Sense of freedom is ingrained in our social construct, which often tempts us to live on our own exclusive terms. So, left to themselves, children will prefer playing continuously, and would not take kindly to any restrictions imposed on their free run. They will prefer home comfort to being sent to school. The youths will wish to grab whatever they would be allured to. Caught in their wishful thinking, they may forget that if they have the right to chase their fancies, the other side too qualifies to deny the former’s advances on the same ground. The elders would wish unquestioned compliance of their whips while the youngsters would resist any encroachment in their independence. If freedom is applied in this spirit, there has to be disorder and chaos all around.
life, however, has to still keep marching ahead, despite all existential constraints. And it ought move in a way that supports fulfillment of individual aspirational urges, and also take care of collective existential concerns. What then is the way forwardIJ A look into the ground on which our life is rooted, becomes imperative. For, the sense of freedom could prove meaningful only when applied in conformity with the design parameters underlying our existence. And what does that call forIJ
All empirical evidences suggest that we are all born as a part of a large existence, which is framed as a unitary organism, where no individual holds a reality independent of the totality. But all put together make a self-sufficient world.
Now coming down to an individual plane, we are all born incomplete, both in terms of constitutional frame as well as our logistic concerns. That, in the first place, calls for relating to one’s corresponding opposite, so as to meet each other’s constitutional void, and help each other to progressively evolve. Also, complement and supplement each other’s efforts and together take care of existential needs. This is the premise on which a man-woman relationship stands.
By and large, women are born emotion-driven, while men are supposed to be head-driven. In togetherness, they could enjoy the best of both head and heart. Also, the two acquire each other’s virtues, and rise above one’s individual limitations. The man and woman are also born with a void in their individual energy-construct. And, in togetherness, they strengthen each other’s energy structure. They, thus, help each other evolve holistically.
But here again, the ones oblivious to subtle realities of life as explained above, would not care for the laws of nature. They remain stuck to the callings of their preconditioned minds. Such characters are often left behind in the run of time difficult to cover up later. In one such case, a lady who is already in late thirties has been denying marriage on one pretext or the other. She begins throwing tantrums whenever the parents try to counsel her. Her parents therefore, came asking whether she is promised of marriage, and if so, why she has been behaving so.
Going by astrological parameters, her marriage is very much promised. But, her attitudes, as are reflected by her astrological pointers, have been playing the spoil-sport. The sun is placed adverse to both neptune and jupiter. This makes her stuck to self-delusions and fanciful dreams out of touch with ground realities. She may habitually and mindlessly prefer to escape the truths of life. She also has a swaggering ego, which reads together with her virgo lagna brings in a sense of “I am the only right person syndrome.” That restricts the scope of her vision to her self-defined dos and don’ts not open to explore truths lying beyond. It becomes difficult for her to digest any advice or counsel at variance with her perceptions. The moon placed opposite jupiter makes her emotionally too much sensitive, whereby she takes even trivial issues to heart, and then stretches them beyond due. Mars placed opposite uranus makes her temperamental, irritable, hypercritical, self-willed, irritable, tactless, and at times even irrational. Jupiter locked in adverse formation to neptune brings in a sense of peculiar self-defined beliefs that further distances her from the truths of life.
