“I have been going through very bad time for the last 2 years. Many astrologers had predicted that my turn around time is 28th year. Instead, things have gone from bad to worst. My business is stuck. I was in relationship with a girl for some time, and was about to marry her, when her parents whisked her away at the last minute. My elder brother as well as my mother think that being a junior member in the family, I should blindly submit to their commands even in my business matters. My mother even declared that she won’t live with me anymore. Future looks gloomy. Why me? How did the astrologers get my future wrong? Is there hope for me? Also, suggest some puja to get over my suffering,” asked a distraught young man.
‘Why me?’ is a wrong question. Businesses do not always move on expected lines. They carry equal probability of going through lows and highs, and so it happens more often. It is not always individualistic destiny indication that accounts for failure. Sometimes environmental condition throws unforeseen challenges before all and sundry, as in case of the ongoing pandemic, when economic activities came to a grounding halt all across the globe. Evidently, it had to adversely affect individual business also. You have been more a victim of circumstances than your individual destiny indication. The one who survives during difficult times, is the one who would flourish later. Take my word, future is bright. You have to face the present with patience and prudence. Instead of complaining, grudging and grumbling, think over with a cool mind, and work out ways and means to face the present in stride. Rest assured, post December 2021, things may begin to turn better.
In astrological analysis, three factors — Desha (overall environmental condition), Kala (individualistic destiny indicators) and Patra (personality traits) — need to be taken into account. Often, half-knowing astrologers ignore the environmental conditions and personality traits and bank upon destiny indications alone. What they forget that destiny indications are subject to the two other factors. Environmental conditions badly affects the overall market situation. And if there is no market, even individual business would suffer. Also, one’s inherent habit tendencies often make you work insensibly and evidently to your detriment. Those astrologers would have thought that transit Saturn’s return on its natal position would bring advantage, as it usually happens. But they overlooked that Sun is conjunct Saturn, so the latter’s transit on its natal position proved more a detriment than advantage. About your failure in love relationship, kindly note that things happen when naturally promised in the chart. Saturn conjunct Sun in the lagna clearly indicated that marriage was not due before you are 32. Since you tried marrying much before, is why your love life failed.
About your domestic relationship, you need to first look within, identify your own weaknesses before putting the blame on others, as has been your tendency. Acknowledge your own fault-lines and address them. That will prove to be the real puja. That alone may help improve your relationship with family members. The problem is within your mind — your habits and attitude. No pundit can invade your mind-space through belief driven puja to make due corrections. Take charge of yourself and improve your conduct. “I appreciate your advisory and also follow them in all sincerity. But will you explain the astrological pointers to my weaknesses, as I have a fair understanding of the subject?” the young man quipped.
The Sun marked with your identity is conjunct its planet of nemesis Saturn. That makes you self-pitying, grumbling, and grudging. You will be suspicious of all others. It also brings in an inherent sense of fear and insecurity, which given an adverse situation comes into full play. Also, things won’t necessarily work to your asking. You will come up in life a hard way. But eventually, you will earn prominence as luminary Moon shines over your head (10th house). But Moon tenanted in an airy sign Libra, ill-disposed off to erratic Rahu, speaks of unpredictable mood swings. Mars conjunct Uranus and Neptune makes you temperamental. Consequently, in the heat of moment, you may lose all sense of reasons and order, often offending the elders. The result is there to see. Should you work upon your inherent shortcomings, your life may turn into a pleasant experience sooner than later.
