The other day someone approached me with a volley of questions: “What is there in my destiny that I had to go through a great ordeal during the last couple of years, particularly when I have tried to conduct truthfullyIJ I have not been able to get rid of the past baggage, and which keeps unnerving me. Why is it that whatever I do, success does not come easy, whereas those around are able to make it fasterIJ Is there something in the store of my future, which offers hopeIJ”
Well, everybody in this world is born unique, mind-frame of each varying from others. Even twins born of the same parents and brought up under similar environment, reflect varying mind-traits. Accordingly, everybody negotiates life in one’s exclusive ways. Evidently, the fruits of action would also vary, both qualitatively as also in terms of time scale involved. Therefore, there remains no scope for comparing oneself with others.
Now coming to the question of success eluding you despite conducting right, let me make it clear that it is your own perception based on self-defined parameters. There remains scope for judgmental error, and so can’t be accepted in absolute terms. Bear in mind, there remains a thin dividing line between truth and untruth. In fact, more often they may look similar. Pour milk almost in equal measure in two tumblers. Add little water in one of them, and then ask a stranger, which of the two is adulterated. To him, both will appear similar. Serve the adulterated milk to a goose. It will consume the milk, leaving aside water. One needs to acquire similar level of intelligence, which is not expected from an ordinary mortal and that too at a young age, to figure out the thin dividing line differentiating truth from untruth.
To find right answer, better look within. When you turn your attention inwards, you may become aware of your unique nature, potentials and vulnerabilities both included. You may then understand what marginalises your potential, as well as your quality of effort. That calls for acknowledging and the addressing of one’s inherent limitations right earnest. You, thus, pave the way for your potentials play its part unhindered, whereafter, given the right efforts, success may not elude you for long. Also, the ground becomes ready to further sharpen your intelligence. Often, one’s sense of ego does not let one acknowledge one’s weaknesses that easily. Here, astrology may prove handy as a potent diagnostic tool. For, astrological chart happens to be the energy mapping of a being. And energy knows no bias.
let us look at the astrological pointers in the person’s chart. First comes into reckoning the Sagittarius lagna, which is indicative of being tactless and undiplomatic in approach. This, when read together with Mars in the second house, locking horns with the Sun, points to being vulnerable to impulsive and indiscreet statements. That may distance you from all who matter. Though, in your perception you may be speaking the truth but not necessarily so from others perspective. And certainly badly phrased and ill-timed, which may unnecessarily rattle others.
The Sun is conjunct its planet of limitation Saturn. In terms of time frame, this person would have witnessed some unpleasant happening close to seven years by age. The fact that given his age, he could not digest the incident, it instilled a seed of fear and insecurity in his psyche, which given a small trigger, immediately overtakes mind’s drive. That has dented his confidence level badly. All these in turn, bred in a sense of inertia, which makes him susceptible to delayed initiative. For the above reasons, the person carries a negative mindset, whereby he may fail to put in his whole towards the targeted destination and with obvious consequences. Also, he remains vulnerable to fall into intermittent bouts of depression, particularly when put to a difficult situation.
What further adds fuel to the fire is his Moon, placed adverse to Venus, Jupiter, and Uranus. This, in the first is indicative of volatile emotionality which makes him too much touchy, who may get over exercised even on trivial issues. Following which, his anger erupts when he loses sense of direction and control.
Otherwise, the person is highly intelligent, has clarity in vision and thought, and is armed with excellent communicative skill. For, wisdom oriented Jupiter extends benevolent support to intelligence signifying Mercury. Venus well aligned to Neptune makes him a very creative person. Should he make necessary correction, the best in him will come out.
