THE wrongs of animal rights activists

Mind serves as a neutral platform, providing ground for the thoughts to play upon their inherent nature, good or bad, unhindered with relative bearing on the actions to follow. These inflowing thoughts, according as their character and content, define and drive functional mandate of a being, and the effects thereto. But mind again, is a very complex organism, also armed with discriminative and self-regulatory functions. It involuntarily evaluates the character of thoughts played upon, against the inlaid ideal, hidden though but imprinted in mind, on which life is premised.

So, ever a person gets into an act, which would be at variance with accepted ideal — societal value system in applied terms — unconsciously a sense of guilt crops up. That, in turn, spreads its hang on all other thoughts, related or unrelated, flowing through the mind.  In fact, it vitiates the overall thought process. As a consequence, the overall behavioural pattern undergoes noticeable change, giving the impression as if there is something amiss. The discretionary faculty takes a back seat whereby one often looses sense of direction. That makes one vulnerable to begin acting un-mindfully and naturally to one’s detriment. Thereafter, they overreact to trivial issues, become jittery, irritable, temperamental, and moody, especially in terms of inter-personal relationship. In fact, they lose sense of what they should expect from life. Acting unmindfully, they invite stress, and if not attended in time, they may get into unintelligent acts that disturb environmental peace.

Caught in such an impasse, a gentleman, not having a good time with his wife, came asking: “Shall my marriage stay steady as my wife has been of late literally behaving crazyIJ” Having analysed his chart, I advised him to look within to find the answer. There seems to be nothing wrong with your wife. You are a victim of your own making. In fact, your progressed horoscope suggests that you would have become too much touchy and sensitive of late. You would not be taking even her usual responses kindly. You would be overreacting on trivial issues and even stretch them beyond their due. On top of that you would be rubbing her shoulders wrong way inviting due response, and yet expect her to be submitting to you.  There seems to be some sense of guilt dwelling in your mind, which makes you suspicious of other’s intent. So, you would be unnecessarily trying to encroach in her independent domain. So, watch out where you have gone wrong. Take corrective initiatives, and very soon your relationship shall be back to normal”.

So goes the saying:”Watch your thoughts, they become words; Watch your words, they become action; Watch your actions, they become habit; Watch your habits, they become your character; Watch your character, it becomes your destiny.”The person had some rudimentary knowledge of astrology.  He asked me, “What is the basis on which you have formed the above viewIJ” I explained the astrological basis: “You have Rahu posited in your lagna. It implies that you can never be contented in life; engaged in unending hunt for some fresh green pastures that may satisfy you. Rahu again is posited in the lunar constellation owned by Mars, the 3rd and 8th lord in the 8th itself, the house identified with self-invited difficulties. That makes you vulnerable to get into self-undoing acts. The Sun is locked in adverse formation with Neptune and Venus. That gets you stuck to your self-delusion, living in a dream world distanced from ground reality. Also, you would be a habitual escapist not keen to take cognisance of the truth on its very first appearance. That also points to you being emotionally volatile, too much touchy and sensitive. 

Mercury, the lagna lord placed adverse to Uranus implies that you are inherently an unconventional person, who may derive pleasure in defying settled societal norms. Moon placed adverse to Mars makes you temperamental, moody, impulsive, and irritable.  Mercury conjunct Saturn makes you sceptical. This, when read together with Jupiter locked in adverse formation to Uranus means that you may question the very basis of settled value system. Also, it makes you rebellious, opinionated and tactless. And on top of that is your Venus placed opposite Neptune, which calls for watching out your reputation. Against this backdrop, when your progressed Venus closed up with natal sun, would have led you to some unholy association. This remains the cause of your hidden sense of guilt that has been unconsciously driving you crazy.
