The other day a question was put up by someone seeking guidance for dealing with his internal struggle: “What wrong I did that both my personal life and career got knocked down around the same timeIJ Is my chart so cursed that I had to go through such a long drawn ordealIJ Why the astrologers I used to consult could not see through and forewarn meIJ Unlike the past, fear of a gloomy future now dwells in my mind.”
Well, human mind is impressionable. So, following long drawn unpleasant experiences, sense of fear and insecurity naturally creeps in mind. But had your chart been really cursed, you would not have had your way earlier, both in terms of career and personal life. The painful internal struggle you are going through is primarily because of your perception. Your upbringing made you believe that marriages are made in heaven and that the same partnership is to be sought after for seven successive lives. This perception did not let you digest unforeseen marital separation proceedings suddenly thrust on you. Mind it; down the line societal dynamics have undergone a paradigm shift. With growing education, exposure and awareness, women are day-by-day becoming economically independent and have begun to claim their right to equality. Now, they too wish to claim an independent space for themselves, which male ego had so far denied them. No wonder marital separation has become order of the day.
Even in terms of career, earlier, people used to join one organisation and continued there, till retirement. Now with the hire and fire concept doing the round, people lose their job more often. The employees too, are tempted to frequently change jobs for career growth.
Mind it; we live in a transient world which always remains in a state of flux. Continuous societal churning thereby becomes a natural corollary. Consequently, societal dynamics keep changing. But earlier, the change used to be gradual, and so one could easily cope up. But since communication explosion, which gave immediate exposure to the ongoing trends of the developed world, aspirational urges suddenly grew beyond proportion. With that the change has been rapid in recent times, difficult for those guided by past norms to digest. The paradox, however, is that afraid of uncertain future, often people resist change. But bear in mind that remaining stuck to our wishful thinking is always fraught with danger. We have no choice than to keep pace with the callings of emerging times, which keeps varying widely every moment. Otherwise, we will be left behind in the run of time leading to painful experiences.
Remember, life doesn’t move to one’s asking. In a world where every being is born imperfect and unique, each carrying varying mindset and interests, the journey of life can never be an easy go. One has to contend with oddities and hazards throughout life, sometimes lesser in proportion and graver at other times. It needs to be appreciated here that should we wilfully accept ground reality, one may be able to deal with emerging challenges relatively with ease and comfort.
Now coming to the cause of your ordeal, let me make it clear that it is always the fallout of the choices that you made in the past — this life or the previous one. But here again, the same choice option enjoins upon you with the privilege to figure out emerging trends. And accordingly be well geared up to intelligently deal with the emerging challenges. Also, be careful while making choices now onwards to evade any future implications. Astrologers not conversant with the implications of slow moving Neptune and Saturn put together, if ever applicable, could not read its long term bearing, and which applies in your case.
A look at Karmic Saturn placed adverse to mischievous Neptune in your chart, clearly hinted long drawn challenges, once they join hand in transit. No surprise, once transit Neptune touched natal Saturn, your ordeal began. It stretched on till transit Saturn closed up with natal Neptune, covering a span of almost 10 years. Its carryover effect continued for a while, before your life began taking a positive turn. What further compounded your internal struggle was your inflated ego, coming as it may with Jupiter posited adverse to Mars. Otherwise, you would have accepted the inevitable, when your partner chasing fanciful dream deserted you for a year. Ignoring truth, if you unmindfully make wrong choice, who else is to bear with the consequences thereofIJ The result is now there for you to see.
