In the first
part of article, we have discussed role of Sun to Mercury in context of how
their weakness signifies focus on some aspects, which in deeper sense becomes
the purpose of life. Weakness, affliction of some planet is often due to prolonged
repetition of some karma/intention which means weak planets in charts cannot be
made strong at once by any magical remedy, that will violate law of karma. Either
some lesson needs to be learnt or some karma has to be balanced. If a planet
is taking many years, decades, even life times to become weak, then it will
again take much time, effort and conscious action to bring it back in healthy
state. Now in continuation of earlier article, let’s move ahead and discuss how
weak ,problematic Jupiter, Venus, Saturn and Rahu-Ketu(nodes) symbolize higher
messages which until understood and implemented, causes suffering.
Jupiter – When Jupiter is weak, afflicted or
in unhealthy state then it can signify that a person has karmic debt with someone
elder or has goofed up majorly in terms of values, ethics. This can have multiple
interpretations. Like deceiving elder, humiliating someone badly, specially parents,
elders in family, teachers or even some Spiritual figures .It also means becoming
too dishonest ,getting into illegal practices, not caring about consequences of
actions and only focusing on money, gains and pleasure. Begin a prominent figure
(like saint, some healer, teacher, Guru, consultant, mass appealing figure
etc) and then misusing knowledge and wisdom to gain power, money, fame and
misleading masses, people in general is also one of the biggest causes. One of
the most prevalent causes which can be seen happening too frequently is abusing,
insulting some branch of knowledge/tradition without knowing anything about it.
This also weakens Jupiter.
Venus – Problematic, weak, afflicted Venus
too has severe and deep implications. When one is born with such Venus it often
hints at misuse of deep feelings of love and disrespecting emotions of someone.
Venus symbolizes the Rasa, the essence of any feeling. So when one bluntly
neglect someone’s love ,disrespects, even humiliates someone’s pure intentions/pure
love, then Venus will surely become weak in subsequent births. Other interpretations
can be cheating, abusing or neglecting one’s spouse/partner which then leads to
weak Venus and hence lack of love and security of family in next life(hence karmic
balance).Venus is purest form of love and love is always considered to be feminine
aspect. So neglecting, abusing, even doing violence against females leads to
such poor state of Venus. Again in today’s context a very common and causal
looking event, like using someone for pure physical pleasure purpose without having
any genuine feeling of love (when other person has emotions and connection though)
leads to afflicted Venus.
Saturn – The mighty Saturn when becomes weak,
afflicted, problematic can single-handedly create life of blockages and
suffering. The reasons can be numerous ,and here we are talking about the
essence. Saturn represents the sense of duty, commitment and how you see/value
other’s service and efforts. Saturn is Universal judge as well, so in all, any
major deceit, unethical practice, theft etc will cause problem from it in subsequent
births. Broadly, when one neglects, look down upon any work, any career branch,
any person doing ‘small’ work or devalue any effort, then Saturn is sure to
reflect that in next birth. When someone steal, speak lies continually, harm others,
misuse power and create conspiracy to blame others, causes suffering through
looting lands, properties ,imposing false court cases (when other person is not
really culprit and one is doing such acts only to shift the blame and for gains
alone) then Saturn will get placed in such difficult position so that you have
to pay back each penny and suffer hugely. Such causes lists can be huge ,but
essence is any form of lie to hurt, deceit, tendency to hoard, loot and look
down on anyone/ any work .
Rahu-Ketu
( Nodes ) – Rahu and
Ketu ,the lunar nodes, signifies major karmic stuck point in current life due
to major event/s in past life. Now nodes are really deep and their placement has
numerous implications because where they are placed is one thing but how many
planets, which houses they are gripping is main point. So depending on how many
planets are suffering due to them and how intense is conjunction will decide.
Very broadly if Rahu or Ketu or both are in difficult state then it can hint at
some major karmic event like murdering someone, looting someone horribly, devastating
someone either physically, mentally, emotionally or financially. Nodes hint at
major events which are generally associated with trauma and suddenness. Still decision
nodes will strictly need looking at other planetary associations and houses involved.
But results of such difficult node mean one can face total denial in some
aspect or intense suffering, mental illness or even doing suicide to balance past
life karma.
This is a high-level
discussion about how weak planets indicates where one might have created bad
karma from. In next series of articles we will take up each planet and see how
its weak/afflicted/difficult state means in deeper sense ,in terms of when soul
has chosen such planetary configuration in order for karmic purification or
even for learning some lessons(in such cases there is no adverse karma from
past ,weak planets can even indicate soul’s need to learn some deep lessons) or
when such planetary placements are for karmic balance purpose only.
