Remedial measures - Nature,scope and applicability

The most fundamental and higher use of Vedic astrology is rarely discussed and used as now most of the ‘astrologers’ use it for merely predictions, making this branch of knowledge loose its real sheen and might. Though this is what is widely prevalent now and once the sensitive or bad predictions are made, one’s mind instantly jumps to the remedies, the ways in which relief can be obtained or pain can be completely escaped. Remedial measures aren’t totally right or wrong and actually depends on solidity of character of counselor and intake capacity and limits of mind of a person at the receiving end. Though there is no strict parameter in which we can bind these remedial measures, still in a very broader pattern let’s see their nature, scope and applicability.

Living with the Saturn : Practical Remedies for planet Saturn

Saturn is known to give most challenging times and its transit(or dasa) is most feared. Amid mess and hopelessness one try to find remedial measure, any method which will please this planet and will take away all the pain. Saturn wants a fundamental change and working on outer level, through exoteric rituals alone won’t work. Remedies do have some effect, but when it comes to Sadesaati, Dhayya , etc.,Saturn needs change in inner most level and expecting relief solely through lightening Deepak under a tree or pouring mustard oil on Saturn’s idol are bound to disappoint .Lets have a look at some fundamental areas where one should work diligently to gain true Grace of Mighty Saturn.

1.Discipline is the key word for Saturn. This is the starting point, the main message in broader sense. Accept the fact that until and unless you bring discipline in your life, things won’t change for better.However long you resist organisation in and around you, Saturn will continue to haunt through in-numerous means .So accept and acknowledge the very first and main lesson which Saturn wants to instill in you.

Trasmutation of Faith , Karma and Astrology

Birth chart analysis in its most widespread form is primarily used as a tool for seeing the difficult periods along with prescription of remedial measures to minimize the ill effects. Rishi Prashar in Brihat Prashar Hora Shahstra has prescribed Mantras and worship of deities as potential way to tackle difficult times as indicated by planetary periods. There are numerous ways in which indivuals try to please deities as presented by planets. The intent of this write-up is to explore the link between faith and its effect on one’s destiny. This is rather grey area as generally such effects are invisible but in certain cases planetary positions in chart show miraculous placements whose linkage with Divine Grace cannot be ruled out by mere reasoning .Here as an example we will see two birth charts, one of a woman and second one of her child to see how beautifully faith has worked and more importantly how faith has been transmuted into position planet Jupiter, which represent Divine Grace of God in chart.Its important to differentiate the subtle message here ; intent here is just not to show how faith worked, rather main point is to explore how faith of parents has resulted in planetary position in birth chart of child.
