Many a times a counsellor has to bear with unpleasant moments. Taking it as a part of professional hazard, he has to digest it all without any sense of rancour or displeasure. There are people who remain stuck to their own delusionary dream perceptions, not keen to look beyond in search of a better option if any. Some of them even lack the will to go on their own. Such people wish to be vetted by some others. So, they meet a counsellor, but not to seek honest opinion. They rather try to put their idea in the consultant’s mouth, and just wish confirmation. They can’t digest if an honest consultant ever tries to make them aware of truth. Such people vent out their frustration on the consultant.
Recently, I had to digest unsavoury remarks made by such a person, which got communicated by a dear friend who had introduced him to me. This man wanted resolution to some of his concerns: “Sir, although I was financially and otherwise quite comfortable while in USA, but had to bear with frequent job changes — six career changes in four years. I could not bear with social environment either. So, I quit my job in a state of desperation, with the intent to build up my career here in my native country. Almost a year has gone bye, and I am yet to find a job. When do I get a job and where? Recently, I liked a girl, but she doesn’t seem to be coming around, as she is stuck to her old boyfriend. I am not able to get along with my parents either. Please show me the way.”
Well, everybody comes to this world with their own Karmic carryover from the past, which they have to bear with. A look into your chart reveals that you are running Venus dasha, which being 2nd lord identified with earning, is posited in the 10th house identified with career. So, your career has to go strong. But then Venus is combust, and occupies the constellation owned by Moon conjunct Mars, both tenanted in a movable sign. So, you were due for frequent career changes, so long as the sub-periods of planets occupying movable signs were operative. That often proved emotionally upsetting. Those sub-periods being over, you may have long tenure now. But ‘change being your nature’, you can’t stick to a job for long. In so far as being ignored by a girl already in relationship with someone else is concerned, how can you expect from her to submit to your asking? About your career prospects, it is expected to flourish in a foreign land, and so, you may have to seek a job abroad once again.
The problem with you, however, is that you seem to be stuck to your own self-assumed delusionary perceptions, quite distant from ground reality, coming as it may as both the luminaries are placed adverse to mischievous Neptune. You won’t look beyond for a reality check. You won’t acknowledge truth on its first appearance. You rather prefer to pursue your dream perceptions on hope against hope till pushed to the wall. Given the present direction — the progressed Sun placed adverse to natal Neptune, this attitude is playing out to its full.
You are born in an Aries lagna, a fiery and a movable sign, with its lord Mars in debilitation, which is conjunct mind signifying Moon in a watery sign and in another movable sign Cancer. That, in the first place, reflects your impulsive, aggressive, irritable, impatient, intolerant and a domineering nature. You wish to live in a demanding mode. In fact, ‘my way or highway’ seems to be your approach. Second, you wish to be always in the lead, and resent subordination, even of your seniors. Third, you are rash and jump into action without applying proper forethought. You apply your mind only when you land into problem. Fourth, you are emotionally volatile, and so get over-exercised even on trivial issues,.
Intelligence signifying Mercury is placed adverse to erratic Rahu, which makes you restless, often engaged in conflicting thoughts. Consequently, you fail to look at issues in hand objectively. The result is there to see. You must remember that the world doesn’t necessarily move to your asking. You need to work upon your fault lines, particularly inter-personal relationship skill, otherwise it will be difficult to get along with any, and hold on to any relationship for long either.
The man did not like being shown his mirror image, and hence his outburst.
