We often
hear, write, even decorate our ‘status’ over social networking sites with
famous quotes, but real understanding comes only when we actually pass
through any event pertaining to it, that too with a receptive consciousness.
Change is one such a thing, which is simple to talk about, but hard to live by
and comprehend.
Mind have
a tendency to cling to situations, things and person which make any change
appear like a monster. But irrespective of our fears and frog in a well
mentality, changes do occur, sometimes by the powerful gust of destiny, proving
the theory of fate, and sometimes by our sheer hard work and unwavering Intent,
justifying the existence of free will too.
Looking
from the perspective of planetary indications, change can be judged with
extreme accuracy seeing the natal chart and Dasha patterns along with transits.
The
junction between the ending of one major time period and staring of a new one
signifies beginning of a new phase in one’s life. Then there are minor changes,
which we are more used to, these are actually the sub periods of different
planetary forces, called as Antar Dashas.Further finer breakdown give us the
pattern which last typically for few months, and is known as Pratyantar dasha
in Vedic astrology.
Change
of a Dasha from functional malefic (difficult planet for a chart) to functional benefic
(good planet for a chart) generally presents the change one aspiring for, these
are the times when change do feel like a cool breeze and life gets a makeover.
The opposite i.e dasha change from benefic to malefic are the times when our
greatest fears come to the fore. Such periods are often challenging and
generally hide some Karmic debt within their sleeves.
Events
which make their impact for a very shorter duration are generally ‘Sookhsma
Dasha’ periods. Example can be a sudden century from an ‘out of form’ cricketer
under the favourable sookshma dasha planetary influence. There are further
shorter versions of dashas, but their true impact becomes more applicable in
Spiritual rather than our regular mundane world.
Not
to forget the transitory influences of Saturn and Jupiter. Saturn is a mighty
being who generally gives long term patterns of 2.5-3 years in a go, while the
blessing Guru Jupiter has a shorter version of around 1 year ,both very strong
in nature. Movement of other planets do have impact on our psyche and day to
day events, but duration and impact generally is quite less .For example, the
transit of Mars and its relationship with Moon has precise control over menses
occurring in females.
Whatever
be the nature of change and it’s behind the scene cause, comprehending any
event, especially the ones tough to deal with, generally bring change in our
fundamentals about the life itself.
The day we start appreciating the cause
behind any event, transformation occurs, and everything seems to be in line for
our growth and evolution.
