Someone, keen to become quickly rich, suddenly gave up his lucrative job, and got into entrepreneurial venture. This, despite being forewarned that time was not conducive to business initiatives. “Someday, I had to take the challenge. So, why not todayIJ” he reacted. Now after three years in business, which initially took off considerably well, and the going getting difficult, he came back asking: “What planetary placement made me fail in my business enterpriseIJ And what is in store of my destinyIJ”
Well, let me make it clear that planets are not doers. They do, however, point to the possibilities in offing in emerging times, the domain of which is not limited to the self. It does also account for the overall environmental situation. It was on this basis that you were advised not to take entrepreneurial venture at that particular point of time. So, success or failure doesn’t happen simply because a particular planetary alignment would have wished it that way. Other related factors too need to be taken into consideration to figure out future implications of initiatives taken.
“Truth remains that you made a bad choice at a wrong time; it made you go through such frustrating experience,” I said. “What wrong choiceIJ Don’t I have the right to pursue my desireIJ” he asked.
Well, you enjoy the freedom to make choices. But before taking any call, you need to first weigh the option in hand. For, your wishful thinking and individualistic efforts alone don’t grant you the passport to success. In the interdependent world we live in, we can’t afford to ignore overall environmental situation. You plunged into business at a time when nation’s economy was going down. Business was not moving. There was hardly any flow of cash in the market. If there is no fund available, where do you get the buyers fromIJ
Your ego did not let you take kindly to the good counsel offered. And blindly pursuing your passionate urge, you did not care to invoke and put to use your own empowerment tool – the faculty of discriminate intelligence – either, for due diligence. So, without necessary ground work, impulsively you got into business. And the result is there to see.
Bear in mind; the choice option available to us doesn’t come for free. The responsibility for bearing with the encumbrances entailed is implied. So it happened. But all said and done, the moot question here is: Why did he not do necessary homework before taking such a major decision in lifeIJ For the answer, a look into the predisposition of his mind becomes imperative.
let us now look at the implications of man’s astrological pointers. He was born in Aries lagna with Mind signifying Moon posited there itself. The clear implication is that the person is aggressive, impulsive, arrogant, domineering, impatient, and intolerant. He is independent minded, not keen to entertain other’s views. He will not like to play second fiddle to anybody. He has the tendency of jumping into action without applying proper forethought. It is only when confronted with crisis situation that he may apply his mind. Mars placed adverse to both the Sun and Moon makes him temperamental, irritable, and argumentative. Moon again, ill-disposed off to Jupiter makes him emotionally rash, and also brings in speculative temperament.
Mars placed adverse to Jupiter accounts for his inflated ego, which makes him stuck to his preconceived notions, and not open to listening. He can’t digest any idea that would be at variance with his own perceptions. Mercury, ill-disposed off to Rahu doesn’t allow him the scope to patiently carry on due diligence before getting into any act.
Venus is locked in adverse formation to both Uranus and Neptune. In the first place, it brings in craving for becoming quick rich, by whatever means possible. Second, his finance management skill appears to be bad. Also, it makes him vulnerable to financial losses because of indiscrete and ill-timed investment.
To sum up, it has been the man’s habit tendencies that holds the key to his flawed approach to life. If that was figured out and worked upon well in time, he would not have gone through such an ordeal. As already detailed above, his planetary markers speak loud of his basic fabric of mind, and with a fair amount of precision. If astrology is used in this spirit, it could serve a much better purpose. Taking cue, one could take necessary corrective initiatives, whence, one may shape one’s own destiny.
