Picking up threads from the previous issue, it comes out that even mean minded people could turn positive, if one consciously takes recourse to spirituality. A question which obviously follows: “Planetary alignment in a horoscope presents a picture of how life would unfold in emerging times. Then how come taking recourse to spirituality, life undergoes a paradigm shiftIJ For, even then, the planetary alignment would remain the same. Does it mean the planets are somehow appeased to seek their favourIJ”
Nothing as such happens. let me make it clear that planets do not define our destiny. But planetary alignment in an astrological chart does present a picture of the karmic imprints we carry over from the past, which sets the premise on which our life takes off. Seeded in our karmic imprints is the blueprint of how the future course of life is likely to unfold. It is something like a preset programme of life, which holds the key to our inherent beliefs, desire-trends, and thereby thoughts currents driving our mind. As the programme unfolds, our life keeps moving accordingly. Should we blindly flow by the thought currents excited by our karmic imprints, life will continue to move as predefined. If however, we watch our thought-trends, make amends, and change our very approach to life, life will accordingly take a new turn. And so it happened to the case discussed in the previous issue.
Now coming down to planetary implications, let me make it clear, they neither define nor drive our course of destiny. They are just markers of a particular energy stream with one or the other planet in focus, each exhibiting a particular characteristic trend. These planetary bodies follow a predefined nature driven path, which they traverse at their respective speed, with no scope to digress even the least. And they are available in equal proportions to all of us. Since their future progression can be calculated, based on that, how they are likely to trigger our Karmic imprints can be figured out with a fair amount of precision. Here again, as they lack the discriminatory faculty, they cannot respond to individual call. So, there remains no scope to appease them.
Again, energy does not have a drive of its own. The way we drive it is how it is going to act. It is something like electrical energy, which puts into action an air-conditioner which cools down the atmosphere, and also a heater which warms up. So, the same energy empowers different platforms perform their respective ways.
In case of human beings, the karmic imprints one carries, serves as the individual-specific platform on which a persons life is premised, which varies from person-to-person. And as they are framed is how they act upon when triggered by varying energy dynamics of the planets in motion. So, when we change our thought process, following spirituality, would mean giving a turn to the very platform on which our life is premised. Accordingly planetary implications too would undergo change.
Here is another case study to showcase how life changes through conscious efforts, particularly when one takes recourse to spirituality. let us look at his astrological pointers. Born in Cancer lagna with headless Ketu therein, speaks of a well meaning but a comfort loving person marked for his unpredictable mood swings. Saturn crossing path with lagna lord Moon, points to a negative mindset, carrying an inbuilt sense of fear and insecurity. Also, he is suspicious, grudging and grumbling type. He is not easily amenable to change.
The Sun is locked in adverse formation to Neptune, Jupiter, and Venus. In the first place, it speaks of a person stuck to self-delusions, distanced from ground realities. He may not acknowledge truth on its first appearance, and rather try to somehow escape. Second, it speaks of his swaggering ego, stuck to his own self-belief, and would not take kindly to anything happening to the contrary. Third, he is too sensitive, and may get over-exercised even on trivial issues, and stretch it beyond due.
Caught up in his thought-trends, he didn't realise that he had extraordinary inlaid talent, coming as it may with the Moon very well disposed off to intellectually ordained Uranus. When this man worked upon his limitations, he realised that the fundamentals of homeopathy that he learned serving his father, a great homeopath, was his basic forte. When encouraged, he reluctantly began practising it. Today, not simply he is able to make a living, lot of chronic patents have been relieved of their agony.
