|| Gururbrahmaa Gururvishnu Gururdevo Maheshvarah |||| GururSakshaat Parambrahma, Tasmai Shri Gurave Namah||Vol 7 – C. S. Patel 2 nd Memorial Issue- Part 1This special issue has been kept manuscript centric because it is re-dedicated to Late Shri C SPatel. The Grandmaster of Modern Vedic astrology taught to the world few rare principles butwhat was the most important teaching from him most have missed. It was ‘Keep It Simple & No-Infidelity in Astrology’ – this principle can be used by all the Western Astrology students and also theVedic Astrology students. Especially during these times of internet & fast communication where allkinds of knowledge is available and one has multiple teachers, this is most essential otherwise as wehave observed over the last decade many great minds in astrology go ‘Absolute Waste’. In today’s timesof multiple organisations and institutions he just stuck to his room in Mumbai and did not waste timedoing Public Relations and as many have told us over the years there has never been a master like MrPatel. These fans of Mr Patel have been from Denmark to Australia and even from small villages inIndia. The striking part of Mr Patel was he spear-headed the movement in last 100 years to bring out raremanuscripts containing real knowledge of astrology, he travelled far to collect it, he translated thempainstakingly and demonstrated application. After him almost none in India succeeded in bringing outso many rare verses from so many rare manuscripts. His books still remain on the top of the shelf ofevery astro lover in the world. It is this penchant of his to dig deeper into manuscripts and not besatisfied by available books that we follow and will address more gravely in this issue. Hence this issueof the magazine will not follow regular columns and is a Manuscript Centric Issue so as to inspireeveryone to dig deeper into classics, we bring out this time translations of several unknown but mostimportant works.Each Publitorial of Saptarishis Astrology is designed to be different from other editorials. As apolicy it does not venture into mundane astrology & looks upon itself to take the task mentioned in the‘Last Book Of Astrology’ to ‘Change The Mindsets’ of astrologers worldwide which would in turnwould make the Astrology Consciousness to grow and become purified, thereby creating the stage andthe automatic need in the Universe to bring out the hidden and working knowledge in astrology. Intoday’s time of commercialization and shameless self promotion it is more essential for us to raise theconsciousness.The Enigma Of Birth Time RectificationLet us quickly turn to a world event that happened few months back and a challenge to astrologersworldwide. One must bear in mind that without proper birth time every article on birth timerectification is a product of the authors experience or mind and cannot be taken as a guarantorinspite of the fame or experience of the astrologer. It is the toughest to even rectify & get to the Asc incases of unknown birth and as complex a life that of Michael Jackson. A new breed of astrologers overthe internet fooled for one decade to rectify birth time till the second up to the 60 th division asking for $250 to $ 500 for it. One way to test an astrologer is no to take the chart of a known person whose birthcertificate is crystal clear and give the time of birth as unknown to astrologers. You will find that everyastrologer worth his salt will ‘Fit’ all the events into the Asc he chooses and even we are guilty of thesame, since birth time rectification is one of the most toughest process. What is more important is beinghonest and admitting that it is the toughest in getting the Asc right, what say of getting to the exactsecond, a practice in modern times of fooling young ones. It is Michael Jacksons chart which has givenus extreme pain and headaches not because he is a celeb but because he truly was a great entertainer. Inrecent years, to cause us sleepless nights was a bigger obsession of getting to the chart of LindaGoodman whose date of birth is also unknown, she ensured that you go round and round and don’t getto her, just like Jackson ensured that. Let’s trace his birth time confusion with what some famousastrologers went through.7

Richard Gehman gives a time of 7:54 AM CDT "from someone close to Michael." Grazia Bordoniwrites that Mercurio-3 gave 3:00 AM "from him." Zip Dobyns has 1:30 AM "from a close friend ofMichael's to a fellow astrologer." Dobyns speculates late Aquarius rising. Kim Baker speculates 12:09PM in NCGR Newsletter article. Lois Rodden spec-rectifies to 8:47 AM CDT. Basil Fearringtonrectifies to 11:53 PM in "Astrology of the Famed," writing in a footnote of the Introduction that "I hadmany opportunities to observe Michael but could not get close enough to ask him about his time ofbirth." On 12/31/1998, Fearrington emailed the statement that "I had occasion, while playing in theopening act for the very last Jackson tour to ask Michael what his time of birth was. He said "I will tellyou as I told Jackie Onassis, all I know is that it was late in the evening, definitely after 10:30 PM."However, LMR notes that "Astrology of the Famed" was published in 1996 and Jackson's last tour was in1984 so there is some question about this. Shortly after Jackson's death in late June 2009, Steven Stuckeywrote to: "My friend and teacher of 25 years, Vedic astrologer Chakrapani Ullal 1 , was Michael Jackson'sastrologer in the late '80's. Michael gave him a time of birth of 7:33 PM." In a follow-up e-mail, Stuckeyconfirmed that Chakrapani received the time from Jackson directly. Edith Hathaway submitted thesame time also from Chakrapani Ullal. PT also talked with Chakrapani who confirmed that he receivedthe time directly from Michael. At around the same time Michael Munkasey called citing Ed Healin for12:09 PM. Ed worked at a record company and did charts as well. When Michael Jackson approached Edto read his chart, Ed sent Jackson away, saying something like "get the time from your birth certificate."When Jackson returned, he told Ed that he had been born at 12:09 PM according to his birth certificate.Given that there are numerous reports with different times, many from Jackson himself, PT maintainedthe DD rating as of July 2009.We even asked America’s senior most Astrologer and also a writer for Saptarishis Astrology, ShriChakrapani Ullal in order to double check the time of birth he received from Jackson. His reply to us:Dear Admin,Thank you for your email. Michael Jackson's birth time is 19:33 and it was personally given by him to me. I was hisastrologer from the 80's, 90's, and until 2005. I do believe that this birth time is correct because he had theknowledge that the time should be very accurate for the purpose of the reading. He was kind of an enlightened man,he was vegetarian, a meditator, and was a highly humble human being.Yours,ChakrapaniThe Asc is Taurus with Indian Zodiac with Basil Ferrington’s time of birth Asc and Aquariuswith Chakrapani Ullal’s time of birth reference. Gayatri Devi Vasudev the editor of Modern Astrologyalso took the same time of birth that of Mr Ullal in her September issue with a nice editorial to Jacksonschart. The agony of a serious student of astrology is when he tried several rare methods to double checkon what could be the right Asc and finds that both Asc can resonate with events also matching. Whatdoes one do in such circumstances; Indian Astrology has a solution to this which is by taking Moon asthe Ascendant.Michael Jackson Chart via Moon as the AscendantIn India we see charts from natal Asc and moon Asc and to a lesser extent the Sun Asc. Why did theancients of India take Moon as the Asc even when the time of birth is known is a mystery, varioustheories abound but classical works fail to impress as to the reason why. Infact it seems absurd totake Moon as Asc since for nearly 2 days most of the people born will have the same Chart if one takesit from the Moon Asc but still astrologers in India since thousands of years have sworn with theirexperience that this technique works. One of the reasons to not ignore Moon Asc is not just since it1 You can check his site and contact him for consultations at http://www.vedicastrology.com/8

controls the water on earth and humans having maximum % of water hence Moon Asc but theastronomical reason related to astrology is Moon is the only body which ‘Revolves Around Earth’ – thispoint has not been mentioned earlier in books and craves deeper thinking on it. Imagine if you aresitting in a park in bench and a kid zooms his bike around you continuously, won’t it affect your mindand by affecting one’s mind it would affect ones action which is what we are trying to find out viaastrology. This revolution of the Moon around earth (you) makes it necessary to see the chart ‘Also’from the Moon as the Asc. Also once the native has crossed the age of 32 then it becomes more thannecessary to see the chart also from the Moon Asc. In case of people who are emotional or in creativefields one cannot ignore seeing their charts from the Moon Asc. Charts of people who arecompassionate (4H matter), clean heart you must see their charts by making Moon as the Asc and thisapplies more to Michael Jackson.Interestingly if we take Moon as the Asc then it will match with the time given by MJ to ChakrapaniUllal but we will take it as Moon Asc chart.9

It is difficult to explain any chart as to why the person became a celeb without going into Indianastrology but that will be reduced here considering that the Publitorial is read by western astrologyastrologers too. Some key points area) The Asc Aq has Moon sitting in it which is the 6 th lord of diseases and courts and accusations,his life was marred by these factors all his life. 1H is the house of skull & skin 2 and 6L of disease beingplaced there means some sort of skin disease by which his skin changes frequently just as the moonsphases change. He suffered from a skin disease called vitiligo.b) Technique of Deciphering Snap Shot Of Life:This technique can be used by western astrology & Indian astrology adepts too and we had explained itbriefly in previous editorials. See the number of the sign in the Asc, suppose it is Sagi Asc then thenumber of the sign is 9, now go to 9H of the chart and their ruler, conjunctions, planets there in and soon and you would get the Snap Shot of Life in a second. In the case of Michael Jackson, his Moon Asc isAq which is number 11, so we take 11 th house of his chart which signifies achievements in life. Its ruler isJupiter who is in the 9H of fortune & king. 3 This 9H contains Jupiter & Rahu both expansive planet andRahu means international. This 9H is 4 th (throne) from Venus (Music) and 3 rd (singing) from Mars (3Lof singing). Thus he became known as the King Of Pop.This 9H of father has Rahu, so his father would be the cause of his fortune which was exactly thecase, without his father he would not have achieved it. See 9H is also the house of mentor and it is withDragons head - Rahu (cheating/break of relations) and his mentor Quincy Jones was also the cause ofhis great albums and the Dragons head thing happened between them. 9H is also the house of religionand over there the planet of religion Jupiter is sitting and Rahu (change) in Indian astrology showsOther Castes and particularly some astrologers use it to denote Muslims. Thus, Michael changed hisreligion to Islam and towards the end of his life was attracted towards Hinduism. Jupiter is also thesignificator of Children and Rahu denotes cheating and scandals, this is what happened in his life. 9H isthe Resultant House of the 5H of love and children and he was so much in love with children.Dispositors dispositor is a technique that was revealed by Late J N Bhasin and here the dispositor ofJupiter is Venus (women) and it is in the 6H of divorce and legal settlements and loss of money(Venus). This part of the story everyone knows and need not be explained in detail. Thus you can seehow this quick Snap Shot Of Life can be seen by a small forgotten technique of Indian Astrology if onesbasics are strong which normally takes 40-50 years in astrology to achieve.c) Chakrapani’ s Version & Symbology of Western AstrologyFor a second let us truly believe that Shri Chakrapani was given the wrong time of birth, why wouldsomeone go to an astrologer for 20-25 years and give him wrong time of birth plus money to getconsultations, it is unfathomable unless you believe in the nickname Wacko Jacko as he was called. Forsome years we have been studying degrees of the zodiac and the prediction for each individual degree ofthe zodiac. This deserves a very length explanation but in brief it is presented here to highlight only thesuperb form of symbology of Western Astrology so that Indians look into it in detail. Inspite of somany Sages of Indian Astrology, so far we do not have in Vedic astrology a book available to peopleanything from the sages that gives prediction for each individual degree but the sages of westernastrology have done a lot of work in this field and due credit must be given to them. Charubel,Sepharial, Firmicus Maternus, Kozminsky, M C Jain and many others have done work on it and thus ifone wishes to see Michael Jacksons Asc via degrees one must convert it to Tropical Zodiac and one gets10° Pisces 07 ' which is the 11 th Degree of Pisces. The explanation for it given in another workAstrolabium Planum 4 given below for 11 th degree of Pisces.2 Dr K.S.Charak, foremost authority on medical astrology quoted us in a mail citing Uttara Kalamrita as 1H for skin3 9H of king as per western astrology & also Chandra Kala Nadi, an ancient work.4 Astrolabium Planum, one of the most intriguing and enigmatic books written during Renaissance by Johannes Angelus,published in 1488 in Augusta. We referred to a translation of Planum which was translated by R. Turner (15 Jan 1655),foreword given by William Lilly, will try to upload it on our site or you can download it from10

After spending two days of trying to find out what is the meaning of the word ftaffe &finding that connection of it in the arm (written as arme in original) in the above paragraphwe troubled the never give up woman Lorin Cerina – Croatia, Margaret George U.K andfinally John Frawley – Poland, the later is considered the foremost authority on WilliamLillys work, he wrote back….just in case you're not aware of this - the thing that looks like an f is a standard form of printing sin old books, known as the long s. If you look closely, you'll see that it differs from an f in that thecrossbar doesn't go all the way across the upright, but is on only one side of it.The word is staffe (staff in modern spelling). It's a big stick, bigger than a walking-stick, but forthe same purpose. Hence the connection with vagabond - someone who wanders about all the time.Best regards,JohnIt is very important to connect between the words used, connect tothe era when it was written in a text and use it symbolically in yourinterpretation. Due to this factor every astrologers interpretation can varyand give in scope for criticism. What can be one form of interpretation isto imagine if the time of birth given by Chakrapani Ullal is correct and tosee its western astrology symbolism. In ancient times it was the chieftanof the tribe or clan or church head who carried a staff like huge stick tosymbolize that the person was a man of authority. It was like a statementto those around him about his importance. So the point is you need tonot do literal translation but get behind the concept that the 16 th centurytext is trying ‘it is trying to say that staff on the arm was a symbol ofauthority to stand out from the crowd. Now interpret it in moderntimes, you might have noticed that teenagers nowadays wear color bandson their hands to attract attention or to stand out. Now note that the Ascdegree describes that the man will have a kind of a staff on his arm and we allremember that Michael Jackson had a band on his right hand and also awhite glove on his hand which is 3H and giving a white silvery band on his righthand means giving Moon in the 3H of singing where already Mars is there, which means combiningMars Moon and, Mars Moon combo is a famous wealth combination in Vedic Astrology, it happeningin the 3H of singing shows wealth through singing. Did an astrologer guide him on this point and hewas known to visit astrologers. When asked why he wore that band he said it is for the suffering of thechildren of earth, now he has Mars in the 3H and in Indian astrology Mars is ‘Bhumi Putra’ means thechild of the earth. He wore band on hand and the 1H of fame got activated. Offhand note sometimes heused a golden band on his arm, thus activating Sun and the famous Sun Mars Yoga.The main intention of this write up in section is not to prove that the degree of MJ is the correct one asgotten by the 19.33 time but to make the Indian astrologer look and research the texts of the Sages of the West andhttp://heavenastrolabe.net/about-the-stars-of-angelus-astrolabium-planum/ . It is said Johannes Angelus copied it fromIbnezra.11

not ignore them as interpretation of the degrees of the zodiac can be the most important tool in birth timerectification than any other birth time rectification tool.d) Moon is the natural 4 th lord of the zodiac which shows ones reputation and chastity, hence if themoon is spoilt he becomes prone to the accusations of sexual nature, this is a general rule and also if Moon isspoilt in a chart then ones marriage life is not stable if other factors support, additionally if Moon is spoilt one’slife will not be stable. These general principles are oft ignored by the seasoned astrologers is what has beenobserved hence it is being repeated here. Now how is this Moon spoilt?e) If you remember one of our previous publitorials we had mentioned a Sage Bhrighu rule thatSaturn spoils the 4 th from where it is placed, the 4 th house from Saturn is Asc where Moon the 6L ofhealth, debts and court problems is placed. Saturn as the 12L of bed pleasures scandals and also heavykarma from previous life brings that energy with it and spoils the Moon who governs all the factors ofhealth, debts and court cases. Thus you can see that two planets Moon and Saturn can indicate his fulllife story.f) This Moon in turn is spoilt by the 8 th lord of scandals and sexual scandals which in MJs chartfrom Moon Asc is Mercury aspecting the Moon (courts). Thus he was dragged into court for sexualscandals, why children? Since Mercury is the young prince in Indian Mythology whose age is 16 andthus if you see MJ always was dragged to court by children who were around that age. Mercury beingretrograde shows that it is past life karma and it being the 8L of Chronic Bad Karma from the Dark Past(8H is house of darkness) it had to show in front of the world since Mercury is placed in the 7H ofPublic Platform and 7H being the opposite of the 1H it brings out you in front of the people, it beingplaced with a own house placed Sun who is strong there and the natural 5L of children of the zodiac andSuns properties is to exhibit light it brought the whole story in limelight and will always spoil his imagewhether it is true or false.g) Jupiter is significator of children and Dragons Head - Rahu significator of Scandals or sexualscandal at times as pointed out in previous publitorials, both these are in 9H and 5 th house is forchildren, now in any chart 5 th from Jupiter is also the house of children which in MJs chart would be the1H of self where the 6 th lord of litigation Moon is sitting, no doubt he had to face court on this accountof children’s sexual scandal, it being moon can indicate constant regular harassment. A huge interestshould arise in astrologers regarding the chart of MJ since if one takes mean nodes the Dragons Head isin 9H whereas with true nodes it shifts to 8H. This controversial topic is not dealt purposely in thisPublitorialh) Mysterious Death TechniqueOne should not forget a very broad technique for finding out mysterious death will happen or not is‘When North Node – Rahu associates with 8H or 8L or 3H or 3L it can give mysterious death’, this is one of thetechniques and not the only technique. So if true nodes are used then Rahu goes in the 8H of chronicdiseases, sexual scandals and death and that is what Rahu gave him. In MJs case Rahu is in the 8Hgiving mysterious death & Rahu’s 2 nd aspect falls on 8 th lord Mercury. John F Kennedy had his 8H and8L both aspected by Rahu. Marilyn Monroe’s 8 th L Saturn is aspected by Rahu and so is the 8H, herdeath was and is still a mystery. Subhas Chandra Bose the Indian freedom fighter who is dead or nothas not been decided since last few decades had his 8L aspected by Rahu. Bruce Lee died a mysteriousdeath, his 8L Mer is in the 12H with Moon, Mars and Venus, all 3 are in the asterism (nakshatra) ofRahu and the 8H receives the ½ aspect (10 th ) of Rahu. Indira Gandhi’s son Sanjay Gandhi has his 8LSun aspected by Rahu. In chart of Hitler, 2 nd aspect of Rahu falls on the 8H, Rahu’s dispositor Mercuryis with the 8L, Rahu aspects the 3H and 3L, in D9 Rahu is with the 8L Mercury of D9. One must notethat when such a Rahu aspects it can also mean mysterious or chronic diseases death or sudden death orassassination death like in the case of Abraham Lincoln whose North Node –Rahu aspects his 8L Merand 8H. Rahus 2 nd house aspect on 8L Venus in John Lennon’s chart lead to the mysterious uncalled forassassination. For those who use Bhava chalit the dispositor of Rahu has gone into the 8H. One must12

use this technique not for prediction but for verification as before Lordship and aspect techniques Yoga(specific combinations) for an Event is given prominence in Indian Astrology.i) Something Unknown About Saturn – The PhilanthropistWhat interests one in Indian Astrology is usually Sun is known as significator for charity, and inIndian mythology it is the legendary & greatest donor ever called ‘Karna’ who is regarded as the son ofSun. Also known in the planetary mythology is that Saturn is the son of Sun yet he is given thesignificatorship of servants and poverty, hence not associated with charity. Hence here is a smallcontroversial piece of observation ‘Saturn is one of the Biggest Givers’, we use the word givers more thandonators as when Saturn gives he does not usually show pomp and drama unless afflicted. Note thispart about Saturn and also remember that 12H is the house of charity, hence whenever 12H is connectedwith Saturn or 12L is connected with Saturn one can get tendencies of donating without much pomp andshow. Look at the chart of Angelina Jolie, she has Saturn in the 12H and has done lot of charity work 5 .Jackson has 12 th ruler Saturn in the 10H of Karma and Achievements. Here is a quote 6 ‘The Millennium-Issue of the “Guinness Book Of Records” names Michael as the “Pop Star who supports the mostcharity organizations’’, one can find a more detailed time line of his charity work at jacksonaction.com.Bill Gates Saturn is associated with 12 th ruler Venus in 5H. One of the big names in donation is ofAndrew Carnegie, his time of birth is given a DD rating by Lois Rodden, yet if we take it for a second,you would see his 12 th ruler Mercury is with Saturn in the 1H of self name, as a philanthropist, his giftsto civic organizations were estimated at $350 million 7 over his lifetime. One of the team members ofSaptarishis Astrology has Saturn in the 12H and in a way lot of giving happens via him. Once we askedmentor what is the most special trait of Saturn in the 12H, he said ‘you have asked a wise question, such aperson can at times become such a giver that he can sell himself in giving to others, even take loan and give toothers, provided chart combinations (yogas) support it’. Not to forget Rockefeller, John D. Jr. who has a Brating from Lois, his 12L is also Saturn, his father’s the original Philanthropist year of birth is suspecthence not included here as an example.j) One interesting thing about his chart is Jupiter conjoined with North Node (Rahu) in the 9H ofteacher and father. Apart from this Jupiter rules Children and it is with Rahu the planet of scandals, andit sitting in the 9H of Fate and Fortune, thus his fate was marred by children led scandals. Wheneverthe divine planet Jupiter is aspected or in trine to North Node in India students are not taught astrologyby their teachers, this is a general but golden rule. The reason is such a person will go against the teacherwho is signified by Jupiter (Guru) doubly in MJs case as it is placed in the 9H of father and teacher. Hepublicly spoke against the harsh practices of his father’s training. Now when will this native speakagainst his father when Jupiter’s periods are active. This part will be understood well by students ofIndian astrology by a technique called Vimshottari Dasa and it was during the period of Mer-Mer-Jupiter which ran from Nov 92 to Mar 93 that Jackson first spoke openly about his childhood abuse in aninterview with Oprah Winfrey broadcast on February 10, 1993. He said that he had often cried fromloneliness and would sometimes vomit when he saw his father.k) 9H is also the house of Mentor and it having the planet of cheating/deception the North Node(rahu) there will indicate that his relationship with the man who opened his Prosperity (9H-Bhagya)will not last forever and he would severe his relationship with his mentor Quincy Jones who gave himthe success of his albums. Jackson was disappointed by the critical reaction to Bad--despite the album'sfinancial success—and blamed it on decisions made by Jones during the making, and that he ended theirworking relationship at the advice of his advisers.l) When Will Fortune Rise – this is the biggest question in Vedic astrology for which parents cometo vedic astrologer concerned about their child and the toughest to answer. In this regard the BCP5 http://angelinafans.com/charity-work/6http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/113-michael-jackson , http://www.allmichaeljackson.com/charities.html ,http://www.jacksonaction.com/?page=charity.htm7 http://www.astro.com/astro-databank/Carnegie%2C_Andrew13

method that was revealed last year in the 1 st C.S.Patel Memorial Issue (Vol 3) is the easiest and the best.The 9 th house is the house of prosperity and rise of prosperity (Bhagya in Indian astrology), over therethe benefic planet Jupiter is sitting with North Node - Rahu which shows sudden great rise. 9H as perthe BCP method is the 21 st year, 10H is 22 nd and so on. In his 21 st year on 10 th Aug 1979, his 1 st Albumtitled ‘Off The Wall’ was released and he became an instant sensation with the track ‘Don’t stoptill you get enough’ after which there was no stopping Michael, thus you can see how easy it is withBCP to time ‘Start of Prosperity’. You can further note the degree of Rahu and you would get around toalmost the exact date of 10 th Aug 1979 when his album was released 8 .m) North Node (Past Life Desires-Rahu) & Jupiter (religion) in the 9H of religion, will make himchange his view his views on religion as Rahu means Transformation and Pending Issues too from pastlife and it is said he changed his religion to Islam and in his later period of life he was attracted toHinduism it is reported in media.n) Dragons Tail – Ketu – This is Where You Can Immortalize YourselfThis was supposed to be a future article in the BSP-Planet series but is being included here. SageBhrighu method is ‘wherever Dragons Tail (Ketu) sit there you have the possibility ofInstalling Your Flag Of =Your Own Name Forever’ – that is of establishing yourself if theother planets in the chart supports. This can help you plan your life and of your clients. Let’s quicklylook at few charts without illustrations. Jackson has Ketu in the 3H of singing, hands, and shoulderswith the 10L of Career. Apart from his singing his hands and shoulder movement in his dance was tooinnovative and there he established himself what Elvis could not do. Sylvester Stallone has DragonsTail - Ketu in the 1H as per western zodiac so he has Established His Name forever, if you take theIndian zodiac then the ketu is in the 12H of abroad and charity in the 8 th sign of the dark horse and sex.He started his career as the dark horse and his roles were of the dark horse and his name is establishedabroad. He started his career with a semi-porn movie. He has done charity work for Pediatric EpilepsyProject 9 . Similarly Bollywood star had Ketu in the 1H of self, his name cannot be erased and 1H ispersonality, ideals and had huge impact to Martin Luther King and Obama. Elizabeth Kübler Ross hasDragons Tail - Ketu in 11H of attainment, it is aspected by the planet of death Saturn, she didrevolutionary work on death and dying and Dragons Tail - Ketu being in Sagi, the 9 th sign of higherknowledge & Teacher, that’s what she gave a higher knowledge by teaching it to 125,000 studentsworldwide. Hitler had Dragons Tail - Ketu in the 3H of death (secondary house of death) he put hisstamp in the style of death meted out. Elvis had Dragons Tail - Ketu in 9H of Gods aspected by Venusin the 3H of singing; he was considered the God of Rock. Mother Teresa’s time of birth is suspect but ifwe take the commonly known chart of her, it has Dragons Tail - Ketu in the 12H of Charity in the signof Sc, chronic diseases, she did charity work for the destitute, sick and homeless, and thus sheestablished her names flag forever and inspired millions. A young astrologer who gave his jyotishsoftware free also has Dragons Tail - Ketu in the 12H of charity and till he was charging for it he wasnot known but when a mail to him stirred a cord in him, then he gave his software free of charge andhas become known now thereby establishing his name. Paramhansa Yogananda has Dragons Tail - Ketuin the 3H of Libra (resultant house of knowledge) and its lord has gone in the 4H of knowledge. 3H isthe house of writing and his Autobiography of a Yogi is and will remain an unmatched spiritual classicthat everyone picks up in his path to understand Indian Spirituality. Jawaharlal Nehru had DragonsTail - Ketu in the 6H of fighting with Jupiter the 9L of Rulers. He is known as having fought with theBritishers and helped Gandhi get our freedom. 3H is also the house of servants as per Sage Parasara,Abraham Lincoln had Dragons Tail - Ketu in the 3H he ended slavery in America and established hisname forever. 4H is the house of Home Land, Gandhi had Ketu in the 4H of homeland and he freed ourland from British Empire and thus established his name. 9H is the house of righteousness (Dharma),higher knowledge, religion and Guru, Lord Krishna has various charts floating around but most scholarsagree for Taurus Asc and Ketu in the 9H, he established Righteousness and religion and became Guru of8 For further details on how to use the degree of Rahu to time the date of the event you can refer to our Vol 4 issue the ‘ThyNotes article’9 http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/342-sylvester-stallone14

Gurus to Arjuna his student and gave us the great work on righteousness and higher knowledge calledGita.Help direct your clients in how they can establish themselves but please do not forget to warnthem that wherever Ketu sits there ‘One Major Mistake’ will happen, there is no 99% in this.o) Dial M for MichaelThere is a secret system not known to Indian Astrologers on using the 9 Planets incorrespondence to the starting letter of one’s name. For e.g. names starting with R stands forMoon and so does S for Moon, A is denoted by Sun & M is signified by Saturn and so on.Whenever one sees a chart this method should be used in the backdrop and you should see your clientsname and the planet signified by it should be marked in memory while seeing the chart, at a later datewill provide a complete article on it. This planet signified by the starting letter will usually be strong orimportant in the chart, will give you hints about the ‘Life Path Of the Individual’ & if followed wellalong with support of planets can give ‘Immortality’. Do not ignore this method at all.Now Michael name starts with the letter M and it stands for Saturn which in Jackson’s case isthe Asc lord in the 10H thereby making it doubly strong, is the significator of singing in JaiminiAstrology (being BK) and being the 12 th lord in the 10H of career it shows this life is a result of a verydeep past life desire to become a star. Also as it is the 12L of bed pleasures and sex life, being placed inthe 10H of career he should have been careful not to allow anything on his sexuality to come out in theopen. Saturn as the 12H lord of feet and Asc Lord of body, his body and feet movements werecharacteristic and phenomenal.Quickly see chart of Michael Angelo, M stands for Saturn it is the 3L of hands, painting andsculpting and it is placed in the 7H of Lime-Light, which is what we did in life. Madonna starts with Mand her Saturn is placed in the 4H of fortune and chastity in the sign of Scorpio (sex & hidden things,change of religion) aspecting her 10H of Taurus (2H of voice), she used extreme sensuality in her videosto stand out among the crowd of pop singers. SA team’s one volunteers fathers name starts with M andit is the 8L of Aq in the 10H with Mars in Aries (body). 8H is chronic diseases and Aries is body, thegentleman has paralysis of whole body. Paramhansa Yogananda the man who wrote the immortalclassic ‘Autobiography of a Yogi’ is known as Yogananda and Y stands for Moon, which is in his 1H ofLeo (5h of natural zodiac and the house of authorship) and this Moon is the 12L of spirituality placed inthe Asc, so he gave the world something new on spirituality never to be forgotten. Elvis is E and it isruled by Sun who is his 10H of profession, which is placed in the 2H of voice of Elvis Presley with 11L ofgains, he gained money due to his profession. K N Rao is a very old Indian astrologer, the word K standsfor Mars in his Asc with 8L of occult Venus & 10L of profession and fame Moon who is dispositor ofexalted Jupiter, he is the most famous writer on mystic Indian astrology in last 100 years. Note thisMars of K is the 2 nd lord of speech and correct predictions (Vak Siddhi), Mr K N Rao is known as thefinest predictor in recent times. If you speak of Mr Rao you can’t not speak of Dr B.V.Raman thelongest serving editor of an astrological magazine, some people call him B V Raman and some calledhim Raman but mainly it is B V Raman, now B stands for Saturn and R for Moon, both are placed in his4H of education (Vidya) which he spread and was famous for it. Moon is 6L so he was famous for warpredictions successful on World War 1 & 2.p) Year Of DeathUse Progression the BCP way as mentioned in Vol 3 & 4, which is 1H 1 st year, 12H is 12 th year of life,again rotate it and 12H will be 24 th year, 36, 48 and so on. Michael died on June 25 2009 which will be his51 st year. Now 51-48(last cycle of 12) = 3H – ‘Focus House for the Year’. Now see the planets in his 3H,Mars – the significator of diseases, accidents and mysterious death (natural 8 th lord of zodiac) andDragons Tail - Ketu (Ketu) - significator of accidents, untimely death, ghosts, spirits and black magic.All this in the 3H which is the secondary house of Death (8 th from 8 th house). Venus sits in the 6H ofaccidents and shows drug overdose 10 and this Ven was in Transit on this 3H along with Tr Mars10 Venus in Indian Mythology shows herbs (Sanjeevani) which revive from death like situation but it going in a bad houselike 6H (6,8,12 are termed as bad houses in a chart in Indian astro) will show problems due to drugs (herbs).15

thereby activating 3H of death, also ‘Simultaneously’ being activated by Rahu in the 10 th from it which isthe 12H of exit thereby giving him an exit in life. Ketu shows ghosts and it is reported in media that hisghost was cited at numerous occasions.q) Moon Walk – With Moon in the Asc and 12L of legs Saturn in the 10H of ‘Trade Mark’ in thewatery sign of Scorpio – his Moon Walk became his trade mark and it was as if his feet were of Jelly.How and when will he perform we would look but for those who came in late here is what is Moonwalk. The moonwalk or backslide is a dance technique that presents the illusion of the dancer beingpulled backwards while attempting to walk forward. A breakdancing move, it became popular aroundthe world after Michael Jackson executed it during a performance of "Billie Jean" on Motown 25:Yesterday, Today, Forever on March 25, 1983. It subsequently became his signature move, and is now oneof the best-known dance techniques in the world. Now on March 25 th 1983 11 Michael would be in his 25 thyear which be 1 st house as per BCP Progression of one house per year. 1H is the Asc whose lord Saturnas such signifies the legs and it is placed in the 10H of highest achievement and also 10H of knees,Saturn is also the 12L of legs in the 10H, also ‘where Saturn sits man will come to his knees’ this hadbeen revealed in one of our previous commentaries or better put for this chart there would be a kneejerk. Note the sign where this 25 th year Saturn is sitting it is Scorpio, a powerful watery sign, his feetwill move like water, akin to gliding on water and so in his 25 th year he performed what was termed as aMaster Move that won everyone’s heart and you can watch the videohttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moonwalk_%28dance%29 after the moon walk he just did that a kneejerk, bending on his knees.r) 8L of sexuality being Mercury who is considered a neuter gender in Indian Astrology, in theinitial years the common thought he is neuter gender and has a sexuality problem or has done a sexchange.s) Mars and Ketu in the 3H of singing gave him the aggressiveness in his voice whilst Moon in his1H saw to it that he still had the feminine flavor in him and his voice. Moon here made him like amother to all and made him distribute his money to 39 charities world over.t) Mars is the 8L of the natural zodiac of male sexual organ and it is placed in the 3H of hands, histrade mark became his hand catching of the crouch though he was no great looker but still men womenidolized him world over with his aggressiveness on screen. The way MJ used his hands (Mars Ketu) andfeet (Saturn) no entertainer till date has been able to do so.u) Pepsi Ascendant1H is head and if one fine tunes the 1H represents the area above the face i.e. the skull where the hair isplaced, over there in the 1H of hair 6 th lord of accidents Moon is placed in the sign of Aquarius which isruled by Saturn so Moon and Saturn are two most important planets, the periods of these two in combocan give accidents to the hair, skull. All Vedic astrologers use a system of timing events calledVimshottari Dasa and on January 27, 1984 Jackson was running Saturn Main Period with Moon SubPeriod & Saturn sub-sub period when during the shooting pyrotechnics accidentally set Jackson's hairon fire. He suffered second-degree burns to his scalp. Jackson underwent treatment to hide the scars onhis scalp, and he also had his third rhinoplasty shortly thereafter. Saturn is the 12L of hospitalizationplaced in the sign of Scorpio indicating that it will be chronic. Incidentally in Vedic astrology Saturn isthe significator of hair and he was running Saturn-Moon-Saturn. You may note how many timesSaturn has repeated in the above periods when accident happened and also we mentioned earlier thatSaturn is the Philanthropist, you see Pepsi settled out of court for the accident and Jackson donated his$1.5 million settlement to the Brotman Medical Center in Culver City, California, which now has a"Michael Jackson Burn Center" in honor of his donation. So eventually this Saturn that gave him the11 Somewhere on net it says May 16 th 1983 this move was first performed, still it becomes 25 th year, our source is wikipedia16

accident did make him give back to the society, you can’t sue and take the money home, it is neveryours is the common mans saying hence Saturn makes you return that money back to the masses(masses significator is also Saturn).Asc has Aq ruled by Saturn and Moon in it, the two colors for these planets are blue for Saturnand white for Moon. Michael often wore blue color shirts with white T-shirt in his videos, do youremember the super hit ‘The Way You Make Me Feel’ video of his song.How to Unlock Karmav) Now 3H is the house of ‘UnLocking Of the 10H of Karma’ and this aspect is not known, what is 3Hit is the house of one’s actions (hands) and the house of free will and it is only with your actions andfree will you Unlock your Karma hence the 3H is the house of Unlocking of Karma. So planets in the3H and 3L can help you Unlock Your Karma and help you achieve Karma for which you are born. Thisaspect of the 3H is something new for Indian Astrologers but it works. Now see in natural zodiac Marsthe 8L of crouch and occult & dark forces is in the 3H with Dragons Tail - Ketu (Ketu) which alsosignifies Ghosts. This combination fortified the ghost element. It is sitting in the 3H of short walks andtravelling and so it is only when he had a short walk with a girl near a crematorium (Ghosts-Ketu) andwhen he danced with the ghosts his Karma was Unlocked and the whole world sang Thriller. Ketu alsosignifies ‘Changes’ and if you remember the video of Thriller his face changed to a ghost (Ketu) andthat’s what did it for Jackson for his career as Ketu and Mars is in the 1H of Face but unfortunately thiskept on happening in his whole life.Pending Karma or Why You are BornIndian Astrology claims to be very karma centric and from 10,000 years of history of Indian astrology allstudents will be told at the start of their astro studies that Indian Astrology helps you see your Karma,to help you move ahead in your cycle of re-births to the next level. But unfortunately one spends 50-70years in astrology and cannot find a single reliable technique by which the student can see his pendingkarma or what is that one or many thing pending in his life for which he is born. This form of foolingthe students has continued since generations and by the time one is 10 yrs old in Indian Astrology onestops thinking or asking this most vital question.Now there are many hidden techniques of finding out what is the Pending Karma in the most ancientform of astrology which is Bhrighu Astrology and only one of them is revealed here for the first time.Make no mistake that it is a ‘General Technique’. One should test it on known charts of atleast 20 beforeventuring further.The Unknown Pending Karma Technique of Sage Bhrighu‘Wherever the 6 th Lord in a natal chart sits or the Planets in the 6H indicate the Pending Karma ofthis Life that must be Crossed to go to the Next Cycle of Birth’. This is the Block that must becleared & wiped out in This Life. This is the thing that will always Stop your Progress and Hauntyou in this life’.One must use this as a broad technique as this is not the only technique to find out pending karma, useit intelligently combining other tools and from various ascendants various things will be shown. Also ifthere is a planet in the 6H then see it is lord of which all houses and what it disposits, see the planetsbasic significations. Even though this technique is simple it can only be used by an expert who is masterof houses, planets and house significations – if you are not widely read then don’t use this technique norjudge it – make no mistake about what we have written above.MJ Chart & Pending Karma17

See in his 6H the planet of Music & Entertainment Venus is placed, his pending karma was to sing andentertain. It being in the sign of Cancer it shows that it was very creative as it’s a watery sign. Whodoes Venus disposit, it disposits the 9H of Father and Mentor, his pending karma was with his fatherand his Mentor Quincy Jones. At the same time Venus is womenfolk and some of his female friendswere very close to him, whom he helped out financially thus his pending karma was towardsthem. Venus is also Money and Wealth and whatever sits in the 6H one tends to lose or let go. He letgo of a lot of money for charities and eventually he got into further debts since 6H is the house of debts.Coming back Venus disposits the 9H where Jupiter (children) and North Node (Rahu-Scandals), hisKarma was pending towards these children where he got into scandal and also other world childrenwhom he loved as it was his Pending Karma.Now where is his 6L placed, it is right in his 1H of self. These diseases, accidents and facial changes allwere his Pending Karma and it had to happen. Now if you read BSP-15 that is revealed in this issue inthe Indian section you will notice that the technique of where Venus sits it gives medical expenses andcan at times indicate death. Venus is in the 6H of diseases his medical expenses were phenomenal andVenus is in the 4H of medicines and 4 th sign of heart. He died due to drug over-dose and due to finalheart failure (4 th H and sign Cancer indicates heart). As the 6L is Moon who is lord of the sign Cancerand heart, he was considered most compassionate and as a mother to several children, why so, since it isthe 6L of Pending Karma and thus he was most compassionate, the one with a lonely heart as that washis pending karma.Let us see few more examples:-18

Elisabeth Kübler-RossElisabeth Kübler-Ross, M.D. (July 8, 1926 – August 24, 2004) was a Swiss-born psychiatrist and theauthor of the groundbreaking book On Death and Dying, where she first discussed what is now known asthe Kübler-Ross model. She is a 2007 inductee into the National Women's Hall of Fame. She was therecipient of twenty honorary degrees and by July 1982 had taught, in her estimation, 125,000 students indeath and dying courses in colleges, seminaries, medical schools, hospitals, and social-work institutions.Now use the Sage Bhrighu method of Pending Karma and you can see how beautifully it worksin this chart. The lady did original work on Death and Dying and became world famous, see the planetin 6H it is the planet of communication and writing Mercury who is the 8L of death, she wrote groundbreak work on Death and Dying. Now see the 6L it is Moon – she was a psychiatrist, they deal with themind, this Moon is in the 5H of authorship – she wrote the groundbreaking book Death and Dying, it iswith Sun the natural zodiac lord of authorship and real knowledge and life giver. She gave new life tothe concept of death and dying, this 6L Moon is with Rahu and rahu is the underworld and dark thingssignificator, death is considered a dark subject in most cultures. Thus you can see how Sage Bhrighusrule of Pending Karma works so well in her chart, in some charts it will not be too obvious until weknow the full story of the person so it’s no use speculating it on a chart which is only 30-40 years old.Sylvester Stallone – It Ain’t Over Yet19

They say if you work in the Hollywood or Bollywood industry you will not like the celebs, youwon’t be in awe of them and this was the case with us and we were not at all impressed with SlyStallone who just seemed like any other fame hungry guy who is in Hollywood until one reads aboutthis man in a book by a Sage and it seems this man was in demand back there in the Himalayas and thepeople there seems to think that Stallone has done a great service to mankind. Why ? Since this mantaught USA and the world to ‘Never Think Anything is Impossible’ ‘To Fall and Get Up, But Get Up’.When we researched on the net and talked to few oldies in the west they said that Stallone’s Rockytaught you that even though you are the underdog, even if you are a nobody just don’t give up, if youfall in life you make the fastest comeback and win the heart of your enemies. Generations have grownon the Rocky Series, each learning to fight with life’s impossible circumstances just the way Rocky didand as they say Rocky was made for Stallone and no one else could do it, he wrote it and did not get goeven when he had few dollars left in his pocket.Now use Sage Bhrighus 6H rule, over there sits Rahu the planet of Cinemas, the 6L is Venus aplanet of entertainment in the 8H of the Underdog and the Dark Horse, who is with the 3L of actingSaturn and hands and with Mercury, the natural lord of hands and pending karma and this Mercury isalso the 10L of profession and the 7L of public limelight and so it was his boxing (hands) movie thatgave him the famous name of the Italian Stallion and his phenomenal left punch (11L of left hand – isthe same 6L Venus of Pending Karma). All this energy in 8H with Saturn aspects his 5H of acting andthus the man who became John Rambo – the forgotten dark horse went on to create history as the20

Let us see the Pending Karma of Mahatma Gandhi, Father of India Nation. 6 th Lord is Jupiter, and weall know that Jupiter means Guru, the one who shows the way and light to his students. Jupiter is alsothe 9L of Father in natural zodiac and thus here in the case of Gandhi it is in the 7H of Public Life. Thushe became the Father of the nation, showing the way to the whole nation and the world. His teachingsare still followed worldwide and he inspired revolutions from Martin Luther King to the currentObama. Now this is for Indians, Jupiter as a planet is categorized as a Brahmin – caste which is ascholarly class and does not fight and loves to eat. Jupiter here is retrograde so it will show somequalities of a normal Jupiter and some of a retrograde and he showed here his quality of non-violence,scholarly works and as it is retrograde he created his system of fasting. If he fasts for a cause theBritishers would throw him in jail, then he would fast again in jail and the Britishers would be forced tothrow him out of jail. What a way he showed.Barack Obama – The KingIn his 6H there is Venus and the 6 th lord Mer is placed in the 7H of ‘Public Life’. It is placed with Sunwhich signifies Govt and is the King of the Planetary Cabinet, so he got the position of the King of22

Earth (US President is considered the most powerful man) and this sun is the 8L of suddenness, whichis what happened to him. Now who is there in the 6H it is Venus which means money, so it was duringa time of economic recession he was the chosen one, now see the lordship of this Venus, it is the 10L ofGovt and 5L of power, this is what has happened in his life and this is what is his Pending Karma. Comeback to his 6L it is aspected by Saturn and Jupiter, which means he must take care of the common man(Saturn) and also the affluent (Jupiter) and as this Jupiter is the 12L of previous karma, this 6L is furtherfortified by Jupiter’s aspect. See the whole chart from Moon as the Asc, the 6L is Venus placed in the2H of administration from the moon and in the 2H of speech. He rose to power due to his speeches(more so as it is in the sign of Gemini- communication) and got into the most affluent administration ofall (Venus is affluence). This was his pending karma and you can see this is happening in the 4H ofeducation or for those who take 2H as primary education, he is doing reforms there in the educationfield – again his pending karma. You can use the natural zodiac of Aries Asc and see that his 6L isMercury sitting in the 4H of Throne with Sun the King and he is no doubt sitting in the seat of theKing.Abraham Lincoln – Father of USAHe needs no introduction, from astro point of view his time of birth is suspect. So as we don’thave his exact time of birth let us look at his chart in this broad technique from Moon Asc and NaturalZodiac Asc which is from Aries Asc. From Moon Asc his 6H is empty and its lord Mer who is thenatural lord of 3H in zodiac which as you read in this article 3H is the house of ‘Unlocking Of KarmaThrough Actions’ and it is with Sun (King of Planets) in 2H of administration, thus he became thePresident of United States. He successfully led his country through its greatest internal crisis, theAmerican Civil War, preserving the Union and ending slavery.Now look from the natural Asc which is Aries and the 6L will always be Mer (use this hint forall charts) and it is with Sun the King in the 11H of Accomplishments of Desires & Power. This is onlybeing spoilt by Saturn whose 4 th aspect spoils this Sun Mer combination of Power. It was duringSaturn/Mer period he got assassinated if we take the B rating given by ADB, thus you can see howSaturn spoilt this Mercury (Pending Karma) combination by giving death in Saturn/Mer period.23

George Lucas – Star Wars Film maker6H is vacant but the 6L is Mercury the planet of communication in 1H (whole life) and with planetVenus the planet of entertainment and magnanimous wealth. So he communicated via his movieswhich were big budgets. The lord of this Venus Mer conjunction is Mars (wars-fighting) and isconjoined Dragons Head (Rahu- Movies) and thus he made movies of the unknown (Dragons Head-Rahu) which were huge and big movies (it is with Jupiter who is also expansive). This was his pendingkarma.24

With the Indian Zodiac Chart 6H is empty and 6L Mars has gone into the 11H of highest achievements.Some ancient texts give a clue on singers but mostly scared and confusingGarga Hora Chapter 12 Verse 12481248. The Sun, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn in the 11th house: will be truthful, be chief in hisrace, be very wise and be skillful in singing.Garga Hora Chapter 4 Verse 298298. Jupiter, Venus, Saturn in the 3rd house: interested in singing, be not sinful, be interested inwomen's wealth, be prosperous, will locate hidden treasures, be dear to young women, and will be firmin friendship.Let’s see again 6L of pending karma has gone into the 11H whose lord Mercury has gone in the 2H ofspeech and is with Sun the King of Planets, he was called the King. But still the pending karma is not soeasily seen and crystal clear. Now use Western ZodiacWestern Zodiac – Elvis PresleyThe 6H is empty and the 6 th lord (owner) is Venus the planet of entertainment and performance, it is inthe 2H of voice with Sun (The King & natural 5 th lord of performer in the natural zodiac) and isconjoined with Mercury, the singer and communicator and natural 3 rd lord of singing. The dispositor ofthis 2H is Saturn who is in the 3H of singing with North Node (Rahu) the natural planet of immortalityand the groovy planet, his songs were groovy and one would go round and round about him. He had thecapability of making you drunk over him and his songs without drinking at all. This was his pendingKarma which he completed and which is the job of the astrologer to prescribe and unlock. Thus you cansee that in this particular chart of Elvis, it is more easier to use the Tropical (Sayana) zodiac to decipherhis Pending Karma than the Indian Zodiac or better it is to combine both for e.g. a Gemini Asc withIndian zodiac will have 6L Mars in the 9H of Guru, Teacher and Higher Knowledge and this nativesaim is to spread higher knowledge in jyotish and his pending karma was to serve his guru.26

If we take the same chart via the western zodiac the Asc comes as Cancer and the 6L of Pending Karmais Jupiter in the 8H of occult and astrology in the sign of Aquarius, the native has been successful inbringing to light some rare hidden knowledge and manuscripts freely to the Astrology world, why sosince Jupiter is a planet of Light and where it sits it brings light to the house, whereas 8H of occult is adark & hidden house and here Jupiter brought out (light) the hidden knowledge in astrology unknownso far to the astrology world right into the outside world. So you combine both and you would safer, atthe same time it is easier to predict even for us when a known celeb chart is given to us but on unknowncharts that easily it is not decipherable – only experience is the best teacher.Inability to Predict – Pre-Release of Publitorials a practice the Publitorial is not shared before release with even the core team members exceptMentor. This time we made an exception and shared it with some friends wanting toAunderstand their view point on some of the controversial points of the Publitorial. Presented27

here is an ICAS 12 teacher, a voracious teacher, unbiased individual and one of the most novel researchersin modern astrology. His response to the Publitorial is reproduced here with his permission.Dear S,1) At the outset the editorial is really excellent. After reading this I would admit that I do not know thereal astrology.2) My opinion is there is nothing in this editorial to be edited or removed. But it has become verylengthy and people may lose interest/track in reading it. If possible try to make it a two part. One partcan be article on "unlocking the karma".3) Please go through the incident I am narrating here. On December 25th 1998 one person as a regularroutine started to go for morning walk at around 6:00 AM. As the climate was very chilly he woresweater and covered his face except eyes with muffler to beat the cold. After walking for sometime onecar came and stopped in front of him from back side and the person driving the car was shouting at himwith anger. Without knowing the mistake he committed he asked the man why he was shouting. Thenthe man came out of the car and said why you tried to misbehave with my wife when she went formorning walk. By this time one lady came out of the car and told her husband that this is the personwho caught her from back side when she was walking. Failing to understand what was happening tohim this person (who went for walk) tried to convince them the he is not the one who misbehaved withthe lady and probably she had mistaken identity and mistook him for someone and try to think twicebefore blaming someone for no fault. But the lady and her husband were firm and sure about the person.This story did not stop here and both the parties trying to prove their point. The lady gave a policecomplaint on the person she identified for his mis behavior. The other side is the person was in a veryrespectable post and he had a proven track record and none of his acquaintances believed that he coulddo such thing. Every one supported him and some of the lady colleagues went and spoke to the lady whohad lodged the complaint and persuaded her to withdraw the complaint. Though the lady accepted to hiscolleagues that she may be wrong but she does not want to withdraw the complaint as she was afraid ofher husband as he may take her to task for wrong identification.Ultimately the person got rid of the complaint by the involvement of a very senior police officer withthe help of his boss. The person was unnecessarily involved in this scandal for no fault of his. Here thelady also cannot be blamed as she had mistaken the identity. But the mental agony the native had wasenormous.Can u guess who the person is? Its' me.DOB: 26-08-1968 TOB: 09:44a.m POB: Hyderabad. I have Rahu in the 6th house. 6th lord Jupiter is inthe 11th house (Leo) in the star of Venus. I was running Rahu - Venus dasa. Venus is Lagna lord andposited in the 11th house. If we go by BCP method I was 30 years old at that time so my 6th house has tooperate in the 30 th year. [SA: Going into it minutely the event is 4 months past 30 but still Rahu will operate dueto 12 th aspect of Rahu]Why I narrated this is whether you can link the unlocking karma for this incident.Regards,K.12 ICAS – Indian Council of Astrological Studies founded by Late Dr Raman28

Post mortem is always easy but let us answer to Mr. K’s query as to how to see pending karma.First and foremost pending karma is not one but obviously many and in many areas of one’s life. The 6 thhouse has Rahu, if he is an astrologer he is not an astrologer from this life but from previous life 13 and itis his deepest desire to be a great astrologer (sign is Pisces), apart from that the 6L is Jupiter(knowledge) goes in the 11H of Jyotisha (astrology) in the sign of Leo (author) with Sun Mercury,seeing this we have encouraged him to become a writer and his articles have created history so far. Nowsee the sexual scandal, the 6H has Rahu that is Dragons Head and that denotes scandal as such and it isin the 12 th sign which signifies bed pleasures and sex so again something to do with that can happen.Then see 6L has gone in the 11H with Sun (Govt/boss) and Venus (woman) and Mercury (colleagues)with A8 (scandals) and this Venus is the 8L of scandals. It was his boss (Sun) who called up seniorpolice officers (Sun) and with help of colleagues (Mercury) that the problem (Venus) got solved. Thiswas his pending karma that he had to face unfortunately. Also since 11H is that of wife and children,13 One can note the charts of some astrologers like K.N.Rao they will have Rahu/Ketu in the 6H.29

either he must have gotten married or have had a child and after some time this scandal wouldhave erupted in his life, we don’t know re the same but will have to check. What we must admit isthough we had this chart since one year we could ourselves not see this scandal pending karma since thenative is one of the straightest men we have ever known and only thing that we saw was his pendingkarma of an astrologer and writer that’s it. Technique no doubt works to the T but every timeapplicability with 100 % accuracy only a Sage can do and let us astrologers start admitting it for a start.Also what must be added here is though the chart holder says after reading this editorial that he realizedhe does not know astrology, our posting the verbatim letter with his permission is not to show to theworld that teachers of astrology are below us or we above them in knowledge. If only we at SaptarishisAstrology could be allowed by our families to tattoo on our hands ‘I Do Not Know Astrology’ it wouldbe one of those honest & most cherished moments in our life. May our Epitaph have it.The moment more amount of astrologers come to know of a technique the planets who areconstantly creating & have consciousness come up with new methods to decode and deliver their resultsthereby making the task of astrologers difficult, this is an unknown secret but that is the reason one ofthe sages like Parasara said around 3000 years back that even great sages 14 cannot easily decipher themovement and results of the planets.C.S.Patel Manuscript Centric IssueNow comes that part which an editor or publisher dreads, you as a publisher or editor or head ofan organization needs to appear publicly as the goody goody guy who can never get personal orattack anyone or any concept personally and can’t be expected to write anything apart fromtechnical astrology. If you follow this you will become acceptable in all quarters and other organisationswill call you abroad and all over India and by the end of your life felicitate you which every editorwants. But no one wants to take the issue of astrology that will make the ‘Real Change’. No one wantsto do the ‘Dirty Job’, no one has so far. No one wants to call a spade a spade and take the bull by the hornsince it is considered bad manners and more enemies are born and at the end of the day no awards, nofelicitations by Indian and Foreign organisations or no one will call you for lectures by which you canmake more money. Here at this crossroad where our image so far has been the goody-goody guys wemust take a bold step for what we stand for and believe in and to put the money where our mouth is. Itis for this reason we started Saptarishis Astrology and not for doing PR services and pleasing everyone.So in this issue the Publitorial will be divided into 2 parts one where the Western cum Indian astrologercan understand and the 2 nd part where more of the Indian astrologers will be able to understand but thewestern astrology astrologer is requested to also read that for some rare points on technical astrology. Sonow we must talk & understand the meaning of Knowledge.1.1 Process of Knowledge DisseminationIt takes one to be fortunate to realize that by the end of our lifetimes we are not able to even masterone single work 15 (book) of a Sage or ancient writer and the maximum that is available in Englishlanguage is around 20 classics out of which the modern astrologer has read utmost 2 classics that tooeven after 20 years in this subject. Forget mastering them. We once read an interview of a very famousVaranasi astrologer in Hindi (national language of India) who said the problem in astrology is it is ascience of extreme hard work since the available literature in astrology that needs to be read is around3000 books (in Hindi) who has the time for it, most start shop after 15 books. Can you see the numbersdifference between what an English reading Indian astrologer and a Hindi reading Indian astrologer is ?The English reading Indian astrologer is the most poorly read, having non-classical basis, no true guruand has to resort to intuition for predictions or websites where he can alter his mundane astrology14 He mentioned Sage Vasishtha and Brihaspati in his verse.15 Mentor has a more extreme and honest view, he says understanding a single verse of a Sage can take lifetimes if one islucky. His view is not of arrogance this, scholars of astrology who have pursued it with honesty will agree.30

predictions after the event has happened and show it as if he predicted it before hand, a practicefollowed nowadays.1.2 Minds Don’t Want Knowledge To Come OutThe process of knowledge dissemination is the most difficult in astrology not because it is acomplex subject but due to the mentality of those associated with astrology. Famous astrologerstry their level best not to allow knowledge to come out, this is most unfortunate yet true parteven among the legends of astrology whom we students have idolized and when we come to know thereal truth about these Legends we feel ashamed that we idolized them since these were the ones whohoarded good quality knowledge and manuscripts and only wanted to become the Modern Fathers ofAstrology to achieve fame. Whereas in the West it is far easier for knowledge to come out, if you haveastro knowledge in the west, you sell it via classes, lectures, teach per hour or through books and youcharge fees towards it but atleast the knowledge and experience of the astrologers goes out to the world.Most western students of this science hence stick to teachers from their continent due to this and ease ofaccent and non-judgmental nature of their western teachers. Over here in India the mentality of thosewho hoard knowledge is to make students their slaves and still not give out the full knowledge unlessthe student is a celeb or a Richie-rich guy or a woman, preferably a beautiful woman. For generations oftraditions in astrology grew with certain norms and rules to safe guard their knowledge and thus theirinterests to not allow their neighbor astrologer to earn more claiming that it is to be given to only thedeserving. But now a new trend has arisen in India, to give out tradition secrets when only invitedabroad & minor ones in India or give those traditional big secrets when one can charge hugedollars in courses to their Pets (chamchas in Indian language). They swear by traditional secrecy but itcomes out when $ is flashed or when a woman student comes in. All of us have seen so many teachersfalter to this problem and it is natural, as at the end of the day all of us are humans and who doesn’t like$. None of us are holier than thou.1.3 Availability of KnowledgeMost of the astrological knowledge is held in manuscripts which are either in Latin, Greek,Sanskrit and likewise other ancient texts. The need of the hour since last 100 years of dyingexperts in these languages is to translate them into English the most universal language andthen to test that knowledge on hundreds of charts and then find out what is our lacking inunderstanding that verse or aphorism. Let us give an example there was one of the most brilliant ofastrologers in India somewhere in the 6 th century called Varahamihira who wrote a monumental piece ofwork called Brihat Jataka but at the end he wrote that he has coded all the verses in that text. From thenon till now millions of Indian astrologers have studied his work and 100’s have translated this samework but it was only one man in the early 20 th century who gave a new meaning to one of the versesfrom the said work on which we wrote an article called ‘The 19 th Verse’ in the 2 nd issue (volume 2). Itwas ignored and left out by scholars in the 20 th century due to rivalry. But that verse has so much ofhidden knowledge that we ourselves have been able to write on it only on one part and it reveals a newsystem of timing events but still there are more than 10 articles and techniques that can be derived fromit, admin work takes up our time and the pain of not writing on those hidden methods in that 19 th verse.So you see what the original writer wrote in the 6 th century, his work easily available but the truemeaning of the verse took around 1500 years to come by and then the process will start of aggressivelytesting it and then after some 40-50 years it will either be accepted as a dictum or rejected, which meanseven we can be wrong. This is the case of where the manuscript was available. What about thetechniques where the manuscript is not available at all.1.4 Non-Availability of KnowledgeHere comes the part where a lot of knowledge is available in manuscripts but no one takes theeffort to bring it out. If you bring it out no one will appreciate it and infact will see to it thatyou don’t bring it out. The way they go about discouraging you cannot even be mentioned inthis space. The astrologers in India are one of the poorest; few lots lack funds but most lack theinspiration on their own and the willingness to give out those manuscripts. With millions of31

manuscripts lying untouched in every city library in India no one cares for them but everyone cries forthem, this is our state. One will easily see in a discussion between 2 astrologers that people don’t removeknowledge out but the knowledge those 2 astrologers have will not be removed due to some secrecy lawthat they themselves cannot explain or comprehend. Publishers in India have failed in their efforts tobring out even 1% of these manuscripts into the public limelight and the maximum we can see is 30-40quality classics coming out in India in last 100 years in English with poorest of commentaries except afew and not so apt translations due to complexities of ancient languages which give multiple meanings.As such publishing in India is not a profitable business. People can say that inspite of their being morethan 10,000 astro organisations in every lane of India which is true and no exaggeration and 1000s oftrusts being formed by astrologers in the name of astrology by famous astrologers not a single one ofthem can be credited to bring out 5 quality manuscripts with commentaries out for the general astroaudience. If we say this, then all will become our enemies but someone has to start with the dirty job,how does one inspire organisations especially international organisations to bring out translations ofmanuscripts? The problem is worse in International Vedic Organisations who have not been able tocontribute in translation of manuscripts inspite of having better Sanskrit scholars abroad who are morededicated, honest and meticulous in their job. We can only request that this piece of Publitorial inspiresthem to come forward in this, do joint ventures with Indian counter parts. Their complaint of notgetting manuscripts can be no longer a complain since Saptarishis Astrology volunteers and friendshave already uploaded numerous manuscripts and let us tell you this is just a start. The other problemfaced by many is the amount of red tapeism and bureaucratic hurdles one faces while getting manuscriptfrom libraries across India. Traditions that have manuscripts are a joke in the name of astrologyas they have not understood the meaning of Knowledge (Gyaan) since if they had they would havefreely given away those manuscripts and not hoarded it themselves. The only man to impress us so farwas Shri Madura Shastry from a village in India (Andhra) who said ‘This knowledge is not mine, itbelongs to the Sages. The Sages worked for the common man and this must be given out to the people’.He has over 50 years distributed and donated rarest of rare manuscripts, no one like him. He is theKarana 16 of Astrology.1.5 Purpose Of Knowledge (Gyaan)Why do you need knowledge since ‘The Main Reason behind Unhappiness is InsufficientKnowledge’. Actually the correct translation might not come out in previous sentence so forIndians here it is ‘Dukha Ka Main Karan Hota Hain Agyaan’. This is what mentor hasalways taught us. Our own concept of knowledge was perverted and limiting since we grew up in Indiawhere every senior astrologer and teacher teaches you that you must not give away astro informationeasily. They teach you by example that you must make the student suffer, beg before you and worshipyou before it is given, but still don’t give it to all who do the begging and worshipping. They put a lot ofmyth and superstition to it and quote the verses of Sages. In 2006 this perversion took extreme formwhen we would write in forums or speak to our best friends in coded language and never give out a fulltechnique. Even our hand written notes in text books were coded in such a manner that anyone whoborrows our books (borrowing books happens a lot in India) will not be able to understand it. Now weourselves can’t decode what we coded. Later we found out that this happens to most astrologers. But itwas only when we re-read the Last Book of Astrology, where the old Sage compares two forms ofknowledge. He says what great miracle can astro information do, it can make some astrologer predictbetter or solve a humans difficulties by apt guidance. Then the Sage says that look at the man whoinvented the medicine for Polio, do we even remember his name, no we don’t. He says today a by-passoperation of the heart can be done since someone somewhere in the world understood the meaning andpower of true knowledge and shared it to everyone in the medical fraternity and thus world-over thisoperation can be done, yes at a price, so what, atleast price (Fate) can get you that knowledge by whichyour life can be saved, can your astro knowledge truly save a life, so why do you all hide knowledge inthe name of God and secrecy. Have you who recite mantras for hours for decades understood themeaning of knowledge whereas a kid in medical science understands it so easily. The Sage is then asked,16 Karana was a historical figure some 3000 years back who was known as the biggest donator ever. The only cause ofcontroversy among scholars is did he do it for name or was it out of real help to the down trodden.32

how come some of the past sages then mentioned that this knowledge should not be given to everyone.Our Sage of the Last Book of Astrology repliesa) Yes the past sages said don’t give it to everyone but to deserving, but they never said that don’t giveit to the ones in your own astrologers’ fraternity, atleast share it within your fraternity, otherwisewhy would each Sage of previous eras write a book in the first place.b) Some of you might argue that they never wrote a book but spoke it to their students and it was notmeant to be written about, if so and if this mistake has happened then why do you prescribe divineforesight to us Sages, could we not see that this knowledge of ours would be written about and alsomis-used by many, were we very bad at Muhurtha (Election Time) of when we started our spokendiscourse.c) Understand the meaning of Karma and don’t talk about Karma, Karma, Karma for 24 hours in yourwritings and lectures when you have no clue of it. If a doctor writes and shares his discovery andmedical practices for use by other doctors, then when the other doctors use it to help people, somepart of that good karma will always come to the originator who shared that method or became aplatform for that method to be shared. So if you as an astrologer decided to share your knowledgewithout ego, without the need for fame then pure part of this energy will go to other astrologers whoin turn will use it to help people and that good karma will in turn come back to you one day. If youdecide to share it for fame or only for money then the quantity and quality of karma coming back toyou will be reduced but not wiped out.d) Today if only few have good knowledge of astrology then they tend to abuse it by sitting onThrones created by themselves, deriding others and wanting to not let go of the Throne and also notallowing others to grow. So when good quality astro information comes out and is available to allthen misuse of power does not happen since there is no exclusivity left. It’s like air, it is freelyavailable everywhere, there is no tax on it. Plus most important is the karma of astrologers is notspoilt by giving wrong predictions and guidance as they would have superior techniques. Peoplehave over thousands of years said something wrong about astrologers that they should not see thefuture and since they see the future their family lives is destroyed and poverty sets in on theastrologer and his family. This is wrong though not totally untrue, yet here I would say it is the badkarma of giving wrong advice and wrong predictions without studying into the science for 50-60years that too with true honesty that makes their karma bad and their families suffer and povertyreins in. When you see a chart first see if it is written in the chart if he/she would get goodpredictions and direction in life, if it is not written then don’t predict. What do I say you all don’tknow how to see this? You all don’t even know in which charts astrology will not work, you alldon’t even know when your own predictions will fail. If you can’t see how and when yourpredictions will fail how you will see honestly see chart of another. No doubt your lot is laughedbehind your back when your own wife is cheating on you and you did not see it, when your owndownfall you failed to predict or prevent through your remedial measures of mantras etc.e) Energy Exchange is a concept that has been there from the start in the form of donation to teacher(dakshina) and most of you don’t want to understand the meaning of Energy Exchange and thus youall don’t allow knowledge to not come out. Look in the past 10 years how the energy has changed inthe world, how knowledge is available across boundaries. We of the ______ Lineage 17 realized themistake that has happened for thousands of years from our end and now we are trying to change it,there is resistance from ‘Energy Consciousness’ itself, it’s not easy to explain, the Old Energy is toostrong and the New Energy is too weak. Raise the level of Astrologers Consciousness and in fewdecades the Energy Consciousness will change and the resistance would be reduced, knowledge willcome out more. Those who have hidden manuscripts and knowledge, those who gave knowledge in17 Publisher: We have deleted that word as the name of that tradition needs an explanation to the Western readers and alsoIndian readers and without detailed explanation it can be misunderstood.33

its and pieces and made you crave for it, beg for it, made you worship them, these past heroes ofyours, their names will come out and they will be the ones flogged in public forums, mark thesewords there is no 99% in this prediction. When the Energy will shift, when the magnetic field ofearth is corrected once again, when the shift is complete then these gurus will fall and 6 year old kidswill come and flog them openly. These kids will blame you as to how come you allowed these gurusto be created in the first place, how did you follow them, how did you become part of theirorganisations, did you not have a decent bone in your body or were you only after some position intheir organization and to create money thereby. Forget you being judged after death, you will bejudged now by the New Kids On The Block.f) Think of the science of medicine which gave you birth in the first place, yes you the astrologer wasgiven birth by some doctor who got that knowledge from somewhere, since someone gave hisknowledge and experience openly to your doctor for your well-being. When knowledge (ofmedicine) did not distinguish you on taking this birth in a healthy manner in terms of caste, creedand sex, to give you the best health to enjoy the fruits of God’s creation, who are you to deny that tothe world by withholding your knowledge of astrology and hiding your manuscripts, whether thatknowledge directly helps or indirectly helps.g) The true meaning and worth of knowledge is when it is of use to increase the quality of life ofcreatures, real quality increase and not illusionary increase. If it can’t increase then it shalst only becalled theory or illusionary theory that you learn in classrooms but can’t apply to help anyone.Meditate on this for days and then you will be able to sift through a good teacher and an illusiongiver teacher, between a good technique and an illusionary one.It was only after thinking on what the Sage has written and observing how medical science hasprogressed in the last 100 years due to openly sharing of knowledge and helping millions worldwide,by comparing the primitive progress of astrologers we realized something. Then when we comparedthe egos of doctors who save millions of creatures and don’t brag or boast about it as compared toastrologers who think they are Gods here in India, we at Saptarishis Astrology realized that we werewrong and thus this transformation happened (again). Although our knowledge of articles previouswritten, that is written before this transformation has not come out in the open but there is one greatreward and that is as per what the Sage wrote. He said you all must try to understand Energy; which isalways changing and no doubt it is very difficult to comprehend energy which functions in doubledichotomy at times depending on which plane you are functioning with. At one plane Energy sees thatif you give 2 units of knowledge it gives you back 10 units in return.Now an example to inspire others to join in the movement of bringing out knowledge would beto tell you what you see of Bhrighu Easy Methodology series in Saptarishis Astrology which hasstunned the astrological world. This knowledge we did not have before we started this magazine and itis only when so much of giving away of knowledge happened that the marvelous techniques of BhrighuEasy Methodology came to us and in return it was shared instantly with you without aggressive testing.No doubt there are shortcomings in any method when it is not aggressively tested, ones reputation canbe damaged and also harm done but when you are dealing with your own brothers and sisters what isthe concern of formality within ones family, what damage to name can happen among family. Lastly letus highlight the result of not sharing knowledge and with folded hands one begs every astrologer in theworld to share his knowledge easily without drama or attention seeking methods.1.6 This Is Your FateOnce upon a time, long long ago there was a man who gained a lot of knowledge in astrologyover many lifetimes. He had gone so deep that it was unimaginable but in every lifetime hehoarded that knowledge to create around him aura of respect and longing from others. Heloved when students would beg for him to share his knowledge; he loved when big famous people cameto him for consultation on his knowledge. The result was that there were too many people over lifetimeswho became jealous and hated him for his huge ego of knowledge as the weight of knowledge on hishead had not made him to bow down and be humble. He would demand huge money and attention foreven the smallest amount of his knowledge to be given to others. He would exhibit partiality of caste,34

creed and sex in imparting his knowledge and make his students serve him like slaves for it. Then inone lifetime he was cursed that when he requires this knowledge he won’t be able to use it, he won’t geta teacher, astrology as a science won’t give him correct predictions and as he made people wait for hoursand days for a good prediction, so he will have to wait for years for the same and will have to movefrom astrologer to astrologer but won’t get that prediction that will save or change his life. The cursewas so worse that he lost all his fortune and position in life due to astrologer’s wrong predictions. Thecurse became more worse and said he won’t have the huge memory that he was proud of; he won’t beable to remember something as simple as table of exaltation debilitation of planets for decades, he willbe pitied on this inability by his own self, he will forget his greatest techniques right when he, his wife,his parents, his children and best friends require him to use those techniques/knowledge. And then inone life time this curse will haunt him badly and may he become an ‘Example of the Sins AgainstKnowledge’ 18 for others to learn against mis-use of knowledge. As he misused his power to create fightsamong fellow astrologers and do politics in the field of knowledge, may he face the same in multipliedquantities? May he go around the world literally begging everyone to part with their knowledge?This curse can happen to each of you as most of us are the astrologers from previous lifetimes, somaybe in some lifetime in the future lets say you are born and roam around the streets of animpoverished country trying to learn astrology, then you struggle for years you will still not get thesecret of astrology, then someone will play the role of Karma and tell you to start a magazine and youwill feel that it should be free since you belonged to the Old Energy and then you will be forced to putall your penny into that venture and be that platform by which knowledge is given out, as in manyprevious lifetimes you just did not give out knowledge. As you did not encourage other astrologers toshare their knowledge or say you did not encourage other astrologers on their works, so in this lifetimeyou will not be encouraged and not helped by many. Your pockets will become empty, you will takemoney on loan and your family will suffer and the Energy will be so strong that you won’t be able tostop, each issue of your magazine will double in size but the Energy won’t allow you to stop the increasein size of your magazine, making you thereby work more harder each time and you will work 365 days ayear (no exaggeration) for 15 hours a day without a break, nor have any technical resources also to do themagazine, you will suffer from health problems - this will be your fate, think about it.………..Continued in Part 2 of the Publitorial18 Conclusion arrived from palm leaf nadi readings of close friends who still function in the old energy of hiding knowledgeor have ego of superiority associated with knowledge.35

|| Gururbrahmaa Gururvishnu Gururdevo Maheshvarah |||| GururSakshaat Parambrahma, Tasmai Shri Gurave Namah||Vol 7 – C. S. Patel 2 nd Memorial Issue - Part 2In continuation with the Part 1, this part of a very long but essential Publitorial will concentrate onthe need to dig deeper into books and manuscripts rather wasting time on forums and chats whichconsume whole day & money of the sincere astro students. Also will be discussed ‘How our studiesneed to be done’ otherwise huge wastage of time happens. In order to understand why we need todissolve ourselves in our books and manuscripts, let’s first see the end result of our studies, which arepredictions.1.7 What Is A PredictionMany of us spend decades in astrology without realizing ‘What is a Prediction’ – though it has manylevels let us touch the very mundane level of it here. The reason for touching this aspect is many of usget impressed with some modern writers and spend years without digging deeper into classics, thinkingour so called heroes are the greatest or only mantras can give great predictions. Predicting outcome of anevent when the event is known is like 50:50 chance of success, one’s office housecleaning staff can alsopredict the outcome of elections or predict an earthquake somewhere in the world as every 9 monthssome earthquake keeps on happening. But when we know nothing about the background of the personwhose chart we see and are able to predict a ‘Rare’ event that is a class prediction.Once upon a time there was an astrologer by the name of K C Saxena who modern students donot know much except that they have seen one or two books in his name in the local astro bookshop. K C Saxena was considered one of the foremost authorities on Bhrighu Astrology andrumor was it he learnt it from one of his office colleagues, later went to Nepal and some locations inIndia to collect more knowledge on this oldest branch of Indian Astrology of Sage Bhrighu. Once upona time Mr Saxena was travelling to Mumbai from Delhi and on his next seat in the plane there was aman who did not believe in astrology and for 30 minutes he bothered Mr Saxena deriding astrology.When finally Mr Saxena said he is an astrologer himself the man shamelessly took out his horoscopefrom his bag and asked Mr Saxena to see it citing that he by chance had his horoscope in his bag as hiswife wanted him to meet some astrologer in Delhi.Then Mr Saxena took few minutes on the chart and said ‘Your wife right now at this very hour, sheis learning Tabla (a particular Indian classical music instrument) with her Guru’. ‘In 2 months from now shewill run away with the Guru and leave you’. The man started shouting to Mr Saxena as to how childish isastrology blah blah blah. Mr Saxena asked him ‘Isn’t at this moment your wife supposed to learn Tabla’. Theman realized that how did this astrologer predict that, he did not even ask if she has interest in music,straight away said at this moment she is learning Tabla 1 and not another instrument. He said ‘it’s trueshe should be learning Tabla right now, but after she runs away with that Guru, will she come back?’Mr Saxena then coolly gave out his card and said ‘when she runs away then you come to Delhi at my officeand then I will reply back’. Dot after 2 months the man was in Mr Saxena’s office. It is easy to guess whathappened.On our way to the Himalayas we, P.M.Padia and Andree Leclerc stopped at Delhi to payrespects to Mentor and then to Shri J.N.Sharma a friend of ours and a very dear friend of Mentor. Welike asking people about their Gurus and fondly listen as they pour out their love for their Gurussomething that is missing with the modern students of astrology. We asked Sharma ji about his GuruK.G.Dutta as mentor had told a story to us when mentor took a famous industrialist to Late ShriDutta’s house for a consultation. Mr Dutta was known as the finest master of horary (Prashna) and infront of Mentor Shri Dutta said ‘Immediately feed this man (industrialist) as he hasn’t eaten food for 2 days’.1 In some classical texts/nadi readings there is reference to planets and various types of instruments.36

Mentor thought ‘Ohh now my reputation is finished, I told the industrialist such great things about thepredictive power of Mr Dutta, he has obviously failed, how can such a rich man not have food’. After fewmoments the Industrialist started weeping saying ‘It’s true I have not eaten for 2 days since I have had a fightwith my wife’.So we narrated this story to J N Sharma, asking him fondly about his memories of his Guru andthe generation of his Guru. After a long chat something emerged when we mentioned to him about theefforts the team of Saptarishis Astrology is taking to bring Ravana Samhita out. He said at the house ofhis Guru Shri K.G. Dutta, there used to come an old and very pious Pandit (priest) whose name nobodybothered to ask since all called him Panditji 2 . He said Panditji would often come and it was said that hewas a Master of Ravana Samhita having committed the whole of it to memory. Now our ears werewidened since we knew that even today many old village astrologers swear only by the text RavanaSamhita 3 . The great astrologer that Shri Dutta was had even greater respect towards this Panditji for hisextensive knowledge in astrology. Now J N Sharma continued that one day while Panditji came ShriDutta was about to leave for a restaurant with one of his friends for his afternoon meals. So the RavanaSamhita expert Panditji said to Mr Dutta ‘On the route to the restaurant you would find two snake charmerswho will meet you and beg you for money, after you give them few coins still they will refuse to let you go insistingthat you give them a Rupee (dollar) only and then they will let you go. After that when you reach the restaurantthere you would have to wait in queue as there would be lot of rush in the restaurant and infact you would think ofleaving but just at that moment a man will get up from one of the tables and ask you to sit in his place and that manwould be blind by one eye.’ Now Shri Dutta along with his friend started walking on the road towards therestaurant while that Panditji trailed behind at a distance wanting to see how his prediction would shapeup. After few minutes of walking two snake charmers came on the road and asked Mr Dutta for money,Mr Dutta looked behind and the Panditji smiled knowing his prediction was coming true. Mr Duttagave few coins but the snake charmers refused to let go and begged for one rupee. In the olden days onerupee was a big amount and so reluctantly Mr Dutta dished out one rupee whilst looking back and thePanditji had a huge naughty grin on his face as his prediction was coming true. Then when Mr Duttareached the restaurant he saw to his dismay but true to the prediction of the Pandit that the restaurantwas packed, whilst they were about to leave, a man got up from one of the tables and offered Mr Duttahis seat to take meals. Mr Dutta just then noticed that the man was blind from one eye. Mr Dutta whohad previously seen so many great predictions of the Panditji come true was once again shocked for sucha novel prediction to come true.We can go on and on regarding some of the other great predictions of this Ravana SamhitaPandit and Mr Saxena but would reserve it for some other issue. What is important is for us to admitthat we don’t think so in our lifetime we would be able to make such kinds of predictions; theirknowledge is lost, not documented in books, not encouraged by publishers and organisations that existedeven then due to politics. This knowledge still existed it seems just a few decades back but how cantoday’s Paramparas (traditions) who claim to be 800 years old and having the experience of 800 years2 In olden days and even in modern day Varanasi still every scholar of shastra will be called either Guruji or Panditji withoutbothering to ask ones name.3 Authenticity of Ravana Samhita is doubtful but so far we have found 2 versions and the most original of them is availablein a place below Varanasi is what most scholars in Varanasi told us. This version inspite of our volunteer’s efforts haveevaded us. Beloved friend Prof Ramachandra Pandey, Ex-Head Jyotish Dept Banaras Hindu University has given us morespecifics but no contact number ‘A pandita named Vagishwari Prasad Pathak resident of Gurvalia village in Deoria Districtnear Gorakhpur, brought this book the Ravana Samhita from Nepal. Now that Pandit is no more, but his son KamakhyaPrasad Pathak is using this book in his Astrological practice.’ Another team member Ashutosh Kumar says that inMuzaffarpur, Bihar has been to this Pandit and saw it but he wouldn’t share. The one in our possession is not in manuscriptform and we ourselves doubt if it is full or totally original version but so far from the commentary that we have published inprevious issues you can make out that inspite of its non-original manuscript form, the rules mentioned on nakshatras inRavana Samhita is most stunning and over rules all nakshatra books so far published. No doubt Ravana was a great scholarand even in the Jyotish famous area of Darbhanga, Bihar the Jyotishis pray to Ravana daily is what is told by AshutoshKumar. Another volunteer who has visited the Gorakhpur area Ravana Samhita pandit claims that it contains a lot ofmundane astrology prediction (not found in our version) and this prediction his uncle has observed for 30 years all becomingtrue. All in all the old astrologers belonging to the North Indian Belt of India have often quoted the greatness of RavanaSamhita and though young ones will ignore such rules given in it but the village astrologers commit it to memory to makestunning predictions is what has observed over many years.37

cannot make such predictions. People like this Panditji never bothered to set up shop outside their houseor create a website, they lead simple lives and did not indulge into marketing and PR, their predictionsspoke about their knowledge. Just of the cup, Mr Saxena is the father of modern author Shanker Adewalwho has written many books published by Sagar Publications. But then astrology is so vast that it is notpossible for any father to dish out his complete knowledge and experience to his own son even if willingwithin a lifetime.1.8 After Manuscripts Are Translated What NextThis is the toughest part where you come in. It is easy to blame that manuscripts are hidden or inlibraries and sanskrit scholars are so egoistical that it is difficult to get any work done out ofthem. But still few Sanskrit scholars have translated some works and are we studying things theway shastra is to be studied? Let us see how shastra was taught not so long ago by an example. ShriParesh Desai one of our esteemed writer comes from a Parampara, his father was the legendaryRavindra Desai, family astrologer of the biggest industrialist in India at that time, owner of MafatlalCompany. Mr Ravindra Desai learnt astrology from Gurukul in his home town in Gujarat and thenfrom Banaras. First he was asked to mug up 15 classics and only after that the Guru started teaching thestudents wherein the Guru would give reference on these classics e.g. references on Adhi Yoga from allthe classics that they had mugged up and then taught what works and what does not with the logicbehind the yoga. So both mugging and understanding the classics and also experience of the Guru cameto be learnt. Then you would go deeper into each classic say for e.g. Brihat Jataka and you would beasked to read all the 40 commentaries on it and then you would be asked to think on each verse to graspits meaning and then test it practically. For e.g. the most revered astrologer Suryanarayan Vyas ofUjjain whom Dr Raman used to regularly consult when he wanted the charts of Nehru family membersalways used to say that Laghu Parasari is the Gita of Astrology/Bible of Astrology.This work of 40 (42) 4 verses looks easy but if you go Real Deep you would find it extremelyconfusing. But you would surely realize that the whole of practicing astrology is in Laghu Parasari henceevery scholar has attempted to write a commentary on it. In recent times a close friend who is fromGujarat, India known for his stunning predictions has done some original work on Laghu Parasari butstill it is a short coming and is not well explained in his work due to lack in command of Englishlanguage. What is needed today is clarity in thoughts of writers, to explain classical verses in a preciseand clear cut language, only two names come to our mind who have already worked cum published onclassical literature in modern times, who can do justice to the work in English language, our friends K SCharak and Ernst Wilhem, hope one day they take up Laghu Parasari.1.9 Theory Vs Experience & The 18 year ruleThen the process of learning goes to experience, after you have studied all the 40 subcommentaries on Laghu Parasari or such ancient works is the process of hunting down expertsall over India who have practiced those techniques mentioned in those verses for minimum 20years. The Last Book of Astrology insists on 18 years. Why 18 years we don’t know? Earlier we tried todo Fit-o-logy that every student of astrology does by bringing in some mystic element to each statementor event of one’s life and thought that 18 is near the cycle of Saturn (19 year dasa) but that is one’s ownthinking. The thing is Mentor having spent decades travelling all over India and burning huge amountsof wealth realized with experience that unless one learns a method from an astrologer who has practiced‘Professionally’ that technique for 18-20 years it is no use learning and adding confusion to one’s mind. Heis obstinate about this part and won’t budge having burnt his bridges many times earlier. The advantagethat he gained was he would know who in which village of India is an expert in Yogini Dasa, who is onKalachakra Dasa, who in Bhrighu Astrology and who in Padanathamsa Dasa, who in Chara Dasa and soon. Who is good in longevity, who in marriage timing, who knows nakshatra well and so on. Trust usthis experience in each technique/subject/text is to be gained ‘Directly’ sitting for days/years in front ofeach teacher and not from that teacher’s article. In an article not even 20% of the technique comes out –this is the hidden truth that nobody tells you nor did anyone tell us until we experienced. The problemis people are giving lectures and writing articles on a technique of astrology without spending 18 years inthat technique including us as we are also guilty of this mistake via our BSP methods which have not4 There are two versions available one of 40 verses and other of 42 verses.38

een perfected for 18 years by us. Ideally one must not write a single article before he has spent 30-35years in astro studies. A mail that came to us….Dear Saptarishis Admin,Pranam Sir(SA: some part deleted & edited)You all must write about the practice of students giving lectures and writing articles without spendingtime perfecting that technique. As a result there can be a chance that some incorrect knowledge cancome out. Some of us just use 4-5 books on transits and prepare articles.I am not trying to defame someone but wanting to improve standards in astrology, so only as anexample see what I am trying to point out in this forum message on ….. this Jaimini forum on __ Oct(SA: deleted this part of the link message since it was pointing to someone wanting to write an article onAshtakvarga in some time and asking for references on studying further on ashtakvarga, the sender of that post onthe forum has only 6 years in astrology and not even 6 years in ashtakvarga hence probably this mail to us, it wouldnot be proper to discourage that hardworking young student to write on ashtakvarga & hence this mail by thecomplainant can be interpreted as petty politics which we would like to avoid getting into and rather encouragepeople to write articles even if young but stating their number of years of experience or experience in number ofcharts with a particular technique. We are not watch dogs or an organization and request other mails that come tous about forum politics to avoid coming to us, but yes we do not prefer our writers to be of non-controversial imageso you can educate us if need be at times since we avoid articles from writers whose public image is suspect ortarnished.)Why are you not doing something about this practice, your organization has representatives all over theworld and is the largest you can set up guidelines for conduct and practices in astro writing. (SA: We arenot an organization but a business entity and refuse to become an organization or a watchdog, as the momentorganization comes in astrology it becomes more of organized politics than organized astrology). You see myfather studied astrology in his small town. In olden days student was to learn shastra for 30-40 yearsbefore Guru gave Agya (SA: agya means instruction) to write, now all are let loose it seems and no Gurusobject. Guru Sishya parampara of India no doubt is finished.RegardsSan………New Jersey2.1 Visiting Some Classics Every YearMost in modern India learn from books of modern authors and somewhere down the line someknowledge is not passed on from available classics to the books of the modern authors. This isa huge problem and after 3-5 years of the study one realizes that one should read only classics.After reading one or two classics the student who’s Saturn might not be strong will go back to modernauthors or search for Gurus on the net or classes or courses for easy learning. Unfortunately there is noeasy way out and you must develop a habit of revisiting those classics every year, reading them againand again otherwise the mistakes in ones learning that has happened in the last 100 years of astrologicalmagazines and books will happen to you and who will suffer your clients and your bad karma will onlyincrease, your remedies on yourself will not work. Coupled with this the need of the hour is to bringmore classics in English including tooth-combing each classic as we read, otherwise one’s whole life willbe a waste by not understanding the most basic fundamentals of astrology. Let’s see some verses from achapter of BPHS by going through the tooth-combing operation which has been missed by most gurusand courses offered in the world on Vedic astrology.39

1) If you ask anyone in astrology which is the house of servants they would normally say 6H, thisis the way it has been taught to all of us, apart from this even Gurus don’t mention any other house, butshould we not go deeper and find from our existing works like BPHS etc. E.g.िवबमं भृॅाऽािद चोपदेशूयाणकम ्।िपऽोव मरणं िवज्ञो िा िनरीक्षयेत ्॥४॥vikramaṁ bhṛtyabhrātrādi copadeśaprayāṇakam |pitrorvai maraṇaṁ vijño duścikyācca nirīkṣayet ||4||Parasara says 3H for servants; one can refer to Chapter 11, Verse 4 of BPHS, Santhanam version, RanjanPublications Page 121. In Varanasi Edition, by Pandit Padmanabh Sharma 5 , Chaukhamba SurbhartiPrakashan, Varanasi , First Edition 2004 it is Chapter 12 (instead of chap 11), Verse 4, Page 61 and evenin the Hindi version, Ranjan Publications by Dr. Suresh Chandra Mishra it is Chapter 12, verse 4, Page125, but everywhere it is 3H for servants. This point has been ignored till date in most articles. No doubtthe 6h of servants also works but so does 3H which experience will teach.2) In same Chapter 12 dealing with houses called BhavaVivekAdhaya Parasara says enemies to seefrom 2H too, whereas all of astrologers take mainly 6H for enemies.धनधां कुटुां मृुजालमिमऽकम ् ।धातुरािदकं सव धनानािरीक्षयेत ्॥३॥dhanadhānyaṁ kuṭumbāṁśca mṛtyujālamamitrakam |dhāturatnādikaṁ sarvaṁ dhanasthānānnirīkṣayet ||3||This word ‘Enemies’ is mentioned in Santhanams version in his translation of the above verse and inDr Suresh Chandra Mishras and Varanasi Edition it is mentioned. It being in Hindi, modern Indiansdon’t want to read Hindi and some can’t so the need that we mentioned earlier of translating things‘Well’ in English is most essential. After it is in English a more wider range of people can test if thetranslation is correct and lastly if the verse of the Rishi works or not in real practice. Parasara also says8H for enemies in the same chapter & 12H for Types & Description of Enemies. Most even ignore that2H is house of family, Parasara has used the word Kutumbh which means family.3) In the same Verse 4 the word Upadesha has been used, which loosely translated means Initiatoryinstructions that one receives is what Santhanam wrote, it can be understood as ‘The Advice that YouReceive’ via your ear.िवबमं भृॅाऽािद चोपदेशूयाणकम ्।िपऽोव मरणं िवज्ञो िा िनरीक्षयेत ्॥४॥vikramaṁ bhṛtyabhrātrādi copadeśaprayāṇakam |pitrorvai maraṇaṁ vijño duścikyācca nirīkṣayet ||4||This has been ignored by all scholars, this is the house of most importance for practicing astrologerssince it shows when not to see the chart of a client, when to just let go of a chart, whose chart to avoid.Why do astrologers predictions fail on certain charts inspite of being a good predictor. Nobody talksabout this concept or word used by Parasara even in scholarly circles but you can get it by diggingdeeper into classics savoring each word of it and going through various translations of the same classic.Even an article on this word with examples won’t suffice to say how important it is and how it has been5 He is head of the Department of Astrology, Shree Nepali Sanskrut Mahavidyala, Varanasi. We had met him in Varanasi inJan 2008 and though he had promised to write articles for us but due to some issues he has not been able to do so.40

ignored till date. Same way most of us miss out on the 3H to be house of Parents Death (not justmother) which Parasara pointed out.4) Ask anyone in India which is the house of Friends everyone says 11H, but here in Chapter ofHouses (Chp 12) Parasara ‘also’ says 4H by using the word ‘Bandhu’ which means brother hood, a bitcloser than just friend like a best friend, as best friend is like your own blood brother, close to yougenerally speaking.वाहनाथ बूं मातृसौािदकािप।िनिधं क्षेऽं गृहं चािप चतुथार्त ्पिरिचयेत ्॥५॥vāhanānyatha bandhūṁśca mātṛsaukhyādikānyapi |nidhiṁ kṣetraṁ gṛhaṁ cāpi caturthāt paricintayet ||5||Santhanam probably translated it as relatives instead of ‘Close Friends/Brotherhood’.5) Something often missed out is that 5H is for Power & Fall from it, as Parasara used the wordRajya which can be understood as Kingdom for 5H in Verse 6 of Chapter 12य - मौ तथा िवां बुेैव ूबकम ् ।पुऽराापॅंशादीन ्पँयेत ्पुऽामयाद ्बुधः॥६॥yantra - mantrau tathā vidyāṁ buddheścaiva prabandhakam |putrarājyāpabhraṁśādīn paśyet putrāmayād budhaḥ ||6||6) 6H is an enigma when it comes to super fine understanding even to us due to lack of Sanskritknowledge. The word used is Sapatni Mataram, which by Varanasi and Suresh Mishra edition says &can mean 2 nd woman - Mistress (other woman) or 2 nd wife whilst you are still married to the 1 st one (sinceSuresh Mishra has used the word Sauth).मातुलाकशानां शऽूंैव ोणािदकान ् ।सपीमातरं चािप षभावािरीक्षयेत ्॥७॥mātulāntakaśaṅkānāṁ śatrūṁścaiva vraṇādikān |sapatnīmātaraṁ cāpi ṣaṣṭhabhāvānnirīkṣayet ||7||Maataaram means Mother In Law (6H) as per Varanasi edition whereas most of us take the 10H (4 thfrom 7 th ) for mother in law. Another meaning of Sapatni can also be loosely understood as the maidwho stays with wife as per some scholars (in olden times the maid was given as dowry and stayed withyour wife in your house for life)7) Ask anyone for travels they say 3, 7,9,12 but Parasara says 10 th House for Foreign Stay(Pravasaasya) but does not mean ‘will not come back’ (subtle difference between this and permanentforeign residence). This point has been ignored by most.रां चाकाशवृिं च मानं चैव िपतुथा।ूवास ऋणािप ोमानािरीक्षणम ्॥११॥rājyaṁ cākāśavṛttiṁ ca mānaṁ caiva pitustathā |pravāsasya ṛṇasyāpi vyomasthānānnirīkṣaṇam ||11||The people take only 6H for debts but in this verse 11 it uses the word Debts (Rinsyapi). So one shouldsee from 10H Debts too.41

8) Now ask anyone which is the house of wife and children they would classically speaking it is 7Hand 5H but Parasara in Verse 12 uses the word PutraJaayadikasya – Putra means children and Jaayameans wife so probably Santhanam translated it as son’s wife.नानावुभवािप पुऽजायािदक च।अं वृिं पशूनां च भवानािरीक्षणम ्॥१२॥nānāvastubhavasyāpi putrajāyādikasya ca |anyaṁ vṛddhiṁ paśūnāṁ ca bhavasthānānnirīkṣaṇam ||12||Whereas Varanasi and Suresh Chandra Mishra edition is clear to say in 11H see Children and Wife(they do not say son’s wife). 11H for children and wife we found out with observation, we lectured onthis at Ahmadabad in a lecture arranged by Upendrasingh Bhadoriya & Sanghvi ji, and then the scholarsthere challenged to quote verse, same night we along with Bhadoriya spent hours going through varioustranslations and found the verse.We do not know Sanskrit at all and know 20 % of Hindi hence our above observation can be wrong atsome places and would happily accept corrections but what has been drawn from above is what isfollowed in common lexicon & also by consulting other scholars. One can infer what the Sage has so farsaid has been ignored till now or vice versa, but may it atleast make you a voracious and tooth-combingreader.2.2 The Controversy & Ambiguity of VersesTwo things are important, One is studying the shastra like a shastra and the other is gaining fromexperience as to what works amongst the written word. When we do not have even 1 % of whatour ancients wrote people spend time debating on forums on any topic in astrology or onmythological points which are only symbolic like South Node (Ketu) not having aspect since he doesnot have head. If ketu was a demon how was he made a graha and what happened after Vishnu severedhis head, was he given the head of a serpent by Vishnu, was he granted the status of graha, how was hegranted that status – this nobody asks nor do they go deep into the mythology is the complaint of thosewho use Ketu’s aspect. Most important that should guide you in your practice of astrology is whatworks, and good majority of practicing & utmost successful astrologers use aspects for Ketu. One of themost important debates lead by modern scholars is when Rahu Ketu are only mathematical points andnot physical planets, how can they have physical aspects. This is a very important point and should beused in this manner to see if they were only physical points how did some of our ancients even mentionaspects to rahu, getting verse for aspect of ketu might be difficult but why did they even mentionaspects (dristhis – sight) to Rahu in the first place, did they not have the basic intelligence to know thata mathematical point cannot give physical aspect/sight.Let us look into some verses which do give some hint on the aspects of the nodes which has beenignored so far otherwise you would land up like us who were insulted rudely by mentor during our 3 rdmeeting with him at Oberoi’s Mumbai, when we asked him if there is any classical base for nodeshaving aspect, he retorted sharply if you have not read jyotish or BPHS 6 then don’t waste my time.Today whip masters like him can only make us better students.

The above verse is not found in Santhanams version if one is not wrong.43

Experiences In Nadi VIII’ and could be by Dr Raman himself, we don’t know. If someone has thisarticle pls send it to us. Then note the part on the right center marked in Red lines where Nadi itselfmentions crystal clear the 9 th aspect of Ketu.All of us know that when a genuine nadi is gotten the predictions are more stunning than all theastrologers combined since it is the Sage talking. Before one ventures and say any principle is notworking, one must first quote what other authorities/references in the past have quoted/written on itand then denounce it as our experience, without quoting verses the subject (Shastra) cannot be learnt iswhat the old Indian real tradition (parampara) is. There is no alternative way to learn, otherwise wrongknowledge (agyaan) results. Especially if you are a Guru or plan to teach via phone or courses you mustquote verses otherwise you will help in blocking your students mind by not teaching him to explorefurther.2.3 Manuscripts & TranslationsThe amount of hard work it takes to get a single manuscript out of any person in India isdaunting and hence so far most of our elders have given up. Astrologers can ignore and partwith their wives but not with manuscripts or old astrological works, they won’t study it butwon’t allow you to get to them. If they know of someone who has it they will see to it that they willeasily mislead you without realizing that Saturn is being spoilt in their charts. So far SaptarishisAstrology’s Team has uploaded only a miniscule number of manuscripts, yet to get them one has to partwith good amount of money or beg, yes its begging in front of astrologers whose ear drums don’tfunction right when you are begging, whose heart are made up of stone, but when dollar is flashed(rupee does not work easily) the manuscript will be parted saying ‘the sage wants it to reach Denmark itseems’. That’s it Sukra nadi (not Sukar nadi) is gone forever and astrologers in India will neverunderstand the meaning of Neechabhanga (debilitation cancelation) 8 . Then the laborious task ofsending it to various scholars in India, resources are used for that and then waiting for months andnothing comes back from the scholars. One only feels ashamed when one is constantly remindingfamous astrologers here in India to part with their manuscripts, they agree but somehow courier servicesmalfunction in cities malfunction always when manuscripts are to be parted and freely given to theworld. We won’t take names of those legends in astrology and may they be thankful for it. Then theproblem of translation……8 Unless Sukra Nadi is translated the true meaning of NeechaBhanga will never be understood, there is a special verse in it.Our efforts to get it from Denmark is on since 3.5 years, lets pray.44

The worst problem is out of 10,000 people on forums 8 will come forward to help and 7 out ofthem will just disappear when we send manuscripts to them. Imagine this happening to you not oncebut 60-65 times in 4 years, what will you do, either you give up or cry like a kid and curse from yourheart when it happens to you every time. You must also be prepared to face the egos of those who haveknowledge of any language. Regarding translation this mail was sent to us 2 months back when wepassed a rare work on Jaimini called Jyotish Phalaratnamala’ of Krishna Mishra duly translated by ShriChandrashekhar Sharma to a volunteer for proof reading:-Dear SA, (he means Saptarishis Astrology)After reading Jyotish Phalaratnamala of Krishnamishra translated by Ravindra Bhagavat and Sharmaji Ihave realized that me having spent 9 years in Jaimini parampara on internet forums is a waste. Onlyone thing can be understood after Jyotish Phalaratnamala is read that is all of us have wasted our time inJaimini astrology. In earlier mail you said you are doing more works and when you all publish the fullof these works that you have started on Phalaratnamala, Kalpalatta, Jatasarasangraha,Sutradaprakashika I think it would be easier for us to realize that in this life we can never understandJaimini astrology. I pray you to success in finding Sanskrit scholars who can translate them andencourage people like Chandrashekhar Sharma, an old hand in astrology to continue what he is doing.Many know Sanskrit but you will find a dearth of them when it comes to dirtying their hands andputting their heads under the sword of real translation. You see scholars of Sanskrit who have gone toUSA tell us ‘It is the prerogative of one whether to do translation or not’. Sometimes it takes lifetime tounderstand God or Knowledge even if for years one does Homams and Havans. One of the most notedsingers in India, Asha Bhosale gave an interview on the front page of Bombay Times in the month ofSeptember, and she said ‘If God has given you an ability then you should use it for the good of people’. We aresure she does not do hours of homam daily but understands the meaning of Vidya as singing is also aVidya. What is the use of learning sanskrit and proclaiming oneself great in sanskrit when from 30years of one’s existence ‘In Sanskrit’ one cannot translate a single manuscript or work. SometimesIndians learn in Universities that are sponsored by Govt through tax payers money like ours and thenthey go to America and settle down forgetting that the very reason they can eat and live in comfort inAmerica is due to tax payers money like us, the very reason they can get scholarships in sanskrit back inIndia is due to us. Shameless followers of theirs can only keep quiet and not point out the flaw of theirheroes and these gurus are more shameless when they write in forums ‘I am a good sanskrit scholar’.Sir, if you are a scholar you would never say I am a scholar that is for the world to say so. Vidya(knowledge) is 4H, whether mother’s milk is there or as some take it as 7H for mother’s milk which canbe interpreted as the arudha of knowledge being 4th from 4th. This Debt of Mothers milk is only givenwhen what you learn from your mother (education) is given out to the society (7H-public) and hencewe can say that people like Shri Chandrashekhar Sharma are giving out the Debt of their mother’s milk bytranslating works in sanskrit, even though he being a humble man claims he is not a scholar of sanskritin contrast to others who want to be leaders but not followers of the science, a formula for destruction inJyotish. We bow down to Chandrashekhar Sharma who has not talked about humbleness andscholarship but demonstrated it. You are hereby requested to publish this not because I want to takerevenge but so that I can inspire 100s who know Sanskrit to come forward and work as a Team intranslating Jyotish work, maybe this is the karma of this letter. Today we need teams and notindividuals. It would be nice if don’t edit this.Regards,P……2.4 Manuscripts & Jaimini AstrologyOf all branches of astrology today Jaimini Astrology has risen in the last few decades thanks toefforts of few nice souls like Iranganti, K.N.Rao & Sanjay Rath. Inspite of their hard work thesubject is too huge & nothing substantial has come out and a lot is to be done with the roadwide ahead. Most of us young ones feel that everything in Jaimini Astrology is already revealed andtend to use it to make predictions and spoil the lives of people. The worst Karma is considered when selfappointed Gurus along with titles of Gurus are dished out and naïve folks tend to believe when we seecomplex techniques and calculations with more complex conditions that keep on changing every 3 years.45

Today more ill-karma is done in the name of Sage Jaimini than ever in the history of astrology. It iswhen you will become a victim not once but several times and lose your career & status forever, loseyour life path forever, (mark forever) and lose $ 28,000 dollars plus a possibility of not getting backanother $ 34,000 due to bad predictions of Jaimini astrology parampara astrologers, then you will resolveon one thing which is to eithera) Expose the crap in the name of Jaimini that is happening ORb) Help the Gurus & students of Modern Jaimini Astrology Paramparas by providing themmanuscriptsSome of us here in Saptarishis Astrology like Ravindra Bhagavat chose the Option B. We knew that theglory of Jaimini Astrology is lost forever with most manuscripts not available in the form ofcommentaries which are the real backbone of Jaimini Astrology of whatever survived little of SageJaimini’s work. We knew that today predictions are not possible with the current knowledge of Jaimini.Why so, since not a single Jaimini internet parampara astrologer can ever predict the way Late VemuriShastri used to do ‘To The Day’ and again not like Late D K Sen, who was a very close friend ofmentor. D K Sen was known to predict marriage to the week, years in advance and at times the job tothe day. Forget predicting to the day, predicting 10 major events 9 of one’s life are not possible by currentday Jaimini Astrology this you would find with costly experience, but how could Vemuri Shastri dothat. Credit must be given not for name sake but truly to K N Rao 10 who lead the InternationalRenaissance in Jaimini astrology via his Chara Dasha. The unfortunate part is what he has written inhis book is not even 20% of what he uses (as communicated to us by him via email in 2006) & due toworld not wanting more he refuses to write more on it. But what we can request students is for atleastnext 150 years not to bother about Jaimini Astrology just read it ‘A Bit’ but don’t spend much time on itotherwise you would waste years in it and get nothing. Your state would be like of most astrologers whohave reached age of 70, spent time on 100 dasas and only in privacy can admit that it was a mistake ofnot sticking to one or two dasas in Parashari. If something is a consolation our 6 years on net forumswas wasted and mentors 30 years on Jaimini astrology. Stick to Parashari and little bit of nadi and youcan achieve wonders. As per our experience read K N Rao’s Chara Dasha twice then observe each eventthrough the method of his chara dasha, in a day atleast 5 events you must observe on multiple charts,then make your notes. After 1-2 years you would develop your own method of interpretation & trust usit would work fabulously as this has been the experience of senior astrologers. Please note if you onlypractice what is given verbatim in KNRs book after 3 years you would get only 50-55 % of accuracy butif you take his book or Vemuri as your true Guru and make your own efforts knowing that he left hintsin his book (KNRs), also in his magazine and develop your own method the accuracy level can reach attimes even 70% depending on your own capability. Apart from Chara Dasa do not (DO NOT) touchany other dasa till next 7 years or till you are mature enough to handle complexities in astrology.This is the state of Jaimini Astrology and that’s the reason when we resorted to improvestandards of Jaimini Astrology as that branch of astrology consumes the net forums and therebymany lives are destroyed we approached Iranganti Rangacharya and Madura KrishnamoorthiShastri from Andhra Pradesh, as Andhra is considered the Land Of Jaimini where maximum workhappened in the past on Jaimini. These two have spent exactly 50 years (50 by 2009) in Jaimini astrologywhereas the average age of Astrologers on net forums is not even 30 forget the experience of them, evenparamparas age is not 50. Due to old age of Maduraji and Irangantiji, so far we have been able to removeout only few articles than what was our goal. Here we have failed and it has been a costly failure9 Actually using any form of current knowledge of astrology it is impossible to predict 5 major events with periods to behonest.10 Pls note that we are not students or hardcore fans of KNR and are not propagating him but as an off the cup remark, hewas the only astrologer who predicted to the publisher of Saptarishis Astrology that we would be writing a book in 2008.This prediction was done in Oct 2004. But instead of a book Saptarishis Astrology Magazine was launched, still hisprediction holds sound. It is unclear if he used Jaimini astrology for the prediction as we are a bit sure that he knows moreabout Bhrighu Astrology but does not mention about it in his writings.46

knowing that once these 81 year olds are gone there would be none to save the Fate of Jaimini Astrologyfrom the classic angle. Hence we sent one of our contacts Shanmukha, a young enthusiast and ex-SJCHyderabad discussion group team member to Iranganti ji to write articles for Iranganti. The Master wasold and after having being cheated by many so called students did not want any more student orvolunteer to help him write. He resisted a lot. We had to push so much for Iranganti ji to accept. Let uswait for Shanmukha to assist in writing Iranganti ji for more articles, the same way we introducedAndree Leclerc from Canada to the nadi master in Hyderabad Shri A. V. Sundaram for some nadiastrology secrets to come out. If these two fail in bringing knowledge out it would be our failure I guess& not theirs.Some of you might argue that there is so much of Jaimini astrology available on the net forumsso why are we cribbing about it. In reality the toughest question in Jaimini Astrology that has beenasked on internet parampara forums which none of the gurus could answer is:-1. How many major ancient commentaries of Jaimini Sutras are there in total2. How many Ascendants (lagnas) are there in Jaimini3. How many Dasas are there in Jaimini4. How many types of Upapada Lagnas are there5. How many types of Hora Lagnas are there6. How many types of calculations are there in Arudhas computationIf you search these net forums you would find that people get upset when Divya Lagna and TripavanaLagna calculation are asked. These are actually a part of Jaimini Astrology. Look at this link where thequery of Divya Lagna was asked on May 16 th 2006http://groups.yahoo.com/group/sohamsa/message/5208A famous Guru got upset on being asked this question and now when we were trying to paste thelink here, we saw that the rude answer by him was probably deleted from the forum, note not a singleguru was able to answer it. Deleting messages of scandals from forums is common but if we do notknow something we should admit it whole heartedly and not delete it. In many such internet paramparaforums 3-4 times in last 5 years the toughest question was asked ‘How many major ancientcommentaries of Jaimini Sutras are there’ – not a single person among them could answer it. If we can’tanswer this basic question how can we teach Jaimini Astrology but everyone wants to teach JaiminiAstrology or some program. Teaching is big business in India and West but predicting out of thatknowledge none can do. Would not a scholar know how many commentaries are there, the namesatleast? There are as per our scant knowledge 35 commentaries which are major, some of themSaptarishis Astrology Team members has uploaded it in the manuscript section which till date none ofthe Jaimini Paramparas of 800 years have been able to do so. Ofcourse everyone talks outside the forumthat if there is a parampara how come they do not have these ancient commentaries but none points itout in the forum as to how come these paramparas cannot quote a single shloka for their new dasas orlagnas since in parampara without quoting shlokas you are never taught. Every kid in astrology in Indiaknows it but none wants to object to the ‘Rape Of Astrology’ since all of us wants to make money byselling courses in our respective countries with the help of our associations or get posts in organisationsworldwide and flash our certificates so that more clients come. All of us know that the best predictors inIndia have never ‘EVER’ flashed certificates or degrees or posts in associations to their name, may theyoung ones know this & not become a laughing stock among educated clients. Astrology in India is aVidya and Vidya is equated to Mother here, hence we call the Goddess of Learning ‘Maa Saraswati’ buthow fashionable it is for modern day gurus and students to pray every morning to Maa Saraswati, butallow Vidya to be raped and prostituted by Mercenaries and Talibanists of astrology. Students don’teven blink an eye when publicly arrogant gurus display their raping of Vidya and their bad manners orsamskara as it is called in India.Let us not stop here and continue and ask what was asked long back in net parampara forums‘How many types of Lagnas (Ascendants) are there in Jaimini’, none could answer – well thereare 65 types of Lagnas as per one direct lineage of Jaimini who resides in Andhra and whosefamily history of 850 years, their names are written on the walls of his house. Modern paramparascannot list down their true lineage of 800 years. How many types of Dasas in Jaimini, none could47

answer – there are 70 types of dasas in Jaimini. No one can even name these lagnas and dasas, whatabout their calculations, what about how to use them, what about 18 years of experience in each dasabefore teaching them. How many types of Arudha calculation are there, this is the basic question inJaimini, you ask anyone they would say 2, actually there are 5 major types of systems of calculations ofArudhas which were followed by the ancients and none have spoken about it so far? Let it be repeated‘None’. Then there are sub-divisions or views on these 5 types, and then there is the Bhrighu ArudhaSystem 11 which in future issues we will write about. Coming back to Jaimini arudhas, in the ancientwork Kalpalatta, the author Somanathacharya mentions about different calculation for male sign femalesign arudha calculation, on the net Paramparas none have spoken about it and even in the majority ofIndia none know about it. Read Kalpalatta translation in this issue, it is being brought out for the firsttime in last 100s of years, the manuscript you can find in the manuscript link of the website.Mentor long back went to a man who was rumored to be well versed in Jaimini and mentorasked him how many types of Upapada lagna calculation are there, he was quiet and finally said onlyone is there. Mentor realized at that time this man only poses as a Parampara Guru but does not knowJaimini basics. We knew the answer via mentor that there are 5 types of Upapada Lagna calculation andwhen we were to start this magazine mentor sent us to the village of Madura Krishnamurthy Shastri,we asked Maduraji the same question that Mentor asked that Parampara Guru. We were committingthe sin of testing the knowledge of an old man and we knew it but for the sake of bringing out trueknowledge of Jaimini we had to do it and in a second we received the right answer with a knowing smilefrom Madura ji that he knew why we asked. The question that must come to your mind with differenttypes of arudhas, Upapada lagnas, 7 or 8 chara karakas, where to see Karakamsa chart in rasi or navamsais that which one will you follow after all these formulas have come out in translations, who will decidethis for you, the rishi or the fame hungry guru. Any technique in astrology whether correct or wrongwill always work on 10 charts at the end of the day is a concept not known to astrologers who are eagerto believe what they want to believe as Rahu controls astrology and not Jupiter and Rahu is thesignificator of illusion hence some will swear by 7 and some by 8 charakarakas saying it works for themsince 40 years or 800 years without realizing that the Game Master is Rahu, the master illusionist whoeven deceived the gods, what are astrologers in front of Gods.Speaking of Mentor long back in 2006, mentor asked us to teach him how to use Argala, wereplied to him what we had learnt in net forums, he instantly retorted ‘you will never understand basicsof Jaimini.’ It was only when we published the article of Maduraji in last issue we realized that all thiswhile the whole world has been committing a mistake on something as basic as Argala in Jaiminiastrology. He deserves the credit for teaching all of us in the jyotish world this way Argala is to be usedand aspecting planets in Argala. No doubt the Master, Mr K.N.Rao knew that argala is a confusing partand never commented on it and thereby avoided misguiding souls in the name of Jaimini astrology.Some of us know that only two opinions exist when it comes to charakarakas either 7 or 8 and most ofus quote so and so scholars system of charakaraka, what not a single student or scholar has done is quotethe relevant Sanskrit shloka where 7 charakaraka is mentioned or 8 charakaraka is mentioned. When onan internet parampara forum a friend mentioned that there is an opinion among top most scholars inJaimini in Andhra Pradesh that both 7 and also 8 can be used depending on the type of chart, we werebanned by that Paramguru.2.4 Manuscripts Release & UnhappinessSo far in last 100 years of astrological English publications few times some of the ancientmanuscripts of Jaimini Sutras commentaries were mentioned. These were kept to a few selectindividual. Our team decided to help the lovers of Jaimini astrology by bringing this raremanuscripts containing commentaries of Jaimini Sutras out for the public since without commentariesand most important without all of them you cannot even fathom to understand what Sage Jaimini wrote11 The Bhrighu Arudha Lagna of Michael Jackson comes in the 8H which as per known Jaimini Arudhas does not come inthe 8H and in the 8H as per true nodes there is Rahu and BAL plus Rahu, Rahu shows scandals and 8H also shows scandals,his whole life was a scandal.48

in his cryptic condensed coded verses. Thinking that it would be welcome with open arms we realized toour surprise that our mailers containing download links for the commentaries were being moderated bymoderators of internet parampara forums, some forums did not even allow it as if these moderatorshave become Kings in Astrology thinking that their forums is their territory. Fine moderation isacceptable but how come there was no word for appreciation among even one single member of theforum for Ravindra Bhagavat who donated these, don’t they want more knowledge. Was everyonescared of something, of losing their thrones? 1400 people scared to react, if their ParamGuru is nothappy. Will these 1400 be forgiven by the Soul Of Astrology for not encouraging people like RavindraBhagavat & Raghavendra Rao who bring out manuscripts to the world. Are Jyotishas nothing butspineless creatures, slaves and pets in front of their Gurus? Even some senior members react tocommentaries being brought out in a negative manner whereas in Andhra everyone has died to get theirhands on commentaries, begging and pleasing their Gurus for 40-50 years, they get in return a big Zeroand here it is being given free. See this mail that came to usDear Admin,I am old now and given up on Jaimini Astrology which the legend Dr B V Raman introduced tous decades back, nobody remembers his contribution now among the young ones. There were tears inmy eyes which have become weak when I saw you distributing for free download these commentarieson Jaimini Sutras knowing that I have spent 4 decades searching for them. You kids have done theunthinkable in astrology that none of us nor our heroes did, that is of distributing manuscripts for freefor knowledge to truly come out. I feel as if they did nothing so far. Not a single parampara has done it.Can you even imagine that in 40 years how many people I must have met who have shown memanuscripts but not given it displaying their bad manners and their bad blood in them, you said you areyoung so you can’t imagine the amount of insults people like me have faced. I am not scolding here butpointing a fact that comes from experience. I used to feel like taking my hands and killing some of themwhen they would look into my eyes with ego and think mentally ‘now start begging me for mymanuscripts.’My Sanskrit is not so great otherwise I would have helped you nor is my health. I wish I couldtouch the feet of Dr Ravindra Bhagavat and Madura Krishnamoorthi Shastri who have distributed thesemanuscripts. Mr Shastri I heard so much about this great man in Jaimini, he wrote path breakingarticles in 60s but due to financial circumstances and guess my fate could not go to meet him. Kindlypass on his address to me and I will be grateful, maybe one day I will meet him. But what I am notgrateful about is what is written in these forums of young ones today. I do copy and paste below, ok.Re: [sohamsa] JaiminiHare Rama KrsnaOne can read all the available commentaries, especially if they have a clear mind and can remember what eachcommentator has said, all the variabilityâ€s, take the time to test all these various techniques, and rememberwhat works for them and still be clear about who believes what in scholarly circles.. This is a very high path indeedfor one who has the time and intelligence..Guruji (Sri Sanjay Rath) has read all these commentaries, understood them, tested them, (has rare commentariesnot available to the average public), and has the teaching of a living lineage (Parampara) of Jaimini which he wasborn into and is required to continue. Sanjayâ€s family lineage was invited to Orissa by the King of Puri becauseof their jnana.(SA: Deleted rest as non valid to this discussion)Namah ShivayaFreedomhttp://groups.yahoo.com/group/sohamsa/message/19061 (link inserted by SA for reference)49

You use I am old fashioned and don’t know how long I will live but I take B V Raman as my Guru, Iknow he had his own shortcomings and did what he had to do to survive but you see in our days wenever made such statements about ones Guru especially in public as the following questions will arise.How can a student endanger his own Gurus reputation throwing him armor-less in this modern worldwhere if you hide anything it is considered wrong and a sin? Now think since you are a young publisherand must learn to respect elders teachings to us.a) If the students word is true in the above email it means his Guru has all the commentaries ofJaimini Sutras.b) His Guru has not replied in the forum saying he does not have those manuscripts.c) If so how come his Guru has not given out the original manuscripts to the Jyotish Fraternity, itdoes not take long to scan and upload on severs (SA: servers it should be). Nowadays technologyis there na.d) If all commentaries are available with the Guru then as a scholar he did not quote the relevantshlokas from those commentaries in his book Upadesha Sutrase) There are some 1500 people in that forum how come no one asked for those commentaries to begiven out, why are the gurus hiding it. For me those commentaries are no use as I have 1.5 yearsleft as per nadi predictions. Maybe I will read it in next life via your website. Get themtranslated will you. Wish Saptarishis Astrology had come 30 years back people like me wouldhave quenched our true thirst for knowledge.During my days I was so passionate about my Guru Dr B V Raman whom I met 4 times, andwould defend him against those who were against him. He was always criticized that he hid the DhruvaNadi for 40-45 years, I think he was gifted that manuscript in 1952 or 53 and even as late as 1990s he saidhe would translate it. My best friend who was anti-Raman always told me that Dr Raman has notrevealed the most important nadi Dhruva Nadi inspite of taking 40 years to translate it and I wouldfight against him and even to Dr Raman to release that manuscript. His health was not well I am toldduring those days and did not hear from him.Sorry you have to hear the whinings of an old man but after so many decades in Jaimini andParashari Astrology one only feels frustrated as our technical queries are not answered in this life time,what will we predict from a chart when we are ourselves having doubts on our completeness of our astroknowledge.May this not discourage you my child you guys are doing important work, don’t give up.Regards,S……….. (name deleted)DelhiWe have around 5-6 major commentaries the work on which has already started andright now the translation of the monumental Kalpalata and Jyotish Phalaratnamalathe backbone of Jaimini Astrology is being presented in this issue. After few yearsthere would be some debate and a better translation will come out in them, that is the process of howknowledge comes out but Chandrashekhar Sharma, Virendra Battu will be the Knights who took thechallenge and did it without bothering if they would be criticized or not. This only a true Knight ofAstrology can do what it takes to be done whereas others sit and write articles but these translators aregiving you the very source to research and then write articles, presenting you the tool to glorify yourname. No doubt their names will go in the annals of astrology forever as the men who did it instead ofjust talking about it. To bring out 15 commentaries it would take us 50 years, then it would take you 10years to read and understand them, then another 20 years to master some of the dasas. Better advice isdon’t touch Jaimini Astrology till all the resources are available, don’t touch it till dasas given byparamparas on nets have stopped their transformation process as all of you have observed that various50

dasas and lagnas over the years change their calculation as per the whims of the same paramparawithout any shame that some of us might have used that lagna to predict and spoil someone’s life.Astrological organisations are equally responsible worldwide to allow this to go on and so are you fornot objecting and thus weakening your 9H of dharma as you did not follow Dharma of righteous action.As it took us 15 years to understand why Lord Krishna urged Arjuna to fight and why did he nottell Arjuna to practice non-attachment which all of us practice by being silent spectators of the dramasof forums, may it not take you 15 years is how we would end here. May you also not become barkingdogs, that role only few have to perform. Start translating from Hindi to English, or from any locallanguage to English or Sanskrit to English and make your Mercury powerful that is a bigger remedythan mantras as Gita propagates action to be the highest dharma. Unless the pleasure of givingknowledge is experienced, you just won’t realize the Supreme Bliss of it, don’t crave for instant fame orany at all, don’t crave for creating your brand name or creating your own websites or softwares, all willcome on its own what the Lord decides, just give and give and you shall surely receive the blessings ofthe Sages. Trust us there is no 99% in what has been written above. Nobody saves your wasteful yearsin astrology, someone did that favor on us in 2006 by telling us at each and every step where not towaste our time, in which dasa not to spend hours, he said one has 20-30 goods years in jyotish that’s itand if you waste time learning it wrongly, at the end on your death bed you would be the mostdissatisfied person and would have spent your life like others bitching about other astrologers. In orderto pay a part of our debts to Mentor we have written this kind of Publitorial knowing that more enemieswill be made, more harm will be done to us, critics will be borne and less people might get associatedwith us, it does not matter since we are not here to set shop or become astrologers but happy that anadvice like this could save 10-20 years of yours, if it’s worth it take it or delete it, don’t waste your timeor karma deriding it as one would not prefer to be a tool of bad karma creator for you.To conclude there is a most apt statement from ‘The Last Book Of Astrology’ where the Yogisays ‘Knowledge Is of No Use unless it has come to use for the welfare of all, where it was Unconditionally Givenuntil then it’s like a mistress who is for a select few’.2.5 Is Jaimini Astrology Destined For You.If you are learning Astrology or Jaimini Astrology from a Guru or a Parampara he must tell youbefore you start astrology if you would be able to learn it or not. Then if you are learning variousstreams of astrology each has its own planet, which should be strong in your rasi or a particulardivisional chart. If this has not been told to you then the first step of honesty has not been accorded toyou by your Guru or forum from where you learn. Suppose you are learning Jaimini Astrology, youmust look at your Ketu; this point is not known at all. This Ketu-Jaimini technique is just a hint of atechnique do not forget the word hint and kindly do not take it as the one all end all, a favorite mind setof astrologers. Now the Gothra 12 of Ketu is Jaimini Rishi. Hence Ketu is very important for all thosewho learn Jaimini Astrology. The technique is to observe placement of Ketu:-‘Ketu’s exaltation, debilitation and Moola trikona signs will be most important to observe inthis regard, along with the Kalapurusha Houses that it represents e.g. Ketu is exalted inScorpio by some and Sagittarius by some, so observe the 8 and 9 houses in chart too, it isdebilitated in Taurus or Gemini so observe the 2 nd and 3 rd houses too’.To make it broadly simple:-a) Observe Exal, Deb signs of Ketu which is Sc, Sg, Ta, Ge12 Reference of Gothra from a work by Maharishi Dayanand Jothi, Coimbatore, Kerala whose work has supposed references of many rarenon-popular Nadis without quoting shlokas from nadis. His work would be soon brought out in the shopping section of SaptarishisAstrology.51

) Observe thus the signs houses in natural Kalapurusha zodiac which is 8,9,2,3 houses i.e. ketusplacement in these houses.c) Observe their own or Moola trikona or trine housesd) So if you take Pisces as own house observe Pisces and also 12 th house, if you take Virgo as trinehouse you observe Ketu in Virgo or 6 th house or if you take Capricorn as Moolatrikona house asmentioned in Bhavartha Ratnakara then you observe Ketu in either Capricorn or in 10 th house ofa chart and so on.There is lot of confusion among sages/ancient writers on own, exal, deb signs of Rahu Ketu 13 . Theconcept of using houses in Kalapurusha for everything in astrology and not just body parts (medicalastrology) is a Bhrighu Astrology Concept that was first clearly extolled by a Calcutta based astrologerwho wrote articles in Astrological Magazine in partnership with Late Surya Prakash, the esteemed sonof B V Raman.Let’s use this Ketu and observe it in charts of men who dedicated their lives in Jaimini Astrologybut do note that it would also come in the lives of great astrologers who did Parasari or Westernastrology too like that of Richard Houck who they say was at times capable of predicting the date ofdeath or even of Nostradamus. Anyways the Great Late Vemuri Rama Murthi Sastri of AndhraPradesh who is known as the greatest exponent of Jaimini in last 300 years had Ketu Exalted in Scorpioin 6H (natural house of Virgo in Kalapurusha) of accidents and secrecy, going away from home to learn(is also 6H), it is said he quietly by-hearted thousands of shlokas from his teacher in Banaras as histeacher would not part with the manuscripts to be taken out of Banaras and Vemuri is supposed to havefinally burnt down his books in his house, which he claimed caught fire (accidents 6H). It is said therewas no one like Vemuri Shastri in Jaimini Astrology. Ketu’s ‘Trine House’ 14 is Virgo, in K.N. Rao’schart you would find this Ketu in Virgo in the 12H (Pisces of natural zodiac & Pisces Ketu connection iswell known 15 ) of previous lives unfinished business and abroad, his work on Jaimini is regarded as oneof the highest in recent times and he is known for spreading Jaimini abroad, do note that this Ketu iswith an exalted Mercury (writing), his books on Jaimini are the most sold by any book shop as Mercurymakes one practical and he wrote on the ‘Practical Application of Jaimini’, you would find practicingastrologers swear by K.N. Rao’s version of Chara Dasha, the classical sutra choppers as KNR once calledthem would criticize his style but the professionals whose bread is gotten by astrology use K.N. Rao’sversion of Vemuri Shastris Chara Dasha, that was the Mercury & Virgo (Ketu) touch to Jaimini inKNRs work. Dr Raman had Ketu in the 8H of occult and in the sign of Virgo like K N Rao, Dr Raman13 Hora Sara Chp 2 Shl8: As Rahu, Ketu have not been dealt with, I give below some information in this regard: VriddhaSamhita and Jyotishamrita state that Aquarius and Scorpio are owned by Rahu and Ketu in their order. Veemesaram, aTamil work calls Aquarius as Rahu's own house, but nothing is allotted to Ketu. Both are exalted in Scorpio and are in fall inTaurus as per Jatakalankaram (Tamil) and Veemesaram. Jatakachintamani agrees with this, only for Rahu, while itmentions that Ketu is exalted in Gemini, and is in fall in Sagittarius. Syama Sangraham says that Gemini and Sagittarius areexaltation and Neecha for Rahu and the reverse is true for Ketu. Sarvartha Chintamani gives Taurus-Scorpio as exaltationand debilitation for Rahu and Scorpio Taurus as exaltation and debilitation for Ketu. Bhavartha Ratnakara states that Rahu isexalted in Taurus and Ketu in Scorpio, and Rahu has Gemini and Cancer as his Moola-Trikonas, while Ketu's Moola-Trikonas are Sagittarius and Capricorn. Also see Uttara Kalamrita, slokas 19-20 of Ch. IV, for more information. There are,thus, varied views in this regard.BPHS Chp 47: Shl: 34-39 1/2. In order to clarify the effects of the Dasha of Rahu, I shall first mention the exaltation anddebilitation rashis of Rahu and Ketu. The exaltation rashi of Rahu is Taurus. The exaltation rashi of Ketu is Scorpio. TheMoola-Trikonas of Rahu and Ketu are Gemini and Sagittarius respectively. The own rashis of Rahu and Ketu are Aquariusand Scorpio in that order. Some sages have expressed the view that Virgo is the own rashi of Rahu and Pisces is the ownrashi of Ketu.14 Reference Maharishi Dayanand Jothi15 Bhavartha Ratnakaraka, Chp 15, Shl 9 - For Ketu, Pisces is own house, Libra friendly, Aquarius own house, Scorpio theplace of exaltation, and Sagittarius and Capricorn the moolatrikona places. As we mentioned at the start that Ketu in itssigns does not restrict only to Jaimini, e.g. Richard Houck had Ketu in Sc in 12H, Nostradamus had Ketu in Virgo, CEOCarter had Ketu in 6H, Cheiro had Ketu in Pisces, Edgar Cayce had Ketu in Leo (more on this below) and so did RobertDeluce whose work on Divisional chart (D60) is worth reading.52

was one of the first to propagate and bring out gems in Jaimini via his magazine and books. There issomething not known about Virgo which has been called a Virgin and hence something new must betold about it, Virgo is a sign when combined with Ketu is ‘Bhagwan Ka Rin’ i.e. ‘Gods debts’ which in thecase of KNR & Dr Raman would be ‘Debt to Higher (Jyotish) Knowledge’ from previous lifetimes whichthey have tried to repay in this lifetime. Virgo has another absolutely unknown quality which is ‘ToInspire Others’ and about this we would talk some other time.‘One should note that Ketu in Virgo in the right house can give deep knowledge of occult or a super fineknowledge of spiritual secrets like in the case of James Redfield the celebrated spiritual author having the bestcombination of Ketu right on his Asc (most imp) in sign Virgo with 8L Mars.’ Earlier we wrote about Ketu’strine house sign being Virgo, so observe 6H placement of Ketu also in charts of people who did majorwork in Jaimini astrology like the case of Prof Suryanarayan Rao, grandfather of Dr Raman, he wroteone of the 1 st most famous work on Jaimini in English. Bhavartha Ratnakara says Ketu’s Moola trikonasign is Capricorn & Sagittarius, so observe these two signs and along with it 10 th and 9 th houses of anychart – sign house combo to be used. Sanjay Rath has Ketu in the 10H of Profession & Karma in theexalted sign of Sagittarius (note both Sc & Sg are considered exalted by many), Sg is also the 9Hof Guru in Naisargik Chart, Sanjay Rath has become a Guru figure to some in Jaimini Astrology. Youwould thus observe that this Capricorn (or 10H) Ketu connection of Bhavartha Ratnakaraka does workif you see some lesser famous people’s chart who have been working on Jaimini but would have Ketu inCapricorn either in 3H of writing or in 11H of Jyotisha & so on. Ketu is also exalted in Scorpio which isthe natural sign for the occult & hidden knowledge in occult, it is placed in the 11H of Jyotisha in signScorpio in the chart of 81 year old Madura Krishna Moorthy Sastri ji, and his knowledge of Jaiminiastrology is legendary in Andhra Pradesh, the land of Jaimini Astrology, apart from his legendary statushe still remains a humble soul. Iranganti Rangacharya one of the topmost scholars to write in JaiminiAstrology since last 4 decades in the classical angle has Ketu in Sagittarius in the 2H of education withA5 (authorship), his work on Jaimini is the most scholarly so far in English language & unmatched.Another parampara guru of Jaimini of 800 years from Andhra Pradesh, his son has Ketu in Scorpio,exalted there in 6H of secrecy with A4 (knowledge & passed on in one’s home), this same combinationLate Vemuri Shastry had and thus the knowledge has so far in 800 years not come out. When we werejust about to start this magazine we contacted his father, who though old told us that crap in the nameof Jaimini is happening in internet forums, hence we begged him to write articles so as to clear thecobwebs in Jaimini Astrology, he laid down some conditions to us for him to write in our magazinewhich were not acceptable to us and thus the ego clash happened but loss to Jaimini Astrology happenedforever. It will always remain a black mark on Saptarishis Astrology for having failed in removing thisreal parampara out on whose house it is said the list of forefathers in Jaimini Astrology since 800 yearsis written on the wall. Those who are from Andhra Pradesh know whom we are talking about.Sign and house placement both matters, suppose you have Ketu in the 2H in the sign of Aquariuswhich is the sign of astrology then again you would read a lot (eyes) on Jaimini and it would be yourdeep passion akin to ‘without food (2H) body cannot survive’ like passion, if it is with A6 then first youwould commit mistake (A6 is mistakes) in your learning’s and then you could go to someone else tolearn Jaimini since A6 also means changes. See house placement is very important, take for e.g. the caseof Sanjay Rath he has Ketu in Sagittarius but if it was in 5H in Sagittarius then you could have createdsome students (5H-sishyas) like figures who would go on to become Gurus in Jaimini or you could havethrived a lot to bring out the real Jaimini Astrology out in the open or it could be that you would Lovereading a lot on Jaimini astrology as 5H is the house of love, this way one should use flexibility in onesinterpretation. Ketu in 3H can make you write a lot on Jaimini or talk a lot on Jaimini but rememberwhere Ketu is there mistake will happen so one must be careful of one’s writing if Ketu is in 3H, there isno 99% in the above. Ketu in 12H in Leo can make you write a lot on Jaimini, so much must be writtenabout just Ketu in Leo and astrology connection yet space limitations bar us, but one thing can be said ifthis Ketu is rightly uses ‘Super Knowledge’ can come out, only thing is ego should be conquered andthen you would be No.1, if you are unable to conquer ego kids in astrology will come and break (Ketu)you to pieces, again no 99% in this. Suppose you have Ketu in the debilitated sign of Gemini in the 1Hof everything then you can be instrumental in removing the cobwebs of misinterpretation of Jaiminiastrology by removing rare manuscripts of Jaimini out in open, we know 2 astrologers with samecombination and both have been instrumental in giving out freely rare Jaimini manuscripts to theworld, as it is debilitated no name no ego will come into the picture & these guys might never be known.53

Ketu in Gemini means debt towards astrology (in astrologer’s charts), the sooner a man with this comborealizes this better for his karma, if Ketu with Gemini is in the 1H it is ‘Super Debt towards JaiminiAstrology’ from previous lifetimes as it shows abuse of Jaimini Astrology in the past, when this debtgiving will manifest Jupiter and Mars placement will decide if it would be this lifetime or some otherbut the debt will be seen. Speaking of 1H suppose Ketu is there, you got the combo to learn Jaiminiespecially some rare points in it and if say it is in sign Leo (natural sign of authorship) your Karma inthis life could be to write a monumental work on Jaimini astrology. Coming back to Ketu is in Pisces or12H (Pisces in natural zodiac) certain ego can come since a planet feels comfortable and thus proud inown sign or exalted sign. Ketu denotes fish and Pisces symbol is fish and also a watery sign. Do not getfooled by seeing Ketu in its debilitated sign or for that matter any planet, debilitation is only a state ofcondition, it means more efforts are required to bring the talent out if the other 11 houses support. Thusyou will get a hint that Ketu and Jaimini astrology are very much interlinked.Finally, in this C S Patel Manuscript Centric Issue we publish translations of some of the rarestof manuscripts first time seen in the jyotish world, where the writers, translators have burnt themidnight oil to get them for you and also release 5 new Jaimini Manuscripts donated by RavindraBhagavat, digital size of it is reduced by Raja Sekhar, New Jersey to honor 92 year old Late C S Patelwho started the trend of removing rare shlokas from manuscripts that were forgotten by the jyotishworld. Also all those unseen and unheard of heroes who have preserved these manuscripts must be firstbowed to.Let this aggressive translation projects be called ‘Mission Saptarishis’ where we allcome together to remove all the knowledge from now to the era of the Saptarishis and pay our Debts tothe Sages. 1616 Publisher: In Indian culture there are 4 kinds of debts that a human is supposed to pay back before he dies and one of themis Rishi Rin, which means the debt towards the Sages and unless this is done Moksha is not possible is the belief since ages. Itis the belief of the people in the Inner Circle of Saptarishis Astrology Magazine which is based on many years of closeobservation that unless knowledge is given out real knowledge in astrology never comes.54

Saptarishis Astrology UpdateOn the auspicious occasion of Datta Jayanti (1 st Dec 2009), the day of Lord Dattatreya who isconsidered the Guru of Gurus and a Guru avatar of Brahma, Vishnu, Maheshwara, this issue of themagazine which is a 922 odd page volume is being placed at the holy feet of Late Shri C.S.Patel whostarted the movement of removing rare shlokas from unknown manuscripts and presenting it in english forthe benefit of the astrological world and hope that the injustice done to him by publishers of magazines andbooks at that time is healed to some extent now. By honoring such a gifted soul who did not have any guruor parampara or organisation or great money behind him one only exemplifies that even you can alsobecome a C.S.Patel of Jyotish if you work honestly without craving for position, money or fame but havetrue concern of helping the jyotish community and not just for name sake.This issue has been the one where maximum work has gone and one hopes that the readers of themagazine enjoy it as much as the extreme hard work that has gone into it by the volunteers, writers andteam members. Though there has been more than 2 months delay in getting this out due to various factors ofadministration, it is sufficiently big around 930 pages for readers to mull over it minutely for the next 6-9months. The only difference would be a new entrant would finish reading this issue within a month whereasa true seeker would spend few years trying to find the meaning of each shloka presented and testing thevarious techniques presented. Each one of you including the new entrants are requested to mull on it foryears and to test each technique aggressively. Our vision is not to be seen every month or every 3 months butto remove the hidden knowledge and manuscripts out as it is felt that today we practice or teach astrologyafter just 10-20 years of learning without having read all the available material on astrology, this is Un-Shastriac and a practice that must be stopped by us only (complete jyotish community). To translate andhunt manuscripts it takes time and hence would like to come out either once or twice a year and concentrateon travelling over interiors of India with our limited resources. Hence once again a change in policy must bementioned wherein the next probable date of release could be June-July 2010.BSPsAlso one of the significant reasons behind this development is with the resources at hand it’s becomea bit tougher and we would rather concentrate on writing on Bhrighu Saral Paddathis and makesome steps towards finishing the Rishi Debt that the jyotish community is needed to do. As of nowthere are 300 Bhrighu Saral Paddathis out of which we have received (for the lack of a better word)around 60, out of which more than 15 are lost by us due to not noting it down properly & memory issues, butthe rest of it must be aggressively tested and as quickly as possible written in article form for you all to test itfurther and understand what the technique is saying and most important what it is not saying. Even if wepresent 2 BSPs in an issue, in this lifetime we would not cover the complete 300 hence in this issue many aregiven. There is a specific methodology that is not mentioned in all Bhrighu Saral Paddathis articles which isthe key to ‘How to use it’. This is difficult to explain in written form but if you constantly use it then youwould get the Master Key yourself of how to use it more and more effectively, after 18 months of constantuse you would surely reach at a much higher level than even what we have attained. But one must not forgetthat to use BSPs the rules of Jyotisha Purusha need to be followed otherwise failure in ones usage will surelyresult, this is what has been written and observed.We request more translators, typists, proof readers, Sanskrit scholars, english language editors tocome forward as there is a dearth of them especially the ones who can selflessly do this for the futuregenerations. Even a work like typing an article or manuscript is not considered low status volunteer workand infact we here at Saptarishis Astrology have the highest regard for those who do it. These are far biggerthan the gurus of today. The amount of manuscripts and old works lying with us is so much that one onlyworries as to when it would come out for everyone since today there is truly a lack of quality information forJyotishis and to bridge that gap would take centuries hence our hurry in creating such big volumes. The nextissue which would be the 2 nd Anniversary Issue would be dedicated to volunteers, translators, authors andcopy editors of the magazine. For the Anniversary Issue we invite letters from all to express their criticismor appreciation for the articles presented so far which would be published in the Anniversary Issue.55

His work hasincluded large scale murals, small scalepanel paintings, portraits and figurativework. He has clients in the UK and USA.As I’m writing this article the mediaare busy watching the presentfinancial crisis unfold. Our worldleaders attend important sounding‘summits’ where they spend their timedeftly solving the financial woes of theworld. Cheering and booing from thesidelines the media marvel at the beauty ofMrs Sarkozy and gossip over Mrs Obama’sfashion choices, while many of the rest of usare faced with the mundane and not sosimple task of finding another job in thesefinancially uncertain times. As the growinglegions of unemployed wonder what to donext, it might be instructive to see whatastrology has to say on the subject, indeed tosee if it can point us in the right directionand help us navigate through troubledwaters.The approach in theory is clear and simple.The practical application is, like all thingspractical, not quite so simple.1. Lord 10 will signify the job and the LordAscendant and Moon will signify thequerent.2. Connect Lord Ascendant or Moon withLord 10 or vice versa and we have newjob and querent coming together. Fail todo this and we do not.3. Take the distance between them, figureout the time units, count the degrees56

to perfection and we have the timing of the event.Now a lot of time this is exactly what we will see or rather, things being what they are, whatwe won’t see. Usually our attempts to force the chart into contortions to connect querentand job show simply a large dose of wishful thinking about a job that is, at least in thecontext, not essentially available. Yes you can apply for it, yes you are simply perfect for it,but no, you’re not going to get it.It will be helpful to look at some examples, to see how the reality and the intricacies of thematter and method play out... 1‘When will either I or my wife get some work?’The querent was in financial difficulty and worried; Lord Ascendant is Jupiter which hasjust turned retrograde in the 8 th house of anxiety. Lord 2 signifying his money is also in aprecarious situation inside the 12 th house of self undoing and about to change sign and lose all1 For explanations of traditional techniques of dignities, debilities and antiscia I refer the reader back tomy earlier article ‘The Divine Michelangelo’.57

its dignity by triplicity. 2 Mercury, Lord 7, is the querent’s wife and this planet is alsoretrograde and in its detriment and fall, so she too is not in a good way. With Mercury alsoabout to back onto the malefic South Node by antiscion this situation looks quite precariousindeed. The querent is also signified by the Moon who being close to malefic fixed starCaput Algol shows that emotionally he is losing his head in the situation.As I said earlier, ideally we’d want a connection between Lord Ascendant, Lord 10 or Lord 7and Lord 10 – but here there is neither. One apparent problem is that Lord 10 and Lord Ascendantare the same planet. But when the querent is self employed, as in this question, this can bequite common showing that in this sense; person and job are one and the same. We can lookfor other significators of the job usually the ruler of the next sign on the 10 th in this caseSaturn but before we jump to this let us see what we already have in front of us.There is an aspect, showing something is about to happen, and this aspect is Moon to sextileMercury in 1 degree. In context of the question the Moon, natural ruler of wives, to aspectMercury turned 3 Lord 10 could show wife getting some work (also note that Saturn willretrograde onto antiscion of Moon).To figure out the nature of the time units involved we consider only the applying planet andthe sign and the house he is in. A fixed sign indicates a slow time unit, mutable a mediumand cardinal a fast time unit. We add to this the house, with angular house equalling slow,succedent /medium and cadent / fast. This gives us the following combinations: Fixed andAngular gives us slow, Fixed and succedent / medium, fixed and cadent again gives usmedium. Mutable and angular gives us medium, mutable and succedent/ medium, mutableand cadent also gives us a medium unit. Cardinal and angular is medium unit, cardinal andsuccedent/ medium and cardinal and cadent gives us fast. As you can see this weights themedium unit heavily, but none the less this system works very well and is quite capable ofshowing fast if the event is fast and slow if it is slow. Try and you will see. The number ofdegrees to perfection of the aspect gives us the quantity of time units i.e. ten degree toperfection equals ten hours, days, weeks, months or years or whatever unit we’ve judged touse. For a further detailed exposition of this method I refer you to John Frawley’s masterfuland remarkably clear work ‘The Horary Textbook’.As with all things in Astrology it is vital that we apply this timing method within thecontext of the situation. We still need to weigh the testimonies carefully and most of all, we2 Lord 2 Venus is in Capricorn and so is dignified in it’s triplicity by day. This is a day chart eventhough the Sun is not quite above the horizon as it would have already been light outside. Always givethe day a few degrees leeway at sunrise and sunset as the Sun’s light is visible just before it rises and justafter it sets.3 Mercury is ruler of the ‘turned 10 th’ his wife’s 10 th house, and so is significator of her job. We find theturned 10 th house by counting from her 1 st house (the 7 th in the chart) and ‘turning the chart’ until wecome to her 10 th (the 4 th in the chart).58

must remember that this is not a mechanistic tool and it cannot be applied in the manner ofone.So in this context the applying planet is in a fixed sign and so suggests a slow time unit butit is also in a succedent house suggesting a medium unit of time. Slow and medium togethergives us medium. As there was no hint of any upcoming work at all to the knowledge of thequerent and his wife we could safely say that the most obvious unit would be weeks, usingdays/fast, weeks/medium, months/slow. But with the knowledge that due to the nature ofher business she would normally hear on the grapevine about any upcoming work coupledwith the fixity of the Moon slowing things down we may well decide to push up the timeunit to a month.And so the judgement was that the querent’s wife would get some work most likely in 1month’s time.And so it proved – querent’s wife started work on the 4 th April – a month later from thechart.Take Job?During times of financial difficulty we are often tempted to apply for or take on ajob that is most certainly not the best thing for us. This next chart shows thisexact situation. In this instance, thankfully for the querent, he looked before heleapt.59

Querent was worried and very unsure about taking a job that had been offered to him. Hewas, ‘worried that it might be a nightmare’. Lord Ascendant the Sun has just lost all hisdignity and is now in the detriment of Lord 10 showing he really doesn’t want this job.Mars is Lord 10, the job. He has dignity by triplicity and term but more importantly isseriously debilitated in his fall close to the querent’s 12 th house of self undoing, as if it wereleaning on his self undoing, this screams out ‘don’t take it’ and in the context shows thepossibility that the job will undermine the querent and cause him problems.We can go a bit deeper into the chart...Lord Ascendant has recently lost his dignity and is now ruled by Venus Lord 11 or rather 2from 10 the jobs money or wages, this is what he is now interested in. The wages are in theirexaltation and so very good indeed and the benific North Node is near the 10 th house cuspshowing increase and beneficence which is of course, also promising. The Moon is Void ofCourse and is in its detriment exalting the job and in mutual reception with the job. Thisshows that the querent is emotionally exalting the job, putting it on a pedestal. That theMoon is also in its detriment shows that this is a debilitated Moon, it is not as it should be,and its love for the job is reciprocated by the job itself, meaning they both want to betogether. This is cause for concern: He may be blindly drawn into this - With the MoonVoid of Course the querent would be unlikely to ruffle the status quo and so if he hascommitted to the job and now is just having second thoughts, then things would veryprobably continue as they are, and he would be drawn into it. Hopefully he has notcommitted in any way. Saturn is also in its detriment inside the 1 st house the weight ofSaturn weighing down on the querent which doesn’t bode well generally. This can be quitecommon in situations like these.Querent thought about the situation some more. He had not yet committed himself to thejob, and explained that though he somehow felt he wanted the job, shown by the Moonexalting it, that he also didn’t want the job, shown by Lord Ascendant the Sun, in thedetriment of it. This is a classic heart (Moon), head (Lord Ascendant) split. Of the typeusually seen in personal relationships, but as you can see, not limited to them.The querent decided not to take the job. Looking back at this chart we can see that he madea good decision as the job, though well paid, would probably have been the nightmare that heimagined it would.Is My Job Safe?n difficult economic downturns we may still have a job, but if we work for a companythat is restructuring, downsizing, or randomly contorting in order to stay afloat we mayIalso be urgently occupied with the question of ‘will my position in this company last?’60

the friendly executive having a word in the querent’s ear warning her away from aconfrontation with the people in charge. The querent later mentioned to me that her linemanagerdid indeed do this.I judged that her job would still exist. Lord 10 had too much dignity and was not about tolose it. Mercury’s position in its own sign and exaltation so close to the Midheaven was verystrong. Yes it would hit the South Node and things would go downhill but it would stillmaintain its dignity and not essentially change. The querent would probably lose heart andinterest in the job herself shown by the dire impending situation of the Lord Ascendant andso she could be in danger of quitting rather than being laid off. But there is also a fixed signon her ascendant and even though her Lord Ascendant was entering a cardinal or ‘movablesign’ the fixedness of the horizon I felt would help hold things together even though herheart was not in it as shown by the Moon in the detriment and fall of the job and alsoopposing the Sun.And yes things did change – A supposed ‘new job’ was created as a result of her company‘rebranding’ but as the querent told me her job remains technically exactly the same – shownin the chart by Lord 10 essentially maintaining its dignity and so it does not in essencechange even despite the accidental debility of heading to the South Node. It nonethelessbecame more difficult for the querent to execute the tasks that she has to do: essentially itwould remain good but it would be debilitated by the conjunction with the South Node.Lord Ascendant moves into its detriment and so, losing heart, the querent begins to look ather work as just ‘a job’ also shown by her significator moving out of the dignities of Lord 10– literally, she fell out of love with her job and though she did not quit but remainedworking in it, showing the fixedness of the horizon and the job remaining after allessentially what it always was.Let us move on from such difficulties and trials and end on a hopeful note. Here is a nicewell behaved chart that shows the timing of the ‘next job’ beautifully...Will This Job Come Through? Will It Happen? When?Querent had repeatedly and unsuccessfully tried to contact by telephone the personoffering him the job. This person had previously offered the querent work that hadfailed to materialize and the querent wondered if this would be the same story.Moon trine Sun is generally a positive testimony but this is now separating and the Moon isheading into the Via Combusta, showing a period of emotional turmoil, in the 10 th house ofwork thus Indicating querent’s worry over the job and his feeling that it might not happen.The Moon is also opposing the antiscion of Saturn and so maybe showing client’sfrustration and inability to get hold of his potential employer by telephone as Saturn is Lord3 – messages/telephone calls.62

But the job is signified by Venus Lord 10 who is thankfully in an applying sextile aspectwith the querent, signified by Lord Ascendant Jupiter. This will perfect in less than a degree– in fact in about 10 minutes of arc. Venus is in a movable sign and so it is a fast time unit,but she is in a succedent house which gives us a medium unit. Together they point to amedium unit. Again a realistic option within the context of the situation was days/fast,weeks/medium and months/slow. This would give us a week as our basic time unit. Theaspect is almost perfected and so if our time unit for the degrees to perfection is a week andthe aspect perfects in around 10 minutes of arc and so, very, very soon, 10 minutes willprobably show a day.The judgement was that yes the job will come through within a day from now.And so it proved much to the querent’s amazement: the man with the job called him withinan hour of the chart being set to see if he could indeed start work the very next day.These charts, and many others, continually show us that things happen in their own time,despite what we may think or want. Contrary to opinion, the knowledge of this does notcondemn us to wandering around like doomed fatalists waiting to be showered with largesseor lightning. No, far from it, it demands instead that we do what we can, what is within ourpowers to do, in fact what it is our ‘job’ to do. We must try to make sure that we are readywhen the opportunity knocks, hone our skills and develop our vision so we can spot anopportunity when we see it. We can nurture our hope and expand our horizons to take in63

possibilities that we may not of considered and remember that our unfortunatecircumstances may provide the opportunity for better things to manifest. We may simplyfind that we are looking for opportunities in the wrong place, a bit like looking for a jar ofsweets in an empty cupboard – no matter how hard we look we won’t find what we arelooking for. Or equally, we may be looking at the wrong time – the cupboard has not beenrestocked mum hasn’t returned home from the shops yet. These things can be clearly seen inthe horary chart. And so the idea behind all of this is to bring us and our will into harmonywith the larger will that is out there, which is shepherding and guiding us towards our nextopportunity, which again, contrary to received opinion, is also out there waiting within thethreads of time, waiting till we finally meet. Let’s hope we are ready.64

ConfiguracionesUniversales Hacia ElByBlanca Bustamante Martino,MexicoI am Blanca Bustamante Martino bornin Mexico City the 24 of July 1946, I wasliving for a long time in Greece between1972 and 1974 I was travelling along allEurope, 1974 almost 14 years married to aGerman we had in the Island of Samos aBungalow Hotel with windsurf andYachting, then began my passion forastrology I began to study with the GermanWolfgang Döberainer and Joya Schaetzle,1984, after 1987 I returned to Mexico, and Iam Living now in Cuernavaca the so calledCity of Etern Spring, besides Astrologywhich is my main ocupation I have asHobbie painting. http://www.astrozod.comEn este articulo veremos lasconfiguraciones universales que segenerarán a partir del mes deDiciembre del 2007, como se trata de unproceso en el que varias configuraciones seirán formando hasta formar T en la cuallos protagonistas son Plutón enCapricornio, Urano y Júpiter en Aries ySaturno en Libra, todos en los primerosgrados de los signos cardinales, creo que setrata de eventos que serán importantes anivel mundial.CONFIGURACIONES UNIVERSALESHACIA EL 2010.La primera configuración importante quese generará antes de la entrada de Plutón aCapricornio será la conjunción de Júpiter yPlutón, en el signo de Sagitario. Esta segenera, el 11 de Diciembre del 2007 a las7.18pm, tiempo de Greenwich, a 28.23.34ºdel signo de Sagitario.El simbolismo de Júpiter nos habla de quetodos necesitamos valores y creencias, poresto Júpiter se asocia generalmente a lasreligiones, representa también las leyes, lajusticia como medio para controlar a lapoblación, representa las cortes, las iglesias,la filosofía, la filantropía, también se asociaa la prosperidad, la riqueza, y los temasfinancieros, pero más bien a las altasfinanzas. Júpiter en Sagitario esta enregencia así que es el más fuerte de los dos.Sagitario representa todos los asuntos65

como temas migratorios, empresas de turismo, líneas aéreas, a los atletas o los deportes, eljuego, los viajes, los jueces, los legisladores, la salud rige las caderas, muslos, el hígado y lasenfermedades como la hepatitis, la diabetes.Plutón en la mitología es denominado el Dios de la Muerte rige todo lo que esta oculto, loque es secreto, su dominio es el submundo, la sombra del colectivo, rige a los arqueólogosque podrían encontrar algo, rige a la policía secreta y al crimen organizado, los impulsosdestructivos, la muerte el renacimiento, el fin de algo y el inicio, la transformación, losprocesos virales, y las bacterias, los órganos urogenitales, las masas la destrucción, el poderatómico, el crimen, el rapto, las dictaduras, las obsesiones. La palabra “Plutos” en Griegosimboliza riqueza por lo que se asocia también a la abundancia.Las transformaciones suelen ser lentas profundas y en ocasiones dolorosas y destructivasantes de volver a crear algo nuevo.La conjunción de estos dos planetas cuyo ciclo es de doce años, se relaciona a veces con elcrecimiento del terrorismo internacional, o el desarrollo del poder político internacional. Lacombinación nos habla de poder de todas las clases, puede ser físico, material mental oespiritual. Las conjunciones en el siglo pasado ocurrieron en los años 1906, 1928, 1931, 1943,1955-56, 1968, 1981, la ultima ocurrió el 2 de Diciembre de 1994, a 28º de Escorpio.Algunos astrólogos hablan de esta gran conjunción como típica de pandemias, provocadaspor virus o por bacterias.Obviamente tendrá que ver con el comercio internacional, las bolsas de valores, tal veznuevas filosofías, religiones, leyes, nuevos ideales, nuevos líderes, reformas.Después viene la entrada de Plutón a Capricornio el 27 de Enero del 2008, signo cardinal detierra que rige la ambición las estructuras.Plutón descubierto en Enero de 1930. Cuando esto sucede estamos en el mundo en una grandepresión y las pérdidas se asocian al dinero, los craks de la bolsa de valores. La época de losGangsters de la mafia que jugaba en aquel entonces un papel importante en los EstadosUnidos y que formaban parte del mundo subterráneo, y tenía sus propias leyes. La forma devivir de estos individuos es un excelente símbolo de Plutón.Otra influencia de Plutón es la energía atómica, porque el neutrón fue descubierto solo dosaños después de que este planeta es descubierto. Y esta energía puede matar millones de sereshumanos.El petróleo y el carbón se extrae de las profundidades de la tierra y es también símbolo deesta energía. Así como las explosiones volcánicas.Su entrada al signo de capricornio signo de tierra cardinal cuya palabra clave es la ambición.Es el décimo signo del zodiaco, rige las tradiciones, los gobiernos y sus gobernantes, laperfección, el trabajo duro, la seriedad, la seguridad, la estabilidad, las autoridades, laorganización, la solidificación, las estructuras la sabiduría y los límites.66

Saturno es su planeta regente.El simbolismo de esta entrada sería algo así como evolución, y cambios necesarios hacia otrossistemas, reestructuración.Los primeros 10 grados de este signo los rige saturno. Y Plutón estuvo aquí la ultima vezentre 1762 y 1778.La independencia de Estados Unidos, el invento de la maquina de vapor, el reinado de LuisXVI y Maria Antonieta, la revolución industrial, la rigidez de muchos gobiernos de la épocallevó a rebelión y levantamientos en años posteriores.La lección a aprender durante este periodo, si Capricornio rige la constancia la perseverancia,la eficiencia, y la organización, tal vez sería que el mundo debería crear una nueva forma deorganizarse y de trabajar creando nuevas leyes y estructuras. Como Plutón trae consigotransformaciones pero antes elimina lo que no sirve, es posible que traiga consigo grandescambios políticos y sociales, una nueva estructura en el poder.Otro punto a tomar en cuenta sería ver lo que han traído otros planetas transpersonalesúltimamente, y lo más cercano es la triple conjunción de Saturno Urano y Neptuno enCapricornio hacia finales de los 80ª Esto sucedió en el año 1989, crearon la caída del régimencomunista, la caída del muro de Berlín, y una reorganización mundial, por tanto la entradade Plutón a Capricornio puede traer también un reacomodo y reorganización en los poderes,tal vez se den cuenta que la globalización no es lo adecuado para todos y puede haber uncambio en las estructuras materiales.Otra manifestación puede ser la lucha de los energéticos del mundo como son el petróleo, elgas y todos los energéticos, así como la riqueza que yace en el subsuelo. De hecho durante laoposición de Saturno a Plutón en el 2001, empezaron a generarse conflictos por la lucha deestos energéticos, cuyo resultado fue la ocupación de Afganistán e Irak, países que poseenestas fuentes energéticas, la lucha contra el terrorismo es también símbolo de este tiempo. Lamafia y la lucha por territorios para distribuir la droga puede ser otra manifestación de estetiempo que no debemos dejar de lado.En lo particular la carta que más llama mi atención es la carta de México, relacionada con laentrada del ejercito trigarante a la Ciudad de México.Pues esta carta tiene como ascendente a Capricornio estando en el ascendente la conjunciónde Urano a 29.18 de Sagitario y Neptuno a 0.22 de Capricornio, ambos cuadrando a Plutón a28.39 de Piscis y al sol a 4 de Libra, esto en astrología se llama una T de la cual UranoNeptuno y el ascendente de México forman el punto clave de los dos brazos de la cuadraturacerrados por la oposición de Plutón y el solEsto podría informarnos de grandes cambios a nivel colectivo en el país.Aquí hay que ir otra vez al pasado para ver lo que causaron los tránsitos anteriores a estospuntos.67

Cuando Urano y Neptuno estuvieron en oposición el 1910 fue la Revolución, También aquíPlutón en Transito estaba cuadrando a Plutón de la carta de la declaración de laindependencia.Cuando Urano y Plutón hacen cuadraturas desde Virgo en el 68, tenemos grandesmanifestaciones que terminan en la matanza de Tlaltelolco.Cuando Neptuno entra al signo de Capricornio y activa el ascendente de México tenemos elterremoto del 1985.Cuando se vuelve a generar la gran conjunción de Urano y Neptuno en febrero del 93, seactiva en diciembre del 93, tenemos primero el asesinato de Colosio, el de Ruiz Masieu, y ellevantamiento en Chiapas, además de que el 1º de Enero del 94 entra en vigor NAFTA.Por toda esta investigación es de pensar que en nuestro país habrá grandes transformacionesy cambios que ya empiezan a acercarse ala efervescencia política y la polarización actual será algo que tendremos que tomar en cuentasi no deseamos que estas transformaciones necesarias nos lleven a hechos violentos.El siguiente ciclo a analizar es el ciclo Saturno Plutón es de aproximadamente 33 años. Así laultima gran conjunción se dio el 8 de Noviembre de 1982 en el signo de Libra a 27º terminaráen cuanto estos dos mismos planetas vuelvan a estar en conjunción el 13 de Enero del 2020 a22.47º de capricornio. La semilla de esta gran conjunción tiene cualidades de Libra que nosllevan a pensar sobre la búsqueda del equilibrio, la armonía, la justicia en el mundo, peroparadójicamente lo que hemos visto hasta ahora es justamente lo contrario la pérdida delequilibrio cuando menos en lo ecológico y en lo político.Este ciclo siempre se asocia a profundas transformaciones, políticas, económicas y aldesarrollo de las estructuras culturales.Hagamos un recuento de las últimas conjunciones entre estos dos planetasCuando en el año 1947 la gran conjunción anterior se dio en el signo de Leo el 11 de Agosto,fue cuando India, Pakistán, Burma tuvieron su independencia de Inglaterra, también estosciclos se asocian a Israel que tuvo su independencia solo un año después todavía cuando lagran conjunción estaba en orbe. Europa estaba en plena reconstrucción después de la 2aGuerra Mundial. Otro país que empieza a emerger con esta gran conjunción del 47 fueChina aunque la Republica es proclamada hasta Octubre de 1949. En 1948 después de laguerra Estados Unidos implementa el programa para la recuperación de Europa. En Abril de1948 se constituye la OECE organización Europea de Cooperación Económica, se firmatambién el tratado de Dunkerque entre Inglaterra y Francia, el resultado de estos acuerdos enAbril de 1949 fue el nacimiento de la OTAN. También pertenece a este ciclo la constituciónde la ONU firmada el 24 de Octubre de 1945, entrando en Vigor el 3 de Mayo de 1946.La gran conjunción anterior a esta tuvo lugar en Octubre de 1914 a 2.14º de Cáncer, un signocardinal, el signo opuesto en que ahora estará. Las dos primeras Guerras mundiales estánincluidas en estos dos últimos ciclos. Esto puede verse más a fondo en el artículo publicadoen Abril del 2001, sobre los ciclos Saturno Plutón y sus manifestaciones.68

Los eventos que ahora se asocian a esta gran conjunción, la última de 1982, en ese entoncesempieza la influencia de “EL NIÑO” fenómeno que tiene que ver con los cambios climáticosen el mundo y que cada vez observamos que traen consigo debido a los cambios en latemperatura, muchos más ciclones, e inundaciones, pero a la vez sequías en todo el mundo,el equilibrio simbolizado por el signo de “Libra” parece haberse roto, hemos infligido lasleyes de la naturaleza y tendremos que sufrir las consecuencias. Los dos planetas tantoSaturno como Plutón tienen que ver con el karma que hemos creado.Otro evento saliente de esa época es una fuerte crisis financiera en México. Y en este mismopaís tenemos la erupción del volcán “El Chichón. El presidente López Portillo nacionaliza labanca.Otros eventos de este ciclo son.La guerra de las Malvinas entre Argentina e Inglaterra.Un poco antes en el 81 empieza el movimiento de Solidaridad en Polonia.El endeudamiento regional Latinoamericano provoca una crisis financiera internacional.En el medio Oriente guerra entre Israel y Líbano, el propósito de Begin era expulsar a losPalestinos de Beirut, el responsable de la invasión es Ariel Sharon. Israel Quiere asumir lainfluencia sobre Siria en la región.. Ya en el año 1981 Hay un ataque de Israel contra lacentral nuclear de Tammuz en Irak, el motivo Israel quiere destruir el reactor nuclear.Francia había enviado Uranio a Irak.El presidente de Egipto Sadat es asesinado el 6 de octubre de 1981, el era un mediador de lapaz entre Israel y Egipto en aquella época.En diciembre de 1981 Israel se anexa los altos del Golán. Y entre 1980 y 1982 la Península deSinai es devuelta a Egipto.En 1982 muere Breshnev el presidente de la U.R.S.S. y entra en su lugar Andropov.A partir de 1980 y hasta 1988 también hay una guerra llamada la primera guerra del Golfo enla cual Irak invade a Irán, por conflictos territoriales, España les suministra armas a ambos.Eventos deportivos la copa mundial 1982 en España de foot-tball gana Italia.Crece el mercado mundial de computadoras.Algunos astrólogos que son entendidos en astrología mundial hablan del ciclo como,momentos de cambios estructurales en la humanidad en los que es necesario regresar a lobásico, se generan crisis de autoridad, también casi siempre cuando estos dos planetas estánen aspectos difíciles hay crisis financieras y en algunos casos guerras.La siguiente primera cuadratura entre estos dos planetas se genera el 20 marzo de 1993estando Saturno en Acuario entre los grados 25.23º de Acuario y Plutón en Escorpio, y69

termina los primeros días de Enero de 1994, a 27.02º de Acuario y Plutón esta en estosmismos grados cuadrando desde el signo de Escorpio, pero este aspecto de tensión estuvoademás acompañado de la gran conjunción de Neptuno y Urano que se dio entre los grados19.30º de Capricornio empezando en Febrero de 1993, y terminando a finales de ese año yprincipios del 1994. Así aquí tenemos dos ciclos de planetas transpersonales entrelazadosentre si.Ahora en el 2010 tendremos los ciclos Júpiter Saturno, Júpiter Urano, Júpiter Plutón, SaturnoUrano, Saturno Plutón y Urano Plutón. Son 6 ciclos entrelazados entre si lo que hace másdifícil su interpretación.Pero regresemos a la primera cuadratura de Saturno Plutón y sus eventos. En México hayeventos salientes en este ciclo año 1993-94, la muerte de Luis Donaldo Colosio, candidato a lapresidencia muere en Marzo del 93, la muerte de Ruiz Massieu también político conocido delPRI. El levantamiento del Ejercito Zapatista el 1º de Enero de 1994, la crisis económica quedeja el gobierno de Salinas de Gortari. El inicio del tratado de Libre comercio entre EstadosUnidos, México y Canadá.Otros eventos importantes en este ciclo, en septiembre de 1993 inundaciones graves enDakota norte y sur, Nebraska, Kansas, Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, Winsconsin e Illinois. 50muertos y 15 billones de pérdidas, los ríos se desbordan 10,000 casas destruidas, 75 pueblosdañados.Violentos eventos el 3 y 4 de Octubre en Moscú, los detractores de Boris Yeltzin se oponen,esto lleva a la disolución del parlamento sus opositores son encarcelados, y posteriormentepuestos en libertad en Febrero del 94. En la revuelta hay 146 muertos y más de 1000 heridos,se convoca a nuevas elecciones lo que le cuesta a Rusia más de $ 300 millones de Dólares.1993 primer atentado terrorista a las Torres Gemelas.1994 Atentado terrorista en Argentina a la sede del edificio de la mutual Judía AMIMA 100muertos.En 1994 entra en función Internet que revoluciona el mundo de la información.Cuando se genera la oposición dentro de este mismo ciclo y si alguien quiere ver las últimasrepercusiones sobre este ciclo recomiendo ir a mi página www.astrozod.com. ArtículoSaturno Plutón, cuando se generó la oposición en el año 2001, la oposición se da el 6 deAgosto del 2001, a los 12.37º de los signos Géminis Sagitario, solo un mes antes de losatentados, activando la carta de los Estados unidos con el ascendente a 12º de Sagitario. Lasguerras que inicia Estados Unidos contra Afganistán e Irak son repercusiones del ciclo, asícomo la crisis económica a nivel mundial que siempre trae consigo este ciclo. Cuando esteciclo se activa también se ha observado que los problemas en Israel y el oriente mediotambién surgen.Ya vimos los simbolismos de plutón y Saturno y debemos recordar que esta gran conjunciónla ultima se generó en Libra en el 81, sabemos que saturno rige las estructuras, la disciplina, elsentido de la responsabilidad, la organización, la ambición, las leyes científicas y las leyes70

que rigen al universo, el tiempo, la profundidad, la paciencia, la constancia, la perseverancia,la solidificación, la sabiduría. Debemos recordar que Saturno es denominado el Señor delKarma y que trae siempre consigo las lecciones y consecuencias de lo que hemos sembradoen la vida. Así cuando el ciclo se manifiesta tendremos como colectivo las consecuencias delo que se ha sembrado en el pasado, a partir del inicio del ciclo en 1982. Al entrar a Libra, elsigno que rige el equilibrio, las leyes, la justicia, la imparcialidad, las relaciones con losdemás, la diplomacia, el tacto, la cooperación. Si no cumplimos con estas normas, es posibleque los problemas empiecen a suscitarse, debido a que ambos planetas están haciendo unaspecto de tensión que marca tiempos difíciles.La configuración al estar en signos cardinales puede traer consigo Transformacionesradicales en las estructuras mundiales, en las leyes, en los tratados internacionales y en lapolítica, conlleva el riesgo de que se adopten actitudes que implican resistencia hacia loscambios necesarios para la humanidad, si persiste una actitud obstinada (plutón) y temerosa(Saturno), no solo se crean obstáculos para la evolución, esto perjudicará el equilibrio ydañará las relaciones entre países, y gobernantes, que como resultado dañan a la tierra engeneral. Los que desean controlar el mundo provocarán un gran desgaste de energía,provocando miedo en la sociedad y en las relaciones internacionales.Ahora bien quienes son los que se ven involucrados en estos eventos principalmente. Seránlos países cuyas cartas tengan como ascendente o como signo solar los primeros grados de lossignos cardinales, Libra, Capricornio, Aries, y Cáncer. Así como todos los países cuyas cartastengan relación con estos ciclos, como Israel, India, Pakistán, Burma, China, Japón,instituciones como la ONU, la OTAN cuya constitución fue creada después de la segundaguerra mundial.México, con una de sus más importantes cartas la terminación de la guerra de independenciay la entada del ejercito trigarante a la ciudad de México, con su ascendente a 00 deCapricornio, como antes vimos puede ser uno de los protagonistas, la Republica FederalAlemana cuya carta es del 22 de Mayo de 1949, y cuyo ascendente esta a 5 de Capricornio.Nueva Zelanda, cuya carta es del 26 de Septiembre del 1906, a las 23.21GMT, cuyoascendente también es Capricornio y el sol esta a 1º de Libra, Y que pertenece también a esteCiclo por formarse en su carta la cuadratura entre Plutón y Saturno. Turquía que proclamasu República el 29 de Octubre de 1923 en Ankara cuyo ascendente es 7º de Cáncer y su luna a29.56 de Géminis. Hay dos cartas de Canadá que indican también que este país puede tenereventos pues la primera es el dominio de Canadá del 1º de Julio de 1867 en Ottawa, a las 00.00Hrs LT. En esta carta vemos a Saturno y a Plutón en oposición entre los signos de Tauro yEscorpio, y en la carta de la constitución de Canadá para la firma de la constitución por lareina el 17 de Abril de 1982, en Ottawa también tenemos el ciclo Saturno Plutón en Libra, y elciclo Júpiter Plutón que también tiene relación a estas configuraciones del 2010. No tengodesafortunadamente las cartas de todos los países que se verán involucrados. En la carta deindependencia de Estados Unidos Venus esta a 3º de cáncer, por lo que la configuración quese formará, hará aspectos tensos a este planeta símbolo de las relaciones y la economía,creando posiblemente una crisis económica, en ese país.A nivel personal también afecta a las personas cuyos signos ascendente o solar estén en losprimeros grados de los signos cardinales Aries, Cáncer Capricornio y Libra, que son los71

nacidos entre el 21 y el 23 de Marzo, entre el 21 y el 24 de Junio, entre el 22 y el 25 deSeptiembre, y entre el 22 y 25 de Diciembre.Si por ejemplo cuando inicia la gran conjunción en el año 1982 se inicia el fenómeno delNIÑO, es posible que este fenómeno cobre mayor importancia, y esto es algo que conformehan pasado los años hemos visto que va en aumento. Todo dependerá de las coordenadas anivel astrocartográfico ahí podremos ver cuales son las zonas más afectadas por el ciclo. Esposible que México por su posición geográfica y por los tránsitos hacia su carta sea uno de lospaíses afectados.Un mes después el 21 de Diciembre a las 9.34 am tiempo de Greenwich del mismo 2009 sergenera la gran conjunción entre Júpiter y Neptuno a 24.17.56, ambos en el Signo de Acuario.Ambos son planetas asociados a ideologías, filosofías, religiones, sistemas de creencias, aveces luchas o pleitos relacionados por diferencias religiosas o filosóficas. Generalmentetambién se relacionan a las economías socialistas del bloque del este, y otros dicen que serefiere al destino de Francia. La quinta República nació con la conjunción. Cuando en 1958Francia se encuentra en crisis por la guerra civil en Algéria, el General de Gaulle crea unanueva constitución el 28 de Septiembre así la 5ª. República es inaugurada el 5 de Octubre bajola conjunción Júpiter Neptuno. La siguiente es el 16 de Septiembre del 71, la siguiente es el 20de Enero de 1984 la siguiente es 9 de Enero de 1997, esta última será el 21 de Diciembre del2009, esta conjunción tiene un ciclo de 13 años y generalmente se genera en un signo subsecuente,es decir la última tuvo lugar en el signo de Capricornio y ahora estará en el signo deAcuario. También esta gran conjunción se asocia económicamente a los booms, pero tambiéna los periodos de gran inflación. Hay algunos astrólogos que relacionan cada gran conjunciónde Júpiter con un planeta mayor a epidemias o pandemias.Como se genera en el signo de Acuario, signo de aire fijo un signo que se refiere a lo social, alo humanista, lo intelectual, y siendo esta una conjunción que expresa una fértil imaginación,que puede expresarse en áreas creativas, idealistas, religiosas. Es posible que surjan nuevasideas, que no hagan distinciones raciales o religiosas. Esto se asocia también a las fases en lasque se encuentra Neptuno en Acuario, La combinación produce orientación social, filosóficay política.Si vemos el mapa natal de este día a esa hora tendremos que la gran conjunción NeptunoJúpiter activada por la luna en conjunción a estos y por la oposición de Marte el planetabélico a estos tres planetas, esto podría hablar de agresión relacionada con temas religiosos.Ambos tanto la Luna como Marte se observan como detonantes de eventos. Al mismotiempo tenemos la cuadratura de Saturno y Plutón que será activada unos días después por elsol que el 21 de Diciembre, esta ya a 29.39º de Sagitario, aplicativo ya a Plutón.La siguiente gran conjunción de Júpiter y Urano tendrá lugar, el 8 de Junio del 2010 A las11.10am en tiempo de greenwich. Esta configuración tiene un ciclo de 14 años, el ciclo seasocia al despertar de la conciencia y su desarrollo. Combina las aspiraciones y el esfuerzo asícomo las posibilidades de evolución del hombre. Cuestiona y abre oportunidades, ydesarrolla el espíritu del colectivo con optimismo(Júpiter) y nuevos conocimientos o avances(Urano). Parece asociarse al mercado libre en la economía a nivel internacional. Es un ciclogeneralmente orientado hacia el capitalismo. El ciclo otorga ambición poder, toma de riesgos.72

En una sociedad en crisis como parece ser el momento porque estos ciclos se van a entretejercon otros en aspectos de tensión, y por estar estos dos planetas en un signo de Fuego “Aries”podría causar muchos problemas. Es una configuración que se asocia también a laaeronáutica y a los viajes espaciales, por lo que es posible nuevos lanzamientos einvestigaciones en este sector. Cuando esta conjunción se dio en el 68 estuvo ligada a lasolimpiadas, y a la gran conjunción Urano Plutón.. La siguiente se dio a mediados de Febreroen el signo de Sagitario. La ultima tuvo lugar el 16 de Febrero de 1997, a 5º. De Acuario.Si la configuración estuviese sola o haciendo aspectos positivos hacia otros planetas podríaprometer mucho, un nuevo ciclo de desarrollo y expansión, posibles nuevos descubrimientos,relacionados con la tecnología, la aeronáutica. El problema será que al entrar esta granconjunción a Aries, un signo cardinal, hará cuadratura hacia Plutón y oposición a Saturno,despertando así los ciclos Saturno Júpiter, Saturno Urano y Urano Plutón, que ahoratendremos también que tomar en cuenta, lo que hace sumamente complicado interpretar losacontecimientos, pero las configuraciones sugieren una gran crisis.Esto hará que tengamos que analizar los otros ciclos.El primero es el ciclo de Saturno Júpiter que se inició en el año 2000, el 28 de mayo a 22.38º deTauro, signo de tierra, fijo, este es un signo que rige la economía, los valores. Este ciclo se daaproximadamente cada 20 años. El próximo ciclo empieza el 21 de Diciembre del 2020 en elgrado 00.24º de Acuario.Este ciclo tocó en su inicio la carta de la declaración de Independencia de Israel cuyo Sol seencuentra el 14 de Mayo de 1948 a 23.41º de Tauro cuadrando a Marte a 28.19 de Leo. Loseventos de ese año para Israel fueron el inicio de la Intifada.Este ciclo es considerado como base del desarrollo, y marca la interacción entre la percepciónde las ideas, potencialidades, posibilidades de expansión (Júpiter) en los temas económicos(Tauro) y su manifestación en el mundo concreto material (Saturno), el ciclo tiene que vercon la evolución y el desarrollo de las estructuras económicas y sociales.El ciclo completo de esta gran conjunción a través de todos los signos del zodiaco es de 960años, y es considerado importante, en la orientación del mundo. Por ejemplo hubo una granmutación en signos de fuego el 8 de Diciembre de 1603 a 8º de Sagitario, y esto se asocia lacolonización de América debido a que Sagitario se asocia a lo religioso, y a los viajes. La granmutación a signos de tierra el 26 de Enero de 1842, se asocia al desarrollo del materialismo.La ultima conjunción de estos dos planetas en Tauro tuvo lugar en 1941, cuando todavíaestaba segunda guerra mundial, es en ese año en el que Estados Unidos entra a la guerra,durante la primera mitad del ciclo, termina la guerra y empieza la reconstrucción.Este ciclo también se le relaciona con los presidentes norteamericanos y casi desde 1840 cadapresidente que ha sido electo en un año de la gran conjunción ha muerto durante su mandato.Tenemos como ejemplo a dos presidentes muertos William Henry Harrison, fue electo en1840, Lincoln fue electo en 1860. Estas predicciones fueron hechas por el astrólogo Dr. L DBroughton que decía que cada vez que la gran conjunción se diera en un signo de tierra, elpresidente electo en un año que termine en cero moriría durante su mandato. Otro gran73

astrólogo Kelsey Richfel hizo un estudio sobre el tema que indica que de todos lospresidentes electos en un año que termina en cero 8 han muerto durante su mandato exceptoZachary Taylor que no fue electo en un año cero. Kennedy es otro que no fue electo en unaño cero pero si bajo esta gran conjunción en Enero de 1961 en el signo de Capricornio, signode tierra y es asesinado en su mandato.Los planetas Saturno y Júpiter de la conjunción actual que nos ocupa 2000, cuya semilla seasocia al signo de Tauro, las economías, estarán en oposición a la mitad de su ciclo, no hayque olvidar que el Euro entra en Vigor a partir del 2000 es posible que haya una crisisrelacionada con las finanzas en este ciclo. Todas las políticas económicas pueden entrar ahoraen crisis, pues se dice que la primera mitad del ciclo se asocia a la expansión y la segunda mása la depresión. En general cualquier aspecto tenso entre estos dos planetas genera problemasen la economía y esto lo estamos viendo ahora, cuando escribo este articulo en Noviembredel 2006 Saturno y Júpiter estuvieron cuadrando, la primera cuadratura se genero enDiciembre del 2005, Júpiter a 10º de Escorpio Saturno a 10º de Leo, la segunda cuadratura segenera a los grados 9º de Escorpio y Leo hacia finales de Junio y la última se generó a 23 deEscorpio y Leo a finales de Octubre del 2006 y se habla de ya de una desaceleracióneconómica en los Estados Unidos y por consiguiente en sus países socios como México.Otro de los ciclos que se entreteje con esta gran configuración es el de Saturno y Urano. Estees un ciclo que dura aproximadamente 45 años. Esta gran conjunción se genera el 23 deFebrero de 1988 a las 12.50am tiempo de greenwich. Y es seguida en 1989 por la conjunciónNeptuno Saturno, el 4 de Marzo del 1989 a 11.56 de Capricornio. Esta es una época importanteporque entre 1988 y 1989 estaban en capricornio haciendo un stelium Saturno Urano yNeptuno, si tomamos que el ciclo Saturno Urano corresponde más al capitalismo y el deSaturno Neptuno más al socialismo y al comunismo los eventos que en este entonces segeneran, dejan sin equilibrio al mundo. Esta triple conjunción constituye una gran transicióndesde un sistema bipolar articulado en la pugna entre los Estados Unidos y la UniónSoviética, a otro protagonizado por la actual hegemonía de Estados Unidos. Existen sinembargo importantes incertidumbres acerca de este nuevo orden internacional que se iniciasobre la triple en Capricornio. Por un lado la Unión Europea que sigue en su proceso deunificación adoptando medidas políticas y económicas como la creación de la nueva monedael Euro que entra realmente en vigencia hasta el 2000 y se socia más a la conjunción deSaturno Júpiter que vimos anteriormente.En los años 88-89 se produce el fin de la guerra fría, la disolución del bloque comunista enEuropa oriental y la desaparición de la URSS, que pertenece al Ciclo Saturno Neptuno, queda paso a la Comunidad de Estados Independientes, la desintegración territorial de la antiguaYugoslavia, el fin de la división del mundo, que tuvo que ver con los bloques que seformaron después de la segunda guerra mundial. El símbolo es en 1989 la caída del Muro deBerlín que da paso en 1990 a la reunificación de Alemania, Octubre 3 de 1990 a partir de las12.00am 13.23E 52.30N. Esta Carta de Alemania tiene a Venus a 1.48 de Libra en conjuncióncon el sol a 9 de Libra, ambos cuadrando a Urano a 5 de Capricornio, por tanto este país entraentre los que van a ser activados, por la configuración.Otros eventos significativos de este ciclo son las sondas espaciales Fobo I y II quedesaparecen misteriosamente.74

La NASA anuncia el calentamiento global del planetaRevueltas estudiantiles en China que terminan en una masacre.Estados Unidos envía la sonda espacial Magallanes a Venus.George W Bush padre sube al poder.En la costa de Alaska encalla superpetróleo EXXON Valdez, creando un desastre ecológico.Fuerzas militares de Estados Unidos invaden Panamá y ponen fin al régimen de Noriega.Nelson Mandela es dejado en Libertad a principios de 1990, con la conjunción aun en Orbe.El ciclo Saturno Urano como resultado de los estudios hechos desde 1625 al presente, se asociaa la derecha, y esencialmente a los procesos conservativos y autoritarios, para poner lapolítica en orden (Saturno) Barbault lo asocia a las tendencias capitalistas e imperialistas. Enla astro-economía, se indica este ciclo como crucial en las altas y bajas de las inversiones, laproducción y la industria pesada, que ha sido dominada por los Estados Unidos. También seasocia a llevar a la realidad (saturno) ideas brillantes, o descubrimientos, o reformas(Urano).Los eventos en el medio oriente y las crisis de Israel han ocurrido o tienen conexión con esteciclo así como con el ciclo Saturno Plutón que parecen ser dominantes para este país y paraesta área del mundo. También se le asocia a Egipto, la Republica se establece en 1953 con unacuadratura de estos dos planetas, y Sadat es asesinado cuando estos dos planetas están encuadratura.Por ultimo tenemos el ciclo Urano Plutón que inicia en 1965 el día 10 de Octubre, a 17.10º deVirgo. pero tratándose de dos planetas tan lentos tendrá vigencia hasta Agosto de 1966,estando aun en orbe estos planetas en el 68.Este es un ciclo de aproximadamente 127 años, así es el mayor de todos, y generalmente seasocia a la reestructuración radical del mundo y los países. Ebertin habla del ciclo como dereconstrucción de lo nuevo (Urano) sobre las ruinas que ha dejado (Plutón) en sus profundastransformaciones. El ciclo anterior empezó en 1850 a 29.24º de géminis estando Saturno muycerca de la gran conjunción a 19.12º del mismo signo Géminis por tanto en este año hubotambién una triple en el mismo signo de Géminis que se asocia a temas de lascomunicaciones por tanto la maquina de vapor, los trenes, el telégrafo, el crecimiento de laindustria forman parte de esta triple que terminó en 1965, generando la siguiente.Analicemos un poco la trile anterior hacia los años 1850. En México es el fin de la guerra conEstados Unidos en la cual Santana en 1848 por el tratado de Guadalupe pierde sus provinciasen el norte que junto con Texas representaban la mitad de su territorio, pero todavía en 1853Santana le vende a Estados Unidos el Valle de Mesilla lo cual lleva a Juárez a levantarse enuna segunda revolución en México. La clase media, abogados, comerciantes, periodistas eintelectuales, quieren establecer una Republica federalista, para eliminar los privilegios delClero y de los militares, esto es lo que lleva a la constitución de 1857.75

En estados Unidos se estaban discutiendo en aquella época la cuestión de los esclavos, y en elaño 1850 el estado de California es reconocido como libre apoyado por Henry Clay. Como niel sur, ni el norte estaban de acuerdo con estas nuevas leyes y la mayoría en el congreso deFlankin Pierce un demócrata, en la elección de 1852 parecía que la abolición de la esclavitudsería el tema, estos pleitos son los que realmente en los años 1860 ya estando en el PoderAbraham Lincoln llevan a la guerra Civil. En esta guerra el Note pierde 5.000 millones dehombres y el Sur 3.000 millones.En Europa en Francia Napoleón III sube al poder formando lo que se denomina el SegundoImperio.En Gran Bretaña estaba reinando la Reina Victoria. Inglaterra quería el mercado libre y teníaaun sus colonias por el mundo.Rusia en ese tiempo estaba en la guerra por Crimea, que empezó porque Rusia quería retenersu dominio sobre el Imperio Otomán. En esa época reinaba en Rusia Alejandro I., RusiaPierde la guerra.Prusia y Austria firman el tratado de Olsmütz con el fin de juntos hacerse fuertemilitarmente ante los conflictos por la guerra de Crimea y al levantamiento de NapoleónTercero.Italia en esa época, Mazzini y Garibaldi que eran republicanos nacionalistas, y por otro ladoVincenzo Gioberti un sacerdote del Piamonte, urgen a la confederación de los estadosexistentes bajo el liderazgo del Papa. Pero La facción predominante era la de los liberalesleales al liderazgo del Reino de Sardinia. En esa época había revueltas desde Venecia hastaSicilia. Carlos Alberto de Sardinia, Fernando segundo Rey de las dos Cicilias y Pio IX y elgran Duque de Toscana y Florencia se vieron obligados a perdonar a los rebeldes. Dándosecuenta de que necesitaban ayuda si deseaban la unificación de Italia, Sadinia con Cavour a lacabeza se une a Francia y Gran Bretaña contra Rusia en la guerra de Crimea, estas alianzasson las que después llevan a formar el reino de Italia bajo Victor Manuel II.La conjunción actual de Urano Plutón que inicia en 1965, en el signo de Virgo significa elmomento en el que se inicia o siembra la semilla, la primera cuadratura entres estos dosplanetas se asocia a la manifestación de la cruz de la materia, que ahora se genera representaque lo que fue sembrado en esos años tendrá ahora sus consecuencias, a nivel colectivo asícomo a nivel individual nuevos poderes emergen solo a través de la determinación y laconciencia y siempre con un esfuerzo y determinación. Generalmente la primera cuadraturadel ciclo se asocia a algún tipo de crisis de confrontación con el fin de ver si las ideas que sesembraron en aquel entonces 1965 a 68, pueden madurar y florecer cuando se genere el trinoentre estos dos planetas mas tarde. En términos de crecimiento es algo así como cuando lasemilla que se planto esta ahora empujando para salir de la tierra al aire y empezar a crecerasí de largos son los ciclos de estos dos planetas transpersonales.Los principales eventos en aquel entonces tenían que ver con las nuevas tecnologíasrelacionadas con las computadoras, en 1965 IBM anuncia el primer grupo de maquinasconstruidas con circuitos integrados serie 360. La conjunción habla también de revoluciones76

para preservar la libertad, el respeto de toda clase de vida humana, animal o vegetal, ya quese genera en una signo de tierra Virgo, que se asocia también al trabajo y a la salud corporal.Durante esta gran conjunción en México se empiezan a generar movimientos estudiantilesque empiezan en 1966 en la Universidad de Sonora, este primer movimiento se da debido aque los Sonorenses no entendían porqué sus Gobernadores eran impuestos desde la Ciudadde México y no podían ser electos por ellos mismos, en ese entonces el único Partido quehabía gobernado era el PRI y se utilizaba para elegir a los gobernantes lo que en México sellama ”El dedazo” es decir el Presidente era quien realmente nombraba a sus Gobernadores.En la Universidad de Puebla en Julio de 1966 también hubo levantamientos estudiantes, DíazOrdaz el entonces Presidente hace un llamado a los estudiantes a no infligir la ley. Un mesdespués los Maestros y estudiantes de la Universidad de Michoacán se van a la huelga, por lamuerte de un estudiante, durante una manifestación popular debida a la alza de las tarifas enel transporte. En Michoacán fueron arrestados 600 estudiantes. En 1967 los estudiantes deNuevo León apoyan a las manifestaciones de choferes de autobuses que fueron destituidos desu trabajo por manifestarse. En 1967 los Estudiantes de Chihuahua logran importantesconcesiones del Gobierno para abrir la Escuela Agronomía de la Universidad de Chihuahua.Durante este tiempo también hubo huelgas de médicos que terminaron en que los que lasdirigieron pasaron un tiempo tras las rejas. Los planetas estaban en Virgo símbolo dehospitales, medicina, salud.Entre 1964 y 1966 había ya dificultades entre los estudiantes en la Universidad Autónoma deMéxico, forzando en 1966 a la renuncia del Rector Chávez, en el 68 no había realmenteproblemas políticos en la Autónoma, pero si supresión en las escuelas Preparatorias porrivalidades entre ellas.El movimiento del 68 empieza realmente después de la manifestación del 25 de Julio en quehubo manifestaciones celebrando el movimiento Castrista por su 15º aniversario de laRevolución Cubana. Uno de sus líderes Gerardo Unzueta y otros del partido comunista sonarrestados. De ahí los estudiantes piden la renuncia por la represión del Jefe de la Policía LuisCueto y que se desapareciera el cuerpo de Granaderos.La U.NA.M no participa en el movimiento hasta que es ocupada el 1º de Agosto Del 68, elentonces Rector Barros Sierra dirige una manifestación pacífica con 50.000 estudiantes, parael 9 de Agosto se une el Instituto Politécnico Nacional, es entonces cuando realmente seinstituye el CNH (Consejo Nacional de Huelga) liderado por Heberto Castillo. Todossabemos en que término este movimiento el 2 de Octubre del 1968 en la matanza deTlaltelolco.En Francia en Mayo del 1968 el crisol en el que se fundieron todos los síntomas del malestarque arrastraba a la sociedad Francesa con fuertes ribetes autoritarios de su Presidente CharlesDe Gaulle. Lleva el 3 de Mayo en la Sorbona a la agitación de los estudiantes que habíanintentado participar en una manifestación en apoyo a los obreros. Para el 13 de Mayo lossindicatos llaman a huelga general bajo el “Alto a la represión, libertad, democracia”. Seunen los obreros y los estudiantes y para el 20 de Mayo tenían a Francia paralizada. Para el 25de Mayo el sindicato, organizaciones empresariales y el Gobierno firman acuerdo sobresalarios mínimos garantizados y el reconocimiento de derechos sindicales.77

Estos dos movimientos son típicos de esta gran conjunción.Urano rige la independencia, la autonomía a veces a través de la revolución, tiende a larevolución pero una vez en el poder puede convertirse en autocrático y totalitario. Puedeasociarse tanto a la izquierda como a la derecha pero siempre va a los extremos. Urano EnVirgo se asocia a un interés por la ecología, por los productos naturales, los nuevos inventosrelacionados con la medicina, la salud, el enfoque práctico inventivo y humano, necesariopara generar cambios que nos proporcionen una mejor salud, con el trabajo que efectuamostodos los días. Virgo se asocia también a los trabajadores y en algunos casos a los sindicatosprincipalmente a aquellos que sirven a la sociedad como son los médicos, los maestros,campesinos.Plutón se asocia al poder de las masas, trae consigo procesos de eliminación, regeneración. AVeces se asocia a los países que emergen, renacen o se reconstruyen, pero también causafanatismo, obsesiones, en ideas colectivas o ideales. Plutón en Virgo, trajo consigo nuevosdescubrimientos médicos que revolucionaron la práctica de la medicina, la píldora, el controlde la natalidad, un cambio de actitud hacia el sexo. La comprensión de los peligros inherentesa los aditivos en los alimentos, pero también trajo consigo, la represión en las huelgas demaestros, médicos, y estudiantes, y demandas y oportunidades iguales en el trabajo para lasminorías. Así es de esperar que las minorías reprimidas surjan y clamen por justicia, libertad,democracia real.Puede indicar que en ese tiempo algo tiene que cambiar, pues si vemos que con la triple enCapricornio el mundo y la política mundial tuvo cambios espectaculares, ahora Plutón seráquien este en Capricornio y Urano en Aries indicando probablemente un nuevo inicio, unasnuevas estructuras.Todo lo anterior y siendo plutón el que cuadra a todos los demás ciclos, habla de una crisismayor de inestabilidad y tensión, la urgencia de actualizar las ideas, los retos a los que severá confrontada la humanidad en su conjunto por el deseo de subsistencia.Tal vez nos demos cuenta que el mundo sobre poblado, y los recursos naturales de los quehemos hecho un mal uso se vuelvan contra nosotros. Tal vez podemos empezar a crearconciencia sobre lo que le hemos hecho a nuestro mundo, a nuestro entorno, pues finalmentela tierra es nuestra casa y si no hacemos algo, ella se revelará a través de eventos de tiponatural. Ya es bien sabido por nuestros científicos que los glaciares se están derritiendocausando cambios en el clima, y de esto ya tenemos las consecuencias en los últimos años,inundaciones, ciclones, pero a la vez zonas de sequía, lo cual destruye las cosechas, (quetambién son símbolo de Virgo) y es posible que los alimentos no sean suficientes para lasobre-población del mundo. el fenómeno del NIÑO, ha ido creciendo. Las preguntas que nosdeberíamos hacer serán ¿Seremos capaces de crear nuestros alimentos, y de dejar de utilizarlos productos energéticos que ya de por si se nos están acabando, e utilizarlos de formaconciente?. ¿Serán capaces los gobernantes del mundo de llegar a acuerdos de respeto mutuo?Tendrán los gobernantes la sensibilidad para escuchar las necesidades de sus pueblos?. Otropeligro son los desacuerdos filosóficos y religiosos, que ahora causan guerras, terrorismo,además de los países que poseen armas nucleares, espero que no lleguemos a que un locoapriete el botón. Por último este ciclo siempre habla de las diferencias entre los países“desarrollados” y los subdesarrollados, entre los que tienen el poder financiero y los que no lo78

tienen, y entre las clases en el poder y las minorías que no tienen nada que perder, por eso esfrecuente que se manifiesten en estos ciclos revoluciones, así que tal vez el mundo deberíacrear un equilibrio entre la riqueza extrema de algunos y la pobreza y marginación de lamayoría.No quiero ser fatalista, pero algo es seguro el mundo como ahora lo conocemos se verá en lanecesidad de hacer cambios mayores.Es hacia mediados del año 2010 en el mes de Julio en que todos los planetas estaránCreando la mayor tensión en durante el mes de julio aquí tenemos a Saturno a 0 de Libra, aJúpiter a 3 de Aries, a Urano a 0 de Aries, y a plutón a 3 de Capricornio.

The TortugueroMonument 6 & theMayan End DateByCarl Johan Calleman, SwedenCarl Johan Calleman is considered theforemost authority on the Mayan Calendarhaving written two bestselling books titled‘Solving the Great Mystery Of Our Times:The Mayan Calendar & The MayanCalendar and the Transformation ofConsciousness. From 1979 when most of usdid not know about the Mayan Calendartill now he has delved deeper and deeperinto it, travelled extensively. He hastravelled to 20 countries spreading themessage of Transformation of Consciousness.He is well known to bring out a master tothe western world like Don AlejandroOxlaj, head of the council of elders of theMaya. Mr Calleman work can be viewed atwww.calleman.comWhen I started my independentresearch on the Mayancalendar late in 1993 not asingle inscription from the ancient Mayawas actually known which would describewhat would happen at its so-called enddate. All that was known were the variousdescriptions of the beginning date of theLong Count, notably in the inscriptions inPalenque, which said that the First Fatherthen “erected the World Tree”.Irrespective of this dearth of information,I started to develop my theory about thenine levels of evolution, the nineunderworlds, and the various days andnights that generated their wavemovements. I simply assumed that thesignificant Mayan pyramids had been builtin nine steps because they were symbolicof nine levels of creation, each affected byseven days, or seven creation gods. I thenfound that with such a model an enormousamount of historical facts started to makesense if they were seen as results of cosmicenergy shifts. This however could be seento be true only if the nine levels all endedat the same time, similarly to how some ofthe Mayan pyramids had a straight back. Itthus seemed obvious that theunderstanding of such energy shifts musthave been the basis of the prophetictradition of the Maya. This was of course81

not how traditional Mayanism saw it, which essentially treated the calendar andthe various deities associated with it as superstitions. Yet, I came from a different scientifictradition, and was primarily interested in if the Mayan time cycles and deities were truereflections of reality. In the beginning of my scientific career in the seventies I had thusbeen mentored by a member of the Nobel committee in Stockholm and had then at leastindirectly seen how science operates from what arguably is its highest level. This meantamong other things zero tolerance for making up theories from “beliefs” without empiricalfacts to back them up and constant emphasis on experimental reality checks. At leastprofessionally this has remained my mind set ever since and the fact that some peoplebelieve that Jesus was born on December 25 or that the Mayan calendar ends on December 21does not constitute proof for me that this is actually the case.The idea that there were as many as nine Underworlds was for a long timecriticized by some who said that there was only one cycle of a longer durationin the Mayan calendar system, namely the 5,125 year Long Count. Yet, alreadythen there were some indications that the Maya had recognized nine steps of evolution. Itwas for instance known that the Long Count was sometimes referred to as ruled by the Six-Sky-Lord, indicating that it was the sixth level, and that there were names for time periodsbeginning with that of the first of the nine levels, the hablatun. Based on these indications ofnine levels I proposed my theory since it could be empirically substantiated from humanhistory even though some thought that it was not orthodox enough. Somewhat later, in 1996,Mayanists however started to decipher Monument 6 in Tortuguero, only some 50 kilometerswest of Palenque, which would further strengthen my model of nine levels of evolution. Forthe first time an inscription was found that seemed to refer to what would happen at the enddate at least from the perspective of a Mayan king around AD 670.The text segment describing the descent ofthe Bolon Yookte from the Tortugueromonument 6.Drawing by Sven Gronemeyer.More broadly this inscription only gained attention in 2006 and its final text accordingto David Stuart, who is an expert on Mayan glyphs, reads essentially like this: Tzuhtz-(a)joomu(y)-uxlajuun pik (ta) Chan Ajaw ux(-te’) Uniiw. Uht-oom ? Y-em(al)?? BolonYookte’ K’uh ta?82

or translated to English: “The Thirteenth ‘Bak’tun” will be finished (on) Four Ajaw, theThird of Uniiw (K’ank’in). ? will occur. (It will be) the descent (??) of the Nine Support?God(s) to the ?. "As is common with such ancient inscriptions they may be difficult to read partlybecause the glyphs are effaced (which is the case here) and partly because the meanings ofthe glyphs are not unambiguous. The critical part from our perspective is the deities (ordeity) called Bolon Yookte, who at the end date would “descend.” To understand how tointerpret this I think it is important to know two things about ancient Mayan deities. Thefirst is that they were not as personalized as for instance Roman or Nordic deities, who wereperceived to act more or less as individuals. A Mayan (or Aztec) deity instead typicallysymbolized a cosmic force associated with a time period and the mythologies of thesepeoples really describe fairly high level impersonal cosmic relationships. Hence, we knowhow the ancient day-signs were carried by daybearers, deities that were associated withparticular days. Time periods, gods and day-signs were thus more or less interchangeableand it depended on the context how they would be expressed. The second thing to know isthat these deities could easily split into several different deities and vice versa depending onwhether the context called for the whole or its parts to be expressed. This is almost certainlythe case with Bolon Yookte, which can be seen as a whole deity with nine parts or as nineparts constituting a whole. Bolon Yookte is at the same time a whole and its nine partsbecause Mayan cosmology is essentially holistic and looks upon everything in creation asconnected.John Major Jenkins in 2006 wrote an important and interesting article about the BolonYookte: Comments on the 2012 text on Tortuguero Monument 6 and Bolon Yookte Ku,http://edj.net/mc2012/bolon-yokte.html, where he summarizes epigraphic informationabout this deity called Bolon Yookte, which according to the abovementioned inscriptionwill descend at the Mayan end date. Among other things he cites an article by Gillespie andJoyce that states that Bolon Yookte was called “the God of the Nine Steps” and also that thiswas a deity that was present already at the beginning of creation as can be seen from thefamous Vase of the Seven Lords. He also cites Eberl and Prager, who said that the BolonYookte was associated with the underworld, wars and conflict. Really what this is telling usis that the structure of Nine Steps of evolution, Nine Underworlds, has existed from thevery beginning of creation, what we in modern terminology would call the Big Bang. TheTortuguero Monument 6, and Jenkins study of their meaning, thus provides a perfectverification of the theory I proposed fifteen years ago. The Bolon Yookte are the Nine levelsof evolution carried out by the nine underworlds. These nine Underworlds are thenobviously also associated with the Seven Lords of Creation (the seven DAYS) as can be seenfrom the famous Mayan vase. Moreover, as we know from history, all of these Underworldsare associated with conflicts and wars, since shifts in cosmic energies generate shiftingbalances of power and as a result, warfare. To me, the relationships between these Mayandeities provide a model of evolution that has been verified by massive empirical evidence.Because of this connection to reality this is crucial information for humanity at the presenttime and not mere mythical relationships.What this inscription means is that on the end date there is not just one cosmic powerthat will manifest, but Nine and that these were symbolized by a Nine-Step pyramid thatwas Bolon Yookte – The God of Nine Steps. It is also clear from Jenkins’ article that BolonYookte was associated with the World Tree, which especially my forthcoming book ‘The83

Purposeful Universe’ will demonstrate as the source of all creation – not as a myth, but as areality. In light of the Tortuguero monument I feel the model of Nine Underworlds andThirteen Heavens can only be denied by someone, who completely ignores not only theactual Mayan inscriptions, but also the massive empirical evidence of how the Mayancalendar system is connected to reality. If instead this body of evidence is recognized it ishowever easy to see how in their mythology the Maya would interchange deities, timeperiods and cosmic energies in a way that can now help us make sense of evolution and howit has played out in biological and historical reality.The Bolon Yookte, the Nine-step God with its Nine Underworlds, as this is symbolized bythe Pyramid of the Jaguar in Tikal. The Nine Underworlds will all be completed, “the BolonYookte will descend”, at the same time and to symbolize this synchronistic event thepyramid has a straight back. Photograph by the author.The verification from the Tortuguero monument that the ancient Maya looked uponthe end of creation as the simultaneous descent of Nine different deities, or manifestation ofnine cosmic forces, is however very timely as we are now on the eighth level of evolutionand soon about to climb up one step to the ninth level, the Universal Underworld. It is notan exaggeration to say that for many people now their future will directly depend onknowing exactly how the energies of these nine levels will be playing out. Today it is thuscrucial to know about this basic structure of evolution, Nine Underworlds and ThirteenHeavens, and the exact timing of activation of the different wave movements of creation.That nine deities will descend (nine cosmic forces manifest) simultaneously at the end dateis thus no longer an unorthodox idea, but instead the only meaningful explanation that canbe given to Tortuguero monument 6. What this means is also that the Bolon Yooktementioned at the Tortuguero monument is not about a single event occurring only at aspecific date. It is instead about nine different wave movements; each generated by theSeven Lords of Creation (the seven days in each Underworld) going back to the beginning of theuniverse (the Big Bang) when, as Jenkins also points out, Bolon Yookte was already present.Thus, any viable theory about the meaning of the Mayan calendar needs to be able toaccount for such long term evolutionary processes, spanning up to 16.4 billion years. As a84

consequence, serious researchers need to take their focus off from what might happen on asingle day, the end date, since this can only be understood in a much larger context. Fromthis perspective it is thus a problem that especially many American “experts on 2012”, alongthe lines of the upcoming Hollywood movie 2012, have committed themselves to somephysical event that they associate with the singular December 21, 2012 date, such as a poleshift, a galactic alignment, a volcanic eruption, an asteroid impact, a solar flare or some other(usually not very well-founded) idea of what may happen on this particular day. Given thetotal unreasonableness of such ideas, especially in light of the Tortuguero monument, is itnot time that they instead start considering an evolutionary model for the Mayan calendarthat is consistent with this monument? “2012” has for too long been a playground for pseudoscienceand the many unfounded “singular day” ideas blur the fact that the end scenario ofthe Mayan calendar is really about a socio-economic transformation resulting from processesinfluencing human consciousness. It is thus about the human beings themselves and how weco-create the birth of a new world and not about any geological or astronomical event thatwe only would be observers of anyway.There is of course a reason that, as I pointed out before, no one advocating the October28, 2011 end date has ever advocated or been lured into advocating that this date wouldbe “the end of the world.” This is that this date emanates organically from anevolutionary process and is not associated with any real or purported physical orastronomical event. It is simply the day when the universe after nine major quantum steps,starting with the beginning of the universe, attains its highest energy state and there is nological reason that this would mean the end of the world. It is just an evolutionary completionpoint when Bolon Yookte fully descends. When it comes to the many events that have beenpurported to be associated with the singular December 21, 2012 date on the other hand it is notsurprising that they invite speculations about the end of the world. If you for instance proposethat this end date is about a pole shift or a giant burst of gamma rays from the galactic center,why should people not believe that this could be the end of the world? To propose physicalevents is like asking for the mainstream media to create fear and hopelessness around the realtransformation that is about to occur.I thus believe it will be people at large that will suffer most from the neglect of theunderstanding we may gain from the ancient Maya, which as we have seen speaks about thefulfillment of a composite of nine evolutionary forces, the Bolon Yookte Ku, and not what happenson a single day. Because of all the confusing information focusing on December 21, 2012 that isalready out there I feel however that people will start to align with the true end date of October 28,2011, not because they realize that the energetic end date logically must be 13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13 13Ajaw or that the 4 Ajaw end date was the result of politics much like the placing of the birth ofJesus at December 25 by the Christian Church. People are instead likely to come to accept theOctober 28, 2011 date in practice simply because they will not be able to deny the actual wavemovement of energies that they themselves are experiencing, especially in the socio-economicrealm. Yet, for those seeking to consciously co-create the birth of a new world a knowledge of howthe cosmic energies lead up to the October 28, 2011 date will be instrumental, simply because withoutit no understanding of how the new world will be born, and how this is timed, will be possible.Hence, the activation of these energies, and their preparatory phases in the Galactic and UniversalUnderworlds will, as always, take place according to a very precise relative timing until the BolonYookte, the nine underworlds, will “descend”, manifest fully, and create the foundation for amillennium of peace – the end of the Shift of the Ages.85

The Final MayanCalendarSteps to 2012Nov 8, 2009 – the beginning of the SixthNightByCarl Johan Calleman, SwedenCarl Johan Calleman is considered theforemost authority on the Mayan Calendarhaving written two bestselling books titled‘Solving the Great Mystery Of Our Times:The Mayan Calendar & The MayanCalendar and the Transformation ofConsciousness. From 1979 when most of usdid not know about the Mayan Calendar tillnow he has delved deeper and deeper into it,travelled extensively. He has travelled to 20countries spreading the message ofTransformation of Consciousness. He is wellknown to bring out a master to the westernworld like Don Alejandro Oxlaj, head of thecouncil of elders of the Maya. Mr Callemanwork can be viewed at www.calleman.comBefore going into the specifics of theupcoming sixth night, November 8,2009 – November 2, 2010, of theGalactic Wave Movement (or Underworld)I feel I should clarify some of my basicpoints of departure for understanding theMayan calendar, since the various ideas thatare currently proposed for this varysignificantly. There are for instance thosethat believe that the end date of the Mayancalendar only marks the end of a cycle andthe beginning of a new. On my own part Ihowever think that we are approachingsomething much more profound than just apoint in a cycle that again will be repeated.The only Mayan inscription from ancienttimes, the Tortuguero monument, whichdescribes the end (http://bit.ly/3Ni2rD) oftheir calendar says that nine cosmic forceswill then manifest. Empirically, there is alsooverwhelming evidence from modernresearch that we are approaching a point intime when nine evolutionary levels (socalled Underworlds) of the cosmic plan aresimultaneously going to be completed. Thiswould imply that we are approaching notanother cycle or another shift, but the end toall shifts, which have been driving evolutionsince the beginning of the universe. Such anend to all shifts could conceivably providethe basis for a harmonious eternal peace onEarth.86

What is about to transpire now is in other words not something that has ever happenedbefore in the history of the universe. Maybe this impending change, partially unknown,causes the widespread denial that I feel dominate many people at the current moment.Rather than facing a great change in our socioeconomic relationships (since any change inhuman consciousness also implies a change in our relationships) many prefer to fantasizeabout some physical or astronomical event, that purportedly is going to happen on December21, 2012. In reality the Mayan calendar is however not about something that will happen on asingular date, but a description of a divine plan for the evolution of humankind wherequantum shifts between calendrical energies bring about shifts in consciousness. Thus,human consciousness will continue to be transformed step by step in accordance with thisplan until we come to the real end date of the process of creation, October 28, 2011. At thisdate the highest quantum state of the universe will be attained (13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13 13 Ahau)when the shifts disrupting the harmony will come to an end. Obviously, we are not thereyet.In this plan for the evolution of consciousness we are now approaching the sixth night ofthe Galactic Wave Movement, the eighth of the nine levels, which will begin onNovember 8, 2009. If my understanding of the Mayan calendar is correct we will in thiscoming night be witnessing the most significant transformation of consciousness ever in thehistory of mankind. What is exciting about this is that I feel that a relatively clear picture ofhow a new world is going to be born is now finally becoming evident. On the other hand,what is also becoming increasingly clear is that this birth is likely to become verydemanding. For this reason it becomes all the more important to understand how some ofthe difficulties ahead actually serve the delivery of this new world even though it may notalways seem that they do so in the moment. If people can gain a realistic understanding ofhow this new world will be born they may be able to keep a hope for the future, which isbased on something more than mere wishful thinking. Unfortunately, much confusionreigns about the Mayan calendar and many that present themselves as experts on this denythe ancient Mayan knowledge that there are nine cosmic forces that are about to manifest,and that it is these, and nothing else, that explains why a new world will be born.Thus, what will happen in the time ahead cannot be understood from the sixth night of theGalactic Underworld alone. The overlapping of the cycles preparing for the ninth, andhighest, level in the cosmic evolution scheme; the Universal Wave Movement (see Figure)with the energy of this sixth night will then also need to be taken into consideration.Because of this overlapping, and the speed-up of time associated especially with the latterWave Movement, not only do I think that the upcoming period will be unusually intense,but also energetically quite complex.At the time of this writing (October 31, 2009, 1 Ben) we are towards the end of the sixth day,the period of flowering in the process from seed to mature fruit in the Galactic WaveMovement, which precedes the sixth night. As I predicted in an earlier article it would nowto some economists seem that the “global economic recession” (or the worst of it) is alreadyover. There are however certain things currently going on in the world that belies this andare more in line with the prediction I made in an article in May (http://bit.ly/qeisX) of afurther economic downturn, especially expressed in a fall in the value of the US dollar, totake place around the time that the sixth night begins (see also: http://bit.ly/2faPHG).87

While several sources now predict a dollar fall it is important to note that mine was made arelatively long time ago and if it proves to be correct shows that what is happening in theeconomy is part of a divine plan charted by the Mayan calendar.My prediction of a further economic downturn was based on the observation that nights, atleast in the second part of an evolutionary Wave Movement, usually mean at the very least aslowdown of economic growth. An indication of such an impending downturn at thisupcoming night is for instance that there has been a rush for gold, which for the first timepassed the magical limit of USD 1000/troy ounce. Moreover, an index of insider tradingshows that people knowledgeable about the actual basis for valuing US stock tend to think ofthis as highly overvalued. Most importantly, increasingly higher voices are now raised inalmost all corners of the world for the replacement of the petrodollar system and thus also ofthe use of the US dollar as the world’s reserve currency. These various indices thus do notindicate that the “recession” is over, but if anything that an intensification of the economicdecline, especially in the indebted West, is imminent. It seems that investors are escapingassets in the form of paper or digit values, which is exactly what we would expect from thislate phase of the Galactic Wave Movement, when a shift in consciousness amounting to ashift from abstract to concrete economic values is taking place. Thus, while many will saythat the changes are a result of a conspiracy, for instance against the US, the point to realizeis that if that were the case they would not have been predictable from the Mayan calendar.I believe that what is happening in the world’s economy is something much more profoundand fundamental than a temporary recession and is a direct consequence of the particulartransformation of consciousness that the Galactic Wave Movement is bringing. As I explainin my new book The Purposeful Universe (http://bit.ly/yvXjH) consciousness is primarilya relationship to the Tree of Life, which exists on many different levels of the cosmos andcauses synchronized shifts on these different levels. What this means is that the shifts inconsciousness that give new directions to our lives will also directly affect the world andsociety at large and how we relate to this. A shift in consciousness is hence not somethingthat only happens in our heads, but is simultaneously also expressed in changes in ourrelationships. Our economic relationships are thus also subject to shifts in consciousness and88

the evolution of this. We should then expect an even further escape from abstract values asthe sixth night begins, a shift that may be expected to especially severely hit the westerneconomies of the United States and the United Kingdom, which remain the financial centersof the world and control much of its banking activities. At the present time these nations,and especially the United States, are so indebted that there really is no need to present anexplanation as to why there would be another downturn in its economy. All that is neededfor this is something to trigger what is going to happen anyway one way or another. Whilemany things may trigger such a downturn, and the media will place all the emphasis on thistrigger, the deeper reasons for a downturn is best understood from the Mayan calendar.From a Mayan calendar perspective the ongoing decline in economic growth reflects astepwise adaptation to the end of the economic cycles that will be associated with the Mayanend date (or beginning date of a new world if you like).If the downturn of the economy is part of a processcreating the conditions for the birth of a new world arelevant question to ask is how deep it is going to be.Even if it seems clear that the value of paper money, andespecially the US dollar, will be hit, it is still somewhat ofan open question how far-reaching the consequences ofthis will be. I think this can only be understood from astudy of what might be the nature of the new world to beborn. When it comes to understanding this it seemshowever that there are actually no ancient Mayan sources to consult. The Mayan sourcesonly say that Nine cosmic forces are going to manifest as the calendar comes to an end, butthere is no ancient inscription, which talks about what will follow upon this. Because of thisdearth of material I suggest that we turn to sources from the large Abrahamic religions suchas the Bible or the Quran, which do say something on the matter. If we combine these withour understanding from the Mayan calendar I feel we may gain some idea of what is tocome. I believe everything that has been happening in this time plan has been subordinatedto the delivery of this new world.Hence, the Quran says this in Surah 82:17-19: “And what will explain to thee what the Dayof Judgment is? Again, what will explain to thee what the Day of Judgment is? (It will be)the Day when no soul shall have power (to do) aught for another: For the command, thatDay, will be (wholly) with Allah.” I believe this disappearance of dominance may refer tothe Universal Underworld, which brings a consciousness of oneness and transparency to ourwhole beings and all of our past actions. If we take this seriously it would imply that allchains to people dominating others would need to be broken. The last book of the Bible, theBook of Revelation 21:4-5 also describes a new world to be born: “And God shall wipe awayall tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying,neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. And he that satupon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new.” This would seem to imply that allchains to the past would need to be broken for the new world to be born. Taken together itwould seem that as pre-requisites for the birth of a new earth we would need to freeourselves from the chains to the past as well as from chains to other people.To some these changes may look so great that it might even be more comfortable tofantasize that the world would come to an end than to go through all of the necessarychanges that would more or less turn our world upside down. Certainly, there is also atremendous amount of people in power, who do not want to see such a transformation89

towards equality and harmony coming about. These quotes may however give us a hintabout where the economic downturn may be leading us and how deep it will be. Will moneyfor instance completely disappear? I think the answer to this is that money will disappear tothe extent that it no longer chains the world to the past. In practice, this probably means thatall thinking about profitable investing etc is somewhat beside the point, since the emergingnew world is not likely to be a growth economy based on the drive for accumulation ofabstract values. More likely, the new world is going to be one based on sharing and caretakingof all members of society as the unity consciousness of the Universal WavMovement, presumably after much turmoil, eventually is established. The more immediatetime period in the sixth night will then be when the practical expressions of thistransformation will need to be tested out and implemented. This may from the perspectiveof the current world seem unthinkable. Yet, there is no such thing as an eternal humannature and our perception of reality, and what we are propelled to create, always variesbetween the different Wave Movements. The human beings of the Regional, National,Planetary and Galactic Wave Movements are completely different in their approach to lifeand the universal human being that will be created by the Ninth and Universal WaveMovement will represent the crowning step of the evolution of consciousness. Thus, she isthen likely to embody a different perception of the world and different qualities compared topreviously. An economy based on sharing is of course fully possible if the unityconsciousness carried by the Universal Wave Movement is successfully established. Even ifthe energy changes will now be happening quickly I should add that it may take some time(in the range of a few years after 2011) until this economy takes its final form.So how in practice could such a transition come about from a human being, whoessentially looks after herself to one that sees the unity of all and shares the fruits ofcreation? Such a transformation of our experience of life may now seem as impossible as thefall of the Berlin Wall once seemed. But similarly to how the fall of the Berlin Wallultimately was a reflection of a transcendence of an east-west polarity in humanconsciousness the new world to be born is designed to result from a transcendence of theinner and outer walls maintained especially by the western mind. Thus, my suspicion is thatduring the first half of the sixth night the world’s economy will increasingly slow down asthe consumption of the US population will no longer be able to keep the industrial enginesof the world going. The power of the US in the world would decrease as a result of a dollarfall.* Yet, because of the indirect effects of this downturn, no part of the world can expect tobe untouched. In this downturn it will then come a point when it will start to dawn on manypeople that it will never be possible to resurrect the old growth economy and that there willnever be any return to a “business as usual.” At that point very radical socio-economicsolutions will need to be explored for people to survive also in a literal physical sense as itbecomes obvious that it is the nature of the economic relationships and the chains to theeconomy of the past that cause the problems. We may for instance ask what will happen ifmajor portions of the population in economically significant countries will not be able to paytheir mortgages? Will these people then have to leave their houses in mass so that countlesshouses owned by banks will sit empty when people are out on the streets? This is the kind ofsituation that has already appeared in some previously car manufacturing suburbs of Detroit.Hence, this scenario is not hypothetical, but has already to some extent happened on alimited scale.What likely will happen then is that demands will be raised for a moratorium ondebts, so that people will no longer have to pay to the banks to stay in their homes. Maybe90

this will be preceded on a larger scale by some nations that see it necessary to push for thecancellations of national debts as a means of stabilizing the world. If such a moratorium ondebts is instituted it would however be like cancelling the power of money and the chains tothe past as it exists now. This would effectively create a path towards a sustainable economyan economy where it is emphasized that the needs of people are met in the present moment(returning to the theme of cutting the chains of the past). This of course would be nothingshort of a revolution, and most likely a worldwide such, since the worlds’ economies at thecurrent time are so deeply entangled. Possibly this would spread from the US to much of therest of the world. Such an enormous transformation of the world’s socio-economic systemwould then be likely to take place in the time period between July 17, 2010 (the CosmicConvergence)** and the beginning of the Seventh day of the Galactic Wave Movement(November 3, 2010). Naturally, it would serve to dissolve many of the other systems ofdominance that the world has inherited especially from the National, but also the Planetary,Wave Movement. Energetically speaking this time period, July 17- November 3, 2010, iscreated through the overlap of the pre-Universal Underworld and the Galactic WaveMovement.*** What this revolutionary time period most likely is going to amount to is acorresponding decrease of governmental and national authority (not that of any particulargovernment, but governmental authority as such, something which humanity has inheritedfrom the National Wave Movement and its patriarchal frame of consciousness. Needless tosay some would try to take advantage of such a situation). It will seriously come intoquestion what we need governments and national borders for “when no soul shall havepower (to do) aught for another.” My vision for the time period from the CosmicConvergence until the beginning of the seventh day of the Galactic Wave Movement is thusa total overhaul of human civilization. This then would also be a time to make choices ofpath individually.Why would this particular time period, July 17, 2010 – November 2, 2010, bring sucha revolutionary transformation? Well, there are two earlier time periods that arenoteworthy as parallels to this upcoming one. One is AD 1498-1617, theRenaissance, which in a broad sense meant the overturning of the feudal system that saw theVatican as the ultimate source of worldly power and the beginning of the modern era. Theother is 1986-1992, which carried a revolutionary wave of democracy (including the fall of theBerlin Wall) resulting in a world whose hemispheres were no longer separated.We may also notice that the two corresponding revolutionary time periods gave rise to newexpressions of spirituality, in the first case the Reformation and in the second the HarmonicConvergence**** that became somewhat of a starting point for the eclectic New Agemovement of our own time. This would indicate that also this time, following the CosmicConvergence, there will be a new spiritual awakening. Since the Cosmic Convergence wouldbe the first breeze of a unity consciousness this would imply that people would then bedivinely inspired to share and recognize the unity of all creation. I believe it will be aspirituality beyond words based on the immediate experience of the divine. Hence, while theReformation was an awakening emphasizing the written word and the New Age movementoriginated in esoteric ideas that were sometimes channeled or spoken I believe that thespiritual awakening ahead will not be something that can be formulated in words and will bebased on plain knowing.I feel it is an open question whether this transformative revolution between July 17and November 3, 2010 will be peaceful, but the parallel to the time period 1986-1992 indicatesthat this at least is possible. What seems clear however is that people will be divided as to91

whether they want to flow with the incoming energies leading towards a new world or ifthey will resist them and seek to hold on to or go back to the system of the past. It is then nowonder that strong forces will try to present the Mayan calendar as if it is about somethingthat will happen on the date December 21, 2012. (A typical example of this is the upcomingHollywood movie 2012, a disaster movie, but most New Age gurus have prepared the groundfor these nonsense fears by emphasizing this singular date and ignoring that the Mayancalendar is constituted by nine levels of evolution). How people will relate to this changewill thus also depend on the understanding people have of the Mayan calendar and thecosmic plan, which at the current time only a very small minority is aware of at least in itstrue form as a manifestation of nine cosmic forces. People at large may in fact neverrecognize any conscious warning signals for what is to come. Yet, inasmuch as theyunderstand that the large-scale changes emanate from a divine plan this would mean that aspiritual awakening could take place. If this happens they will not be inclined to look at thechanges around them as just meaningless chaotic events as they surely will be presented bythe dominating media.Considering that this is all about the participation in a process of evolution ofconsciousness there is a great danger in people believing that the Mayan calendar is about asingular date when some event will take place, whether this is made up to be a “pole shift”,“galactic alignment,” “Planet X,” “end of the world” or “shift in consciousness.” This is anincredibly naïve view of an essentially superstitious nature where a new world is believed tosimply fall down upon the human beings from the sky without their active and consciousparticipation in the processes leading up to a state of unity consciousness. In reality, there isoverwhelming evidence that the Mayan calendar describes sequential shifts inconsciousness, which will begin to be experienced at an even higher frequency after July 17,2010 and even more markedly so after the beginning of the actual Universal WaveMovement on March 8, 2011. Only at October 28, 2011 will the shifts come to an end and aunity consciousness stabilize that will provide the basis for a millennium of peace. Thisfrequency increase incidentally also explains how such a tremendous overhaul of all systemsof dominance could take place in such a short period of time. A recommendation I wouldlike to make, in addition to ethical living and telling the truth, is to learn to flow with theninth level (http://bit.ly/WWjiG). Stay in the middle of the river with a focus on themanifestation of the new world!* The effects of a significant fall in the value of the US dollar on its economy are notuncomplicated. Domestic trading would in principle (this is an oversimplification) beunaffected, while US exports would become more competitive. It would however be certainto decrease the power of the US in the world, since its companies could be bought at a lowercost in other currencies and since for instance oil imports would become much moreexpensive.** In my earlier books I have vacillated when it comes to the duration of the UniversalUnderworld, sometimes thinking that it will be a tzolkin round of 260 days and sometimesthat it would be a twentieth of the Galactic Underworld, which would amount to 13 x 18 =234 days. As we are now getting close to the final transformation scenario I have come tolean over to the idea that the Universal Underworld will indeed be 234 days long placing itsbeginning at March 8, 2011 and the beginning of the preceding pre-Universal Underworld atJuly 17, 2010. The uncertainty with this is that there seems to be no ancient Mayan sourcedescribing such a 18 day oxlahunkin time period, even if it would seem to be the logical one.92

On the other hand the ancient Maya did not have to deal with the transformation scenariointo a new world and so may have ignored this time period, while it still may become veryimportant in our own time. There is in fact a precedent to how a cycle only became followedby the Maya as its effects became a reality. This is the so-called Short Counts of 13 katuns,which were not observed in Classical Mayan times presumably because their effects werethen not yet strongly felt. Only later in Post-Classical times did the effects of these ShortCounts become so strong that they became the dominating cycles followed by the Maya andso came to replace the Long Count as the central calendrical cycle. Thus, if the ClassicalMaya did not base their calendars on the Short Counts they would have had even less reasonto take a 18 day cycle into account, which to them would have an effect only in a very distantfuture.*** What is played out here is the interaction between overlapping time periods producedby dividing the Galactic Underworld into 13 and 20, respectively, as a parallel to theenergetic overlaps of the trecena and the uinal in the tzolkin. If the Galactic Underworld of4680 days is divided by 13 it generates a day or night of 360 days, but if it is divided by 20 itgenerates a wave movement totaling 234 days.**** The Cosmic Convergence called for on July 17-18 is thus a direct parallel to theHarmonic Convergence in the sense that what the Harmonic Convergence was to theGalactic Underworld the Cosmic Convergence will be to the Universal Underworld. Thismeans that the Cosmic Convergence may not only become the beginning of atransformative political period similarly to what happened in 1986, but also the first breezeof a spiritual awakening that will later be fully expressed in the Universal Underworld.93

Napoleon’s AstrocartographyByChristine Kaspers, NetherlandsThis is an astrological technique, developed by Jim Lewis in the last century. What isthis technique all about? It all has to do with angles and the planets in a horoscope.Say we look at the Sun. Where on earth would you have the Sun on the Ascendant,on the Descendant, on the Mc , on the Ic? Since Mc and Ic have to do with south and north,those lines are vertical projected on earth. Ascendant and Descendant have to do with eastand west and are projected like that on earth. Since the earth is not flat, those lines become akind of waves around the globe.Horoscope Napoleon Bonaparte 11 The author is aware that 2 other birthtimes are circulating for Napoleon, but the author prefers this one in the article. Theother two times in circulation are 09.05 LMT and 09.50 LMT and Astro data bank gives 15 August 1769 at 11:30 (= 11:30 AM )Place Ajaccio, Corsica, 41n46, 8e48 Timezone LMT m8e48 (is local mean time).194

So if you look at the last picture, you see a great part of Europe computed for the horoscopefrom Napoleon – born in Ajaccio, Corsica, France, 15 th of august 1769 at 09.05 LMT. HisAscendant is 08.03 degr. Libra. Closest to Ajaccio is his Venus/Mc line and you always haveto look to the closest line. That line has the greatest influence for good or for bad. As younotice there is no line like a wave in Europe, which means that none of his planets would952

have been on the Ascendant or Descendant in Europe. Only far away in previous Rushia hehas Uranus on the Descendant and Jupiter on the Ascendant.It is possible that 2 astrocartografical lines meet each other, cross each other. These areimportant points, cities or areas on the world and are called parans. It is the start of a line,that because of the rotation of the earth forms a horizontal line around the earth, a paran. Ofcourse a paran always has to do with 2 planets on an angle and so also is a very importantline. Just combine the meaning of the 2 planets.The lines from the benefic planets Venus and Jupiter are more auspicious than the lines ofmalefics. But you also have to look in the specific chart to see whether they maybe rule orare sitting in difficult houses like the 8 th or 12 th house. Also you can take just the meaning ofthe planet – like Venus for love, comfort, friendship or the Sun for succes or developpingyour identity etc. I also look in the chart whether the planet is strong or weak, in an angle ora difficult house.Let’s first have a look at Europe for Napoleon.We’ve seen already that his Venus/Mc line is closest to Ajaccio and Paris and Venus is his1 st and 8 th lord. Since we all know who he was and what he did in his life, I will onlymention the meaning of the lines within that context.Napoleon went to Paris to follow military education and also studied old French and Latintexts. In his horoscope Venus is on the Mc and the astrocartografical Venus/Mc line is theclosest to Paris. Besides the Venus/Mars paran is the closest to Paris. So we get acombination of 1 st house, 8 th house, Mc and Mars. Napoleon himself is 1 st house, 8 th houseand Mars the military part and Mc his vocation. Within a few years he married (Mars lordof the 7 th ) and got a high rank in the army. Do you see the Mc also working?963

He started his 1 st attack (Mars and 8 th house)) to Italy as Commander in Chief (Mc and 1 sthouse) from Paris. Whereto? To Italy. Note that his Pluto line goes over Italy.Now we have to relocate for the further story.What’s that? Relocation?Well, some astrologers keep looking at astrocartography from the birthplace and othersrelocate. If an action is made from another place than the birthplace you can relocate thechart to that new place and see how the lines are doing. Some say you work and live out ofthe lines connected to your birthplace forever, others think you adopt the energy of a newhome or city or whatever you are living at a special time.Just by intuition and no more than that I think one has to relocate.Suppose you are born in Germany and move to New Zealand. That’s another world and youhave got to absorp the whole of New Zealand to feel home.At least: that’s my opinion.So: I relocate for important actions.Let us look again to the chart for Napoleon. Seen from Paris.In July 1798 he landed with his troops in Alexandria and shortly after that conquerred Egypt.From Paris his Moon/Ic line runs over Egypt and the Moon is lord of his 10 th house. HisMoon is weak in his chart. So: why did he conquer Egypt?Time to look at transits.In astrocartography you can also look to what the lines are doing in transit; it is not staticbut dynamic, just like a horoscope.The weak Moon as his 10 th lord in his chart indicates he can expect trouble to have succes byhis action.But what happened in transit?See the chart below.497

In July 1798 the Mercury/Mc and Sun/Mc were running over Egypt in transit.His Mercury is quite strong in his 10 th house and ruling the 9 th . So – the Commander went tothis foreign country and succeeded. His Sun is in Leo – there is the Commander again,sitting in the 11 th and ruling the 11 th . So he managed to command his army (kind of a team) inthe same direction and had succes.It is not the intention of this article to describe all the important events in the life ofNapoleon. If you understand the essence, you can start playing around with horoscopes andastrocartography. It is really fun! Also it can make you aware of influences in your life froma different point of view!Christine started with western astrology in 1992; shefollowed the 4 years education with Karen Hamaker inthe Netherlands with success. In 1998 she started tostudy classical astrology out of frustration, because shewas not satisfied by western astrology, especially therelation with her parents. But - that also did not giveher the answers. So in 2000 she started to study Vedicastrology and within a year she had the right answers.This motivated her a lot to go on with Vedic astrologyand by now she is more and more using Vedic astrologyfor readings etc. Website: www.christinekaspers.nl985

Lunar Return onAirlinersByCiro Discepolo, ItalyFrom the book “Lunar Returns and EarthReturns”, Ricerca ’90 PublisherCiro Discepolo was born in Naples in 1948,where he works as a journalist and writer. Heworked for twenty years with the most populardaily of his town, Il Mattino. He worked for fiveyears at the CNR (National Research Council).He has been dealing with astrology since 1970.He has published over 50 books, most of thembestsellers in Italy as well as abroad. In 1990 hefounded the quarterly Ricerca ‘90, which hasbeen publishing since then. He has been doingstatistical researches from the very beginning ofhis interest in astrology. At the beginning of the90s, he obtained very brilliant results withresearches on astral heredity on a sample of over75,000 subjects. He has held seminars, coursesand lectures in different universities in Italy andabroad, and in several culture clubs. He is deeplyinterested in informatics. Astrologicallyspeaking, he followed the school of AndréBarbault. He founded the school of ActiveAstrology. http://www.cirodiscepolo.itSeveral times, with practicalexamples both in my books and inmy magazine Ricerca ’90, I haveshown how to aim a Solar Return and/or aLunar Return ‘on the fly’ – or better said:‘on the flight’ – in order to reach placesthat one could not reach on the dry land.Remember that in such events (which arethe subject of one whole chapter of mybook I fondamenti dell’astrologia medica,Armenia editore) you usually have twooptions: taking a taxi plane or hiring aprivate aircraft with a pilot from a flyingclub.I would avoid the first because it would bequite expensive – although of course thenotion of ‘expensive’ is a relative one,depending also from the subject’s needsand financial situations. In fact, a rich manseeking desperately to save his own lifewould certainly choose this solutioninstead of the other, perhaps less expensivebut unsure ways.Usually it’s easier to contact a flying club,where you’d certainly meet a keen flyerwhose main dream is to be allowed to flyfor free for hours: he’d be only glad if yourefund the cost of fuel and give him anextra income of some Euros.Now let me introduce a brand newmethod; something that – to myknowledge – nobody has ever tried before.Nonetheless it is something that, being99

pure mathematics, can be said to be self-proven.Say that a David Smith wants to spend his Lunar Return in Milan, Italy, on the 21 st ofJanuary 2008 at 1:02 pm GMT. As you can see from the relevant chart 1 , it is a very badReturn. Say that David’s current SR is detrimental too, so that he wants to aim (i.e. relocateaccording to the rules given in my books) this bad LR in order to avoid further risks forhimself. The ideal place for such relocation would be an isle in the very middle of the Oceanbetween Senegal (on the West coast of Central Africa) and Brazil (to be more precise, theNorth-East point of Brazil). This is one of the emptiest portions of this planet. If Our Lordhad been passionately fond of Aimed Solar Returns, he would have certainly filled up thisvoid with at least one island in the middle.Alas, there’s no island in there. Yet, our brain often can be better than an island – so I madeup my mind and invented the method that I’m going to expose. In my opinion, it’ssomething that has very solid theoretical basis and can be applied without spending 50,000Euros for a taxi plane, but only 1,000 Euros on an airliner.It consists of tracing the route of an airliner, say flying Lisbon to Recife, provided that youknow ALL the points touched by the route during the flight, and at what time you’ll beflying over any of them.It is not a ‘mission impossible’! I’m going to show you how, and after the following singleexample, you’ll be able to do the same for any area of the world and apply it to any AimedSR and/or Aimed LR.The most difficult point is getting the precise route of the flight. Forget about asking theairlines: they aren’t going to tell you anything for security reasons because of the hazardposed by terrorism.My friend Pino Valente was smart enough to find out, on the Internet, the webpage of thefans of flight simulation. As everybody knows, people like these can become really manic intheir wish to create a perfect simulation of flights; therefore they get to know whatever maybe needed to be known as far as routes are concerned. Also on ‘normal’ webpages devoted totravels, like for example www.opodo.it, you can get to know the kind of aircraft, thedeparture & arrival time, the time needed to reach there, and everything else that you needfor the purposes that I’m explaining to you.Now this is the URL of the webpage for flight simulators:http://rfinder.asalink.net/It is necessary to subscribe and login; you’ll have access to this area:http://rfinder.asalink.net/free/autoroute_rt.phpFrom www.opodo.it I got to know that there’s a flight TAP TP151 Lisbon to Recife leavingLisbon on the 21 st January 2008 at 10:50; the flight takes 7 hours and 45 minutes. Hence youcan get, from the Route Finder webpage, the following table containing really all theinformation that you need. We’ll consider only the second part of the table, listing all thevirtual points of the sky that are used by air traffic controllers to guide the aircrafts alongvery narrow skyways: Nakos, Barok, Bentu, Nevel, Mitla…In the following map we have traced all these virtual nodes of the sky and we haveconnected them to form a line.1 All charts at the end of this article100

On Giovanna Bianco & Pino Valente’s website www.bianco-valente.com you can see theirwork of 2005 titled Relational Domain – it’s a beautiful work of art resembling the world ofsynapses, the connections between the sky and human mind, the air traffic controllers’celestial nodes, the communication between our brain and the reality of universe…Back to our scope. After drawing this line on the map you proceed as follows. You open theastrological software that you use to calculate Solar returns and/or Lunar Returns. Thereyou add new ‘locations’ in its database, say: Nakos Radar, longitude 9°20’W and latitude38°00’N, Barok Radar longitude 10°01’W and latitude 35°58’N and so on.As you already know, the time zone is not required while casting SRs and LRs, so whenyou’re asked to input the Time Zone, you can simply digit ‘1’.Now consider the following four maps of ALR that I have cast to explain this method.Compare them with the already given map of BLR of Milan, Italy – a very bad one. Havingadded the additional locations to our software program, it is now able to cast a LR for Maroa.Taken for granted that the map of SR and the map of LR must have the domification of theplace where the subject is there in that moment – neither the place of his birth nor the placeof his usual residence – nobody can deny that the result is striking. It isn’t important toknow what time will it be there in their local time, because our software calculates the GMTof the LR and relocates the map of that moment on to Maroa. Those who still doubt aboutthis method, may cast the Aimed LR for Cape Verde (for example, Sale) and they can seethat the resulting map is almost identical to the map cast for Orabi Radar (in fact, thegeographic coordinates of the two locations are very close).With the tables given here you can calculate anything. We know that the aircraft, an AirbusA330-220, flying at an average cruise speed of 412 Mph (nautical miles per hour) takes 7 hoursand 45 minutes to fly the whole route Lisbon to Recife, corresponding to 3,196 nautical miles.Knowing the distance between the single points of the line that we have traced on our map,we can also know at what time we’ll be flying over each of those points.The method’s only drawback is that the aircraft may take off later than the scheduled time,but you can always recalculate the route by heart. In fact, consider our map with the dottedline. Say that you had reckoned to be over Maroa for your Aimed LR. Now being late,instead of flying over Maroa, you’ll be flying over Delax in the very moment in which theLR takes place. An as you can see from the chart cast for Delax, it’s good anyway.If you wish to get a safe calculation, you can apply larger margins of tolerance and reckonthat if the aircraft takes off with a delay of, say, less than 30 minutes, the pilots are able tomake up time by flying a little more than the usual cruise speed.I believe that you have now a new tool, and a very feasible one, to achieve the goals that youwish: moreover, spending no more than one hundred Euros instead of, say, fifty thousandEuros.101

How To PredictForexbyConstantine Semenov, Crimea.Copy Editor: Lorin Cerina, CroatiaConstantine Semenov lives in Crimea& has been a long time student ofmysticism, and a full time practicingastrologer specializing in business &political astrology. He holds an impressivetrack record of world-wide predictions andmakes full use of amulets in his practice.You can read about his past predictions onSeptember 11th, Tsunami in Indian Ocean,Columbia Shuttle Disaster on his websitehttp://www.tigrovo.com.The major concept in the capitalismworld is how to predict the future ofworld money! Forex is the world moneymarket that always moves. Presently, theforeign exchange market is one of thelargest and most liquid financial marketsin the world. Traders include large banks,central banks, currency speculators,corporations, governments, and otherfinancial institutions. The average dailyvolume in the global foreign exchange andrelated markets is continuously growing.Daily turnover was reported to be overUS$3.2 trillion in April 2007 by the Bankfor International Settlements. Since then,the market has continued to grow.According to Euromoney's annual FX Poll,volumes grew a further 41% between 2007and 2008.Of the $3.98 trillion daily global turnover,trading in London accounted for around106

$1.36 trillion, or 34.1% of the total, making London by far the global center for foreignexchange. In second and third places respectively, trading in New York accounted for 16.6%,and Tokyo accounted for 6.0%. In addition to "traditional" turnover, $2.1 trillion was tradedin derivatives.Of course, the main concept is that Forex is driven by planets! How it works?Trend factor and Non-trend factorWhat does it mean?Trend factor. It means that some planets in their interactions creates trend – the moving ofprice in certain direction.How miditrend moves currency? Miditrend is the trend that lasts almost a year! It lasts toolong for a investor to think what decision he can make!Miditrend - Several key rules.Two planets effectWhat does it mean? It means that one or several planets make different kind of aspects tothe important planets. At the same time it could be the negative aspects to one planet andpositive to another. It moves the currency price trend to the edge position or trend makingit’s high and low! In other words it’s called points of maximum and minimum of energy!Something like that could be seen in spring when winter out and in autumn when winter in!This is Chinese principle of Yin and Yang.One of the most powerful elements is the interaction of Saturn and Jupiter with superplanets Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. It drives currencies ultimately! It’s very important - therole of distant planets. They determine the way of trend for major currencies. It’s really hardto say why, but it could be the result of their horoscopes activity. It doesn’t matter, it movesand people are doing money. The main reason is the moving of major planets Jupiter andSaturn.107

Key planet principleEvery currency has its own significator, or planet influencing its currency. Every currencyhas its own major planet, for example Neptune for USD and Pluto for GBP.This is the principle of two. When Saturn and Jupiter interact with trans-Saturnian’splanets, at the same time to be in the particular aspect with two planets, making stronger oneand weaker another. It depends on aspect. Trine creates rise of currency and opposition viceversa.I guess these principals are valid for major currencies. As example, I show you the surveyanalyses of GBP\ USD.Notable examples:Have a look how GBP\USD moves under these factors.GBP\USDJanuary 2000 – June 2001What was the cause of strengthening of dollar? The cause was the trine between Saturn andJupiter in Gemini to Uranus and Neptune in Aquarius. Same time, Saturn and Jupiter werein strong opposition with Pluto in Sagittarius! GBP\USD fell from 1.666 in January 2000 to1.37 in June 2001! Significant change! By the way in minitrend it was perfect reflected. InJune 2001, when most planets were in opposition in the signs of Sagittarius and Gemini,GBP\USD fell the deepest point. You could see it by yourself!2002 – 2004Why GBP rose? Because. Jupiter moved out from opposition with Pluto in 2002 and enteredto opposition with Neptune in 2002 – 2003. In 2002 GBP was 1.41 and in 2004 it rose to 1.95. Itwas the weakening of dollar in opposition of Jupiter with Neptune and at the same timestrong trine with Pluto in Sagittarius.Remember that strong position of one currency is the weakening of another!Of course, some configurations had places on natal planets and moved transits too. It has tobe mentioned. But this fact is absolute!108

2005From the end of 2004, Jupiter moved in Libra and situation changed obviously! The USDstarted to be stronger. The reason was trine of Jupiter and Neptune in air signs. Don’t forgetthat these planets are considered as dollars planets. That’s why GBP\USD sharply changedits direction downward from the end of 2004 1.93 – 1.72!2006 - 2008New rise of GBP\USD was in the period when Jupiter and Pluto were in conjunction. Thisaspect is totally positive for them. GBP\USD peaked 2. 000. Almost record! It was caused byadditional strong position of Saturn to these two planets and its opposition to Neptune keydollar planet in 2006 - 2007! It drove USD down! I hope you understand the concept! Youmust determine the condition of one and another currency!Second half of 2008This period was the disaster for GBP. GBP\ USD fell from 2 to 1.35! Historical falling down.Causes:First reason was the weakening of the pound – Jupiter left the conjunction with Pluto. Thenext reason was the strengthening of the dollar. Jupiter entered Aquarius and was inconjunction with Neptune, the planet that make dollar stronger.As you see, Pluto has a dominant position in this influencing on GBP\ USD as in minitrendand miditrend too. Every currency has its own major planet, for example Neptune for USDand Pluto for GBP. This is the principle of two. When Saturn and Jupiter interact withtrans-Saturnian planets, at the same time be in a particular aspect with two planets it makesone currency stronger and another weaker.Non-trend factor. This is the interaction of planets that don’t create the trend but drives theprice up and down when this factor occurs and becomes strong. Usually it lasts two or threedays! According to the astrological research of Forex, this factor depends on two or threeplanets that make particular aspect with each other during the period when it lasts. Forexample trine between Moon and Venus or Mars could drive the price in certain direction109

while this aspect occurs and strong. Now, according to the astrological research of Forex, Icould tell that some non trend factors for USD\JPY drives it down in 40 occasions from 46occurrences. Some non-trend factors for GBP\ USD, almost 100% factor, that drives it downfor last 2 years. EUR\USD is also driven down in 100% occasions, during strong non-trendfactor occurs in same certain period. USD\CHF has 80% occurrence when it is driven down.All about this you can read in my lessons about “How to predict Forex”.Of cause about 70% to 90% of the foreign exchange transactions are speculative. In otherwords, the person or institution that bought or sold the currency has no plan to actually takedelivery of the currency in the end; rather, they were solely speculating on the movement ofthat particular currency. Hedge funds have gained a reputation for aggressive currencyspeculation since 1996. They control billions of dollars of equity and may borrow billionsmore, and thus may overwhelm intervention by central banks to support almost anycurrency, if the economic fundamentals are in the hedge funds' favor. That’s why thissubject of my course of how to predict Forex is too important to foresee what will be nextday!Also you can see my financial statement how I made 2000 % fortune from 10000 dol. Gained200000 dol. in 2 months Forex and CFD trading. See here:http://www.tigrovo.com/eng/statement.htm110

Awakening the InnerSense – SomeMethods &Meditation ObjectsByFloco Tausin, Switzerland.The name Floco Tausin is a pseudonym.The author has studied at the Faculty of theHumanities at the University of Bern,Switzerland. In theory and practice he isengaged in the research of subjective visualphenomena in connection with alteredstates of consciousness and the developmentof consciousness as such. In 2009, hepublished the mystical story “MouchesVolantes” about the spiritual dimension ofeye floaters.What we know as our weekdayis a tide of miscellaneousinformation which we receivewith our five senses and put together to anintegral picture in the brain. The senseorgans are the gates of our body – theyconnect the outside world with the innerworld and determine, dependent on ourstate of consciousness, how we experiencethis world.But is there more to human senseactivity than touching, seeing, hearing,smelling and tasting? There is, accordingto many cultures and religions where wefind the notion of an inner sense. Thissense is thought of as a mode of perceptionwhich directly and intuitively givesinsight to the essence or true nature of theobject perceived. Often this subtle or innersense is linked to the eye as a widespreadsymbol of light, cognition and truth. It isthen addressed as the “inner eye”, “thirdeye” or “eye of the heart”, common amongmystics who experienced the divine light.In Indian mythology, for example, thisinner sense is expressed as God Shiva’sfrontal eye that gives him unifying vision.Accordingly, tantric yogis try to open thisthird eye by activating the “Ajna Chakra”,located between the eyebrows. Likewise,111

the Buddha Siddhartha Gautama received enlightenment through a “celestial eye”(prajnacaksus) which permitted him to understand the forces of existence and theirmanifestation in the chain of causality. The Greek philosophers spoke of an “Eye of theSpirit” which has to be opened and purified to see the truth. While the Old Testament callsthe prophets “seers” and refers to an all-seeing eye or “Eye of Providence” that turns tothose who fear God and gives them superior insights or strength, the New Testament takesup the Greek philosopher’s notion of the “Eye of the Soul or Heart”: the eye becomes theobject of purity (Matthew, 6.22), and the Eye of the Heart has to be opened in order to seeGod (Acts 9.18). Over the centuries, Desert Fathers, Gnostics, and Mystics alike furtherreported experiences of the inner sense as inner eye or eye of the heart or soul. Since theearly modern period, Western esoterics and scientists interested in unifying the scientificand spiritual traditions are trying to find a physiological correspondence of this inner sense.In recent years, for example, the inner sense was associated with the pineal gland, based onscientific insights about the light sensitivity of this gland.The Eye of Providence at the Aachen Cathedral, Germany.The relation between perception, soul and pineal gland after René Descartes (1596-1650).Meditation for the development of the inner senseDeveloping our inner sense, therefore, is a way to improve our spiritual life. In fact, many ofus are doing this already, more or less consciously. For example, while meditating, manyhave come to experience subjective visual appearances, ecstatic feelings or intuitive insights– first aspects of an inner sense waking up. But if we want to develop that inner sense to itsfull bloom, years and decades of constant exercise are necessary. In any case, awakening the112

inner sense means choosing a meditation method which works directly with the inner senseor with its objects and function. Generally, meditation can be carried out on material objectswhich stimulate the inner sense; or on subtle objects which can be conceived of as objects ofthis inner sense.Material meditation objectsMaterial meditation objects are perceived through the eyes, not through the inner sense, butconcentrating on them can stimulate the inner sense and lead to subtle appearances.Meditation on material objects should support the inner sense or third eye in its function tomediate between the two brains or consciousness hemispheres. It should make aware to usour right intuitive emotional side as well as our left analytical rational side, bringing theminto harmony with each other. This turns out best by means of squinting techniques whichhave been developed likewise in Western and Eastern traditions. Two different types ofsquinting must be distinguished here, though: the letting go of the eyes (parallel viewing) inwhich the concentration point shifts behind the object looked at, and the concentrativedirecting inside the eyes (cross viewing) in which the concentration point is drawn in frontof the object looked at, in the direction of the observer. To distinguish these two types, wecall the second type “doubling”. Doubling is the type of squinting ideal for meditation.The simplest exercise of doubling is looking at the root of the nose, according to the way ofIndian yogis. However, doubling can also be applied to distant material objects.Anthropologist and author Carlos Castaneda, for example, mentions a seeing technologycalled “gazing” which at first means to focus the view on an object, similar to the yogi’scleaning exercise “trataka”. Sometimes, though, it is combined with squinting in which thepractitioner moves apart the two pictures and thus superimposes two equally formed objects.The concentration on this superimposed object synchronizes the two consciousnesshemispheres and, regularly practiced, produces a depth perception which carries thepractitioner into other spheres of consciousness.Another example of this form of meditation is the meditation on the “Tables of Chartres”.The tables are three legendary geometric figures of equal surface area, made from red andblue colored metal pieces shaped as rectangle, square, and circle. They are put down beforeoneself in two rows of alternating color and shape and doubled until a superimposed thirdtable group appears in the middle. The knowledge around this old meditation type wasmaintained and passed on by gypsies and published by the French author Pierre Derlon forthe first time.The Tables of Chartres.113

The subtle objects: Subjective visual phenomenaSubtle meditation objects can be feelings and thoughts. For developing the inner sense,however, those objects are particularly well suited which appear through the fusion of theinner sense and the visual sense. I’m referring to those subjective visual phenomena whichare known in ophthalmology as “entoptic phenomena”. Entoptics are phenomena which arebelieved by the observer to be seen outside of him- or herself, though, physiologicallyexplained; they are generated by the observer’s visual system. The following entopticphenomena are suited as meditation objects for most people:Afterimages: contrasting colored afterimages may be explained as the continuation of theeffect of a visual stimulus when this stimulus has gone already. For example, blinking intothe sun for a short time period will produce the colored afterimage of the sun in our visualfield.Meditation on afterimages includes producing these images by shortly glancing into a lightsource, e.g. a bulb or a candle flame. Against a dark background or with the eyes shut, weobserve these colored luminous spots until they lose their intensity. Again, we generateanother afterimage and observe it until it fades and so on. Observing the afterimage, weactively move it with our view and watch it change its form and intensity; we study itsproper motion and the influence of our eye movements on its luminosity.Phosphenes: Phosphenes are colored spots and blurs in the dark, often seen with eyes closed.They are said to be discharges of visual neurons. Meditation on phosphenes works similarlike meditation on afterimages. However, it is more difficult because it has to be donewithout the stimulating effect of an external light source. We close the eyes and watch thecolored spots taking shape in the dark. They tend to disappear from our awareness andtherefore have to be made aware again and again by realigning our attention. An elaboratedsystem of consciousness development focusing on afterimages and phosphenes was createdby the French scientist and inventor, Dr. Francis Lefebure; the exercises of his“Phosphenism” combine visual concentration on afterimages with (neuro) physiologicalrhythmics.Eye Floaters (mouches volantes): Eye floaters are scattered semi-transparent dots andstrands appearing with bright light conditions in our visual fields and following the eyes’motions. In ophthalmology, they are regarded as a normal opacity of the vitreous dueto progressing age. Eye floaters meditation means that we bring these the objects into ourfield of vision and consciously look at them. We explore them, get to know their forms,constellations, and movements. We notice that the floaters constantly drift away, mainlydown, and try to keep them in the field of vision. More advanced meditators of eye floaterswill begin to see changes in movement, size and luminosity. The teaching of my mentor,seer Nestor, provides elaborated seeing and ecstasy techniques to work with eye floaters, aswell as a spiritual interpretation of these dots and strands.114

Eye floaters: Mobile transparent dots and strands in the field of vision.Blue field entoptic phenomenon: this formal term refers to “flying corpuscles” or “luminousspots”, tiny luminous spheres moving fast along in wound tracks. It is best seen in the bluesky (therefore: blue field entoptic phenomenon), but can become very strong in situationswith extreme physical challenges like shocks or blackouts. From a medical point of view, it’srelated to white blood cells flowing in the capillaries of the retina.Unlike the other entoptics, the luminous spots can’t be fixed with the eyes directly but areseen in the peripheral field of vision. Observing luminous spots, therefore, improves ouralertness in the whole visual field, rather than our ability to concentrate on particularobjects.Dr. Wilhelm Reich, the Austrian-American psychiatrist and founder of the orgon theory,explained the blue field entoptic phenomenon as a kind of orgon radiation. More spirituallyoriented followers of Reich suggest to concentrate on these immaterial luminous spots, inorder to silence the inner dialogue and find inner peace.By consciously looking at entoptic phenomena like the above mentioned we withdraw ourfive senses from the material sense objects and channel the energy usually needed tomaintain their functioning to the inner sense. This way, we awaken the inner sense, whichin turn will help us recognize and feel immediately and with great intensity the highersignificance of these dots, spots and strands as well as their relation to ourselves. We thenintuitively understand why such entoptics were watched by people of all times, oftenprovided with religious meanings and used as concentration objects.Literature:Bókkon, István: Phosphene phenomenon: A new concept, in: BioSystems 92 (2008): 168-174Chen, Spencer C. u.a.: Simulating prosthetic vision: I.

Discover The ChildWithinByHolly Hall, CanadaEvery single one of us are children. Inour physical form one life after theother, we are born, we age andeventually we will leave our physical form.As a spirit and as a soul, you are an eternalchild, pure, perfect and alive. Children takeon many forms, many characteristics, andwith this many strengths. How can youfind out where that child is in yourastrological chart? In other words where areyou? And why is it important for you toacknowledge the child with in?Holly Hall has almost twenty yearsexperience as a professional Astrologer.Radio, newspaper, magazine appearancesand columns fill her resume. With herpsychic grandmother and clairvoyantmother's legacy, Holly will propel yourspiritual growth.She can be heard on Wednesday night's 5PM PST at www.Spiritquestradio.com and ifyou have any questions you can drop her aline in her forum called Astronumerics atSpirit Quest Radio or athollyhall@spiritquestradio.comFirst of all, society informs us, mediacreates us (thoughts), and in the age of now,we are not staying at home and helping ourfamily work the farm: instead we are nowthrown out into this wild, fast food, crazyworld; we are instantly adults! As young as17 yrs of age, our families and society expectus to get a job and make money- it is nowtime for you to take care of your self. Welive in an extremely materialistic world, wewant it all! So we loose this sense of who weare, we forget about creating happiness forourselves, because we feel that if we canindulge in the material world we will behappy. And this takes money. Then we loseour creativity, we forget about ourplaygrounds, we loose the child within.Does this mean that we need to grow upand only play and never work and neverprovide for ourselves? Absolutely not! Ifyou remain the child that you are, and keepin touch with that creative side, then youcan bring this to the world, and yes, you canmake a lot of money doing what you enjoy!So dare we digress? Yes. In the rest of thisarticle I will show you how to find that118

child with in. And when you do, get back the child' within, never let him/her go.The first thing that you want to do is look at your Moon sign. Your moon signrepresents the child within; your moon sign represents your past life. You will also wantto look at your fifth house, what is on the cusp of the fifth house, is it intercepted,are any planets in the fifth house.For instance, Karri has her moon in Aries, all of her other planets are in Leo in thefifth house. Now this makes for an extremely creative little Karri. Karri is 20 years old. Karriis extremely artistic. A graduate of high school, when she was an A average, in art class, increative English and in music. She loves photography and fashion. However Karri is also aVirgo, her Sun sign is in Virgo in the sixth house. At the age of 18, all Karri wanted to dowas to stay in her playground. Virgo influence in the sixth house and the insistence of herrealistic mother and get serious stepfather was pushing Karri to teach her to be an adult, tobe serious and to serve society, as we all must do. All her Leo and her Aries Moon didn'tthink that this sounded like a lot of fun, so she became resistant to change showing signs oflaziness, and is in the process of losing her child with in.An earth influence in our chart such as Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn, second, sixth,and the tenth house, can be our worst enemy. This weighted down, earth bound, realistic,pull up your bootstraps and get the job done; influence can hinder the playfulness of thechild within. So does that mean that earth influence charts, can never hang on to their innerchild? Absolutely not! Karris’ new playground may be the materialistic world. All that Leo,creates ego, and may need to ‘lead’ to stay creative. Her Aries moon would do well to helpothers fight for their independence. Her new Virgo “skin” would do well in serving others inthis way. Instead of quitting jobs that hinder her, she could rally all employees to fight fortheir rights. To speak their minds. However Leo can be very romantic and idealistic,thinking the grass is always greener on the other side. “Your playground is more fun thanmine”. Searching for the perfect playground, can wastes playful time. Karri may have tolearn from experience.It may be creating abundance, financial abundance, to share, and create your ownplayground. It may be mother Earth creating wood carving, working with clay, landscaping,cooking, nurturing others, or helping to organize others in order for them to make the mostof their playground. The law of the planetary influences right now are greatly affecting theability for many to retain their Creative in inner child. And I will touch on this at the end ofthis article.The signs and the house is where one looks. These signs carrying the inner child withthem every single day of their lives: Aries, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Sagittarius, Pisces: firsthouse, third house, fifth house, and ninth house. Does that mean that the rest of us will losetheir child within throughout their lives? Absolutely not! But you will need reminding, youwill need to continually re-introduce yourself and nurture your inner child. And how exactlydo you do this? Below I will list how with each sign/house.Instructions1. Look up your Moon sign, your Sun sign and your fifth house cusp sign.2. Take a piece of paper a bright colored fun piece of paper and a pen or pencil,children love pencils and write down, with no form, everything related to your Moonyour Sun and your fifth house sign.3. If you have any of the signs mentioned above in your charts write it down as well.119

4. If you have any planets in any of the houses mentioned above write this out.5. After you have written all of this down, read this out loud to yourself while lookingin a mirror.6. Also make him write colored sticky notes and write down the affirmation I will listat the end of this article.ARIES - Always find an adventure, something new, something that is competitiveand one that will give you a sense of newness. The Aries and child with in, is not apatient soul, therefore do not expect yourself to see a new project to the end. This isfor your more earth bound brothers and sisters. You are the motivator, you are the fuel forthe fire, you are the spark that ignites others. So make sure that whatever creativity youbring into your life that you can finish the project shortly after you have started. Forexample, if you are a project manager or self-employed or even a mother of four kids, getpeople around you motivated, fire them up get them started. And hire a Taurus, Virgo or aCapricorn to finish the job. Seriously, and then start another project, another adventure. Youare a warrior, you’re playground is your battleground. Your territory. The challenge is tochoose your battles carefully. Your creativity comes into play in how you can create awin/win situation, where no one loses.TAURUS - Engage with mother Earth, stay Grounded. Learn to cook, garden,working with wood, metals, gems, anything of the material. And of course workingwith money be it yours or somebody else's. The key is not to be so tied to thematerial that you feel unsafe without it. If this does happen you may take a long walk in thewoods or/and go hug a tree. This will sound silly. That’s the point be silly. Allow yourselfto play in the sandbox! Basically Taureans need to get their hands dirty. You need to becreative. As long as everything is done through the heart and not the mind, as you are ruledby Venus you will fare well. You love your comfort food it feeds your soul. Make sure youeat healthy!GEMINI - The eternal child, you are a thinker you are a communicator and youenjoy learning. Working well with your hands you may want to be creative andinventive with machinery, cars and such. However you can tend to have a shortattention span and it's very important that you read material that is short and sweet. Such asblogs, magazines, newspapers and gossip columns. You love gossip and you love to be in theknow. You also work very well with your hands so if you can strum a guitar or play thepiano, this will soothe your soul. If you can have a job where you learn and then share thatknowledge as well. You could be a teacher of any sorts, in your own playground. Just becareful not to share knowledge or gossip that has not been completely researched. You makegreat journalists and radio show hosts. But in the meantime talk talk talk, chat chat chat, andhave fun.CANCER - Your playground is a place where you can enjoy your, sensitive, helpfuland domestic side. You enjoy anything that you can do within your homeenvironment. So your first playground is in your home. Make sure that your homeis full of the comforts and cosiness that you require. So when you're all grown up it isimportant you decorate your home. You love collecting and a bit of a packrat, in order tokeep your self and those who live with sane you may want to incorporate shelves in theform of furniture or the walls in order to display your collection. You also really enjoychildren so if you can involve your self with working in nurturing children you're happy.120

LEO - As long as you are center stage then you have your playground. You aredramatic idealistic, creative, romantic and very optimistic. So if you're in a positionwhere you can share this optimism, and entertain others. Not only have you createdyour own playground of your own, you also have your own playmates in the form of anaudience, friends and/or coworkers. Some Leos do not work well under authority. So youmay find that you're playground/career may be self-employment and it must be somethingthat you are proud of. Most Leo's never forget the childhood; often they feel they have tohide this, as the world seems too serious for them. So it is very important that you allow thechild to play.VIRGO - Okay this may actually take some organization and planning, doesn't seemmuch fun does it? Virgos are very very serious in fact one might wonder if they areeven a child when they were a child. In their younger years many would considerthem to be very mature and reliable. So you may have to slot out an hour a day to play.Believe it or not, if you can relax, you will be most satisfied at a great job of helping otherpeople organize or analyze. You are fact-finding and enjoy a dissecting to find out whatmakes something work. So you enjoy science, mechanics, humanitarian, cleaning and factfindingcareer. So don't forget to make time in your schedule to play and be a child.LIBRA - You are very intellectual and your mind is always busy. You may think thatpleasing people is your happiness; what makes other people happy is what makes youhappy. But this is not always the case. As it drains you, causing a nervousness thatcan be quite debilitating. So you really need to learn how to play. You are very sociable andextremely artistic, a group, clubs, or classes where you can explore your different artisticabilities will bring out the child within. Shopping can bring out the child within as well; justmake sure you have the money first. You'd make a very good secret shopper, its right upyour alley, make money and shop for free! Remember don't just buy art make it.SCORPIO - You actually may find it fun and intriguing and penetrate the minds andthe psyche of others in order to find out what motivates them. However you're sure tofind you may play alone in your playground, and that's no fun. So I think that youeither take up reading spy, murder and mystery books. Collect these types of movies. And ifyou really want to have fun try writing one of your own. You are also very psychic andintuitive. So get involved with groups where you can meditate and exchange psychicknowledge. Have fun investigating, penetrating, your own inner motives can also beenjoyable as long as you don't take it so seriously.SAGITTARIUS - If you were to be the inner child that you want to be, then be ateenager. Because you love to learn, you love sarcastic humour, you are freedomloving and athletic. You can also be a scholar. However, as much as you like to learn,you also like to party. So outside of your work and your responsibilities, do some educatingand learning just for fun something that opens your mind and broadens your philosophies oflife. Traveling is also very enjoyable for you as long as it's a learning experience where youcan engage in different cultures. Even watching the travel Channel can bring out theplayfulness in you.121

CAPRICORN - Much like your Virgo sister you can be so cautious and soresponsible, that your practical nature literally suffocates the child within. So youmay have to schedule and organize a time every day. Make it in a place where thereis nothing reminding you of your schedule, your responsibilities you have and how muchwork is still yet to be done. So go into your woodworking shop and build a bench withoutinstructions. But organize a trip with children, cousins and nieces or nephews or your ownchildren where all you do is play.AQUARIUS - Your central nervous system is continuously taxed as the child withinstruggles nervously to get out and play. Often your child within likes to play ontheir own, with their independent, individualistic, intellectual side. The challengemay be finding that alone time. Even if you have to lock the bathroom door and take a 45minute bath, do it! And on the flipside Aquarians can also be very social, so plan a party, goto a party or a social event. And I may have to remind you on a regular basis. Be different,explore your unique side.PISCES - very much like your Gemini and Sagittarius cousins, I think cousins becauseGemini Sagittarius and Pisces are actually very different but related. Because youknow how to play if only the world would let you. You often take on the world'swoes in your conduit for healing. So you need time to re charge your batteries, often. So getout your rubber ducky in your pink Mr. Bubbles fill up that I can't take Jacuzzi bath, lightthe candles, the music and a good sappy novel and you're good to go. Just make sure you'releft alone for a good hour to you that’s fun! And if you can make a weekly trip to anywaterfront or a yearly trip somewhere near the ocean you're in heaven Water is yourplayground.The world is your playground, nurture it and it will nurture you.Planetary Update - Saturn is in Virgo opposing Uranus in Pisces. This influences the wholeworld to get serious and yet want freedom. From constraints and rules, by government,bosses, employees, health care system etc.122

His follow up book, Real Astrology Applied, SportsAstrology & The Horary Textbook are now available. For details ofJohn's work, publications, appearances and courses, visit hiswebsite at http://www.johnfrawley.com.Aclient entered the workshop one day, gorgeously arrayed and carrying a plumpchicken for payment. "What I would like to know," he asked, as I sat him down inour consulting room, "is, will I die?"I had barely finished rubbing my hands together with glee in order to set the chart when, tomy disappointment, I woke up. For it is ever the reality of horary that clients want not justpredictions, but timed predictions. There, alas, is the rub.Finding the event itself is usually the easy bit; the timing is more difficult, as a close readingof William Lilly makes plain. We see him over and again fumbling towards a plausibleanswer, with the aid either of inside information or a querent sat before him so suggestionscan be bounced back and forth until a feasible result is hammered out. The spectacularanswer, where the timing announces itself in trumpet tones of indisputable clarity, doesoccur; but more often than not, the exact timing of a specific event in horary is hedgedaround with cautions and probabilities.This is both salutary and inevitable. On the one hand it keeps the burgeoning egos ofjourneyman astrologers in check; on the other, as when we look at time we are looking at thevery stuff of which our astrology is made - looking, as it were, not so much at the face of theclock, where the events that mark time are displayed, but into the workings of the clockitself - the fathoming of time is bound to be harder than the mere tracking of events.The conclusions about the nature of time to which the practice of an accurate, verifiableastrology directs us are not the least of the benefits of directing our attention to the celestialscience. Two key works to which I might direct the curious reader are 'Plato's Myth of Er',at the end of his Republic, and Iain Mackenzie's The Anachronism of Time (Norwich, 1994),which is hard work, but which, with a tight logic, clarifies the concepts with which we mustwork. But we direct our attention here away from our prison bars to the more immediatelypractical purpose of finding the answer in the chart.124

MethodWe will assume that we have set our horary and judged that there will be an event. This willusually have been shown by an aspect between two planets; occasionally by a planet movingto a cusp, or even, rarely, vice versa. Planet to cusp aspects, however, are not to be relied uponto show an event unless the planet signifying the quesited is applying to the querent's cusp.The querent's planet applying to the cusp of the quesited, whatever Lilly may say to thecontrary, tends to show desire rather than fulfillment and is not reliable - except when theevent is more or less certain. That is, 'Will I get the job?' with Lord of the first applying tothe MC: desire; 'When will I get the job?' with Lord of MC applying to the 1st: certainty.The best behaved of charts show a timeable past event. These are not so common, but aredelightedly received whenever they arrive. Suppose the question is 'When will I marryagain?' and we know that our querent divorced three years ago. The chart shows hersignificator separating from Mars, the natural ruler of divorce. If it is y degrees separatedfrom Mars, we know that y = 3 years. So if it now applies to aspect the ruler of the seventhhouse, signifying the future husband, in 2y degrees, judgment is simple: you will remarry in2 x 3 = 6 years. It is as if the chart carries its own scale of calibration, as we might find thescale marked on a map. Conclusions we reach from this are highly accurate and highlyreliable.Few, however, are the charts that show such past events. Or, as in principle I suppose thatthey all should, few are they that show them with sufficient clarity to be of use. So we needto find something else - and this is when it starts to get complicated. For reasons whichcannot be fathomed, students invariably display the utmost resistance to absorbing whatfollows, more than on any other subject. We would suggest, then, that those who wish towork with these ideas print out this page and forcefully insert it into their head through theleft ear with the aid of a screwdriver.We will assume that our chart shows an applying aspect. If it does not, we have no event, sothere is no point in trying to time it. If we have an aspect there will be a number of degreesbetween where the planets are now and where they will be when the aspect perfects. Thisnumber is the number of time units between the time of question and the time of the event.Getting this is the easy bit! But even this is not so simple: usually we take the number ofdegrees that the applying planet must travel before perfecting the aspect. So we look at thedegree at which the aspect happens, following the astronomical truth that the planet appliedto is not going to stand and wait while the other catches it up. Sometimes, however, we takethe number of degrees from where our applying planet is now to where the planet applied tois now - as if the other planet were standing still and waiting. What we have here is in effectnot an aspect, but a transit.Example:Let us say that our event is shown by Mercury applying to aspect Mars, and Mercury is nowat 8 deg of its sign, Mars at 12 deg of its. From looking at the ephemeris we see that aspectperfects when they are both at 16 degrees of their signs. Mercury has had to travel 8 degreesto perfect the aspect, so our judgment will be that the event will happen in 8 somethings:125

days, weeks, months, years, whatever. But sometimes we will assume that Mars stands stilland take only the distance between the planets' present positions, giving us just 4 degreesand so 4 days, weeks, months, etc.So how do I know when to go for the true aspect and when to go for the transit? I don'tknow. I have not found any reliable guidelines in either the texts or in practice. I wouldsuggest that the only guide is that in many cases one answer will make sense within thecontext of the question, while the other will not. I suggest that this is what we see Lillydoing in various of his judgments - bouncing possibilities off the client, or off his ownknowledge of the realities of the situation.Suppose we ask 'When will the King be executed?' and find that the transit-type judgmentgives us 3 days and the perfection-type gives us 6. We might know that the trial has yet tofinish, and when it does it will take time to build the scaffold and organize the hot-dogconcessions. 6 days would make better sense.The golden rule in all matters of timing, as in all else in astrology, is that we do not have tobe perfect. We are allowed to judge, "It might be in three days; but weighing all the evidenceI think it more likely to be in six."We have a piece of music; we must allow ourselves to play. We can swing it or we can playit straight: we are still playing. The one vital point is that we learn our scales, else we cannotplay at all.So: we have our number of time units; we now need to work out which is the appropriateunit. Lilly brings nothing but confusion here. First, he gives two contradictory scales oftiming; second, he pins both to fixed units. The suggestion that, for instance, angular houses= years is most unhelpful. Suppose our question is "When will my boyfriend phone?"; 'years'is not a relevant concept. So put Lilly away and listen up.Any question carries its own time-frame, which will have a short, a medium and a longpossibility. For the love-struck teenager demanding 'When will my boyfriend phone?'minutes as short, hours as medium and days as long might be the options. For the olderquerent asking 'When will I meet Mr. Right?' years must be the longest option, givingmonths as medium and weeks as short. The three units will follow one from the other: wedo not have minutes, months and years."Yes, but this assumed time-frame limits the possibilities of what the chart can tell us." No, itdoesn't. We can have perfection in less than one degree, so our decision that years, monthsor weeks is the reasonable range of choice for 'When will I meet Mr. Right?' does not clipCupid's wings. A perfection at less than one degree on our fastest option could still give us'This afternoon!'To decide which of our time units we shall choose, we consider the sign and the house inwhich our applying planet stands. Ignore the sign and house in which the planet applied tostands. No, I know you weren't listening: ignore the sign and house in which the planetapplied to stands. Even if you like the look of them, ignore them!126

Within our reasonable time-frame for the question, fixed signs will give the longest timeunit,cardinal the shortest and mutable the middle one. That is the easy bit. Thecomplication comes when we introduce the houses, as there is an in-built contradiction. Oftheir nature, angular houses equate with fixed signs and so indicate the slowest time unit.Cadent - as might be expected from a house that is literally 'falling' - gives the fastest;succedent the middle. Combining house and sign will give us, for instance, long + long,which must indicate our longest unit. Or short + short, which is our shortest. Any othercombination will give our middle unit."But that's not fair, ref!" Yes, the system is heavily weighted in favour of the middle unit.This probably says something about the nature of things; but if the chart wishes to show usthe fastest or the slowest it is quite capable of so doing.Now for the contradiction: angular houses of their nature are slow. But a planet in anangular house has a good deal of accidental dignity. Accidental dignity increases the planet'spower to act. If that planet wants to act, then, it is well able to do so, and is likely to actquickly. So angular houses are fast.The key is the word 'wants': the issue of volition. If things are unfolding of their nature,whatever is in an angular house will unfold slowly. If whatever or whomever the angularplanet signifies is, within the context of the question, in a position to act, and if (and only if)the receptions indicate that it wants to act, it will act quickly. This inherent (apparent)contradiction is the reason for Lilly giving two apparently contradictory tables.Example: I ask 'When will the cheque arrive?' and find the significator of the cheque in anangular house. There is nothing the cheque can do to expedite its own arrival. The angularhouse would suggest a slow time unit. On the other hand, when Asian women ask thequestion 'When will I meet the man I will marry?' it is common to find their significators inangular houses. Once they have taken the decision that it is time to marry, there is a gooddeal that they can do to expedite the process, in contrast to Bridget Jones, who can only waituntil Cupid squeezes himself into her life. If these angular significators provide us with anapplying aspect, and if (as the fact that she is paying to ask the question would lead us toexpect) their receptions show that she wants the match, we can take this angularity asshowing a fast unit, because she has power and wishes to use it.Similarly, if a would-be Napoleon were to ask 'When will I conquer the world?' and we wereto find his significators in cadent houses, even given an applying aspect we would have toassign a slow time-unit, because he has little power to act.Confused yet? If not, you probably haven't been paying attention. Let us throw a few moreingredients into the stew. What we have so far is the number of degrees needed to perfect anaspect giving us the number of time units, and the sign/house combination of the applyingplanet telling us which time units they are. In a good proportion of charts this will work. Iwould suggest using this unless common sense tells that the answer it provides is wrong.In some charts, we consider only the sign of the applying planet, not its house. Whichcharts? The charts where we consider only the sign of the applying planet, not its house. I127

would like to be able to quote a rule, but have never found one. They just look like 'sign-onlycharts'. Given enough practice, you will develop an eye for them. It may be that apreponderance of them have the planet in a fixed sign, but as with Lilly's empirical 'rules',this suggestion should be treated with caution.The number of time units, as shown by the number of degrees, is subject to change. If theapplying planet is moving significantly faster or slower than its usual speed, it will take agreater or lesser time to cover the same number of degrees. We can, if we wish, adjust thenumber. I have timed predictions with an unnecessary degree of accuracy by carefullycalculating the exact proportion by which the planet is faster or slower; but while suchdisplays of virtuosity make an amusing party trick there is little point to them. 'A bit' isquite accurate enough an adjustment.NB. the speed of the applying planet will - if we are sufficiently Virgoan to factor it in - affect onlythe number of time units. It will not affect our choice of time unit. Please, gentle reader, write this out500 times to make sure it is instilled into your head.Double-bodied signs make things slower. Our psychologically inclined brethren will tell usthat this is because they are far too busy talking, worrying, or going down the pub to botheracting. This too will affect only the number of time units, not their nature.In practice, it is not usually necessary to consider these factors, work though they do.Striving to tell our client that she will meet Mr. Right at 3 minutes past 10 on Monday 28thserves only our ego. 'Around the end of the month' is all the accuracy required.If the aspect is to a retrograde planet, so that both planets are applying to perfection, theevent can happen faster than the number of degrees would suggest. How much faster?Usually 'a bit'. In such cases it is probably best to use the number of degrees to give an outerlimit of time, qualified by 'probably sooner'.If the chart that shows two aspects indicating that the event will happen, these aspects willusually - as we might expect - show the same time. 'Close enough' is good enough. If one, forinstance, shows 12 units and the other shows 3, a correlation of 12 weeks = 3 months issufficiently close to add confidence to our prediction. We could, in principle, expect them tobe exactly congruent; but such an expectation ignores our place in the cosmos. We are awarethat nor progressions nor transits to the nativity manifest exactly as they happen; so withdegrees of precision in horary. If the planets send us an angel, it takes a while for him to findus amid the fogs of this world of generation and corruption. Our gross coporeity resists theinstant response that the chart might suggest.When judging horaries, we do best to disregard what we might think is real time. It is acommon failing among students, no matter how hard they are beaten, to cling to the ideathat if the ephemeris shows that the aspect will happen next Tuesday, the event shown bythat aspect will happen next Tuesday. No it won't! What the ephemeris shows us is timefrom our perception, which is an illusion; what the planets show us is as close anapproximation as we may easily get to time as is. 'Next Tuesday' is rarely a correct responseto "When will I meet Mr. Right?"128

When ephemeris time does become relevant is when our questions are on generalindications over long periods of time, or when we wish to look beyond the immediate limitsimposed by the question to see what may happen over a longer period. This is often toreassure the querent that all is not lost.Examples:Suppose the question is "Can you give some general indications for my business over thenext few months?" and we find that the querent's business is signified by Jupiter, which willenter its own sign in three months' time. We might judge that things will start looking uparound then. Experience is that the querent will usually respond, "Oh yes - that'simmediately after the big trade show", or some such, and that such indications will proveaccurate.Or, suppose the question were "Is this really the man of my dreams?" and the chart gave anobvious judgment of "Are you insane?" We might look further, noting that in a couple ofmonths the querent's significator moved out of its detriment and into some interestingmutual receptions, and so add "But by the Autumn you'll be feeling much better in yourself,and so be able to enter a relationship that nurtures you, rather than scraping the barrel ofhumanity out of sheer desperation, as you are doing now". Or words to that effect.When considering the longer term, a planet's passage through an entire sign shows one ofthe natural time-units, usually a month or a year. So if, for instance, the querent's businesswere signified by Venus, placed now at 28 Leo, in a question about long-term prospects, wemight judge (other testimonies concurring), "You may feel you have the world at your feetjust now (Venus on Regulus), but you are entering a sticky period (into Virgo). The nextyear (passage through Virgo) looks set to be a story of considerable potentials (Venus intriplicity) never quite unfolding (Venus in fall). Overall, the downside during this period isgoing to be significantly more than the up; but after that (Venus into Libra) all falls happilyinto place. So grit your teeth and hang on in till then." It is foolishness to look beyond thenext sign or two, as if we do we find everything happening to everybody. And this lookingahead does need to be done sparingly: students show an enthusiasm for racing planetsaround the chart as if it were a Snakes and Ladders board; such enthusiasm is better curbed.For the most part, we are concerned only with a planet's next aspect and nothing beyondthat.Lilly gives several examples where a 'real time' transit is significant. So if Mercury applies toJupiter he is judging not "It's four degrees till perfection; it will happen in four weeks", but"My ephemeris shows this aspect happening next Tuesday at 3.56; it will happen then". Ouradvice to the student must be, "Don't try this at home!" Please.We suggest that, if you really must dabble in this kind of thing, it is best kept to side issues.Example: we have decided that boy, our querent, will marry girl in six months' time, judgingby the six degrees needed to perfect the aspect between them. We note that both planets arein major dignities of the ruler of her fourth house, showing that her father has a major say inthis matter. We note also that at 11.52 on Friday 28th, boy's planet transits the twelfth cusp,there being a mutual reception between the ruler of the twelfth and the significator of the129

girl's father. The twelfth being the house of animals larger than goats, we advise that at 11.52on the 28th he attends the market, where he will be able to purchase the very camel that willswing the father's opinion in his favour.On the subject of transits, let us deal with the idea that if something in the horary chartconjuncts something in the querent's nativity, the chart is 'radical' (whatever that maymean). I ask a question about love, and find in the horary that Venus is right on my natalAscendant. Does this make the chart radical? Of course not. It shows that Venus istransiting my Ascendant, and I, surprisingly enough, am thinking about love. No more thanthat. Let us not forget that this with which we deal is a congruent system: it all fits together,in the most intricate and endlessly remarkable of ways. That Venus is on my Ascendantmay show that I am thinking about love - a fact that might be obvious from my going to anastrologer and asking him 'Does she love me?' - but it tells us nothing about whether thislove is reciprocated. Such considerations serve only to confuse the issue. All charts are'radical', and we are well advised to keep the querent's nativity well apart from his horaries,lest they breed monsters.A particular instance in which the 'real time' movement of the planets can be significantoccurs in lost object questions. In the chart for such it will often be found that thesignificator of the object is combust: it cannot be seen. Assuming that all else in the chart isindicative of a recovery, we can reach down our ephemeris, note the exact moment at whichthe planet leaves combustion, and judge, "You'll find it then". This may present the oddpicture of thousands of people around the world throwing up their hands in glee as theyrecover cherished possessions at exactly 8.22 GMT, but it seems to work with the reasonabledegree of reliability that is all we ask.When a date is specifically mentioned in thequestion, it is often of great significance, so itis always worth checking the planetaryplacements on that date against the horarychart. As a general rule, if we restrict thequerent to few words, whatever those fewwords are will usually be important; if thosefew words relate to timing, let us look atthem.This querent was desperate for her son to beaccepted into a school - a prospect that waslooking increasingly unlikely. Her ambitionsto place him in a private school had excludedhim from the acceptable state school options,while he had been turned down from theprivate school she wanted, for reasons whichshe believed were unsound. The boy had anentrance exam at another school, and anappeal at the school desired, both on nameddates. How would he fare?130

His significator is the ruler of the fifth house, Jupiter. The schools are shown by the ninthand its ruler, the Moon. The first exam was on the 18th of May. By transit, the Moon, Lord9, was on the 5th cusp on that day. This is a positive testimony, but there was no mutualreception with Lord 5. At this school the boy passed satisfactorily, but with no scholarship.The appeal at the second school was due on August 10th. On that day, the boy's significator,Jupiter, transits the ninth cusp, where, it being in Cancer, it is exalted - so the boy is thereand is highly thought of. Would he get the scholarship? Yes. And so it proved.Similarly, if the question contains a given bound of time, this too will be reflected in thechart. It can be taken that the end of the relevant planet's present sign is the end of the giventime-frame. So if I ask, "Will I win the lottery this year?" and find my significatorconjuncting the ruler of the eleventh house (pennies from Heaven) immediately after itleaves its present sign, I would judge, "No; but I will early next".Robert Nunn has recently emerged from the grueling series of tests and tortures thatcomprise The Horary Apprenticeship as a fully fledged Horary Craftsman. While indulgingin that favourite astrological recreation of bumping off members of the royal family - anamusement which would have William Lilly's whole-hearted approval - he asked "Will theQueen Mother live to see her 100th birthday?"With a woman of this age we must be awarethat she is bound to die at some point; so weneed to look at the birthday. His reasoningwas: the Queen is given to the 10th house, sothe Queen Mother is given to the 10th fromthe 10th, the radical 7th, and so signified byVenus. The Moon is translating light fromVenus (Queen Mum) to the Sun (herbirthday). Will it get there in time - before theSun changes sign? Yes, it does; so the QueenMother gets to see her hundredth birthday -and so, of course, it proved.Finally, as a little light relief, there are thequestions that admit of only one possible timeunit. Yippee! Let us dance and rejoice!Margaret Cahill, an Apprentice on the point ofqualification as a Horary Craftsman, asked atwhat time a certain employee with a watch purchased from Salvador Dali might arrive atwork that day. As she judged - in a chart submitted before the event - the employee wassignified by Saturn, ruler of the sixth house; the querent herself by Mercury (Lord 1) and theMoon.131

The Moon applies to aspect Saturn in fourand a half degrees. Which planet applies towhich is irrelevant: that the querent's cosignificatorapplies to that of her employeedoes not mean that she will have to go tothe employee's house to drag her out of bed;that the planets come into contact issufficient, within the assumptions of thequestion.The Moon needs four and a half degrees toperfect the aspect with Saturn, so thetiming must be four and a half somethings.Minutes were not an option, as the questionwas asked at 7 am and the business did notopen till 9. Days were not an option, as theassumption of the question was 'at whattime today?' As with our example of therepairman in The Real Astrology, the chartcan show that the person will not arrive at all; but as we have an aspect our only option mustbe hours. She will arrive in four and a half hours - and so it proved.132

Her book has beenpublished by Janus Publishing Ltd & isavailable on all book selling websites acrossthe world.As an Astrologer I wasconstantly on the horns of adilemma: my clients wanteddefinitive black and white answersabout their futures and yet what I hadlearned in Astrology, was that we havefreewill and that the planets are only aguide.Astrology should, in my eyes beused a tool for good and timelydecision making and for greater selfawareness; however many of my clientswanted to use Astrology as theultimate financial, emotional andvocational ‘sat nav’ – Take a left atthe next turning and you will find MrRight; keep in this lane for the nexttwo miles and you will find the job ofyour dreams! It’s fair to say that someclients seemed quite happy to leave thedriving of their lives up to Fateentirely. It made me think deeply aboutexactly how much control we do haveover our lives by virtue of freewill andto what extent we are at the mercy ofFate. The amount of people in the UKand US who frequent Psychics,Astrologers, Palmists, Tarot readers andthe like each year appears to indicatethat a great many of us do indeedbelieve that fate has a significant handin our life path. Has our life storyindeed already been written by acosmic author and can the psychic giveus a sneak preview of forthcomingevents. So, do we have a destiny? Is thisdestiny set in stone or can we changeit by conscious effort and freewill.133

I am sure that we all list amongst our friends those who defend the power of theirown freewill vehemently and who brand psychics etc as charlatans; just as many willswear by their accuracy. The rest are perhaps too scared to find out; or as I havediscovered, those who are happy and satisfied with their lives rarely troublethemselves with the question of fate versusfreewill. The burning question of whatdestiny is and how to find one’s own destinyis the domain of those who are dissatisfied,unhappy or in turmoil.Madonna once said, “When youwant something badly enough, it isas if the entire universe conspires tohelp you achieve it.”Prolific writers on this subject like Uri Gellerand Jo Vitale, as well as books like ‘The Secret’contend that one’s life course is totally within our sphere of influence: we, not Fateare in control. They advocate the use of a combination of positive thinking,affirmations and visualisation to achieve one’s dreams. Their bottom line is thatvirtually ANYTHING is possible and the limit is simply one’s own imagination orbelief system. Is it really as simple as it sounds: how fabulous?Madonna once said, “When you want something badly enough, it is as if the entire universeconspires to help you achieve it.” This theory is at the heart of positive thinking.I conducted my own extensive research into this subject and found that therewas more to positive thinking than thinking positive. In order for visualisation,affirmations and the like to be effective, you need to root out both conscious andsubconscious beliefs which can scupper your best efforts at positive thinking. I wasamazed at how powerful subconscious beliefs could be! What I mean by subconsciousbeliefs, is the ideas which are set into or programmed into our thinking which wedo not often think about, but which influence all our decisions. Often these subconscious beliefs are planted by our parents, teachers or religions; here are someexamples: dreams don’t come true; stick to the day job; you aren’t good at maths; actors arealways out of work; everyone in our family is fat; money is hard to come by; being veryrich is sinful; you’re not university material; you’re working class; get a proper job; if youdon’t get married you will be on the shelf; money is the root of all evil; all the bestgirls/guys are taken. In order for positive thinking to be effective we have to eradicateall the negative seeds which others or perhaps past experience has planted within ourpsyche. It is not always easy as often these negative, limiting notions are deep seatedand, it is said that a negative thought is four times more powerful than a positiveone. This is one of the reasons why positive thinking often does not work; all ourbest efforts at visualisation and affirmations are undermined by that little voiceinside saying: this will never work; you don’t deserve it; it can’t be this easy. All ittakes is a small amount of doubt to negate everything.I return to Madonna’s theory and note that single minded, focused attention on a goalallowing no doubt to creep up on you should have exactly the results she has experiencedaccording to the theory.How often have you heard someone say: I’ll believe it when I see it or when I seeresults. However it rarely works that way, as Linda Goodman says, “For all thosewho believe, expect a miracle!” The belief or the mindset is the lynchpin.134

Another more recent slant on positive thinking is Cosmic Ordering, a systemsupported by Noel Edmonds who purportedly found it highly effective. CosmicOrdering appears to be a rather novel and updated version of ‘saying one’s prayers’!One asks the universe for something and (hopefully) it is granted to you. Again, ona deeper level, I think one can only gain from this method to the extent to whichyou honestly believe you deserve or can achieve what you are asking for. NoelEdmunds attributes cosmic ordering to the reigniting of his career.Deepak Chopra who writes extensively on spiritual matters; discusses theconcept of synchronicity with respect to destiny and the finding of one’sdestiny. Synchronicity: something we often refer to in daily life as ‘beingmeant’ or ‘coincidence’, is almost like a little nudge in the right direction from Fate.Synchronicity can also take the form of a serendipitous event or meeting whichchanges the course of our life. I believe that synchronicity underlines the notion thatwe do indeed have a destiny - which we may be totally unaware of - and Fate willvia circumstances attempt to push us towards that destiny. The effects ofsynchronicity can often be appreciated when we look back at our lives and howthings ‘mapped’ out. I came across a concrete example of one of these little life changingcoincidences: Penny and Mike returned to the UK after working abroad for many years withnot much money, but a dream of running a guest house. Totally disconsolate after anotherfruitless day of searching for a B&B to buy in the South East; Penny hurled the propertymagazine into the back of the car with dismay. Later on tidying the car, Penny noticed thatthat same magazine had flopped open on a certain page: a page advertising a guest house forsale in the Cotswolds. By “coincidence” this guest house was in a little town where she andher husband had once dreamed of living. Filled with a sense of ‘this must be meant’ theywent for it and despite many odds, were the proud owners months later. After starting withnothing more than a full guest book and £200, they now run an award winning guest house.Positive thinking tends to be far more successful when the goals we envision areunselfish or are in tune with our higher purpose or, put another way: our destiny.But, how do we know what our destiny is:The Chinese word for Crisis is maybe synchronicity can provide us with a‘Change with Opportunity’: many guide. Perhaps only age and the selfawareness which comes with maturity cantimes as an Astrologer, I wouldanswer that question. Radio talk show hostsee in a chart that there were James Whale, in his recent biography “Almost agreat opportunities for my client. Celebrity” contends that he never plannedanything in his life: one event seemed to lead toanother as if a cosmic director was at work. He says that looking back he can see the vitallink that every event in his life, both good and bad played in the unfolding of his life story.Perhaps James’ life exhibits synchronicity at work or perhaps he is more in tune with hisdestiny and able to capitalise on the coincidences and serendipitous events that may passothers by.The Chinese word for Crisis is ‘Change with Opportunity’: many times as anAstrologer, I would see in a chart that there were great opportunities for my client.However that client would convey to me that they were suffering great tribulations.What I came to see was that the ‘comfort zone’ was the biggest block to potential:135

when we have nothing to lose our lives are dynamic and we go for things;however when we reach a certain level of achievement we become semi satisfied; westop taking chances as we are scared to lose what we now have; as a result westagnate. Fate often creates crises in our lives to destroy those comfort zones and tofree up our potential again. This is an example of Fate stepping in to give us one ofthose nudges. One of my clients said the following about astrology: “The revelations frommy chart were the start of a new chapter for me. They had set me free. Relieved from thisimmense guilt that had weighed upon my shoulders, I began to understand and see thepurpose behind everything that everything that had happened over the past six years. Witha new perspective on the past, I was at last able to move forward.”Another popular writer on these matters is Louise L. Hay, the author of ‘Heal YourLife’. While Louise also champions positive thinking and affirmations in achievinggoals, she stresses that the key to happiness and success with affirmations is the‘releasing’ of all resentment, bitterness and fear. Somewhat like Christianity, Lindaemphasises the value of ‘forgiveness’ as an essential element in moving forward andnegating the influence of the past on your psyche. Forgiveness does not only involveforgiving others, but also forgiving yourself: no one is unscarred by a mistake. Guiltand self recrimination is another major reason why positive thinking often does notwork. Guilt, resentment and fear are some of the most destructive and harmfulemotions. Vanessa, 34 and a stressed out yet successful lawyer remarked that reading LouiseL Hay’s book had made her far more aware of how invasive negative thinking was in herlife. Although Vanessa is not ready to believe that anything she affirms or visualises willmaterialise; she had found that the use of affirmations and her awareness of how importantbeing positive is, has already had an impact on her daily life and in reducing her stress level.Where does Karma fit into this picture? As the cliché goes: what goes around comesaround; but, does everything balance out in one lifetime or over many lifetimes. It issaid that the Astrological Chart is a snap shot of the vibrations we have set uparound this lifetime, by virtue of our forgotten actions in a past lifetime. The notionof Karma has become more and more important as many more people look to pastlife regression therapy for answers. Perhaps then, we need clear our Karmic slatebefore we are really able to grab hold of the reins of our life and use positivethinking to any useful degree. Lara, 42 who recently began to read in depth about Karmaremarked that it was the only theory which had ever made the vast suffering of her lifesomehow understandable. This new understanding had given her new strength and theability to forgive and move forward for the first time.So which is it then: choice or chance; Fate or freewill? Are our fates sealed at themoment of birth?As an Astrologer, my answer is that Astrology is about choice, not chance. Astrologycan guide us and we can use it to help us forecast and navigate life events, but theultimate control lies with us and how we choose to deal with what life dishes up.There is indeed a high road and a low road and the choice is ours. Maria, 27 whovisited an Astrologer found the following: “The astrologer’s words diminished the pressureI was putting on myself; I began to take the view that my life was not just a tick-boxexercise; fate was wiser, things would happen they way they were meant to, when the time136

was right; there was indeed little point in agonising about something I was powerless tochange.”And, what about that concept of destiny? I see life as an old tree: when we areyoung we are travelling up the trunk of the tree, as we have very little say in thedirection of our lives; as we reach adolescence we start making choices which willaffect our life course, this is where the tree begins to branch out. The choices wemake will determine where on the tree we end up, but the tree itself can neverchange; a poplar cannot become an oak. The tree, like our destiny, is the frameworkfor our life, but we do have a wealth of choice within that framework.My experience has taught me that while some people relish the notion that they canbe in total control of their lives via positive thinking; others prefer to lay their lifein the Lap of the Gods; in a way abdicating responsibility for the their futures.Debra from the North East of England, who started her working life as a waitress but whonow lives in Argentina where she is a teacher fluent in Spanish, said, “I pinch myself everday and marvel at how I ended up on the other side of the world speaking a differentlanguage and living in such an amazing country. Thinking back, this journey started by myown free choice when I decided to spend a year out in South America, but somewhere alongthat way fate seem to have taken over and kept steering me.” Debra’s experience givesevidence of the combination influence of fate and freewill.I believe that the relative influence of Fate and Freewill in a life course is asindividual as the person involved. There is no standard; your own unique beliefs bothconscious and subconscious will determine how much say Fate gets in your life.Thus if you want to take more control over the direction of your life; you can doso from today: all it begins with is waking your self up from your sleep walkthrough life and acknowledging the possibilities you never previously believed werethere.Lisa J. Gordon is the author of a Spiritual Thriller, A Sealed Fate; in which she discusses these verysame issues within the context of an account.137

Launch Your BookWhy Astrology Is Science: Five Good ReasonsByTapan Das, CanadaIn today’s world, at least 90 percent of Americans under age thirty are said to know theirSun sign, yet no one has ever really delved into answering the question: Is astrologyreally a science.Tapan Das, Ph.D., P.Eng. has written a masterpiece answering this question in his bookWhy Astrology is Science: Five Good Reasons.In this book, Tapan has explained in details the followingfive good reasons:1. Astrology is based on statistical analysis;2. Astrology is social science3. Astrology is linked with alternative medicine;4. Astrology is explained by cosmic energy andbiofield;5. The basis of astrology is similar to quantummechanics.Stars and planets each have a different influence on our lives depending on their positions intheir signs and heavenly houses…….All these cosmic forces shape our thoughts which in turndirect our actions. If we are warned that we are prone to rash actions due to the influence ofcertain planets, then we can hold a check on our emotion and rash action and catastrophicresults. If we know that the position of the planets give a favorable condition, then we cantake advantage of it by proper action. This is how astrology can help without giving specificanswers to specific questions.This book is written for scientists, astrologers, and those with a keen interest to learn a newperspective on astrology that is sure to inspire a new sense of wonder about stars and planetsand their patterns and relationships that hold significant meaning to all of us.After reading the book, the reader will understand how stars and planets indicate thepositive and negative aspects of a person’s life, that astrology can outline the future but cannot answer one-to-one question. The reader also will have a basic knowledge of astrology,1381

astronomy, alternative medicine, and quantum mechanics to understand the five goodscientific reasons.The scientific community will begin to see astrology in a new perspective after reading thebook. They will find that astrology is social science based on statistical analysis notcompeting with natural science such as physics, chemistry, etc. It is based on probability, notcertainty.Author’s bio:Tapan Das has 35 years of technical management experience intelecommunication, wireless, IP, WiFi and ASIC.

Deathin AstrologybyRon Bippus, Canada.Copy Editor: Lorin Cerina, CroatiaR on Bippus is a professional Astrologerwith 35 years experience. Ron has re-typedall of William Lilly's "Christian Astrology"and it is now available in modern English.This is the most informative book everwritten on the art of horary astrology. Aswell, Ron has turned Lilly’s horary astrologyinformation into a modern horary textbookentitled appropriately enough the “HoraryHandbook”. He lives and practices inToronto, Canada. He can be contacted onronbippus@rogers.comNo rational person would deny thatbirth and death are the mostimportant events in life. Theseevents mark the beginning and the ending,the alpha and omega. Therefore, deathevents should be clearly shown in the chartby dynamic planetary aspects. Any chartthat shows no such activity at the time ofdeath is simply not correct. Unlike ancientastrologers who used complex rules ofanalysis to successfully predict death,modern western astrologers avoid thisdifficult issue and some even insist that itis unethical to predict. In fact, predictionin modern astrology has become unreliablesince the late 19th century when Alan Leoeliminated many of the classical rules inorder to make astrology easier tounderstand.Some modern western astrologers thinkthat death occurs at the time of a heavytransit from the outer planets - Saturn,Uranus, Neptune or Pluto. That issometimes true, but not very often.Mostly, people die under a progressed ordirected aspect to an angle, especially theMC/IC axis. Any planet, even beneficslike Jupiter or minor planets such asprogressed Venus or Mercury can act as140

the trigger for death if it rules one of the houses involved in the end of life or aspects theruler of one of these houses.Classical astrology considers the matters ruled by the houses to be the most important issuewhen beginning an analysis. I use the Regiomontanus house system for all of my charts. Thefollowing are the issues of life ruled by the relevant houses in classical astrology. The 1 sthouse is the house of life and health, the 4 th marks the end of life; the 6 th house rules illnessand the 8 th house is the house of death. The 7 th rules the doctor and the 10 th is the house of allmedical treatment including surgery. An example of the difference between modern westernastrologers and classical is that modern astrologers tend to think of the 10 th house only interms of career or reputation.For a rough estimate of life span from the natal chart, look at the orb between the ruler ofthe 1 st house of life and the ruler of the 8 th house of death or the IC and the ruler of the 8 th .Look for the two planets or planet and angle to perfect a hard aspect - a conjunction squareor opposition. Moviemaker, Robert Altman was born 20 February 1925, 17 Gemini rising, anddied on the 20 th of November 2006, age 81 years. To estimate his lifespan, look first at the orbbetween Mercury ruler 1 st and Saturn ruler 8 th . Mercury is at 21 Aquarius conjunct the 10 thhouse cusp, and Saturn is at 14 Scorpio in the 6 th of illness. The orb is 97 degrees. That wouldbe an improbably long life span, so we need to look at a different indicator. The IC or end oflife is in applying conjunction to Saturn ruler 8 th , orb 83 degrees. At his death Solar Arc ICwas exactly conjunct natal Saturn, ruler 8 th of death. Transiting Neptune was trine theascendant, indicating the use of drugs to ease his pain. He was more than ready to go after alengthy battle with leukemia, a blood cancer.Transits, progressions and directions can all trigger events that can lead to death. Thismeans that there is a whole suite of indicators that need to be checked before predictingimminent death. Transits are usually reinforced by the progressions, though not always.There may be transits that are the only event to trigger a death, but this does not happenvery often. Sometimes the only activity in the chart is a transit by a planet to an angle. Someastrologers swear by tertiary progressions, but I personally prefer transits, Solar ArcDirections and Secondary Progressions. Usually two of these three ingredients in the recipefor Death are in place before something serious and major happens. More often than not,there is activity on all dynamic fronts, transits, progressions and directions. These aspectsdon’t always have to be hard aspects. In some cases, the easy aspects serve just as well.The MC/IC axis is the angle most often activated when someone dies. The 4 th or IC is theend of life and the 10 th or MC is the house of medical treatment. Since the Moon in classicalastrology always co-ruled the ascendant or 1 st house of health, the progressed Moon conjunctthe MC or IC is often involved in triggering death. Astrologer Alan Leo, born 7 August 1860,had the Sun ruler 1 st widely conjunct Jupiter ruler 8 th of death in the 12 th of misfortune, anindicator of a short life. His Sun/Jupiter orb is six degrees or about six decades, being fixedand cadent. When he died he had the progressed Moon exactly conjunct the MC a monthafter his trial and conviction for fortune telling. Even though he was fined only £25, the141

emotional stress triggered his death. When he died he had transiting Saturn ruler 6 th ofillness conjunct Jupiter ruler 8 th of death. SA Mars ruler IC was trine the IC and sextile theMC and the Mars/IC orb is his closest estimate of lifespan. He was ‘sick’ of his legalproblems and only wanted an end to it. He was a mere 57 years old.Albert Einstein on the other hand died with progressed Moon conjunct the IC or 4 th of endof life after a lifetime of science and pleasing the ladies. The only transit within orb at thetime of death on the 18 th of April 1955 was transiting Neptune square natal Mars. From this Iconclude his doctors stopped life prolonging drugs and allowed nature to take its course. Arecent article in Scientific American celebrating his life delved into his personal habits anddocumented several hundred romances with female admirers despite the fact he was legallymarried. One wonders when he had time to work at physics. By the time he reached hisseventies he had slowed down intellectually as well as physically, so he was more than readyto end his life at the age of 76. Natally, Moon ruler 1 st is separating from a trine to Saturnruler 8 th . The orb for Saturn to oppose Moon is 70 degrees. The orb is 73 degrees until theMoon conjoins Jupiter ruler 6 th of illness and MC of medical treatment; a crisis in his illnesswas reached and treatment ended. Tertiary Sun squared Saturn ruler 8 th . This indicates areasonably long life span for his time.There isn't one particular aspect that is a death aspect. Any planet can indicate death if itrules the 4 th , 6 th or 8 th houses and makes a dynamic aspect to an angle, especially theMC/IC. More often than not the progressed Moon or another progressed planet is in tightaspect to the angles. Generally it is a hard aspect like the conjunction, square or oppositionthat leads to death. But soft aspects such as a sextile and trine can also indicate death. After alengthy and painful bout with cancer most people are more than ready to let go and passover to the other side. Ted Kennedy, brother of assassinated president John F. Kennedy, hadbrain cancer and died on the 26 th August 2009 with secondary progressed ascendant trinenatal Moon, and tertiary progressed Moon trine natal Venus and conjunct natal Jupiter. Theeclipse just before his death hit his natal Jupiter ruler 12 th in the 7 th , so he was ready to gointo seclusion and fade from the public. An easy death followed a lengthy illness.When death is indicated by hard aspects then death is generally not welcome or theindividual is in such bad spot that he commits suicide. Hermann Goering, commander ofHitler’s Air Force, committed suicide rather than face a lengthy and humiliating war crimestrial at the hands of the Allies. He killed himself with poison smuggled in by a guardseduced by a beautiful female accomplice. At the time of his death on the 15 th of October1946, Solar Arc ascendant was conjunct the natal Sun, indicating his light or life force wasbeing extinguished. As well, transiting Neptune was trine natal Neptune, showing death bypoison rather than being hung by the neck. Transiting Jupiter ruler 4 th of end of life wasconjunct the South Node in Scorpio in the 11 th , as was the secondary progressed Moon, rulerof the 8 th . So this was a case of 11 th house friends helping him to end his life. The SA Moonwas square natal Mars ruler 1 st , indicating an emotional crisis involving death, and tertiarySun ruler 9 th was square natal Mars ruler of his Scorpio ascendant. There was no way out142

ut death, so his personal beliefs led him to end his life by his own hand and cheat theenemy of a victory. The Moon/Mars orb to perfect a square is a good estimate of his lifespanOuter planet transits through the 8 th house or aspecting a planet in the 8 th can be responsiblefor deaths. But just because you have a transit or progression in your 8 th does not meanyou're going to die either. The Moon's Nodes may or may not be implicated in a death. Theyare found to be active in potential physical death only some of the time and can’t be countedon. In reviewing eclipses I have found most people don’t die on one and having an eclipseclosely aspect a natal planet or point is no sure indicator of death.The potential for death can be gleaned from the natal chart and certain markers can beidentified which point to a life-threatening time. There is in fact historical evidence thatancient astrologers like the Greeks were extremely pragmatic regarding death and a wholechapter of the Tetrabiblos was dedicated to calculating "The Length of Life". AstrologerWilliam Lilly devoted a fairly lengthy chapter in Christian Astrology to indicators of deathrelated to the 8 th house. Yet he devoted even more space to indicators of a long life.There are modern astrologers who will argue that death leaves no markers in the native'schart because death is a non-traumatic transition, like walking across a threshold, and it canbetter be detected through a loved-one's chart as a grieving. In my opinion, this is simply nottrue. I use the date of death for the final rectification event to correct the birth time of deadcelebrities. As expected, this shows that some celebrity charts were right on time, some wereout only by seconds, and others needed extensive work.Does death leave its mark on children and other close relatives? Sure it does, it would betruly surprising otherwise. Death is still one of the most traumatic events to happen inanybody’s life, especially the death of a parent, spouse or child. My own mother died in 1988with transiting Pluto, natural ruler of death conjunct natal Moon in Scorpio in the 8 th ofdeath, at the apex of my Sun/Moon/Pluto T-square. This is one case where outer planetstransits in the chart of a close relative clearly indicated that someone would die. Tertiaryprogressed MC was opposite natal Mars ruler 8 th and SA Moon was sextile ascendant. Mymother died after six months of treatment for very painful lung cancer. My younger sisterhad progressed Moon square natal Moon, and transiting Pluto trine natal Mercury ruler 1 st .Both the emotional trauma and the relief at my mother’s passing are clearly shown in herchart. My older sister had progressed MC square natal Uranus. She experienced the suddendeath of her mother (MC) after lengthy illness. In classical astrology, mothers are ruled bythe MC and fathers by the IC. As this example shows, the evidence for a traumatic eventlike death can be clearly seen in the charts of family members.Let me explore other indicators of long life in the natal chart. In this question you need tosee if the ascendant, its ruler, and the Moon are free from misfortune. That is if the ruler ofthe ascendant is free from hard aspects such as conjunction, square or opposition to the rulerof the 4 th , 6 th , 8 th or 12 th houses. You must also see if the ruler of the 1 st is direct and angular,143

especially in the 1 st or 10 th house. In any natal chart this is the best place for it, or in the 9 th or11 th houses, or in good aspect with Benefics such as Jupiter, Venus or Sun.Indicators of a short life are the ruler of the 1 st in the 4 th , 6 th or 8 th or the rulers of thesemalefic houses in the 1 st . The only way this can be countered is having Venus, Jupiter or Sunin the 1 st house as well as the rulers of the malefic houses. John F. Kennedy had Libra rising,with Venus ruler 1 st in Gemini in the 8 th of death; Venus squared the Moon co-ruler 1 st inVirgo in the 11 th . The two rulers of the 1 st in conflict indicate severe health problems. Saturnruler 4 th of end of life and natural ruler of bones is in detriment in Cancer in the 10 th ofmedical treatment. This suggests that even if he had not been assassinated he would stillhave had a very short life because of his severe health problems. Jupiter ruler 6 th of illness isin Taurus in the 8 th , another indicator of early death due to an illness. He had severalautoimmune disorders that were treated with drugs, Neptune in the 10 th .Kennedy’s short 46-year life is illustrated by the orb from Moon ruler of the 10 th of medicaltreatment to Neptune of drugs in the 10 th . Both planets are illness related and he neededtreatment when SA Neptune conjoined the natal Moon. At the same time SA Moon wassquare natal Neptune and SA Venus was conjunct natal Neptune. This is an overpoweringpicture of a major negative event requiring medical treatment. The orb in both cases is 45degrees, and he was murdered on the 22 nd of November 1963. His SA Sun natally in the 8 thwas exactly conjunct the MC at the time of death, carrying its natal flavour of death anddestruction with it. His life span can be estimated from the orb between Sun in the 8 th andthe MC, and his career was ended by sudden death.However, these indicators are not by themselves always reliable, because it is the planetaryaspects that are the best indicators of a planet’s influence in the chart. Paul Newman hadCapricorn rising with Mercury ruler 6 th , Sun ruler 8 th and Venus ruler 4 th all in his 1 st houseof life. He also had Jupiter conjunct the ascendant from the 12 th and Venus in the 1 st .Mercury, Venus and Jupiter are all opposite Pluto in the 6 th of illness. Despite this, he lived along and productive life, had a happy marriage and children and was well respected for hiswork as an actor. The key to his long life are the sextiles from Saturn ruler 1 st in the 10 th tothe stellium in the 1 st . Despite some obvious difficulties shown by the placement of therulers of the malefic houses in the 1 st , the fact that two of the planets are benefic Jupiter andVenus is enough to counteract the negative influences. Sun ruler 8 th is also in the 1 st , but inits detriment in Aquarius and conjunct the South Node. This makes the Sun’s influencevery weak but allows its energy boost to extend Paul’s life to the maximum allowed by theSaturn/Sun orb of 83 degrees.For a rough estimate of lifespan, look at the orb between the ruler of the 1 st or the Moon andthe ruler of the 8 th . For Paul Newman, born 26 Jan 1925, the Sun ruler 8 th is natally inAquarius in applying square to Saturn ruler 1 st . The Saturn/Sun orb is 83 degrees, so itwould take roughly that many degrees or years to make a conjunction. This gives a roughestimate of about 83 years for his life span. He died on the 26 August 2008 at the age of 83½with transiting Jupiter conjunct the ascendant. Actor Don Ameche was born on 31 May 1908144

and died on the 6 th of December 1993. He died when SA Saturn, which is natally in the 4 th ofend of life reached his natal Moon ruler 8 th . The orb is just over 84 degrees, and he was 85 atdeath.Learning to estimate lifespan is a specialized skill and requires a great deal of practice. Youneed to study the charts of people whose birth and death times are known with a high degreeof accuracy and apply a whole suite of analysis tools. There are several indicators, which caninteract in many different ways. To judge life span accurately takes an in-depth knowledgeof astrology and a good bit of experience. It is a challenging task but no more so than anyother important question in astrology.DEATH DATASp = Secondary progressed; Sa = Solar arc; Tr = Transit; Moon is coruler 1 st .Tp = Tertiary progressions1.

Financial Astrology Micha Felner– An InterviewConducted For Saptarishis AstrologyByMaarit Laurento, FinlandMaarit Laurento has had an interesting talk with Micha Felner who has developednew fascinating methods for financial astrology. Micha Felner is originally fromIsrael and is now living in Amsterdam. He is a member of ISBA, theInternational Society of Business Astrologers http://www.businessastrologers.com . Youcan contact Micha at felner.micha@gmail.comWhat is your astrological background, Micha?My astrological era began in 1982 and since then it was more or less my only doing. From thebeginning I have developed methods which are different from the ordinary classicalastrology; however these methods are very well based on the traditional astrology.How and when did you become a financialastrologer?Around 1997 while I was staying in the US, Istarted to investigate the stock market with a lot ofcuriosity checking if my method was good enoughfor analyzing the stock market. That time I wasnot aware as to what I am getting into.What do you mean by saying that?Now, after 12 years I can say that it was the mostfascinating learning process I ever had. Some partsof the journey had been painful, like in the oldsaying:“No pain, No gain”. When the Sun is in the 8 thhouse like it is in my case, this is my main way oflearning. From the methodical point of view, thereis no better feedback than the stock marketperformance, to give a clue if my way of thinkingand analyzing is right or wrong. In a personalconsultation, the client may return or may not. The stock market history and currentperformance always exist to teach you something. All along the years I spent unlimited timecomparing the market history and the different planetary combinations trying to understandthe connection between the two.157

You mentioned your different methodology, could you, please, tell us more aboutit?Yes, of course. I am using a traditional method that gives each planet a solar or a lunaridentity by a day or a night chart principle. This is a very important tool as each planetexcept the Sun and the Moon are ruling 2 signs which are very different from one another.Having this identity is helping for more precise birth chart analyzing and prediction. Inaddition, I am using a house system called “The Focus Degree House System”. It is an equalhouse system that combines the Asc and the Mc to an average degree, which is the center ofthe house.This degree can be called as “The Main Life Clock”.The last important method factor is the intense use of the 3 crosses to have a betterunderstanding of life processes. (1-7/4-10 2-8/5-11 3-9/6-12)By that, each planet going into a house, reflect the other 3 houses that belong to the samecross.You predict the future; what kind of prediction system do you use?I am using transits planets and transits midpoint to sensitive points such as the Focusdegrees that I mentioned before. By that, I am only looking at exact birth time factors, sothere is a great dependency on exact birth time data. To make the process easier, I produceda computer program that enables the user to find the exact birth time within 2 hours of anestimated time. All you have to do is to type in few significant events from the person’s lifeand the program instantly comes up with the exact birth time.Please tell us more about the data issue. What kind of data are you looking for?Regarding the market data, and I am referring only to the US market, I am using the birthdata of the main indexes such as: Dow Jones, S&P 500, Nasdaq and Russull 2000.More problematic is the company’s data. I am using the excellent file of Michael Munkaseyfrom the US. In that file there is information on most companies that are trading in NYSE,including the changes history of the companies’ formation.I am using the first trading data, together with the last registration date of the company. Notalways the exact data is available, but in the end I can say that Michael did and doing a greatjob dealing with this matter. Without this file, my life as a financial astrologer would bemuch harder.Let’s get back to the methodological issue. In your experience, what is needed fromthe astrological method to be most suitable for the stock market analyzing?In my experience, there are 2 important conditions for that. One is that for any givenindication using by that method, the positive or the negative influence will be defined veryclearly. There is no room for a lack of clarity. The second condition is that it should be clearwhat is more important and what is less regarding the different indications using thatmethod. Without these 2 basic conditions it will be impossible to make the right analyzes.Let’s talk about your actual work as a financial astrologer. Are you a traderyourself?Yes, I am.158

When you compare yourself with other traders, what kind of similarities anddifferences do you find?Unlike anybody else that are busy listening to all kind of information trying to figure outwhat is meaningful, and what is not, my job is not to listen to anything.What do you mean by not listening?I am expecting my method to give me an advantage, so while people are busy with thecurrent trend, I can prepare myself to the next phase, by what I see coming in my papers. IfI will listen to the ordinary information, it will just take me out of focus. So the CNBCchannel is open in my place, but mostly to follow the market movements, and much less tolisten to different people’s opinions.Could you, please, give us a more specific example?I am choosing now stocks for 2010 portfolio. Sometime there is a big difference between thestock performance right now and between the potential future as it’s appear to me.My work is to take an advantage of that gap and find the best buying period.If the stock has a down trend right now, and I understand why it is from the astrologicalpoint of view, then the turning point will be when positive astrological data is replacing thebad one, and just before that it might be a buying period opportunity.It sounds very simple, is it so?It is not as simple as it sounds. Sometimes, the positive and the negative astrological datacoming together and I have to evaluate many factors at the same time. When more andmore positive astrological factors are coming into the picture, I should trust what I see andput money on the table a while before, even the trend did not change yet. So when I want tobe one step ahead, that means to be able to act many times in the opposite direction than thecurrent trend. However, to follow one stock is not as difficult as it is to follow the market asa whole.Do you mean predicting the directions of the main indexes such as Dow Jones,Nasdaq etc?Yes, this is the real difficult part. If there is anything that I spent 90 percent of my time ison this issue of defining the US stock market structure from the astrological point of view.Could you, please, be more specific?I am using the main indexes birth chart data, not only each chart alone, but also differentcombinations of composite charts between the indexes. For example, the composite chartbetween the Dow Jones and the S&P 500 create a cycle at 3 degrees of Cancer. When Plutowas at 3 degrees of Capricorn, according the method I am using, it was one of the importantfactors for the major up-trend in the market during that period of time. By many otherdifferent calculations, there are more many cycles. In the end, there is a complete map ofcycles for the US market. Then for any given time I check the current transits picture inregards to that complete US market map. Of course not all of the cycles are activated at thesame time, but for any given time, there is enough information to evaluate.This is the complicated part. I am glad for any time I am having a success, and when it isnot the case, I am willing to learn from it for the next time.159

Can you give an example for both cases, for a success and for a failure?On summer 2008 I was able to predict that September 2008 is a problematic period for themarket. I was not sure how strong it will be, but in the end I prepared the right position tobenefit from the down trend. Also, around the end of March 2009 I was convinced that themajor down trend is over, so I was buying stocks at a very cheap price. That was fun. On theother hand, I did not see the February 2009 strong down trend, so I sold my short positionstoo early and did not benefit from that trend.Do you consult other people regarding the stock market?From time to time I give a recommendation on different stocks. In most cases people wantto know about the market in general.Furthermore, do you give consultation to business clients?I consult few companies’ managers regarding their business.What kind of information are you able to give them?I am kind of a time planner for them. When is the good time to act, or when is the time notto act, or which direction to put the energy in any given time.Things to do and not do?Yes, exactly. The most important consultation is about deals. Go or not go regarding newbusiness activities.It sounds like a lot of responsibility?It is. I prefer to say what I see and to be wrong, then not to say and realize that what I sawwas correct. Business people are interested in what can give them an advantage incomparison to others. As long I am giving them that, they are happy.Otherwise, they will not come anymore.What is your opinion regarding the crisis; how bad is it, when will it end?I think for the moment, we are coming out of the crisis. It may take more time then theoptimistic recovery view. It is looking like the market is still vulnerable to a down trend,any time the optimistic view for a quick recovery will not be justified by the reality. In 2010in general I see a huge difference between sectors performance in US economy.Furthermore, the problem is not when the sense of crisis is still in the air, but when thingswill get back to normal. Then I see new bubbles in the world economy. When these bubbleswill explode, the 2008 crisis will be like a children’s game, as compared to that new futurecrisis.When is it going to happen?This information I tend to keep between me and myself.The seventh international financial and business astrology conference ISBA 2010will be organized in Finland next summer (Helsinki June 11-12). You are going togive a talk. What is your topic for that talk?160

I am going to talk about the US stock market outlook for 2011. In my talk I will combine afull explanation regarding the methods I am using, together with a complete US marketoutlook for 2011. It is a great challenge, and it will be a 2 hours talk divided into 2 parts.See you all next June in Helsinki!Maarit Laurento has been a professional astrologersince 1997 when Astro Bar was founded in downtownHelsinki, the capital city of Finland. In addition to personalanalyses she has worked as a business astrologer since then(business strategies, management, and coaching).

Jacko’s - BirthTime RectificationThe Case Of Michael JacksonByMicha Felner, HollandReadership Level: AdvancedMicha Felner is well known for havingdeveloped new fascinating methods forfinancial astrology but his more importantcontribution is his own software forrectification of birth times. Micha Felner isoriginally from Israel and is now living inAmsterdam. He is a member of ISBA, theInternational Society of BusinessAstrologers You can contact Micha atfelner.micha@gmail.com. His website ishttp://www.astro-balance.net/Following M. Jackson mystery death,a debate regarding his exact birthtime began. Different charts hadbeen suggested as the real one charttogether with very convincing arguments.Because M. Jackson was born only once, Ithought it will be useful to run amethodical rectification case by the Solar-Lunar method.Here is the list of events for therectificationRelease “Off the wall” album – 8/1979Release “Thriller” album- 12/1982Winning the Grammy award – 26.2.1985The buying of “ATV music” – 1985Wrote " We Are The World” – 1985MJ seen for the first time wearing asurgical mask in public – 1990MJ being accused in molesting 13 years oldboy by his father – 8/1993MJ being arrested – 20.11.2003What Is The Solar-Lunar MethodThe solar-lunar method is a basictechnique that gives each planet rather asolar or lunar identity.162

.In the diagram above, the dividing line divides the wheel into 2 symmetrical parts, so eachplanet represented on both sides. In that diagram, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto appears as ahigher level of Saturn, Jupiter and Mars.By the Sun-Moon polarity represented by Cancer-Leo signs, we can see that it takes 30degrees to change from a Solar phase to a Lunar phase.This principle applies for each one of the planets by giving them solar or lunar identityA Day Or A Night ChartIt is all determined by the position of the Sun above or below the horizon.If the Sun is above the horizon, it is a day chart.If the Sun is below the horizon, it is a night chart.In a day chart, each planet in the chart will have a Solar or a Lunar identity as it appears inthe half side of the Sun in the diagram above. (Day)In a night chart, each planet in the chart will have a Solar or a Lunar identity as it is appearsin the half side of the Moon in the diagram above. (Night)Therefore:In a day chart (Sun above the horizon):Mercury, Mars, Saturn, Uranus, Pluto will have a Lunar identity.Venus, Jupiter, Neptune will have a Solar identityIn a night chart (Sun below the horizon):Mercury, Mars, Saturn, Uranus, Pluto will have a Solar identity.Venus, Jupiter, Neptune will have a Lunar identity163

0 44Focus /11.515Focus /13In both cases, the focus and the karma degrees, these degrees create a 12 houses degrees cycle,means that the 2 nd house focus degree will be at 11GE30 and so onIt means that the 2 nd house karma degree will be at 13 Leo.The Rectification Process – Verifying The EventsWhen we are verifying the events, the focus will be on the position of 6 major transitpositions:UranusNeptunePlutoUranus/NeptuneUranus/PlutoNeptune/PlutoStage 1Looking at 1979 event – most of the major planets, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto is at thedegree 17.As it is the first main album release, we can assume that the focus degree is at 17 degree or at2 degree (45 degrees cycle)Stage 2If the Focus degree is at 17 or 2 degree, what are the possibilities for the Karma cycle degreeto be?The Moon-Node in MJ chart is at 23LI.So the possible degree for the karma cycle is20 or 5 (45 aspect)165

when calculating midpoint between 17 and 23Or12 or 27 (45 aspect)when calculating the midpoint between 2 and 23After a quick check of the events above and the main transits planets positions, it wasmostly clear that the 20/5 appearances are much more dominant.That is leaving us with 12 possibilities, in the range of 24 hours rectification, as the focusdegree is at 17 degree and the karma cycle is at 20 or 5 degrees.Stage 3Going into the second event – 12/1982 we are trying to find out:Can we get another confirmation to the degree 17 as the focus degree?Can we have an idea what is the 1 st house sign which will lead us directly to the exact birthtime as we know already the exact degree?The 6 main positions are:Uranus – 6SAGNeptune – 26SAGPluto – 28LI30Uranus/Neptune – 16SAGUranus/Pluto – 17SCNeptune/Pluto – 27SCWe can consider 2 transits out of 6 around the 17 degree as a kind of confirmation for the 17degree as the focus degree.We can not have any idea by this 1982 event what is the 1 st house sign of MJStage 4Now we are coming to one of the most important years of MJ life the 1985 year.In that year he received the Grammy award, he bought the “ATV Music” and he wrote thesong “We are the world”Looking at the Grammy award date – 26.2.1985The 6 main positions are:Uranus – 17SAGNeptune – 03CPPluto – 04SCUranus/Neptune – 25SAGUranus/Pluto – 26SCNeptune/Pluto – 04SAGThe most interesting position is:Uranus at 17SAG166

Regarding Uranus at 17SAGIf we compare the 1979 first main album release to the Grammy award event, this is the onlymain transit position that repeat itself.Neptune was at 17SAG in 1979 eventUranus was at 17SAG in 1985 event.We like to make an assumption that 17 in mutable signs will be the 1 st house sign.In that case we have 4 possibilities for the 1 st focus degree:17 Gemini17 SAG17 VIRGO17 PIECESNow for the first time we will use the solar/lunar principles to figure out whichone of these 4 possibilities is most likely to be the right one.We have to assume that Uranus transit was solar to the 10 th house as it was creating andadvancing MJ status.By that:Gemini 1 st house is a night chart as the Sun is below the horizon.Uranus transit will be in that case Solar in the 7 th house(Uranus is solar in a night chart)Because the 90 degree aspect turns the phase of the planet, it will be lunar regarding the 4-10houses.So we have to drop that possibility.Virgo 1st house is a day chart as the Sun is above the horizon.Uranus transit will be in that case lunar in the 4 th house(Uranus is lunar in a day chart)So we have to drop this possibility as wellWe remain with 2 options only: SAG or Pieces 1st house sign.17 SAG in a day chart comparing to 17 pieces in a night chartThe main problem to find which the right one is the fact that each transit we will check willhave the same outcome.(See the 2 pictures below)Uranus Transitin a day chart17SAG167

Uranus Transitin a night chart17SAGA solar transit is activating the house.A lunar transit brings a passive energy into the matter.How can we separate between these 2 possibilities?Now it is the time to use the Karma cycle.Stage 5In the 17 SAG option, the karma cycle is 20SC(The midpoint between 17SAG and 23LI)In the 17Pieces option, the karma cycle is 20TA(Because it is a night chart, and the position of the Sun in relation to the Moon-Node is aday chart, we have to make to Moon-Node degree to be a night chart as well-means to be23CNBy that the karma cycle is the midpoint between 17PI and 23CNNow we have 2 options which are in opposition between one another one is a day chart –20SCOne is a night chart – 20TA in regards to the Sun position in Virgo.If we will check transits to this cycle, we will have different interpretation by the solar-lunarmethod.Here we come.Regarding the 8/1993 molesting accusation:In general we are expecting to find solar transits to the 8 th house, and lunar transit to 5 th / 11 thhouses.These accusations could hurt MJ reputation badly, and that is what the lunar transits to 5-11houses should show.168

In addition we may find solar transits to 1-7 houses and lunar transits to 4-10 houses as itputs in risk MJ’s career.Here are the positions of the main transits:Uranus – 19CPNeptune – 19 CPPluto – 22SCUranus/Neptune – 19CPUranus/Pluto – 20SA50Neptune/Pluto – 20SA50To begin with, all the positions are around the degree 20 which is the karma cycle in bothpossibilities.We will focus first on Uranus/Pluto and Neptune/Pluto midpoints both at 20SAG.For the 17PI focus degree possibility which makes the karma cycle to be at 20TA (A nightchart)Both midpoints are on the 8 th house degree of the karma cycle.Because it is a night chart:Uranus/Pluto midpoint – both planets are solar and activating the 8 th house.Neptune/Pluto midpoint is mixed, Neptune is lunar and Pluto is Solar to the 8 th house.We always consider Pluto influence to be stronger then Neptune, so it is the solar Pluto tothe 8 th house that dominant the picture again.Karma Cycle At 20TA20TAPluto at 22SC is a bit out of the picture as we are discussing the 20 degree cycle.However, for this possibility the Moon-Node/MC-1 cycle is at….22TA, as we take the MC 1 st house degree which is 21PI as the MC is at 21SAG.169

Because it is a night chart, it is the solar Pluto that activating the 7 th house degree, and bythat 4-10 houses will be lunar.BINGOThis is what we are looking for.The 8 th house and 1-7 houses are having solar transit at the same time.This is not only “BAD”.This is really “BAD”.To complete the picture, on 20.11.2003 when MJ was arrested Pluto is at 19SAG and movingforward to 20SAG announcing one of the most embarrassing happening in MJ life.Again the 8th house degree of the karma cycle had been activated.At that time, the Moon-Node itself is at…. 20TA !This can explain the difference between the 1993 event when there was no arrest involvedand the 2003 event.In 1993, regarding the midpoint Neptune/Pluto at 20SAG, the Neptune is lunar to the 8 thhouse, which makes it to be solar to the 5 th house.So there was a way out then.In 2003 solar Pluto to the 8 th house is stand alone making the lunar influence to the 5 th house,so there was no escape this time.What would happen if we take the other option of 17SAG which makes the karmacycle to be at 20SC – A day chart.In that case, in August 1993:The lunar energy will be on the 2 nd house- 20SAG.By that, the solar energy will go to the 90 degrees phase, to 5-11 houses.By that it should be a supporting reputation event, and it was not.The same is about 20.11.2003, when Pluto was at 20SAG.Pluto is lunar in a day chart and on the 2 nd house, sending solar energy to the 5 th house.So it is not making any sense as well.By that we can determine that the 19:40 PM is the right time forMJ which was born on 29.8.1958 and died on 25.6.2009ASC – 13PIMC – 21SAGFocus – 17PIKarma – 20TA170

How To PredictStock Market Crashes& Great DepressionsByRobert Gover, USAReadership: Intermediate To AdvancedRobert Gover (born November 2, 1929)grew up in an endowed orphanage (GirardCollege in Philadelphia), attended theUniversity of Pittsburgh on athleticscholarship (swimming the butterfly),received a degree in economics, worked as ajournalist, became a bestselling novelist byage 30, lived most of his life in Californiawhere he began his study of astrology, andnow resides in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware.His latest novel is Two Brothers. Hedescribes it as an “economic novel.” Onebrother becomes a millionaire, the other askid row bum. A third character was aneconomics professor till he studiedastrology—he was subsequently confined inan insane asylum. Robert’s first novel, OneHundred Dollar Misunderstanding, is asatire on racism and remains a cult classic.He has published 10 novels and 2 works ofnonfiction, including Time and Money: theEconomy and the Planets. He can bereached at gocycles@aol.com.Who knows how or why theplanets influence us? Ifsomeone knows for sure, I wishthey’d tell me. The best I can come up withis that, at some level of our being, we are theuniverse and all the whirling planets wethink of as “up there in the sky” are really“in here, in our souls,” and your soul andmine aren’t really separate, they’reinterwoven with the universe—it’s just thatwe’ve been taught to believe they areseparate, and in our external reality that’show it appears.We are also part of collectives callednations, each of which, like any otherentity, has a “birth” or start-up time thatcan be used to erect an astrological chart,showing where the planets of our solarsystem were when each entity arose in ourcommon reality.Now, not everyone may agree aboutwhen a nation was born, exactly, or where.Astrologers argue about the precise birthtime of the USA, for example. And inChina, not everyone may agree that the truebirth time was the founding of the PeoplesRepublic of China—some may argue that anancient dynasty’s originating date should beused. Nations live on landmasses, so it canalso be argued that nations of people and thelandmasses they live on are one and thesame. Although governments may change,you have to go back quite a few millennia to171

chart major changes in landmasses, and thus in the nations of people who live onthem.The modern USA is a bit different in this regard, for although there were uncountedpeoples living in the Western Hemisphere before Columbus ran aground in what we nowcall the Bahamas, native populations were almostentirely obliterated by diseases they had noimmunity to, brought to them by explorers twocycles of Pluto-in-Capricorn ago, the late 1490sthrough the early 1500s. The newcomers to theAmericas then created nation states on theEuropean model.The USA was born when it separated fromits mother country, England. That separation isI want to emphasize that my systemfor predicting crashes doesn’t work100 percent of the time, but it hasworked since 1857 with but fewexceptions.dated July 4, 1776, although it was really more a process than this specific date implies. MostAmerican astrologers accept this date as the birthday of the USA but argue about what timeon July 4, 1776 the actual birthing occurred. In other words, when did this new nation takeits first breath, free from dependence on its mother country? The time most astrologersaccept for this event is late afternoon of July 4, 1776, usually designated as 5:10 PM and called“The Sibley Chart.”I prefer to use what is usually called the “Gemini Rising” chart, mainly because themost influential founders were Masons and this chart puts Venus, Jupiter, Sun and Mercuryall in Cancer in the 2nd, the “money house.” The rapid rise of this new nation to the world’smost expansive and wealthiest is a kind of testimony, I think, to a birth time of 2:15 AM.Also, that time puts Uranus in Gemini on the Ascendant, and “Uncle Sam’s” persona to theworld certainly fits the astrological reading for that combination.No matter what time on July 4, 1776 we use for the birth time, the system I have comeup with for predicting stock market crashes works by transit-to-natal angles to two importantpositions in the USA’s nativity. For calculating crashes, it doesn’t matter what houses of aWestern style chart they fall in. Well, it matters to any astrologer who wants to explore thefiner points of the USA’s situation at any given time, but not to anyone who only wants topredict when the next major stock downturn is likely.Long ago I gave up trying to predict the stock markets day to day. It seems to me thatso many influences are involved in daily movements, it’s impossible to predict daily ups anddowns by any astrological method more than 70 percent of the time. Although the Lunationand Mars often trigger major daily moves, you could lose your shirt trying to rely on themover time.It’s said in the USA that when the New York Yankees win the World Series, stockswill rise during the coming year. I haven’t researched this but word on the street is that thisstock predictor works 100 percent of the time. Of course stocks can rise in numerical valueduring times of inflation, when investors lose money because the increased numbers ofdollars they make buy less than the fewer dollars they’d invested.I want to emphasize that my system for predicting crashes doesn’t work 100 percent ofthe time, but it has worked since 1857 with but few exceptions. It doesn’t enable you topinpoint the precise time of a crash, but it does give you a “zone” of time within which acrash is likely, very likely, or practically certain. In other words, on a scale of 1 to 10, itenables investors to bet the downside and win better than 90 percent of the time.Since the last quarter of 2007 we have been in a “crash zone” according to my system.The downturn that began in late 2007 turned into a full-blown crash by the summer and172

autumn of 2008. Still within the crash zone in early 2009, stocks ticked up, plunged againMarch, ticked up again and by now (early November 2009) appear to be headed higher. Thiscorrelates with my system—the 2009 crash zone is abating—while a pattern that hascorrelated with past great depressions is forming.One more caution before I get into the details of my system: If you’re an amateurtrader, especially a risk-averse one, you are liable to be scared out of the stock market justbefore a major move that would have made you richer. This happened to me, as I am not askillful trader. I was sure the markets were going to drop like a rock on September 15, 2008,but Congress was voting on a stimulus package around noon of the big crash day. As thevote was being counted, the Dow turned up and I took that as a signal that the market hadgone down as far as it would go that day and sold my bearish positions—only to see the Dowturn down again and dive to a new record after Congress rejected that first stimulus package.I made about half as much money as I would have made if I’d stayed in.The Plunge Protection Team is another factor one has to take into consideration whenpredicting American stock markets. That is the nickname given to a secret group formed byExecutive Order during the presidency of Ronald Reagan. This group’s mission is to preventcatastrophic stock market plunges by stepping in to buy (presumably with taxpayer-backeddollars) when markets appear to be crashing. If the planetary angles indicate crash, the PPTcan lessen the severity, but not prevent theWhenever the US Mars-Neptunesquare is conjoined, opposed orsquared by the outermost planets,there is danger of a stock marketcrash.downturn. The astrological influences and/or“temper of the time” will overpower the bestefforts of conservatives to conserve the systemthat so lavishly rewards them.My system aims at simplicity. Here’s how itworks:A. Whenever the US Mars-Neptune square is conjoined, opposed or squared by the outermostplanets, there is danger of a stock market crash. The outermost planets are Saturn, Uranus,Neptune and Pluto. The two exceptions in US history are the turbulent years of the 1960sand the 1830s during President Andrew Jackson’s term. What may or may not count as athird exception is the late summer and autumn of 2009.B. There is Minimal danger when the US Mars-Neptune square is afflicted by the innerplanets only: Sun, Mercury, Moon, Venus, Mars and Jupiter.C. There is Maximum danger when more than One of the outermost planets oppose, square ormove conjunct the USA’s natal Mars or Neptune.D. Usually, it is a Combination of inner and outer planets afflicting the US Mars-Neptunesquare which bring panics. Mars and/or the lunations often act as triggers when Saturn,Uranus, Neptune and Pluto oppose or square the US Mars-Neptune square.E. History suggests that the number of planets afflicting is more indicative of a crash and panicthan the preciseness of the orb.173

F. Caution is called for when transiting planets move through Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius andPisces.The following is a quick summary of past crashes and the planets which wereafflicting the USA’s Mars-Neptune square at the time:1857: Neptune and Mars in Pisces.1869: Saturn in Sagittarius.1873: Mars in Sagittarius; Sun, Mercury, Jupiter in Virgo.1893: Pluto, Neptune, Sun, and Venus in Gemini.1903: Pluto and Venus in Gemini; Uranus in Sagittarius; Jupiter in Pisces. 34.1% loss fromFeb. to Nov.1907: Pluto in Gemini; Saturn in Pisces. 40.9% loss from Dec. 1906 to Nov. 1907.1916: Mars in Sagittarius, Chiron in Pisces. From Nov. 1916 to Dec. 1917, the Dow droppedby more than one-third. This loss is spread over too long a time to qualify as a panic, but Iinclude it here because of the amount lost: 34.9%.1920: Saturn in Virgo; Mars in Sagittarius. The Dow plunged precipitously in October 1919.Before the turnaround in the summer of 1921, the Dow had lost 41.2%.1929: Saturn in Sagittarius; Jupiter in Gemini. Oct. 28 and 29, Dow lost 24.5%.1932: From peak reached in Sept. 1929 to May 1932, the loss was 81.8%1937: Mars, Moon and Moon’s Node in Sagittarius, Chiron in Gemini, Neptune andMercury in Virgo. From Aug. 1937 to April 1938, Dow lost 39.3%.1946: Uranus and Moon’s Node in Gemini, Mars and Venus in Virgo. From May ’46 toMay’47, Dow lost 25.3%1987: Saturn and Uranus in Sagittarius; Moon’s Nodes in Pisces and Virgo. Oct. 19 Dow lost22.6%1997: Mars and Venus in Sagittarius; Moon’s Nodes in Pisces and Virgo.April 3, 2000: Pluto and Chiron in Sagittarius, Venus and Mercury in Pisces. Dow lost 19.6%during this month.May 15, 2001: Pluto, Mars and Moon in Sagittarius; Sun in Pisces.174

September 11, 2001: Pluto and Chiron in Sagittarius; Saturn and Moon in Gemini; Sun inVirgo. Dow had lost 22.9% by December 2001. NASDAQ fell 50.7% from July 2000 high toDecember 2001.Oct. 2007 - Mar. 2008: 19% drop. Uranus in Pisces opposite the US Neptune was the mostinfluential.Sept. 15, 2008: 500 point drop. Full Moon conjunct Saturn-Uranus opposition,conjunct/opposite US Neptune and square US Mars.One of the most fascinating things about the study of astrology is that you cannotpredict anything with absolute certainty. At least I can’t predict the stock market withabsolute certainty. After defining all of 2008 as a crash zone because of a Saturn-Uranusopposition that hit the USA’s Mars-Neptune square—a prediction that proved true—Ipredicted that another exact Saturn-Uranus opposition in September 2009 would bringanother crash, but that one didn’t materialize. After stocks fell in March 2009, theyzigzagged higher to the present, November 2009, even though the Saturn-Uranus oppositionwas closer to exactly hitting the USA’s Mars-Neptune square in September. What this andother similar instances suggest is that the affliction to the USA’s Mars-Neptune becomesmost effective when stocks are ripe to fall. But after a crash, prices are low and ripe to rise,and not likely to fall again when hit again by the same pattern that coincided with theprevious crash.The stock market is not to be confused with the overall economy or the FederalReserve. Talking heads on TV financial news shows often suggest that if stocks rise, theoverall economy is robust and all is well with the Fed. Actually,the stock market is part of the overall economy, as is the Fed. Butstocks can rise while unemployment drags down the overalleconomy and the Fed struggles with gnarly monetary problems.By November 2009, many media pundits declared the“Great Recession,” as they called it, over and done because stockswere rising. But so was gold, as the dollar was falling andunemployment remained around 10% (or closer to 20% by a fullermethod of counting). It remained to be seen whether we werereally beyond the worst of the economic woes that struck in 2008, for the astrology involvedindicates we—in the USA—are headed into another great depression.We have never avoided a great depression in the past whenever the outermost planetsform a grand cross pattern with the USA’s Sun-Saturn square. And by late 2009, the Saturn-Uranus opposition of 2008-2009 was evolving into a T square with Pluto square Uranus,which will move within orb of a grand cross to the USA’s natal Sun-Saturn square. Thisnext grand cross will form gradually. By July 2010, as indicated by the chart below, a Saturn-Uranus-Pluto T-square will hit the USA’s natal Venus-Jupiter conjunction, but not yet bewithin orb of the USA’s natal Sun.175

What this affliction to the USA’s natal Venus-Jupiter indicates is the probability oftrouble with monetary matters for the USA. Since it is the Fed which deals with suchmonetary matters, it’s the Fed which we can expect to be undergoing a radical (Uranus)transformation (Pluto). And since the Fed and the dollar have, for the past 60 years, been sopivotal to the world monetary system, we can expect this planetary pattern to coincide withsome kind of major change in the world’s monetary system.During 2009, there have been persistent rumors that the BRIC countries (Brazil,Russia, India and China) are dumping dollars, preparing to do away with the dollar as thepreferred currency for international trade. China has begun taking other currencies in trades,so that their trading partners do not have to convert their currencies to dollars in order tobuy or sell to China. Around the world there has been growing resentment against the“Almighty Dollar” and US military hegemony. So it appears now, late 2009, that the dollaris doomed to fall lower against the euro and other currencies. When the dollar falls, gold andother commodities can be expected to rise, and inflation plague American consumers. Giventhe astrology involved, it looks like this trend will either climax or kick into high gear underthe T-square of 2010.During 2010 and 2011, Saturn will move conjunct the USA’s natal Saturn, square theUSA’s Sun, but probably without causing anything very dramatic in the overall economy,because T Saturn will be out of major aspect with Uranus and Pluto.The distinct probability is that the overall economy will go on life-support when Plutomoves within a 7 degree orb of an opposition to the US Sun in November 2011. By this time,Uranus will be moving into Aries and by the summer of 2012 be within orb of an oppositionto the US Saturn—and simultaneously square Pluto in Capricorn, which will be within orb176

of an opposition to the US Sun. This will form the grand cross pattern which hasnever failed to coincide with a great depression in US history since 1776.The Full Moon at the end of December 2012 will be conjunct and opposite Pluto andsimultaneously conjunct and opposite the US Sun, square US Saturn, creating a verydifficult T square. That T square will become a grand cross in 2013 when Uranus moves intoan opposition to the US Saturn simultaneously square T Pluto to form the grand cross withthe US Sun-Saturn square, as indicated by the chart below.The US Sun-Saturn square will be afflicted by the Uranus-Pluto square till 2018,although the effects may linger into the early years of the next decade. These will be crisisyears for the USA and much of the world. The Chinese saying, “Crisis equals opportunity”applies.Since government sets the economic rules and parameters, what the Barack ObamaAdministration does in the USA from 2008 till 2012 (assuming Obama gets a second term)will form the basis for how the USA gets through this crisis period.Uranus square Pluto spells a time of radical change. If conservatives dominate theUSA, determined to perpetuate the status quo, this period will become a lot more difficultthan if progressives dominate and seek new and innovative ways to cope with this time ofradical change. As things now stand, the US Congress is described as “a wholly-ownedsubsidiary of the big corporations,” because so many Congress persons vote for the interestsof the big corporations instead of the voters who sent them to Congress. Corporate lobbyistsdistribute campaign contributions, which amount to bribes, which enable politicians to buythe advertising and public relations that persuade voters to reelect them.177

By 2020, as indicated in the chart above, Saturn will move conjunct Pluto with bothconjunct the USA’s natal Pluto, opposite the USA’s Mercury. This will bring changes to thebusiness community of volcanic proportions. Historically, the USA’s Mercury has to dowith business.Theoretically, the purest form of capitalism is slavery while the purest form ofsocialism is economic democracy. In today’s world, although most nations proclaimthemselves to be one or the other, there is really a mix of capitalism and socialism. If wepose capitalism as the thesis and socialism as the antithesis, it’s quite possible that we willsee a synthesis; something not yet named and defined, arising under this planetary pattern.Economically, the human race seems to progress in fits and starts, taking two stepsforward and one step backward. Pluto’s roughly 250 year cycle in Capricorn has historicallybrought tremendous change—during the late 1490s into the early 1500s, and then during the1760s into the 1770s when the USA rebelled against its mother country, and was born as anew nation. So we can be certain that Pluto’s move through Capricorn during this decadeinto the early 2020s will bring massive, radical, long-lasting change again, although whatexactly the world will look like by 2025 is hard to say. Much depends on what governmentsand economic authorities do in this period to lay the foundation for the future.178

He has published sixpapers on this subject in Research inAstrology with Media in Science (RAMS),International Society of AstrologicalResearch (ISAR).and Journal of the MindshiftInstitute. Recently, he has published a bookWhy Astrology is Science: Five GoodReasons.Modern physics is dominated by theconcept of quantum mechanics. Theprinciples of quantum mechanics are– duality of wave and particle, probability,uncertainty, discreteness of energy, andcontextual behavior. In this article, the authorshows with examples how the principles ofastrology are similar to quantum mechanics. Ifthe research work on astrology is pursued onthese principles, astrology will be accepted as ascience by the scientific community.Quantum MechanicsQuantum mechanics is the science of matterand radiation at an atomic level. Classical(Newtonian) physics failed to explain verysmall particles (where quantum mechanicstook over) and very fast particles of nearlythe speed of light (where theory of relativitytook over). Quantum mechanics correctsclassical physics at the atomic andsubatomic levels. The term quantum (Latinfor quantity) refers to the discrete units thatthe theory assigns to physical quantitiessuch as the energy of light andelectromagnetic wave.Classical physics explained all physicalphenomena in the world with two entities –1179

matter and fields. Drop a stone from a bridge. The stone is made of matter. It dropsbecause the earth’s gravitational field pulls it. Earth as a matter produces gravitational fieldwhich pulls the other much smaller matter like stone following Newton’s laws of motion.Scottish physicist James Clark proposed another field called electromagnetic field layingdown the laws of electric and magnetic fields. Electricity and magnetism are not twoseparate fields but different aspects of a single electromagnetic field. Maxwell figured outthat light is also an electro-magnetic field at certain frequencies.However, problem came with the classical physics in explaining why iron glows red aroundthirteen hundred degrees. According to classical physics, black bodies should glow brightblue at all temperatures. German scientist Max Planck solved this problem by proposing thatmatter particles do not vibrate any way they please, but at frequencies that follow the simplerule:E = nhfWhere E is the particle’s energy, n is any integer, f is the frequency of the particle’svibration, and h is the Planck’s constant. This was the first foundation of the quantummechanics. Following this, the most celebrated scientist of the twentieth century AlbertEinstein explained the photoelectric effect – light’s ability to eject electrons out of metal –using Max Planck’s quantum action. Einstein also showed that light consists of shower ofparticles called photons.While physicists were puzzling over the light’s seemingly contradictory properties - wavesand particles, French physicist Louis de Broglie hypothesized that all entities have both waveand particle aspects. The wavelength of a photon can be obtained from its momentum by theformula:p = h/λWhere, p is the momentum, λ is the wavelength, and h is the Planck’s constant. But, thiswave function differs from ordinary waves in that it carries no energy. For an ordinarywave, the square of its amplitude measures its energy. For a quantum wave, the square of itsamplitude at a certain location represents not energy but probability, the probability that aparticle – localized quantum of energy - will be observed by a detector placed at thatlocation.probability = (amplitude of wave function) 2The fundamental principle of quantum mechanics is based on the laws of probability, notlaws of certainty. Probability is a measure of the relative number of ways an event canhappen. The probability that a coin, when tossed, will come up heads is exactly ½ or 0.5. Butthe result of any toss is uncertain. But, if we flip the coin enough number of times, say amillion times, we will find that heads showed up very close to half a million times makingthe probability of heads almost ½ or 0.5.Danish physicist Niels Bohr, who is considered the founder of quantum mechanics,proposed that electrons can exist only at discrete energy levels around the nucleus of an1802

atom which prevents them from spiraling into the nucleus as classical physicspredicts. Let us look at the picture of a hydrogen atom in its ground state. If we think thatthe electron is looping around the nucleus as shown in Figure 1A, then we are 80 years out ofdate. According to quantum mechanics, the probability density plot of the electron inhydrogen atom is shown in Figure 1B. The density of the dots represents the probability offinding the electron in that region.Figure 1A: Electron looping around the nucleus in hydrogen atom according to classicalphysics.Figure 1B: Electron probability density cloud of hydrogen atom according to quantummechanics.The size of an atom is ~1 x 10 -10 meter. The central nucleus where 99.9 percent of the atom’smass resides is ~1 x 10 -15 to 1 x 10 -14 meter. The size of an electron is not exactly known, butthought to be of the order of 1 x 10 -14 meter. If the nucleus were the size of our Sun, then thehydrogen ground state would be twenty times larger than the solar system. If the electronwere really a point particle moving around the atomic space, it would reside in a space sovacant that it would make solar system seem crowded. Now, if we consider the wavefunction of the electron with its probability density, then the probability density will fill upthe whole atomic space. For instance, let us try to push our hand through a wall. Since atoms1813

are mostly empty space, their electrons are too small to stop us. But, the probabilitydensity clouds of the atoms push our hand back. Pretty effective, aren’t they?German physicist Werner Heisenberg proposed uncertainty principle for the quantummechanics stating that position and momentum of a particle can not be accuratelydetermined simultaneously. If the position of the particle is accurately known, then thespeed and direction of the speed will have poor accuracy. This is because the measurementitself changes the position or speed or direction of the particle. This is not obvious in themacroscopic world around us. If we want to measure the length of a table with a tape, themeasurement does not change the length or position of the table in our acceptable measuringcapacity. In the case of electron, measurement becomes different. The very act of looking atthe electron with a super high power magnifier uses light made of photons. These photonswould have enough momentum that they once hit the electron would change its course.Heisenberg wrote the uncertainty principle as:Δp Δx= h ………………………………. Equation 1On the right side is the Planck’s constant divided by 2π. Momentum is represented by p, andposition (distance) is represented by x. The Δ symbols mean ‘uncertainty of’, not ‘change of’.Hence, Δx is the uncertainty of position, and Δp is the uncertainty of momentum. Since h onthe human scale is extremely small, Δx and Δp are, for all practical purposes, zero ineveryday world.The attributes of an electron are contextual [1] depending on how they are measured. Anexample of a contextual attribute is the color of an object. If you go to a shop to buy a dress,the color of the dress you choose will depend on the light in the shop. If the dress you chooseis white, but the light in the shop is bluish, then the dress will have the bluish tinge.Moreover, if you are wearing tinted glasses, then the color of the dress will also depend onthe tint of your glasses. Hence, the contextual attributes of an object depends on theenvironment and the person observing or measuring it.AstrologyAstrology is based on the idea that the cosmic events happening in the universe affectthe events happening in the Earth. The basic concept of astrology is that the planetsand zodiacs affect the health and energy of a person. By studying the patterns andcycles of the planets and zodiacs, astrologers have gathered data thousands of years ago howcosmic patterns and events affect human life. The planets and their relationship betweenthemselves and with zodiacs change constantly, but can be predicted accurately bymathematical calculations. Thus by comparing the position of the Earth to the planets andzodiacs, astrologers can explain the present event and predict the future.The cosmic energies that we know so far are the protons of elements of the periodic table.The dominant elements are hydrogen and helium along with other elements (lithium,beryllium and boron) with a few like carbon and oxygen. These cosmic rays on their way tothe Earth are deflected by the electromagnetic field present throughout the galaxy. Whenthese cosmic rays reach the Earth, they collide with the atoms of the upper atmosphere of1824

the Earth releasing showers of gamma rays, X-rays and subatomic particles. There may beother forms of cosmic energies reaching the Earth that are still to be discovered.Our Sun is producing energy bursts continuously not only in the form of heat and light, butas radio waves, ultraviolet rays, X-rays, and gamma rays. A solar flare is a sudden localexplosion in a particular region of the Sun’s atmosphere releasing intense bursts of X-rays,ultraviolet rays, radio waves and energy particles [2]. A constant stream of electrons fromthe Sun is responsible for the Auroras on the Earth.The space surrounding the Sun and its corona is plasma. Each planet has a plasma sheath,the size of which is determined by the difference between the electric potential of the planetand that of the nearby solar plasma. The shape of the plasma is like a tear drop with thepointed end facing away from the Sun. The Sun and all planets except Venus and Mars haveintrinsic magnetic field. There are strong “Dust Devils” in Mars which is a storm of highlycharged particles. The planets and their satellites very close to the Earth also act as shieldsfor the energy flow reaching the Earth. The effect of shielding of the Moon is particularlystrong for the Earth. Thus the cosmic energies reaching the Earth are also affected by thesolar system.How these energies affect a person is still to be understood. One theory is that it affects thebiofield of a person. Modern science has confirmed that the human body is not just aphysical structure, but is also composed of energy field. This biofield or human energy field(HEF) is the frontier of modern science, and the development of diagnostic and treatmentsystems. Dr. Victor Inyushin [3] at Kazakh University in Russia has done extensiveresearch in the area of biofield and has suggested the existence of a bioplasmic energy fieldcomposed of ions, free protons, and free electrons. The bioplasmic particles are constantlyrenewed by chemical processes in the cells and are in constant motion. There is a balance ofpositive and negative particles within the bioplasma that is relatively stable. A shift in thisbalance causes a change in the person or organism. At the same time, some of this energy isradiated into space. Dr. George De La Warr and Dr. Ruth Brown built instruments to detectradiation from living tissues, and developed Radionics, a system of detection, diagnosis andhealing from a distance, using the human energy field. They took photographs using thepatient’s hair as antenna. These photographs showed internal diseases, like tumors, cystsinside the liver, and cancers within the brain.The biofield energy has been known in the past and has been called by different names indifferent cultures, such as qi in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), ki in Japanese Kamposystem, doshas in Ayurvedic medicine, prana in Hinduism. The imbalance in the biofieldenergy causes sickness and disease. This concept has been in the practice of many forms oftherapy, like acupuncture, qiqong, ayurvedic, homeopathy, and therapeutic touch.Similarity between Quantum Mechanics and AstrologyLike quantum mechanics, astrology is also based on probability. Astrologers havecollected data thousands of years ago how certain pattern of zodiacs and planetsprovide certain attributes. Sun sign represents the zodiac that the Sun is in at the timeof a person’s birth. For example, the attributes of a person with Sun sign Aries is –1835

leadership, energy, aggressiveness, courage, confidence, arrogance and belligerence. Itdoes not mean that every Aries person will have these attributes. It means that theprobability of an Aries person to have these attributes is higher than other Sun signs. Theactual figure of probability is not quoted so far, but only be calculated statistically from verylarge numbers of collected data.The uncertainty principle of quantum mechanics applies to astrology as well. The Sun signof a person means that the zodiac of the Sun sign, the Sun and the Earth are in line. Theenergy particles from the Sun sign zodiac and the Sun reach the Earth, and affect the peopleborn at that time. But, the energy particles on their way to the Earth can be impacted by theelectromagnetic fields and gravitational fields in the path, and the solar system as describedearlier. Thus there is some uncertainty how much of these energy particles can reach theEarth. Similarly, there are some uncertainties on the attributes assigned to the Sun signs.These attributes have been based on the collected data so far. How extensive the datacollection has been is not known and the attributes may change as more data are collected. Ifthe uncertainty of the energy flow is ΔE, and the uncertainty of the assigned attributes areΔA, thenΔE ΔA = astrology errorAs we see from Equation 1, the multiplication of the uncertainties of position andmomentum in quantum mechanics equals Planck’s constant divided by 2π. In case ofastrology, the values of astrology error and its constancy are not known. But, what isaccepted so far is that there is a margin of error in astrology analysis and prediction.The contextual attributes mentioned in quantum mechanics apply to astrology as well. If theastrology prediction is that a person is going to win some money, then for a poor personliving in poor neighborhood, winning $100 may be substantial and the neighbors mightcongratulate him. But, for a rich person living in rich neighborhood, this amount may beinsignificant and will go unnoticed by the neighbors. Hence, the effectiveness of theprediction depends on the environment and the observers.Conclusion"I think I can safely say that nobody understands quantum mechanics." - Richard P. Feynman, USphysicist.No one has yet claimed to understand quantum mechanics, but it has been successful so farin explaining the behavior of particles at the atomic and subatomic level. Einstein neveraccepted the probability theory of quantum mechanics. His famous saying – “God does notplay dice”. He had constant debate with Niels Bohr about quantum mechanics, but theyagreed that somehow quantum mechanics explains the behavior of atomic and subatomicparticles.Couldn’t the same thing be said about astrology? First thing that should be realized thatastrology is not certainty but probability. Second thing is that the astrology is based on thedata collected over a certain periods few thousand years ago. That data collection has notcontinued; hence astrology attributes have not been updated. Astrology has not been1846

accepted as a science by the scientific community. In order to get astrology accepted asa science, its basis should be similar to quantum mechanics – (1) duality of cosmic energiesas particles and waves, (2) probability, not certainty, (3) uncertainty principle of cosmicenergy flow and human attributes, and (4) contextual attributes.The scientific basis of astrology should be how cosmic energies affect human biofield. Thereare two limitations here. First, scientists so far know very little about the cosmic energies.Our universe is made up of 74% dark energy, 22% dark matter, and 4% ordinary matterconsisting of baryons [4]. So far nothing is known about the dark energy and dark matter.Second, very little is known about human biofield, although currently some research work isgoing on. Until the study of human biofield is taken into mainstream scientific research, thefull effect of cosmic energies on humans will not be understood.References[1] “Quantum Reality beyond the New Physics”, by Nick Herbert.[2] “Cosmic Energy Controlled by Planets and Zodiacs Affecting Human Life”,Tapan Das, ISAR, Vol XXXVI Number 3.[3] “The Human Energy Field”, Gloria Alvino, http://twm.co.nz/enrg.htm[4] “Dark Energy and Primordial Energy”, Tapan Das, The Journal of theMindshift Institute.1857

The EmperorHadrian & AstrologyByLuciana Marinangeli, ItalyLuciana Marinangeli, has studied underthe psycholinguist M.A. Sèchehaye inGeneva and the junghian Mario Morenoin Rome. She is an anchorwoman andauthor for RAI.Her books have been translated in manycountries, as far as Japan.Among her books are Humpty Dumptysalta. Storia iniziatica (‘Humpty Dumptyjumps. A History Of Initiation’, Lo Faro1983), Astrologia tibetana (‘TibetanAstrology’, Edizioni Mediterranee 1987),Introduzione all’astrologia indiana(‘Introduction To Indian Astrology’,Rizzoli 1993), Vivere sereni (‘LivingPeacefully’, Rizzoli 1995), Parlare conPinocchio (‘Talking to Pinocchio’,Bompiani 1996), Contro la sofferenza(‘Against Suffering’, Rizzoli 1998).Introductory NoteThis paper was originally presentedto the International Congress ofAstrology organized by theC.I.D.A, the Italian Center for Astrology,in 1993. It is about the astrological interestsof Roman Emperor Hadrian who in thesecond century A.D. built a wonderfulvilla for himself in Tivoli, near Rome.A research project recently presented bythe “Istituto dei Rapporti con l’Oriente” tothe Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche ofItaly provides for the inclusion within itsscientific programme of an investigation tofind out whether “… the impact that somecharismatic individuals (kings, emperors,military leaders) have had on history’sevents has in fact been instrumental incomparison to other institutions. Inaddition to “kingship”, a historical andreligious category amongst those whichhave been investigated more fully, anoccult decisional moment could beconsidered as being controlled by atechnocracy (which may also overlap withthe others) … the investigation would aimat analyzing the astrological andastronomical data relevant to theinstitution of kingship in order to definespheres of influence in relation to186

institutions”. (1)From this point of view the life of the emperor Hadrian would be a particularly difficult casestudy: a man who believed in astrology but was also an astrologer himself, just like themembers of the Medici family in Florence and the enlightened Mughal emperors of India,whom they resembled so much, the object but also the active subject of astrology’s skills increating emperors – and also gods – at the time of the Caesars in Rome. (2)Hadrian, who “explored all branches of science”, united within himself, in an apotheosis ofthe late ancient world, two souls and two cultures, the Roman and the Greek, withoutfavouring one over the other: by praising the wise administration of the former – which alsoincluded his very unusual interest in the education of soldiers, his passion for architecture,his love of travelling – and his passion for the arts, his versatility, his scientific curiosity,which included a deep and reverent attention for the guidance of the stars. It is the union ofthe opposites – to quote Jung (3) – which produces an increase of positive energy; it is not bychance that it is under Hadrian’s rule that the long period of peace of the Antonine dynasty,the happiest period of Roman history, begins; “Under Hadrian there almost was no longertalk of war” writes Aelius Spartianus, the writer of the Historia Augusta, (4) who testifies tothe man’s and the emperor’s interest for astrology:” Emperor Hadrian’s family has itsremotest origins in the Picenum, its more recent ones in Spain … he was born in Rome onthe 24 th of January 76 A.D…. Exactly in the last years of Domitian’s rule he was sent toLower Mesia where it is said that an astrologer predicted his future imperial dignity, thusconfirming a prophecy by his paternal uncle Aelius Hadrian, a great expert in the study ofthe stars …The Emperor HadrianHe believed he was so skilled in astrologythat, on the first of January he had alreadywritten all that would happen to him duringthe year, hence in the year when he died, hehad already written all that he would do tothe last hour of his life…” Hadrian’spredecessors had already made use ofastrology: Nero with his astrologerBalbillus, whom he nominated prefect ofEgypt, and whose niece, Julia Balbilla,would accompany Hadrian to the oracle ofthe Colossus of Memnon; and Tiberius withTrasillus. It had been known for a long timein the Rome of the Caesars that astrologycould be used not only to advise butsometimes to create emperors, and also gods,187

ecause the mathematicians (5) of the Roman empire never forgot that they were thesuccessors of the ancient Caldean priests.The prestige conferred on astrology by its constant relationship with the godly stars issplendidly described in the words of Arellius Fuscus, a rhetorician of the time of Augustus:“He, to whom the gods themselves reveal the future, who also imposes the gods’ will uponkings and their people, cannot be formed within the same womb that has borne us, ignorantmen. He belongs to a superhuman kind. The confidant of the gods, he himself is divine. Ifthe affirmations of astrology are true, why is it that men of all times do not devotethemselves to their study? Why is it that from our childhood we do not fix our eyes uponnature and upon the gods, when we see that the stars unveil themselves for us, and that wecould live amongst the gods?”In Hadrian’s time an imperial horoscope was not only that of a man’s nature and of a man’sdestiny: it could even signal or create a king: Suetonius, who was an official at Hadrian’scourt wrote that a certain Vettius Pompusianus was sentenced to death by Domitian becausehe let people know that he had a horoscope which revealed an emperor. With the danger ofthese mathematicians of Greek culture who found within the make up of Caesar’s empire away to impose men of their own choice, Hadrian was not the sort of man to leave to othersthe use of such a powerful instrument of power: the latest research indicates that he used thesecrets of the geniture oroscopica precisely to back up his government decisions: amongstothers, to choose, very advisedly, his adoptive sons and heirs to the empire: the future LuciusVerus and a young boy with a pensive and sincere look, Annius Verus, the future MarcusAurelius. It appears that Hadrian used the prestige astrology gave to justify a previouschoice, which had at the time appeared bizarre and unjustified, that of the youth CeionusCommodus, called Aelius Verus, clearly unsuitable to be a ruler and who died young;perhaps he was Hadrian’s secret son.Naturally the astrology of the time took great interest in Hadrian’s horoscope: here is itsdescription, by an admiring Antigonus of Nicea, a scholar of the 2 nd century who must havebeen writing soon after the death of the great man:” There was a man born when the sunwas at the 8 degree of the Aquarius, the Moon, Jupiter and the Point of the Horoscope, thethree all together in the first degree of the same sign of Aquarius, Saturn in the 16 degree ofCapricorn, Mercury in the same sign, at the 12 degree, Venus in Pisces at 23 degrees, whilstMars was in the 22 degrees … The moon was in conjunction with a bright fixed star …. Thefact that he was honoured and received the proskynesis (6) from all men alike is becauseJupiter was in epicentric vigilance (?) on the Sun and on the Moon … And he receivedbeneficial qualities from Jupiter’s position. That he was the benefactor of many … comesfrom the fact that the epicentric Sun and the Moon were equally served by five otherplanets. Above all if the Sun and the Moon are found in the active points (or cardinal ones?)that is in the Horoscopic Point or in the Mesouranema, and they are thus served by all the188

stars (planets), they cause those who are born under such a conjunction to become kingsruling over numerous nations”.The recent discovery of a Swiss historian (7) has shown the important place astrology had inthe life of this son of Jupiter even during the last years of his life: a mysterious building atTivoli, in the villa which Hadrian had built for himself in 118 A.D., and whose purpose wasfor a long time a mystery, seems to have been the personal observatory of the emperor. It isthe so-called Teatro Marittimo, which was not a theatre because no plays were everperformed there, nor a natatio, a pool, because the water there is only a meter deep. It wasinstead the place where Hadrian, in the midst of a symbolic architecture, allusive to the fourelements and the sinuous cyclicity of time, would retire to personally read in the stars of thefuture of Rome and of the Empire.The building is a complexradiocentric structure with abarrel vault roof supported by acircular enclosure wall and 40columns, with a portico whichsurrounds a basin with acentral small island, having thesame 44 meters diameter as thePantheon. The inspira-tion forthis peculiar building is to befound in Varro’s birdhouse atCasium, in the Via Latina; inNero’s Domus Aurea with a“… circular room thatcontinuously turned on its ownaxis, just as the world does …”;in the Anticitera’s machine, anextraordinary computer thatoperated as a lunar and solarcalendar; in the Tower of theWinds in Athens, an anaphoricclock that marked the rise ofHadrian’s observatory in Villa Adriana, Tivolithe stars or the appearance ofthe signs of the zodiac on the horizon. The planetary symbols were shown inside Hadrian’scupola by a series of revolving bronze armillary spheres (the thin tilted bands which wereused by Hipparcus and the ancient astrologers to observe the skies), whilst underneath therewas the zodiac starry band; today all that remains is a small frieze underneath it with thesymbol of Capricorn, repeated many times.189

Far away, many centuries later, another extraordinary ruler, with the same nature asHadrian’s, “… who freed himself through a frenetic building activity; who sunk in a deepmelancholy to explode sometimes in a disproportionate rage, with an inexhaustible thirstfor knowledge and for understanding philosophy, but above all for satisfying the impulse totranscribe in stone his own visions and the most esoteric messages …” (8) (Petruccioli). Hebuilt a similar place to satisfy his cognitive, but also magic and ritual needs. This was Akbar,the Mughal emperor, who, in the 16 th century, in India, build in his palace in Fatehpur Sikrithe mysterious Anup Talao, “the incomparable pool” at the centre of which he would retireon a platform covered by a planetary canopy and he would meditate and also show himselfas a cosmocrator, the lord of the world, in a manner very akin – it can be surmised – to thatof Hadrian’s in his own very similar palace.Again in Rome, in the 17 th Century, another great man echoed similar concepts by creatingan architecture which was the concrete expression of a cosmic vision. This was FrancescoBorromini who had heard of the wonders of the East from his patrons at the PropagandaFide and who had certainly studied with fervent attention the ruins of Hadrian’s villa: in1644 he showed cardinal Pamphilij a project for a villa where “… from the windows of theside walls one could see many of the things in the sky which are taught by mathematicians190

with the aid of spheres. The whole building should in fact be a study of practicalmathematics…” (9)Marguerite Yourcenar makes Hadrian say “… I once offered to the constellations thesacrifice of a whole night it happened during a crossing of the Syrian desert. Lying down andwith my eyes wide open, for a few hours casting aside all human preoccupations, Iabandoned myself from dusk to dawn to that world of crystals and flames. This was themost beautiful of my journeys… I have tried to comply with the divine in many differentways… I still ignore what happens behind that dark curtain.

Multiple Personality DisorderByT Stokes, U.K.T Stokes is known worldwide as the “Consultant Palmist” & is regarded as one of thefinest palmists in the West. He has many years of combined practice and blending from anarray of diagnostic skills coupled to 10 years training in the Harry Edwards school of spiritmediumship and guidance, and accessing the wisdom of the multimedical and multispiritualarenas of the Indo/Pak subcontinental energy flow disciplines such as Hasthricka and Il-Mul-Kaff, have meant a sharpening and honing of clairvoyant skill ranges which can take asubject from pre-birth through the main events of the life, to the present day. Palms read bypost or email at palmist@fsmail.net www.t-stokes.co.ukA beautiful young girl in her early thirties turned up at the alternatives clinic withoutan appointment, and presented with some strange symptoms screaming she needed anurgent exorcism.My immediate colleague said do whatever is necessary to quieten her down and get her outof here.While I was trying to take some coherent notes, she exhibited hysterical behavior in severaldifferent voices and accents, this is called “xenoglossy” and the psychologist in me said shewas manifesting behavior patterning from some early trauma, while the psychic in me saidthis bore many of the hallmarks of genuine spirit possession.In backing off and telling her I would study her notes and call her back in a couple of days,she began flirting with me in quite a provocative manner, the sexual content here,powerfully charged with its youthful energies, made me realize that she had learnt at anearly stage how to manipulate men, and this suggested symptoms of early sexual abuse.Desperate people often form gripping relationships with their therapists in a needy mannerwith a deep sexual nucleus.The difficulty is, these people have often experienced through their lives muchAbandonment anxiety, and for a therapist to also abandon them can further enhance theirpain.They can see you as the lifeline to a drowning person, and they can cling to you in the throesof their torment, and will do literally anything to maintain that bond.With early sexual abuse similar symptoms are expressed as with studies on those torturedfrom both the Cold War and Guantanamo Bay, they create in their minds a special placewhere they go, when the awful acts are committed on them, over a period of time theseparate energies form a nucleus of their own and can in some instances become separatepersonalities, the main difficulties with exorcists is to decipher the basic crux of theproblem,Is it outside spirit intervention ? or is it internal multiple personality syndrome?192

Or is it both?The one determining factor is that these people are split apart, and getting them backtogether can be a long process, the thing they crave is love and acceptance of who they are,accepting is the easy part, and the love we offer must be paternal only.193

There is a trend just now for rejecting Freud’s basic premise of memory repression, manypractitioners now claim it is an impossibility for a childhood memory to become buried,then come to consciousness in later life with all its original clarity and focus.The mid 1990s saw particularly in the U.S.A a series of “recovered memory syndrome”scandals, where psychologists would talk patients into the belief constellations of childhoodabuse, often involving large financial payouts, these memory manipulations were labeled inmany cases, “Iatrogenic” or moulded by doctors themselves, certainly, much furtherresearch work is needed to avoid future mistakes.The inability of many women to establish or maintain a relationship, has long been one ofthe inner hallmarks of early trauma, yet the very inner fabric of women is changing, womenno longer have to mate for life, contraception, online dating, workplace equality and thedecline in anti-women feeling in religious philosophies, has meant new statistics showwomen have four distinct stages in emotional development.These four life stages, from a footloose 20 year old, to the fifty something search for atoyboy, show middle age is seen as the time of greatest freedom.These distinct life stages display the early loves, the need to settle and procreate, the years ofwork and financial struggle, then the time when children leave and real freedom beckons,allowing women to discover then who they really are.At any stage, problems may become deeply entrenched in the emotional theatre, and it isthese which we see increasingly in alternative practice.The clinic is very forward looking and we have found spiritual therapy to play an importantpart in the healing cycle, this is a controversial aspect with many professionals who have todeal with those battle damaged on the long path of life's journey.However, in this girls case, she responded well and come to terms with the childhood abuse,and in a mixture of counseling, gentle exorcism and spiritual healing, I was thrilled to hearour beautiful friend goes swimming once a week and is no longer afraid to show her body,she tells us she is studying to be an architect and comes into the clinic each Friday lunchtimeand makes us tea and biscuits.We believe in an open door policy where a welcome is an essential part of the bondingprocess of healer and the healed.Let’s look at her handprint;(1) The open life and head, is a sign that the thinking is unconnected to the life force,information is impulsively absorbed with distortions, their expectations are inaccurate andinconsistent with reality leading to various minor anxiety conditions.The head line also vears low toward the wrist with offshoots, depicting Multiple PersonalitySyndrome or depressive disorders.(2) Curved line cutting off the hypo-thenar eminence, always seen in Attention DeficitDisorders and occasionally identified as an allergy line, e.g. diet or medication.194

(3) Slightly curving Mercury finger alongside an Apollo finger thin throughout its length,depicts a traumatic latency period maternal experience, which leads to an inability to bepassionately involved in the sexual experience, and later to body dysmorphia as in anorexia,physique hypochondria or body building. This compounded with a flat Venus mount, andtightly swept in life line, showing a maternal rejection factor and life energy difficulties.The mother would probably been emotionally inarticulate or have arrested development,this coupled to low set Mercury finger deeply enhancing the abandonment anxiety withissues of trust.(4) The fate line with 3 branches to the headline, is known as the sign of "the temple" andtells that mysticism or spirituality in the mid thirties, will become a major life focus.Tibetan palmistry calls the low set bent Mercury finger, coupled to open lines of life andhead with the headline drooping, as the "Serpents Tongue" because it brings such problems.In short a difficult hand, in a hauntingly beautiful woman.195

1008 PetalsThe Mayonnaise JarContributed ByCarole McMechan, CanadaWhen things in your life seem, almost too much to handle,When 24 Hours in a day is not enough,Remember the mayonnaise jar and 2 cups of coffee.A professor stood before his philosophy classAnd had some items in front of him.When the class began, wordlessly,He picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jarand proceeded to fill it with golf balls.He then asked the students, if the jar was full.They agreed that it was.The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and pouredthem into the jar. He shook the jar lightly.The pebbles rolled into the open Areas between the golf balls.He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was.The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar.Of course, the sand filled up everything else.He asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded with a unanimous 'yes.'The professor then produced two cups of coffee from under the table and poured the entirecontents into the jar, effectivelyfilling the empty space between the sand. The students laughed.'Now,' said the professor, as the laughter subsided,'I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life.The golf balls are the important things - family,children, health, Friends, and Favorite passions –Things that if everything else was lost and only they remained, Your life would still be full.The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, house, and car.The sand is everything else --The small stuff.196

'If you put the sand into the jar first,' He continued,'there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls.The same goes for life.If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff,You will never have room for the things that are important to you.So...Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness.Play With your children.Take time to get medical checkups.Take your partner out to dinner.There will always be time to clean the house and fix the disposal.'Take care of the golf balls first --The things that really matter.Set your priorities. The rest is just sand.'One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the coffee represented.The professor smiled.'I'm glad you asked'.It just goes to show you that no matter how full your life may seem,there's always room for a couple of cups of coffee with a friend.'Please share this with other "Golf Balls"I just did......197
