According as what particular aspects plays heavy in a being, sets the terms of how one perceives life, and responds or reacts to the issues in hand. The question now is: When every being is made of the same stuff, how comes that different people have a varying mindsetIJ Are we simply fated like thatIJ Here again comes into reckoning the uniqueness of human beings. Remember, all dynamic existences in the world, but for humans, are bound by predefined laws of nature, with no scope for any digression. Human beings, on the contrary, are armed with the exclusive privilege of guiding their actions by choice and discrimination. In a way, it may not be unfair to deduce that human beings enjoy the liberty to move on a self-designated path. But mind it; if there is a choice, the probability of its use and misuse becomes equal. And there is nothing like a free lunch in this world. So, if you are to enjoy the choice option, owning up the consequences thereof becomes imperative.
So, what you experience any moment is culmination of the doings and undoing in the past. Here again, how you negotiate the callings of the present moment will set the terms of future. And life runs in succession. So what you have carried over from the past life, coming as they may with different sets of experiences one would go through, defines how individual mind and psyche presents itself. In this sense, we are all seemingly fated. But can it be anyway modifiedIJ
Yes of course, and to one’s asking, on the strength of none other than our choice option. Provided we conscientiously direct our choice option towards that end. let us not forget that choice option does also grant us with the privilege to self-reflect, identify inherent vulnerabilities, and make necessary amendments through fresh educative inputs. Also, figure out one’s positives, hone them further, and lay down the ground for a better tomorrow.
The irony, however, is that ordinarily our ego keeps us stuck to our desire destination, seldom allowing us with the time and space to self-reflect and acknowledge one’s own frailties. Here, astrology comes handy to offer us with a dispassionate analysis of one’s personality framework. A case in point is that of someone who having lost interest in life, impulsively ended his life in the heat of moment. His near and dear ones had been forewarned to ensure that he regularly takes medicine, otherwise his disorderly mind could lead to disastrous consequences. let us look at his astrological pointers.
He was born in Aquarius lagna, a fixed sign. The lagna lord Saturn, along with its dire enemies the Sun and Mars are posited in that very sign but placed towards the 12th house. That makes out a stubborn character, with seeds of fear and insecurity deeply embedded. Also, it points to a negative mindset susceptible to get into self- undoing act. The lagna sub-lord, incidentally intelligence signifying Mercury, is tenanted in the lunar constellation of mind indicating Moon, also the 6th lord identified with ailments. That makes him vulnerable to problems of mind genesis.
Moon occupies movable and fiery sign Aries, which makes him an impulsive, impatient, and an intolerant character. Moon is locked in adverse formation to mischievous Neptune as well as Mercury. That accounts for being stuck to self-delusions distanced from ground realities, as well as his insensible reasoning and judgment. Saturn, ill-disposed off to Venus is responsible for bringing in a state of hopelessness. The Sun placed adverse to Jupiter accounted for his swaggering ego stuck to self-defined beliefs. He could not digest any contrarian view. And the result is there to see. Sheer lack of alert on the part of guardians to ensure regular medication is what cost them heavy.
