A mother not able to find answer to why his son exhibits conflicting trends in two departments of his life came asking: “Why the divine, being so kind to my son in terms of his business, has been cold towards his marriageIJ” She had reasons to believe this as her son was already in his late 40s and had not yet been able to find a suitable match.
“Well, your son seems to be very clear in head about his business aspirations. So, he put in his best to earn a fortune within a short spell of time. But so far as his marital choice is concerned, his vision seems to be clouded; this is what deludes him from making up his mind.” I explained. The lady, not satisfied with my answer, confronted me with another question: “If my son is intelligent enough to conduct so well in business, it should equally work in other areas of his life as well,” she askedIJ
To make things further clear, I had to explain the way human mind was designed to function. Be it known that by birth, every individual comes to life with individual-specific inherent beliefs, thanks to karmic carryover from the previous birth. The character and contents of these inlaid beliefs set the terms of mind’s approach towards different departments of life. Usually every being comes with a mixed baggage — some of them beautifully framed so as to prove rewarding, and many ill-defined ones that may invite worries. It is pertinent to note that intelligence is just one of the faculties of mind which does not work on its own. It will work the way it is directed towards different departments of life, as defined by the related beliefs. Naturally, if the belief pertaining to business aspirations is framed perfect, it will prove rewarding, which applies in the son’s case. If, however, any belief would be out of sync with reality, which also seems true about the son’s marital callings, it will cause worries.
let us look at the astrological parameters of the man to figure out his mental propensities. He is born in Capricorn lagna, an earthy sign. His other two earthy signs are heavily loaded with five major planets. That makes him a materially-driven person. Venus, the 10th lord identified with career aspirations, is placed in the ninth house implying variable income to mean business. Venus in debility, placed adverse to expansive Jupiter, points to his unquenched thirst for money. Fiery Mars, the nakshatra lord of Venus, both placed in close conjunction, not only provides him with the drive necessary to pursue his ambitions in right earnest, but also promises him all the success in his enterprise. For, Mars happens to be the 11th lord identified with fulfilment of desires. He is also armed with the skills necessary to successfully pursue his business. The first pointer in this respect is karmakarak Saturn, incidentally the lagna lord, which extends its beneficial support to Mars, Venus and Mercury. That, grants him with strong leadership abilities with all the endurance power, persistence, perseverance and patience. It also points to an orderly mind, and thorough at work with eye on every minor detail. Further, wisdom-signifying Jupiter’s benevolent support to intelligence-signifying Mercury brings in clarity in vision and thought, especially in areas he would focus. No wonder, he has done well in business.
The man has been so passionate about his material cravings that his marital concern has become a casualty. Even his vision about marriage seems flawed. Moon, the seventh lord identified with marriage, which incidentally also happens to be nakshatra lord of Mars, the sub-lord of seventh cusp, is posited in the love-signifying fifth house. That makes him due for marriage of his choice. And even more so, because the Sun placed adverse to Uranus as well as Rahu will not allow him to follow the traditional route of arranged marriage. Moon placed opposite mischievous Neptune plays a real devil in terms of his marital choice. For, it points to having a suspicious mind. Also, he would be stuck to his self-defined parameters outlying his prospective partner, and not prepared to make even the least of exception. Stuck to his self-delusions, he forgets that nobody could be ever born a perfect, not even he himself. And the result is there for all to see. Unless the man self-reflects and makes necessary amends in terms of his preconditioning of mind, it will be difficult for him to make up his mind.
