Indeed you are correct. But that is, IMHO, the great strength of jyotish. The language of jyotish is one of symbolism and as such it is highly accurate for describing trends in an individual's life experience. The planets are archetypes and represent different aspects of the individual's life...mercury is the intellect, moon the emotions, etc. By looking at the birth chart, you can have a good idea of what the person's life experience is in general. By contrasting that with the position of the planets in the sky at any given time, you can see what is happening in their life. I often explain jyotish as being like predicting the weather. Good weather is coming...plan a picnic. You can tell what sort of activities are going to be supported by the trend of events. Then the person has the strength of that knowledge without feeling that everything is predestined. The loss of free will or innocense that results from highly specific predictions is, in my opinion, unfortunate. While it is possible to make very specific predictions, I question their value. Not to mention the damage that it does to a person's emotional health when something bad is predicted inaccurately. On a larger scale, predicting the fate of nations is very very difficult and probably more of an intellectual curiosity than anything else. But one can make a broad statement that with the connection of 3 highly malefic planets (Mars/Saturn/Ketu) a certain amount of poo will be hitting the fan. And this situation will persist in one variation or another for the next 18 months, so you can be pretty confident that these symbols will play themselves out in one form or another. Terrorist events, natural disasters, and general troubles will be prevalent, particularly after Jupiter changes signs this fall. > > --- feste37 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > Choudhry is wrong on most things, last time I > > checked.
