Karmic Lessons Learnt - Journey of Saturn and Ketu - 2

In the first part we explored the events and broader patterns activated by Saturn-Ketu association. In this part we will dive in deeper and see specificity of these events how these patterns will sink in. This sinking in will take place in second phase of Saturn-Ketu association which remains effective from October 2019 to January end 2020.This is the phase of ripening of these changes and coming to terms with lessons learnt.

Aries people needs to reform their belief system ,how they perceive working with others, some of their professional karma will get complicated before it gets settled .Change in attitude about others, about elders in family, lessons learnt from events occurring in life of father or someone senior at work/family .Forced relocation ,work related changes ,need to upgrade skills and working on lower ego are bigger lessons. Religious beliefs, lifelong perceptions about Divine and destiny will be shaken as well, some will find drifting away while others will get back home, depending on individual destiny as well. It’s about changes in your approach due to shattering of earlier beliefs and with end of many associations out of whom you derived a sense of security. It’s time to become self-reliant again. Saturn-Ketu will teach you not to rely on some idea, people, situations or resources blindly as these are subjected to change. Your sense of identity owing to your status will also undergo change.

Karmic Lessons Learnt - Journey of Saturn and Ketu - 1

Who has really experienced the swings of time with awareness will surely know how Saturn works and what it stands for. Saturn is known to bring karmic lessons to attention, it has duty to bring justice via balancing of karma which is done through events generated in its period or in its crucial phases of transit. Ketu, among all the planets, has special role. Its planet of detachment and signifies Spiritual shift, learning and realizations. Any combination of these two planets is bound to have deeper implications which will shine apart, which will need repeated, focused efforts to be acknowledged and then worked upon.

In year 2019, Saturn and Ketu are transiting in same sign of Sagittarius since April and will remain together in whole year. Since April these two planets together have activated an intense process. These planets together symbolize need to learn lessons in some aspects of our lives which will necessarily involve letting go, detachment from certain people, certain emotions, way of living. This process will involve repeated realizations that you need to change some aspects within which will have direct impact on outer world. As planets involved are intense, this process of change will invariably involve pain, frustration and fear of unknown(because known patterns will end) .Though introspection, bringing change is a continuous process in our lives, coming together of these two forces means some major, unresolved, deeply buried or karmic issues which will need special attention.

Free will - A short note

Query:

It seems sometimes like I’m a robot, performing a role and I don’t control the script at all.What is your view of free will? 

Response:

About free will, there is so much debate, unending one on it. In my experience I would say we do have free will but in matters which are relatively free and less dominant.

Like areas of birth, death, parents, city you live in, career, people you meet, money you earn etc. these broader aspects are destined and cannot be changed even a bit. This is the area of predestination which I would say will cover 80% of will .

The left 20 % can be said to be free will. It can be practiced in how we react and whether we form a new karma cycle or we let it exhaust and let our karma burn completely. Here comes the role of free will. Like for example in marriage/relationship, which is destined, partner is destined, fate of marriage is also destined. Now suppose if partner is abusive and marriage is going to break. Now if other partner has decent consciousness (so that free will can be practiced) then there will be two choices, either blame partner, hold grudges, create legal mess, and after separation hold on to that person and experiences. This approach would further bind you to same person and it is likely that same person now will have to bear your aggression, hatred and punishment in next life

Second act of free will could have been understanding that this relation was bound to end and hence tolerating with grace, letting go of person, situation and forgiving that person and yourself as well. Just taking the lesson ahead. This approach will majorly burn all karma with this person, and you will create freedom for your next life when it comes to choosing life partner. (This doesn’t mean that necessary and right action should not be taken, rather formation of new karmic cycle refers to unnecessary and prolonged attachments, keeping strong grudges and not forgiving that person (or self), something that comes from area of free will) .

May be free will exist in small and irrelevant activities of day to day which are minor. In my humble opinion amount of free will is very small and most importantly even to use this free will a person has to get awakened to some extent else this amount will also be lost owing to automatic responses to people and situations.

So more awake a person is, more he or she can feel and apply free will and mainly it will come in areas of how we react to people and events, which very gradually but ultimately, design the bigger patterns of our immediate and future karmic webs.

Heart of the matter: This is not an article in strict sense of terms but just a response to a query. This is vast and extremely complex area and this piece is just is an opinion, of course coming from long experiences and observations and tries to touch the essence only on this subject.
