Re: [FairfieldLife] RE: 2014 Predictions
John, it sounds like a fascinating sub system of jyotish if a bit complicated. And I admit I've never thought of my car in the context of fame. Maybe to do so is a guy thing (-: On Monday, January 6, 2014 2:17 PM, jr_...@yahoo.com jr_...@yahoo.com wrote: Share, According to Kalidasa, the Chariot chakra is determined this way: Reckon from the Sun's (current) nakshatra till the natal (Moon) nakshatra of the native.

Re: [FairfieldLife] RE: 2014 Predictions
Share, I also used another chakra called the Bow and Arrow, to initiate a real estate administrative transaction. In the end, the transaction was completed very cheaply, smoothly and efficiently. So, by personal experience, I can vouch for its validity.
Re: [FairfieldLife] RE: 2014 Predictions
John, I just received 2014 predictions from Prasannan, a jyotishi in Vancouver. He says there are both good and bad conjunctions this year. He specifically mentions that both Saturn and Jupiter are exalted for some of the year and that only happens once every 60 years. Also that on May 1 Sun, Moon and Venus will all be exalted. Probably a good day to begin just about anything wonderful!

Re: [FairfieldLife] RE: 2014 Predictions
Share, It's good to know the good and bad times for the year. During the bad times, one can postpone any important decisions or activities to avoid mistakes or disasters. Aside from mundane predictions, there are also the various chakras, that Kalidasa mentioned in his book, Uttara Kalamrita, which can be used for various purposes. For example, I used the Chariot chakra to purchase a new car in 2007. To date, the car has been excellent and has been trouble free.
Re: [FairfieldLife] RE: 2014 Predictions
John, I've not heard of the chakras being used in this context. Can you say more or point me to a website? Thank you.

[FairfieldLife] RE: 2014 Predictions
Bhairitu, I didn't attend that ayurveda class. But as I recall that conference might have been the last ACVA conference in the Seattle metropolitan area. After that, I didn't attend any more conferences by ACVA because they started holding them in Sedona, AZ and in Hawaii. They became too expensive for me. When I came back to California in 2004, I started attending the conferences held by Sanjay Rath and his group. Although a little different from KN Rao's methods, I enjoyed those classes he presented as well, But, for some reason or the other, Rath had a fallout with his group in California and his conferences were no longer held. If I can find another jyotish conference here in California, I'll attend it to keep up with the recent developments in jyotish analysis and concepts. If you know of one, please let me know.

Re: [FairfieldLife] RE: 2014 Predictions
It's called logical outcome though sometimes it defies logic. An example is that we know the propping up of the financial institutions in 2008 was just a short term fix and didn't really address the real problem. What should have been done is just let them fail. The public would have been hurt a lot less than they would be now and many of the greedy rich would have been put out of business.

[FairfieldLife] RE: 2014 Predictions
Seek, If you know a little bit of jyotish, you can understand some of her reasoning for making such predictions. So, it would appear that Congress will have another battle to increase the debt limit in February of this year. I would hope that the Tea Party members have learned a lesson from the last standoff in October. From the looks of it, Senator Cruz of Texas still has an ax to grind for the rest of his party and the Democrats. As we're seeing a preview of the situation in the Middle East already, it would appear that a civil war may flare up in Iraq and Egypt. Also, North Korean dictator may make another threat of war against the US and its allies. But, not to worry, as Jupiter will eventually enter Cancer, it's exaltation sign, and should bring a resolution to the conflicts for the rest of the year. It's also a good indicator that the US forces in Afghanistan will get out of that war-torn country, in spite of Karzai's grand standing at the present time.
Re: [FairfieldLife] RE: 2014 Predictions
Share, IMO, in the past farmers used to look at the animals' furs to determine how the winter temperature would be like. So, before the start of this winter, the animals in your region of the country may have had a very thick growth of hair in preparation for this winter. :) But, in this modern times, there are weather data from NOAA and other government agencies which can be used for weather predictions through complicated mathematical simulations. If they ever invent the quantum computer, weather prediction should become an exact science.
Re: [FairfieldLife] RE: 2014 Predictions
John, that makes sense. Whenever the squirrels look especially plump in autumn, I figure we're in for a very cold winter. But I wonder how they compensate when the temps are wildly fluctuating, as they have been this winter. Yesterday I actually went outside without gloves! If I did this today, I'd probably lose some digits!

[FairfieldLife] RE: 2014 Predictions
Bhairitu, It appears that Joni Patry was originally a western astrologer who learned jyotish later. So, now she is integrating her western astrology knowledge with jyotish analysis. There are a few American astrologers who are doing this type of work, such as David Frawley, Dennis Harness, Brendan Feeley and Dennis Flaherty. However, one does get some very interesting insights using western astrology as taught by Santos Bonacci in his videos called, Prisca Theologia. In particular, his points relating to syncretism is very a propo in understanding the western culture, history and the Judeo-Christian religions. Having said that, yes, you're correct in saying that Pluto is no longer considered a planet. But a tradition has been established in western astrology to determine its meaning and signification in context with astrological analysis. Nonetheless, I personally don't use it as you can get the same results using the 9 grahas recognized in jyotish.
[FairfieldLife] RE: 2014 Predictions
Carde, That's correct. But there are also several shadowy grahas, such as Mandi and the Upagrahas, which are discussed by Mantreshwar in his classic book, Phala Deepika.
[FairfieldLife] RE: 2014 Predictions
Bhairitu, What we're seeing in the economic and political fronts is the power of human consciousness in its attempt to solve the problems in the world today. For example, the US Federal Reserve officials attempted to use the available resources and financial tools to stabilize the US and world economy. So far, they've managed to improve the economy through its Quantitative Easing (QE) program by buying US bonds in the world market. I originally thought that this would eventually lead to high inflation. But so far it hasn't. The next hurdle will be this coming February when the US will again reach its debt limit. The politicians will again have to debate whether to raise the debt limit or not. It's obvious to me that the debt limit must be raised. But Senator Cruz and his Tea Party members may have other ideas which can disrupt the government operations and the eventual collapse of the stock market. On a positive note, since Jupiter will eventually enter its exaltation sign in Cancer this summer, the collective world consciousness should change for the better which should alleviate the tensions that we're experiencing now. At least, that's the positive forecast that we can see using jyotish analysis.
Re: [FairfieldLife] RE: 2014 Predictions
John, astrology has it's basis on the visual planets and the nodes. Western astrology started adding the newly discovered planets and making things up about them. The visual planets and nodes had already centuries of observation. You can't see Uranus and Neptune with the naked eye so they're just making things up about them. Same for Pluto. It's like western astrologers were having problems with their charts working out because they don't take in account the precession of the equinox as jyotish does so they adopted these outer planets. The lunar nodes were observed as points where eclipses take place. They are a scientific part of astronomy. They have been personified as Rahu and Ketu to make them easier to understand for simple people. As I've mentioned here before one of the astrologers from India once pointed out that most Indian astrologers who make good predictions use very simple techniques. I also pointed out how many westerners trying to do Jyotish glum onto the icing instead of the cake and make lame predictions. It may well be just as primitive tribes counted moons the evolution of jyotish may well have been tracking cycles via the other planets. These cycles may have nothing to do at all with the planets themselves other than they occur near repeating positions of these planets. So they were used as markers to see if the same kind of events would reoccur. I met some of these western astrologers at a joint jyotish and western astrology conference in Lynnwood, Washington in 1996. The jyotish practitioners were mostly humble and spiritual and the western ones were about their image and like Amway salespeople.

Re: [FairfieldLife] RE: 2014 Predictions
Bhairitu, I attended that conference back in 1996. As I remember, KN Rao was there who started the conference with a puja. But he didn't make any lecture presentation. Also, David Frawley was there and I chatted with him about TM and Chopra's new meditation mantras. He said that Chopra consulted with him in designing the mantras that was going to be used for his new movement. Then, I attended Chakrapani Ullal's class in the conference. If you were in that class, we may have crossed paths and didn't even know about it.
Re: [FairfieldLife] RE: 2014 Predictions
That was a very small conference. I hung out a bit with Hart DeFouw because he wasn't into ACVA's new interest in sports because Rao had criticized western jyotishis for their disinterest in it. So they were following the baseball playoffs (yawn). David did my chart in the ayurveda/jyotish session he did. Did you attend that? I miss those conferences but ACVA became too focused on legitimizing jyotish with their certifications and trying to set up colleges. They they started having symposiums in places like Hawaii which were beyond my budget. And the symposiums became more focused on beginners so there was little there for the old timers. The early symposiums were really fun (like the ones in San Rafael and even San Diego). On 01/05/2014 01:07 PM, jr_...@yahoo.com wrote: Bhairitu, I attended that conference back in 1996.
