T - Saptarishis Astrology

5 th5 th from the 4 th house of Learning is the 8 th house of occult and longevity/survival. You can survive asan astrologer in this world only if you have good learning; the gain of occultness of the 8H is a result ofthe previous merits of the 4 th house of Learning, since the 5 th means previous births merits (poorvapoonya) & 8 th is the Storehouse of Previous Merits (Poorva Janma Raj Kosh). The natural sign of the8H is Scorpion: if your merits are not good the science will bite you and that is the reason elders in Indiado not encourage a householder to practice astrology as without knowing the roads (tradition) of the 8Hof scorpion you can get sting badly & end up in poverty or misery. From the 8 th house the 4 th house oflearning is in the 9 th (fruits) from it, which means Previous good merits in matters of Learning orKnowledge gives fruits of good learning of astrology in this life. This is the hidden logic behind whyelders say 8H is the house of occult/astrology. So if we cheat people of knowledge, books or manuscriptsor hiding it (8H is house of hidden) you will suffer in next life when it comes to your astrologicalknowledge and other areas too, but here our discussion is on learning astrology and astrologers, notother areas of life. The 5 th shows ones attitude so the attitude by which you do your studies (4H) isgoverned by the 8H and the fruits therein of ‘Continuous Flow of the Learning Cycle’.The 8H is the house of darkness and solitude and you need to be the Apprentice of the Masterbut in solitude that’s the key as it is 8H. Now if your Master has many students you won’t get thesolitude (ekant) to do your studies. Often we think that books are our best gurus since we are alone(8H) with our books. Why didn’t our sages have 10,000 students under them? Why did Jesus not havemore than 12 disciples? Was their knowledge not superior to attract many? Because they knew thatenergy could be transferred to very few, unlike today’s Gurus who are in the business of wanting moreand more students? Their true worth is seen by the number of students a guru has.6 th6 th from the 4H of Learning is the house of 9 th house of Teacher, Righteous actions (Dharma), Wisdom,God’s blessings & Fruits of One’s Life. Now 6 th means service/efforts/hard work/obstacles/gratitude,in order to get wisdom to become a Guru one needs to do extreme hard work and serve (6 th ) ones Guru.It is a fiery sign (Sagi) and your teacher at times gets angry with you but if our ego is so much that ithurts us, then we do not get the Guru ‐ period. But is there a true guru today, one can spend lifetimes ina city or forum and you won’t find one. 9 th house is the house of Sagittarius in the Natural Zodiacwhose lord is Jupiter the natural teacher. 9H is the house of Gods too so when we don’t get a guru wemake God our Guru, and its far better than today’s Guru who accords you titles of Guruism dependingon how much you served (6 th ) them with praise or money. What should be the relationship towards ourGod (or guru) & our learning, well as it is 6 th from 4H and 6 th shows serving, faith and bowing down,that’s what it should be as when you have full faith only then you, bow to someone or to God.When we bow down in full faith to our Gods or Guru or Master, we gets in return the OccultKnowledge (as the 4 th house is 8 th from 9 th) , so in order to learn anything from anyone whether it be acolleague or book or magazine we must show humility (6 th ) and be ready to learn, but if we show 9 thhouse trait of already being a Guru, what will we learn? The energy will go into the 12H of loss (9 thenergy of Guruism from 4 th is the 12H). There is a negative side to the 6 th as it shows selfishness. And sowhen we take this selfish attitude of the 6 th from the 4 th house towards our guru (9H) then true love,true knowledge does not come to self (1H as it is 5 th from 9 th ) but when we convert this selfishness intohonest gratitude we get the real knowledge (9H). Here unfortunate is the Guru (9H) who is born withmany sins of previous life to get a selfish student, for e.g. Internet Paramparas (tradition) have manygurus who are most hated by their students and Gurus are aware of this, even the student knows theguru is aware of their hatred but all of them butters their gurus alas true knowledge has not come outfrom the gurus as a result not a single of the Paramparas can predict to save their life. We must pitysuch students and such Gurus who, in spite of knowing the game they are playing with each other, areso dependent on each other for surviving today in the ‘Age of Fame Astrology’. The 9H is the house ofprosperity and is governed by the deity Laxmi, Goddess of Wealth, when we serve our Guru we geteverlasting wealth his true love which is unconditional, is not unconditional love the greatest wealth ofall since time immemorial.6 th from any house is the house of jealous, as enemies are jealous of us or vice versa and we can’tspeak good about our enemies or vice versa. 6 th from the 4 th house ones knowledge is the 9H which is14
