Subject: Artical on Lonelyness.
Dear Tanvir,
I really appreciate your innate urge and enthusiasm to help the
mankind by utilising your God gifted power in Vedic Astrology.
It is heartening to observe young people like you coming forward
with all open mind and start studying the very depth field of
Hindu Astrology with no prejudices and inhibition. It is certain
you shall be crowned with all success for your hard and sincere
efforts.
You have made a lot good observation in your write up on
"Loneliness". But then I have got my own blocks in
understanding few of the concepts as projected by you.
>>Loneliness can it not be broadly divided in to Two
categories as One, proffered or intentional and the other forced
or compelled. If I am right, it has been your desire to stress
on the later type in your article.<<
Yes, it was focussed
on who suffer for loneliness. However, I also mentioned a
case of first category, preferred loneliness.
>>Did you not feel
that, persons with predominant Saturnine influence on the First
house and also on Third house more often than not choose to be
rather not surrounded by the people, even by the relatives. This
could be the reason owing to their inborn introvert nature. Hence
any combination which indicates introvertness can make a native to
coil himself farthering from worldly affair. The degree differs
based on several other factors. Here persons with such combination
easily gets agitated by mingling with other people. They feel more
comfort and result oriented being alone and apart.<<
I think, I have
mentioned about the planets Saturn and Ketu - both are introvert
and both tend to give loneliness. Again I have mentioned
influences on lagna, 5th house, moon etc. when 'mental loneliness'
or 'preferred loneliness' is seen.
>>As you might
have observed, most of the Sadhakas, of any kind, would have
Saturn influencing on many houses and planets. This becomes
essential for achieving their goals. The seclusion shall be what
they sought after all.<<
Correct. Any kind of
spiritual, or even material 'shadhana' is not possible without
loneliness. Even if a student studies hard for good career (shadhana)
or a scientist work hard, he will pass time alone devoting himself
in his works. Even he studies / works among others, he is kind of
'mentally lonely' since he is only paying attention to his works
and not bothering about who is with him or not talking etc...
>>You have
rightly observed that, 12th lord leads for loneliness. Then, the
nature of the 12th lord have got much to tell here. Basically
12th lord acts as seperatative influence along with afflicted Sun,
Mars and Rahu. Excess effects of these elements results in
negation of beneficial results that could have accrued from the
subjected house matters. Say, if anybody has got in their 4th
house Rahu posited in signs identical to Aries, Capricorn,
Leo........, along with 12th lord and this combination receives
aspect from afflicted Mars or/and Sun that might indicate that native
would be without the much desired company of his family and
relative. He shall be enjoying all but mental peace. Additionally
if any Significators stands afflicted and weak, then that
concerned relation would not exist in his life. This is isolation
in part. How ever depending on the other house strength he could
be among living persons.<<
Yes, again I think
3rd lord has something here, as it opposes family.
>>It is stated by
you that, 3rd lord shall also lead for forced loneliness. Here I
could not make any reconciliation. The house third among other
things also represents communications and immediate surroundings.
The natural zodiac has got Mercury ruling over here, who is
significator for Communication as well. Unless mercury is weak and
third house is afflicted with its lord, how one would be forced
for seclusion....? The third being 12th from 4th can take native
away from the home but not necessarily from all people.<<
It has been taught
by the Gurus (Which I agree 100%) That Merc (communicaton) is the
secondary significations of 3rd house. The primary is Mars
(courage, younger siblings). So you see Mars comes here and you
already know and admit about Mars :-) One Guru who read my article
confirmed it that yes the houses 3, 8 , 12 are correct. Also from
my observations I see that 3rd house has a role here, very good
role indeed.
>>You are
informing that, you came out of the feeling of loneliness soon
after commencement of Rahu bhukti in Mercury dasa. Here what you
can observe is Rahu representing Mercury. Rahu is exalted and
shall not give you much suffering being representative of
karmasthana.<<
The main reason for
Rahu being against of loneliness is it star-disposits Saturn. From
my part I am 100% sure about it. But surely more knowledgeable and
experienced might have other views :-)
>>You have also
asserted that, ........Planets in houses 3,
8, 12 are also responsible for loneliness same
way..........<<
I did not actually
mean that any planet in those houses will cause loneliness for
sure. But as more planet are present there, the more loneliness it
gives - this is a part of the overall image of the chart. Because
more planets in a house activates the house. (Coming about Jupiter
later.)
>>But you have
also disclosed that, during Jupiter antara, transpiring of events
were much to the satisfactory level. You have got Jupiter placed
in the 3rd house. It is lord of 7th house. Naturally that should
provide more avenues for interaction with outer world. The Jupiter
being stationed in the third house shall not hamper, compelling
you to be alone. Then naturally you would ask why Mars Bhukti
pushed you to the closed walls. The Mars is 3rd and also 8th lord
and it is aspecting 8th and 12th houses. By nature it is
seperatative and that lead for your period of loneliness. How ever
not to under rate transits of the period for which we are trying
to look back and analyse. It is paramount important to reckon the
at least Dasa and Bhukti planets transits over nature of signs,
houses and kakshyas for ascertaining nature of events.<<
Jupiter is a natural
benefic and actually the most benefic planet I would like to say.
Though it is a malefic for my asc, I would like to say that it is
not a 'strong' malefic here. Parasara suggests taking 3, 6, 11 as
malefics in general. While Jupiter becomes malefic for 'Kendradhipati
Dosha'. Esp when it rules two kendras also including the 7th. 'Dosha'
means a fault. In this matter I would say that Jupiter is not a
strong malefic here, and in my chart it is placed in 3rd, which is
again a good house for FMs. (Functional Malefics.) Most of all,
Jupiter is natural benefic and even more, it is well placed in
great friends sign with exchanging aspect with the sign lord. Mars
is also a great friend of Jupiter, and in this case I would not
consider Mars' aspect to be a very bad affliction. I would suggest
that here Mars aspect can not weaken Jupiter that much, rather
Jupiter's aspect weakens Mars' maleficness a lot. I remember, the
major companion of me in home in loneliness of Mars bhutki were
the driver of our car and our cook. I take 3rd house for
servants, and 3rd lord exalted in 5th would give something
positive about servants in it's bhukti. Again Jupiter's sattvic
aspect on bhukti lord from 3rd house helps lessen the loneliness
to some degree with the help of servants.
