We have so far discussed in detail about the dynamics of mind in our previous issues and also the need to remain conscious about its orderly functioning. It is time now to see in practical terms how a disorderly mind could invite long drawn pains and sufferings in life.
The other day a distressed lady, not knowing how to come out of her traumatic situation, came seeking guidance. Her opening question was: “What wrong have I done for the ordeal I have gone through for almost a decade nowIJ I have been subjected to continued abuse, physically, mentally, emotionally and otherwise. I am totally drained out, my confidence is shattered. My mind seems to have lost its balance, and have lost all hope in life. I am just pulling on my life for my children. And shall I be able to come out of this marriageIJ”
Well, if you don’t remain true to yourself, nobody can help you. Human being is empowered to guide one’s action by choice and discrimination. By ignoring your discriminating abilities, impulsively you made a wrong choice on instinctive judgment. Evidently, you had to bear with the consequences thereof.
As would happen to any budding young girl, you too nursed fanciful dreamy perception about your prospective mate. Befitting your expectations, the first flamboyant handsome young man you chanced upon, you blindly went after him. And when you saw that the guy spent lavishly on you, drove you in swanky car, and lived in a posh locality, you thought he was resourceful enough to take good care of you. In awe of his seeming realities, you never cared to do a reality check on his true nature. You did not pay attention to elders’ counsel for buying some time so that you were able to know the man in and out. And you rushed through marriage. The truth about his true-self dawned upon you only after settling down in marriage, but by then it was too late.
Your astrological pointers speak loud of why you conducted yourself as above. But no knowledge of astrology was needed to explore man’s true nature. You just had to buy time and watch him closely.
Marital separation or not, is exclusively your prerogative. But before you take the call, you need to get over your present mental predicament and rebuild yourself afresh. Otherwise, you may not be able to take a reasoned stand. Second, you may not be able to articulate your actions well. Third, you may not be able to withstand the challenges coming your way in the process. So, work upon yourself by following the process suggested. let us now look at her astrological pointers.
The Sun is locked in adverse formation to Jupiter. It speaks of her swaggering ego with a closed mind, stuck to her self-beliefs. She may not take advice and counsel of elders kindly. Both the luminaries, the Sun and Moon lock horns with mischievous Neptune. The obvious implication is that she would be stuck to her fanciful dream perceptions, often distanced from ground realities. Bound by her self-delusions, she would not acknowledge truth on its first appearance, and ignore it till pushed to the wall. Moon, ill-disposed off to Uranus, makes her erratic. Mars and Mercury close by, makes her irritable and restless, and which accounts for her distracted attention. In a fit of anger, she may lose her sense of reasoning and control. Saturn placed adverse to Ketu, would not allow her to take on challenges coming her way head on. She may rather try to find an easy escape route. Consequently, her problems get dragged on for long. All put together made her vulnerable to act unmindfully in life.
Turning to her husband’s chart, Rahu placed in his 3rd house identified with basal instincts, implies that he would be mean-minded person. Also, he would be in a bad company. Neptune in the 4th house, crossing path with Mars, implies in the first place, speaks of bad parentage. Second, he would be suffering from inferiority complex. Third, he may have violent temperament, and may often ill-treat others, particularly the near and dear ones. Moon placed adverse with Mercury as well as erratic Rahu, speaks of his weird mind-set, unpredictable mood swings, fuzzy thinking, insensible reasoning and judgment. The Sun placed adverse to Venus, read together with Moon ill-disposed off to Jupiter, speaks of his volatile emotionality and his self-indulgences.
The result is there to see. I wish, she sincerely follows the advice offered, and soon she would feel empowered enough to conduct prudently.
