Animals enjoy absolute freedom in jungles. They can move unrestrained all across in search of food. But they’ve to be on full alert about their security concerns. Understanding their limitation of freedom, they move in herds as a precautionary measure. If ever one of them goes astray, they often fall prey to killer animals on their prowl. Animal’s scope of freedom is limited to their gross physicality – safety concerns and food security.
Human beings too are born free. You can make your choices as you wish. But remember, if you exercise your choice, you are to own the consequences thereof, good or bad. Also, unlike animals, the consequences of choices made are not limited to gross physicality. It extends to your mental and emotional state as well, and not simply limited to the self, but could stretch on to those around as well. In fact, we create such scars at our mental and emotional level that often has long term bearing, and evidently to our detriment. So, choices are supposed to be made very carefully. To facilitate that, human beings are armed with the faculty of discriminate intelligence.
It may not be out of place to mention that we are all a part of large existence, where each one of us is born imperfect, but together make out a wholesome world. That calls for a compulsive interdependence to make up for our voids and meet our existential needs, individually and collectively. But that wouldn’t happen easily unless we are sensible to each other’s concerns and aspirations.
The problem, however, is that each of us is born unique, with individual perceptive and comprehensive abilities, habits, attitudes, likes, dislikes, desire trends, prejudices and obsessions. The reason: Invariably, we enter the world with a preconditioned mental dispensation. That makes the world a natural breeding ground of conflicting interests. What then is the meaning of enjoying freedom, when we are so much under limitationIJ
Remember, enjoying freedom does not grant you the right to blindly pursue your individualistic whims and fancies, unnerving all others. Often ignorant budding youths and egotistical persons wish to exercise their right to freedom in that spirit only. And in their egotistical hang, they often get into self-undoing acts. You can’t just go and play cricket in the middle of the road inconveniencing the travellers.
The power of freedom is there to help you identify, acknowledge, and address your limitations of mind, so as to get enabled to make full use of your enormous mind-power, to your best advantage. Astrology can serve as a very effective diagnostic tool in this respect. Having achieved this state, you will realise that your individualistic aspirations would be better served if collective interests are well taken care of. And then, you won’t cross path with others, and life will have a smooth run. For, involuntarily you will follow all civic norms that are framed on the basis of experience of ages.
The other day a hassled mother worried about continued idiosyncrasy of her daughter in her teens, came looking for her daughter’s destiny indications. I suggested her that instead for exploring possible destiny indications, better counsel her to work upon her limitations of mind. Once she understands that her true potential-self would bloom out only when she addresses her inherent frailties, she will begin to behave.
look at the girl’s astrological pointers. The Sun locked in adverse formation to Uranus makes out an unconventional, self-willed girl who will take pleasure in defying all established norms. She may not take elders advice and counsel kindly.
Moon ill-disposed off to Neptune makes her stuck to self-delusions. She would be an escapist who will not acknowledge truth on its first appearance, and rather keep pursuing her fanciful dream perceptions, till she meets a dead end.
Mars crossing path with Moon, Uranus, and Neptune speaks of her temperamental, moody, argumentative, irrational, and tactless nature. She would unmindfully misdirect her energies towards unproductive ends, at times proving self-destructive. She is also susceptible to develop inferiority complex. Mercury placed adverse to Rahu, gives her a wavering mind, and which tells upon her commonsensical judgment. Venus placed adverse to Uranus may tempt her into unconventional partnerships that may get her distanced from near and dear ones.
The potential in her are no less. But as on date, her frailties are proving heavy on them. I wish that she understands sooner than later to secure her future.
