Going by Indian philosophic perception, the primordial source – the essence and effective cause for all aspects of the dynamic world — by itself, is supposedly formless and at rest, with no manifest attributes. Nothing but an energy formation could be formless. Certainly, it would not be content-less either, otherwise, it would not have manifested into a dynamic world having existences with form and name. And the constituents must have been in equilibrated state counter-balancing each other, for the primordial source to remain in its primal form. This got unsettled following Pranava – spontaneous pulsation – when the primal-sound ‘Om’ got excited, out of which emerged the energy trinity – Sat, Rajasa, and Tamasa, each prominently marked with a particular attribute.
These modes of energies, obviously, emerged with their respective voids, seen in respect to their primal form, when they, in their equilibrated state, enjoyed their wholesome form. And they, being self-intelligent, got prompted to regain their wholesome form, which put them into random mutation. The progressive evolution that followed culminated in the manifest plural world.
To sum up, the imperfection caused at the primordial source, is what led to the creation of the manifest world. No wonder, we too, are born imperfect, as the cause has to find its imprint in the manifestation. And for this very reason, we carry the inherent urge to evolve further and gain perfection. It is pertinent to note here till the emergence of human beings, the evolution process went ahead involuntarily. For, the field players strictly followed the divine design underlying their dynamism, as they did not enjoy any scope to make a choice. The humans, on the contrary, can carry on the evolution process through conscious efforts only. For, they are empowered to exercise their choice.
Those who consciously work upon their imperfections, they evolve spiritually, intellectually and otherwise. And that, in turn, empowers them better even in their usual creative pursuits. The process, however, is not easy. For, they have to contend with challenges coming in the way, and but for which, one would not become aware of realities of life so as to move beyond their limitations. Evidently, those who take on their challenges in a positive spirit are able to prove their mettle in the fields they engage themselves. The majority, however, do not take on the challenges ahead kindly, and so, they invite stress and end up left behind in the run of life.
A case in point is that of someone, whose chart very clearly points to a life full of struggles, as would the Sun, though exalted, but locked in adverse formation to its planet of limitation Saturn imply. The Sun is not well aligned to Moon and Jupiter, which implies that the person was due for serious emotional crisis and dilemma. Also, being driven by a strong value system the person would excite ego of people in high position to invite their wrath, and more so, because, Mars, and its dire enemy, Saturn share the same sign.
looking at the alignment of the Sun and Saturn, it comes out that the person would be subject to series of crisis till late forties, and so it happened. Nevertheless, the person’s growth story still continued. HowIJ
The reason, plain and simple, was that the person drew lessons out of all challenges, kept the efforts on to improve performing-self, and dwelt more on the positives. Consequently, the person and mindfully turned all negatives into positive. Fortunately, the positives too, were no less. Exalted Sun in the 6th house identified with success in efforts and over the adversaries, well aligned to Mars, and incidentally the lagna as well as 6th lord, made the person a born fighter. Exalted Jupiter in the 9th house marked with higher mind, conjunct the sign lord Moon, even otherwise natural mind-signifying planet, pointed to a fertile mind with vision, foresight, imagination, strong value-system, a large heart, and positive mindset.
The lagna as well as 10th sub-lord Venus in the 5th house, occupies the lunar constellation of spiritually ordained Ketu in the 2nd house, and that too, well aligned to psychic Neptune as well as intellectually ordained Uranus. That brought in creative abilities of a very high order. And to top it all was strong seed of spirituality ingrained within, as would strong connect of the lagna, 5th and 9th house imply.
What comes out of the above story is that should you conduct mindfully, one could overcome all hurdles coming in the way and emerge the victor.
