Every being is an enigma by oneself. For, mind, which defines and drives one’s functional mandate, is steered by an inherent sense of duality. That makes one vulnerable to breed conflicting thoughts and ideas, even running into extremes, often leaving a being thoroughly confused. In turn, that makes one susceptible to making wild choices on instinctive judgment without applying proper forethought, and evidently to one’s detriment.
What compounds our problem all the more is that each of us begins with high hopes and aspiration, each nursing individual specific desire-trends. And given a free rope, one would wish to passionately pursue one’s dream destination blindfolded as would one’s varied perception prompt them. That further creates ground for conflict of interest with those around. For, this very reason, it becomes difficult to believe that the world could ever move to one’s asking. Even otherwise, no motion could be ever put to effect without inviting resistance.
Those who fail to keep the above truth alive in mind, it becomes difficult for them to intelligently deal with the challenges coming their way. They fail to adapt themselves to the varying callings of emerging times. As a consequence, it becomes difficult to negotiate life with ease and comfort. It makes still more difficult for them to digest failure and frustration to follow. In turn, that gets one’s fertile mind into unnecessary brooding and contemplation with questions such as: ‘Why meIJ Why did destiny play spoilsport with meIJ’ Consequently, mind-space gets clouded with inconsequential and negative thoughts, not left with enough to process our thoughts objectively. Also, one loses considerable sum of energy, not leaving much scope to attend to even usual obligations of life in all strength. That leaves one mentally exhausted and physically fatigued inviting stress.
Once a person comes under stress, his/her physiological status also comes under strain. For, balance of hormonal secretions from various glands in the body gets impaired. That, in turn, further compounds stress. Consequently, mind loses sense of direction, and the person’s thought process becomes incoherent, eventually leading to acute depression. He begins to doubt his own strength and wisdom, loses confidence, and becomes suspicious of everybody and anybody. life virtually comes to a halt, calling for medical intervention.
The question now is: Why do some amongst us come under such pressure, but others are still able to remain stable despite all odds in their wayIJ The answer lies in the way one’s mind is inherently framed. Evidently, the weaklings wilt under pressure soon. Those with stronger built, however, are able to take on challenges in stride, and are able to negotiate life intelligently with ease and comfort. Such individualistic inherent trends could be very well figured out through astrological study for timely correction.
look at the case of a gentleman suffering from acute depression. He did not take it seriously, when the ailment struck him, despite all advisories. It is only when it took a serious proportion that he sought medical and counsellor’s help last month and by now has shown considerable improvement.
let us look at his astrological pointers. Mind signifying Moon being locked in adverse formation with the limiting Saturn points to his indwelling seeds of depression, which given a trigger would raise its head. Mars is there with Saturn in the 12th house points to his disturbed sleep-pattern, which lends ground to depression. Mars again is locked in adverse formation to Moon. That makes out an irritable, argumentative, aggressive and a habitually suspicious person. Reading the above implications together makes him vulnerable to go through intermittent bouts of depression and aggression.
On top of it is his inflated ego, as would Mars placed opposite Jupiter imply. That confines him to his self-defined perceptions. Read together with his lagna Taurus being a fixed sign, he doesn’t seem to be easily amenable to change. Consequently, it becomes difficult for him to digest anything happening beyond his predefined limits.
Here again, intelligence signifying Mercury is placed opposite Uranus, which implies that he would be continuously breeding and attending to conflicting thoughts. Also, it accounts for his impaired reasoning and judgment, particularly when confronted with adverse situations. If that isn’t enough, the Sun is also locked in adverse formation to Uranus, which accounts for his erratic behaviour. And the result is there to see.
