Tigerlilly - Lobsang Rampa

you two should come together. Saturn is in the same House, to
the exact degree, in each of your charts; sign of a deep and
lasting tie.’ This astrologer was very careful about his pre-
dictions, knowing full well the foibles of human nature and the
responsibility of his profession, and he seemed somewhat
baffled at some of the things he saw in the two charts. Con-
sidering the unusual experiences we were to contend with in
the days and weeks ahead it was not surprising. It was appar-
ent that while we may not always see ‘eye-to-eye’ in the ordin-
ary everyday things, there was no doubt but that in the deeper
permanent concepts we were as one. This assurance has always
sustained me through the ups and downs, the peaks and lows,
of the see-saw of our time together. I knew there was a pur-
pose behind it all, even at the lowest ebb, and all the vicis-
situdes would be worth while in the long run.
It was not long (only a few days) after we first met that Carl
took me to meet his Mother, with whom he was then living. Of
a somewhat formidable appearance, with strong views on
many subjects, she was amiable enough, but I always had the
impression that she resented my appearing on the scene. Like
many mothers she wanted to keep her son to herself, although
she had never been noted for showing any special affection for
him. It was probably a case of wanting to hang on to something
she was in danger of losing. For me there was the knowledge
that I could put up with the situation because it was natural
for a young man to find happiness with a partner, and I felt we
were doing what was intended of us. I had been fending for
myself for a number of years so I had the experience of deal-
ing with different situations, and this was only one more. For
some reason I have had to contend with ‘dislike’ from certain
women at various times, and I sometimes wonder why . .
probably this nuisance will follow me to the end of my life.
The astrologer called it jealousy!!
