This was a very " spiritual " period. Every opportunity I had I choose to be

isolated to read the scriptures and the writings of the great Goswamis,

Acharyas and the popular Siddhas/Saints. It was very good spiritually but

very immature emotionally for obvious astrological reasons. I974/75 is when

it all started for me and became so obsessed with spirituality that nothing

else could touch my yearning. Just wanted to be a Sanyassi. Then when I met

my true Guru in 1983 and he told me I would eventually get married and settle

down in the suburbs I wasn't able to hear it at that time. I just wanted to

go to Vrindaban and Barsana with Him and forget the so called world. He said

I had to get married for such were my samscaras.

 

Its a perfect case where a pravrajya yoga doesn't fully fructify... probably

a fallen Sanyasi from a past life. Do you believe in such combination? I do.

Sanjay also tells us that Moon/Saturn conjunction in 10th does not make a

Sanyasi. He also includes other angular houses.

Yes, it was in this period that I began to have pain in the heart region and

because the pains were wandering and changing, flying in different

directions, it indicated a Vata imbalance in that organ. One can have a Pitta

constitution but have a local Vata imbalance (in a specific organ) as I did.

It started in 1976.

 

My Guru would often say, " there is nothing wrong with your heart. You can go

to the doctor if you wish but he will not be able to help you. " Sure enough,

that's how it turned out.

 

> How did you diagnose stones?

 

I didn't rely on astrology alone although I gave me a good hunch. Saturn

represents stones and from my experience, so does Rahu. Jupiter, lord of 5th,

is also in Saturn's sign, etc. But it really came from my knowledge of

Ayurveda and pulse. Pitta is regarded to be the cause of gallstones,

especially Ranjaka Pitta. Because I was having pain in that region, it made

sense to me.

 

> Virgo can show not only liver as I said, but it can show gall bladder also.

 

Yes, it rules that region of the body. I see Virgo as Vata Kapha.

The problem is that there are so many factors in a chart that rule liver

function but they do not represent the same function of that organ. We can

have excess V or excess P or excess K in the liver, each one producing

different symptoms and different digestive disturbances, etc. This is where

Ayurveda can be really helpful to us. We should be able to see local

disturbance in an organ in terms of VPK (from planets in the chart) as well

as the constitutional nature of the person. The two can be entirely different.

 

For instance, there are Ayurvedic herbs for excess Pitta in the liver, excess

V in the liver and for excess K. Sometimes the local disturbance matches the

constitutional picture, say excess Pitta all round. Then we have the herbs

for the liver matching the constitutional state. We ought to be able to see

this in our astrology.
