn’t even really Cause these things! It’s US, our actions and choices that determine our consequences. Saturn is just the innocent harbinger of dis-ease, disease and death! I call it the 3-D’s of Saturn! He just brings to us the results of our previous actions! But, at every moment, nature is happy if we choose a different path! If right now, we can resolve to be better, to give more regular rest to our bodies, hearts and minds; Then, IMMEEDIATELY, Saturn’s consequences will be better! Try it! Next time you find yourself in a negative Saturn moment; Resolve that next time you’ll be better! That’s why I love these Saturn transiting moments. Happens about 4 times a month. Moon & Saturn in the same Sign. Moon 3 Houses away from Saturn. Moon 7 Houses away from Saturn. Moon 10 Houses away from Saturn. All these aspects of Saturn upon the Moon, are the classic; MONTHLY Saturn moments! Watch these over this next month to determine how in-tune you are RIGHT NOW, With your Saturn! Then, if you don’t like the negative results that come during these times; Then, RESOLVE, To be more in-tune with Saturn; for next month! This sounds like a great project! Let’s do it! ANYONE WHO WISHES TO STRENGTHEN THEIR SATURN’S OVER THE NEXT 4-8 WEEKS; LET’S START TODAY! Sincerely, Mark Kincaid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
