“What is in store of my destiny? I am going through a very difficult time since I got married 2 years back. Please suggest a puja or gem stone to help me get over my problem.” Somebody came asking in a state of distress. “Are you having relationship issues with your wife?” I queried. “No sir. We get along very well. I have suffered heavy loss and I am under debt. All my attempts to overcome losses have put me further under debt trap.” He answered. “What has your marriage to do with your losses?” I countered. “Sir, before marriage, I was doing fine. Whatever I looked for, came through. I became a Chartered Accountant at the young age of 23, even when I attempted the qualifying examination half-heartedly. My failings began only after marriage. I had not done any astrological matching before marriage, which made me feel having brought ill luck,” he answered.
Astrological matching by itself doesn’t bring in good luck. Many marriages fail even after a good matching score. A reading your astrological chart reveals that you have been a victim of your own making. Blindfolded, you tried to become quick rich by indulging in speculation, which proved a misadventure. Your indiscretion and ill-timed move cost you heavy. Yet, you did not realise. Instead, you continued to indulge in speculation in the hope that sooner or later you may recover your losses. And when you fell into a debt trap, rather than looking into your own fault lines, disillusioned you are now trying to shift the blame on hypothetical ideas. Don’t mess up your marriage for no fault of your wife. Her support will help you overcome your problems in all strength and faster.
In terms of remedial measure, let me make it clear that your thought process drove you crazy. No puja, nor any gemstone can bring back good luck unless you modify your desire trends. Remember, there is no short cut to life. In your present job, growth may though be slow but it will be steady. At least it will not hurt you the way your wishful thinking has brought in. Acknowledge prevailing truth, set your priority right, and intelligently manage your finances to pay off the debt. Meanwhile, look for a better paying job, which seems probable. It may take some time to clear off the debt, but once you are out of it, you may enjoy a stress free life in all comforts.
“But sir, why did such ideas knock me down immediately after marriage?” The young man queried. A look at your astrological pointers and progression of planets over the years will make things clear. You are born in Pisces lagna. Its lord Jupiter is conjunct finance indicator Venus in the 8th house as well as restive Rahu. That brought in the tendency to become quick rich, even it means adopting unconventional means. Incidentally, Venus happens to be the 3rd and 8th lord, respectively marked with self-initiatives and serious difficulties. That makes you vulnerable to become a victim of your own initiatives in your bid for quick gains. The lagna sub-lord Moon, marked with your basic desire trends is tenanted in the 11th house identified with fulfilment of desires. Moon being the 5th lord marked with speculative tendencies bred in such a desire. But then Moon occupied the constellation owned by Mars posited in the 4th house (the house of loss for 5th house matters). So, your initiative for gains through speculation caused loss. What further compounded your problem is that Mars happens to be the 9th lord, which being 8th from 2nd house (identified with gains), made you vulnerable to loss through investment.
Now, about the timing, progressed Sun accounted for 25th year was adverse to mischievous Neptune as well as Uranus marked with sudden turn of events. That bred in illusionary ideas, distanced from ground realities, and blindfolded you fell into trap. Being inherently restless, as would Mars ill-disposed off to intelligence signifying Mercury may mean, you lacked the patience needed for reality check before jumping into action. Transit Saturn was bang on natal Uranus and Neptune. Since Saturn is placed adverse to natal Uranus and Neptune, they all joined hands to cause loss. For, Saturn being 11th lord that would have otherwise proved gainful, as 12th lord occupying 12th house itself, it had to cause loss. The result is there to see.
Address your mental limitations by following the process suggested and intelligently negotiate your problem. By 2024, you should be out of woods.
