Learning to live with afflicted planets: A Holistic approach towards remedial measures -1



 Rarely do we find men who willingly engage in hard, solid thinking. There is an almost universal quest for easy answers and half-baked solutions. Nothing pains some people more than having to think said Martin Luther King, Jr. These words find relevance in context of human quest to look for readymade and some magical solutions to even most difficult problems in life. In context of astrological counseling, one often look for remedies to cure the bad planetary configuration or time period. Although there are genuine remedies present which do help to dilute the Karma to some extent and give us courage to face the troubling times, in contemporary times obstacles and distractions are many to sincerely pursue any of it.

First is the lack of time which we all complain about, second and more important is lack of desire to indulge in any kind of ritual which aim to cleanse our own illusions and third and perhaps most important is inability to understand the meaning of particular remedy, like Mantra or  Stotra and unconscious unwillingness to surrender to someone ‘sitting above and ruling us’. Even if one gathers all courage and faith to sincerely follow the prescribed remedies ,often messages from planets remain unheard .Lets have a look how one can give most genuine attention to weak or afflicted planets, which should be viewed as holistic approach towards remedial measures.


Listening to the message from Sun:

1. When Sun is weak or afflicted in chart then most important area which should be given attention is how one deal with his or her father or other elder members in family. Weak Sun signify troubles and conflict with such figures and one should intentionally learn to stay patient and not abuse or mistreat them in any way despite compelling circumstances.
2. One should build Self-worth and tendency to depend on others should be gradually given away. In initial years of life this might be a painful exercise, but for the ones having weak Sun, this is the cosmic message: Learn to walk alone .In words of Rabindranath Tagore,
Jodi Tor Dak Shune Keu Na Ase Tobe Ekla Cholo Re (If they answer not to thy call, walk alone)
3. At workplace tendency to neglect process and guidelines should be kept under control. Dissatisfaction arising from feeling bounded and ruled by higher authority should be accepted in positive manner.
4. Cultivation of healthy Spirit of competition .Ambition for worthy goal should be developed with conscious efforts, as weak Sun considerably dampen the fire within to grow and rise in life. Sun gets amazing power once you ignite your inner fire to lead from the front.
5. All matters related to administration, matters which are related to government and higher authorities should be dealt with high level discipline and procrastination in such affairs should be totally avoided.

Listening to the message from Moon:

1. When Moon is weak or afflicted in chart then one should involve in activities which will raise Self-worth .One needs to believe in Self and undue comparisons with others should be altogether avoided. Weak Moon signifies need for Self nourishment, so pamper yourself well at times.

2. Will power should be developed intentionally. There are plenty of good Self-help books available in the market today. Go and pick some of the best material and remove the obstacles that are created by your own misjudgement and inaction.

4. True respect should be given to one’s mother and other elderly women in general. Weak Moon signify mother who herself is haunted deep inside and couldn’t provide tender love and nourishment to individual in early stages of life. One need to acknowledge this fact well within the heart and all the elderly females should be treated like Divine Mother Goddess, blessing of motherly figures can give tremendous boost to Moon’s strength.

Listening to the message from Mars:

1. One should learn to channelize his energies well. Action part should be given more importance and daily routine should be strictly organized, one might face huge resistance in doing it, like rowing against river flow, but you got to remember you are dealing with dynamo Mars.
2. One should start working selflessly for others; even a small step taken in this direction will give great power to Mars.
3. One should learn to assert his own views gracefully. One should understand that it’s important to maintain Self-identity and developing strong conviction.
4. Weak Mars will find strength if one gets involved in regular physical exercises and take care of his body well .Inspiring stories about achievers should be studied, contemplated and implemented in life.
5. One should actually focus in organizing things around. Be it wardrobe, thoughts, random and un channelized energy and alike, bringing a meaningful management in your life will give amazing power to Mars.
6. Relationship with siblings should be worked upon. More you harmonize your bonding with them, greater is the power given to Mars.
7. Develop an attitude to finish any task end to end. Going through all ordeal but not giving up your vision of final victory will give stunning boost to Martian qualities.
