Fate and Destiny Versus Free Will

Eastern Astrology for Western Minds

from Joni's book - Eastern Astrology for Western Minds

Upachaya Houses and Will Power

As an astrologer the most common question always revolves around fate and free will. How much of our life is fated or destined, and how much is free will? The answer to this age-old question varies according to who is asked; I don’t think anyone knows for sure except a divine master. I haven’t had the privilege to meet one yet. But for now I will use the best tool I know to find the way through this mystery- astrology. We all know there must be free will or the ability to make choices that can change the future; otherwise we would merely be puppets acting out a script. There would be no purpose or meaning if this world were preplanned, unalterable.

The 27 Nakshatras

Articles
The nakshatras are one of the oldest references we have to astrology from the Rig Veda, dating back about 5,000 years ago. The Vedas are the religious scriptures of the great seers and sages of India. The nakshatras are like the zodiacal signs but more specific. Their meanings are derived from the constellations, fixed stars and the mythology behind these portions in the sky. They are rich in meaning and have ruling deities that reveal the stories or myths that bring to life the symbology referred to in our own lives.

The Importance of the Navamsha

Articles
What leads me to write on the navamsha is the Presidential election. I predicted that President George W. Bush would be elected both terms based on his navamsha. The last election I had undue strife concerning this prediction. I received hate mail and even bets from other astrologers about this prediction. I would say about 75 percent of astrologers predicted that John Kerry would be elected. It really dismayed me when Indian astrologers I had never heard of with self-appointed titles of royalty staunchly predicted John Kerry. I stood by my word because I knew no Indian astrologers could be that affluent as they had claimed without any reference to the navamsha.

Predicting with Transits - Gochara

Articles
Life of Princess Caroline of Monaco Analyzed Transits are the constant motion of the planet’s cycles. A chart is a freeze frame of the planets in space. We chart them relative to our planet Earth within the boundaries of the ecliptic against the background of the fixed stars. The fixed stars are what make up the constellations or signs. The transiting planets in a chart are where the planets are currently in the sky. As they form aspects to the natal planets in a chart they trigger events in an individual’s life. We can chart where these planets will be in the future, giving us the ability to make predictions based on where the transiting planet will go in a chart (what houses) and what planets in the natal chart the transiting planet will aspect. The transits will bring to life all the indications of the houses they activate and the planets they aspect. Transits are used to time events in a life. You may see a potential in a chart, but when will the potential manifest or come to fruition? This is activated through the onset of the dashas and the activation of the natal planets through the transits aspecting them.

Self-Realization

Awaken to the Truth
from Joni's book - Awaken to the Truth Through understanding ourselves we can come to self-realization, which is our destiny or eternal quest, meaning through ourselves we will find God. Jesus stated, “The kingdom of God in within you.” Have faith that the truth will be revealed to you, giving your life meaning and purpose. All religions state this simple truth. No matter what symbol you pray to, or meditate on to get there, whether it is the saints of Catholicism or the deities of Hinduism, they are symbols that represent an energy we need to give us meaning, focus and direction.
