Astrology – Dancing light of grace

Non Fiction!

1. Are these extraordinary times? I ask myself. I can support the positive or the negative responses to this question as easily as I want to. What do I want–is the next question I ask myself and how is it related to my needs is the third.

2. USA which mostly follows Christianity has 15 times more weapons than the country which is its biggest rival. Christianity, Jainism and Buddhism are based on the foundation of self sacrifice and tolerance. You don’t find religions having a upper hand in dictating human life. Ideally it should have been so but the coded law– religious or otherwise and its interpretation is not always in keeping with the logos.

3. Nepal has sealed its borders with India. Tensions between India and its neighbours are increasing. Where are the pacifists? What happened to Gandhi, Buddha, Mahavira and Christ?

4. I was reading “The Naval Treaty;” a story by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. He uses an expression for Sherlock Holmes: that his face used to look like a red Indian when he was meditating. I elaborated the point for my student. Sophistication. Why some tribes in the Andmaan island region of India haven’t allowed aliens inside their territory. Physiognomy. Etcetera.

5. There is no talk about Euthanasia. India and USA are two of the biggest democratic countries and they spend major portions of their annual budgets on national security. What happened to the dream of golden civilization shown to us by religions. They are gone after having tried to fulfill their dreams. I never thought I would see so many unforeseen events in the last two years: especially when I was waiting to leave the world.

6. The weather has been pleasant and it would be good to return to reading the constitution of India. My work in library is advancing at a snail”s pace. That double quote mark after the word snail should have been a single mark: this keypad inhibits me and slows me down.

7. I am sure: this is the best of my stations. I still don’t know how to leave this body. I am content. I am responsible for the decisions I took.

8. Sun is in the sign Gemini. Rahu still holds the office as Jaiminee Atmakaraka. Venus has regained its directional movement in the sign of Taurus.

Enter The Dragon!

1. Sun, Moon and its North node conjoined in the fourth quarter of Orion–Mrigshira to make this occultation possible. Six retrograde planets along with Naaga Karana, Ganda Yoga and international Yoga Day. Ganda means garland.

2. World Music Day. Father’s day. I don’t know how many times mother’s and father’s day is celebrated every year.

3. It’s quiet here. I had a conversation with a retired teacher in his seventies.

4. Birds are chirping around me. Vehicles passing nearby. Sun is playing hide and seek in the clouds.

5. I need to take a class after a while. The stadium was closed again. The local admins seem to be acting on whim. Extraordinary times. Prime Minister Modi didn’t even utter a single word criticizing the violence in the JNU campus earlier this year. How can he use ideals of Gandhi while talking about “cleanliness is godliness?”

6. The owner of the mobile company running this country from behind the screens openly tweeted against a celebrity. Was it genuine? I don’t know. But he could have told his employee silently about firing him. Why use rhetoric and create ado?

7. I am not popular. That’s the only reason I am able to write for now. I was beaten by the police on April 11 for seemingly nonsense reasons.

8. Stadium might be open or close. Nobody would talk about Euthanasia. Draconian rule was the “golden age promised in the twenty first century.”

Either Begging or This!

1.I had a walk inside the stadium. It was after the yoga inside Gandhi Smarak Bhavan. It was open for walk after a long time. Some people were playing cricket inside. I think they were policewale.

2. I observed a bunch of bricks outside my house. They’re planning on construction upstairs. It clearly means noise. Then maybe tenants. Why not. They have money to pay for the bricks but if I ask-mummy would land in Egypt, Cairo. She would say – it’s borrowed. If I wait to recount the number of times they have gone back on their words in the last 8 years or even in the last 8 months- it will be an altercation. What can I do. If I really try to leave…They will use their contacts and police to ensure that much ado is created about nothing. Hence I choose to keep mum and vent here. If my siblings had not made false promises 6 months ago. If my father wasn’t an inveterate liar. If that cat hadn’t made this phone fall; resulting in cracking of an already cracked screen and spoiling of the keypad…. would I have been less wiser?

3. I had a walk to the lake. I observed clouds. Bats and chatted with you. I enjoyed listening to bats who were flying and banging upside down on Ashvath tree. I took some pictures.

5. I got to port the SIM card to idea. I walked back listening to music and saving myself from traffic. I filled the bike tank with petrol worth fifty rupees. I need it every four days or maybe six. It’s costly for someone who earns as little as I do with no previous savings left in hand( my greedy parents and siblings.) I would have bought a bicycle if I could afford. That about sums my day today. Another Saturday. Tomorrow is another occultation. Syzgy. Equinox. Solstice.

Six retrograde planets!

1. In sidereal zodiac, transit of planets with respect to moon indicates current trends. Intriguing combination of 6 retro grid planets includes North and South nodes of moon which are considered to be always retrograde.

2. Not much is known about the behaviour of retrograde planets. It is actually the appearance of a planet which is passing through some unique point with respect to observers on Earth. I clearly remember that as I was beginning to delve into the vedic astrology in the year 2009 when I was about to join the firm in which I worked for the next 3 years; the planet Mars was retrograde in the eighth house of cancer. Usually it takes one month two to transit through any sign but due to the retrograde motion it took an exceptional 8 months full stop it was revelation and learning for me.

3. The website Vaidik scholar.com was in its Inception in those days. And I used to frequently visit it to check the transit charts. Now it charges and the process is also difficult. With the passage of time the same services get costlier. This seems to be the only direction our society heads.

4. Trees are dancing in the breeze right now. I practiced breathing to get rid of toxins. International yoga day will be celebrated with the summer solstice or is it Equinox ? I would have to check.

5. Some experts say that the malefics start behaving like benefics and vice versa in case of retrograde planets.

6. Whatever happens might be an interesting study for all the astrology students. Do the planets show regressive thinking in the populace at large ? it remains to be seen.

7. I went to play cricket with my friends to a large ground yesterday in the evening. It seemed to be a luxury. It was very ordinary some 25 years ago. in the last 10 to 15 years urbanisation has happened at a rapid speed in my town. Stadium is still closed and reserved only for the police force. I do not understand. Maybe I would after awhile.

As soon as I stood up Brahmini

A dangerous creature lizard

Shaded back into its hole.

Deciduous mango tree says nothing

And yet the words of the wandering Mr armadillo

Keep reverberating in my ears

O heedless play game

O heatless pilgrim

O heedless pilgrim!

Oh wandering wonder

O wandering wonderer

Oh wondering wanderer!

Rhymes in mortal

Oh immortal Ramses!

Be wary of the poisonous Devil!

The morning rituals!

My class finished just a while ago. The environment is brimming with insects. It feels a bit humid right now . Some Birds along with peacock can be heard from here. The sky is foggy but not neptunian aur dreamlike. This biosphere where organic farming is a routine practice seems to be the most conducive place for writing in the last few months. my student is going to part soon but he has paid me in full. And since I was in the dire need of money therefore I feel grateful to my patron. I realise when he said that I should walk instead of using the bike which consumes oil he did not take into consideration my plight. I was not using motor vehicle for about two years in which I had many long walks around the city.

My conversation is interrupted by someone who is busy conversing with my student. She was also a former student but she remembers nothing at all which I taught her. I asked her about my lessons to get the feedback regarding my tuitions and her straight answer was that nothing of your teaching remains in my memory.

Crickets are chirping. Buses are passing by and I am still looking for an idea to elaborate upon the news is kind of repetitive nonsense balderdash these days. I intend to work in the library since my student is still attending the marriage ceremony and I have some free time in the morning.

I tell them that I missed yesterday evening prayers. I asked for forgiveness of my host student for leaving without having watched the dish in which I had poha as we were playing Ludo board game. I got second rank until I was there.

I was again discussing legacies. It has always been beyond my understanding that legacies matter for humans striving towards perfection. Maybe in some subtle form but not in your day to day life. The usual experiences tell us that the appreciation we get for our good deeds help continue services in areas of importance. How does it matter if people appreciate our good deeds once we are gone. Maybe the idea that you are working for something which would continue to provide comfort 2 those future generations once you are gone helps you work more earnestly.

The Birthday of Saturn!

1. Shani or Saturn was born as a progeny to Chhaya or Shadow when Sun, his father misconstrued her to be his wife, who, unable to bear his Taijas left to do penance. As to why she left a shadow behind remains a mystery. After coming to realise that he has given birth to Saturn out of the wedlock the Sun cursed the Shadow. Her son was unhappy with his father due to that.

6. Atmakaraka Mercury is in its friend’s sign and in Leo navamsa. Saturn is a hard Taskmaster who is happy if you perform your duties well.

South East Thunderstorm!

1. The thunderstorm in the South East created a soothing breeze after a day of scorching heat.

2. The Sagittarius ascends. Retrograde Saturn and Venus along with Mercury and retrograde Jupiter and Sun aspect watery and airy signs of Scorpio and Libra. Though these planets are in Earth signs their retrograde aspects are creating fire in air and water in the South East.

3. I had a nice discussion on Jyotish and childhood memories over the evening walk.

Scab abysmal small vow can cow say wow?

It was etymological delight to discover that Scab had two meanings which related in a creative way. I was the link, soot, or sutra or sutra tma.

I refer to the Merriam Webster dictionary online: Scab

Entry : 2 and 3.b.2.3.4.

A crust on a wound which is nature’s way of healing. As well as a union worker who returns to work before the strike is over. I’d like to sell it for the likes of me like this:

A wound is the viewpoint: nature or Karma cafe being prime, like the government number one being the cause of scarcity management in the demand and supply chain or the nature in its harsh form or the calamity times: strike takes double meaning: one from the nature on body and the other on the livelihood. The scab being the protective sheath becomes the strike breaker.

I don’t recall on which of my previous blogs I wrote about this and when but whenever– it did seem like a big achievement to find a novel association in English dictionary.

Can more than two swords be kept in a scabbard? The Hindi saying says:no. How about two daggers? Or three…or more?

If I thank James Harbeck’s blog after every post for inspiration: I would be called a loyal dog at best. And a thief otherwise.

A cow died. Overdosing on plastic bags. Politicians promise to ban it. It has been a long time. Cow is an utilitarian device in the name of religious education. Nobody cares for a stray cow.

Happy Mother’s Day!

Siddha Yoga. Moon in Moola quarter first. Mothers may be angels. Angels may be mothers and fathers, friends, strangers and sisters. Ultimate mother is Moon and your Self.

Here is a picture with credit to Dainik Bhaskar, the daily Hindi newspaper we purchase. The image is of a painting by Picasso. If I am violating any copyright laws: please let me know, either in the comments or via email. Thanks.

The Hindi underline reads: Picasso painted it in the year 1902. His mother had such confidence about his abilities that she said he would be the greatest no matter what he did. She expected him to become a general or a pope by choosing either army or sainthood and he chose painting to become the Picasso.

As an aside: his birth chart had 6 debilitated planets. Unique so far.

Here is a picture of the Sun Sunday from my roof:

Indian economy is taking a dip. Accidents and suicides along with firing incidents are on rise in my town. Mercury has changed Rashi and entered into the fixed Earth sign Taurus.

Dogs and Clouds!

1. The waning Moon is the object of the barking dog. Wind is soothing and I wonder if I should call it breeze. As I walk it sussurates into my right ear.

2. The block system of WordPress app indicates that they consider the work to be an architectural design.

3. The Anuradha Moon has its head slightly tilted to the right. Mosquitoes want me to listen to their song in exchange for a few drops of blood, which isn’t too costly as all neighborhood seems to be asleep. In my childhood I used to wonder if mosquitoes existed in the times of Rama or Narada. Scriptures do tell about them.

4. Heavy vehicles keep passing. Singular larkspur landing. Dingdong singsongs of Singapore porous porcelain ain’t so cute more morel more losel selling lingas gastric tricks Asterix Chicago Goa goatee teetotalers Erny.

5. Within a few minutes I observe clouds near Big Dipper:

6. Now the Southern dog is resting and Eastern is speaking to North Eastern. The haze is topos. A crane speaks briefly flying about sixty nine degrees before going mum. Mummers and miss summers have gone into the mercurial victory palace and lace ruffle ace the case as I hear crickets chirping.

7. They keep asking me: what am I about? What do I write about?

8. The cloud farming gives no returns.

9. Neither does the cloud computing. Tingling lingas mingling jingling blingbotsslingshotspotsupshots. I need to use smartphone cache to keep some aches at bay time to time.

10. Reading newspaper to Grandma was necessary to keep their demons at bay. By the end she started dozing off.

11. I recall lyrics of a Hindi song which sayeth: my friend Mumbaikar is visiting me: salutations to him. Let’s eat and drink in the night and rest during the day. In GK booklets I used to read that there were no mosquitoes in France. I hear sirens. I also read that there newspaper was printed on paper.

12. Now dogs in the South East are in a melee. A truck passes by on highway. I can hear sounds in 2 kilometres range now. Crickets chirping. Ft t s.
