"Karma anubandheeni manushyaloke" (Man's life in the world is bound by his actions).
Sareeram kalu dharma saadhanam...” (Body is after all for the practice of Dharma)

A human being’s trouble starts when he questions the purpose of his existence.

Once upon a time there lived a peasant who had a horse. This horse ran away, so the peasant's neighbours came to console him for his bad luck. He answered: "it’s just fate, let us see what fate has in store for us tomorrow”
The day after, the horse came back, leading 6 wild horses with it. The neighbours came to congratulate him on his good luck. The peasant said: "it’s just fate let us see what fate has in store for us tomorrow”
The day after, his son tried to saddle and ride on one of the wild horses, but he fell down and broke his leg. Once again the neighbours came to share that misfortune. The peasant said: "it’s just fate let us wait and see what fate has in store for us tomorrow”
The day after, soldiers came to conscript the youth of the village, but the peasant's son was not chosen because of his broken leg. When the neighbours came to congratulate, the peasant said again:"it’s just fate, let us see what fate has in store for us tomorrow”
(Huai Nan Tzu)

Deepak,

The first casualty of a very afflicted Lg and moon is the personality of a man. I was very surprised to notice that this man has almost zero self-respect. Though he is talking self respect all the time and giving spiritual spinoffs to same. Since the personality is unattractive the native gets little attention of his peers, so he tries to draw attention by blowing up minor points in friendly banter, to underline how pious he is. Obviously such traits gets him shunted out from every imaginable company. Then this person shamelessly starts to walk into places and circles where he is not wanted or despised even. Now when this guy wants attention, he is impervious to polite hints or deliberate inattention. So when he has made himself enough of a nuisense he gets kicked out. He uses such kind of public insults for very loud moans, groans and laments to generate further sympathy. After that he again walks into the same inhospitable circles saying how sorry he is. I mean he will still walk into a place, even if it hangs a notice saying 'dogs and XYZ not allowed'. What kind of total shamelessness and debauched pride is this? But surprisingly when confronted with this pattern he will explain this as 'self-abnegation' and give it a spiritual spin. A very curious character indeed, practically a lab specimen for psychologists. They have a very complex medical term for it. But in Bangla and Hindi we have a simpler term - Laathkhor. I'll be happy to translate if anybody does not get the meaning.

"Men are born, they suffer, they die". In these seven words, a wise man once summarized all history of mankind. Grief is the substance with which life is generally made of. Every where one looks, one sees people unhappy for various reasons. People wonder why they are the victims of a cruel and merciless fate, when seemingly they have done no wrong. Morality becomes irrelevant because of the purposelessness and unfairness of life and the universe looks nothing but aimless chaos. Only a handful of persons can go high in life, others in spite of their efforts cannot succeed beyond a certain limit. Inscrutable are the ways of fate and destiny. We build castles in the air, unaware of the fact that our past life’s deeds have already maimed and dampened them.

[astroboy]

Since earliest times even the most primitive of men have asked these ultimate questions. What, in the name of sanity, is the meaning and the purpose of life beyond the obvious material one of sheer survival? Who am I? Why am I here? Where am I going? Why do I suffer? What is the true relationship to other humans, animals, nature, and theirs to me?

[astroboy]

Sir is there a chance that we are reading him wrong ? See there is a strong Vishaprayoga yoga . May be his mind is being poisoned by his so called friends ?
Vishaprayoga Yoga
The 2nd house holds or is aspected by malefics and the 2nd house lord is in a cruel Navamsha aspected by a malefic (Sarvartha Chintamani 3/143).
The person is vulnerable to be poisoned by others.

[astroboy]

Ever wondered why you are born at all. Why are you still alive? Why were you born to your parents and not to others? Why were you born in India for example? To those specific persons who you refer to as your father and mother? Why not in Germany to Germans? Or in Rwanda to a Hutu, or in Somalia. Why were you not born handicapped? Or deaf dumb or lame? Why do you have the good fortune of not being in Afghanistan, Congo or in Niger? Every heard of that country? God does not play dice for sure. Neither is he a frack. The answer is difficult to digest but you are what you are in this life because of what you were/ did in your past life, so if there is a past life there must be a future life and this is where the concept of the soul comes in.

Deepak,

This yoga applies. But think how can a person be vulnerable unless the lagna and the moon is weak. There is the chink in the armour through which poison enters. Also this yoga can also mean this guy is the poisoner. 2nd is the H of speech. And his second H is SCo, a water rashi (so cool and soothing above), sweet speech but its a rashi of Mars - aggression within. This is the perfect combination for poison. The shastras have a clear term for this - vishakumbham payomukham. A pot of poison topped with milk.

Remember what Srinivas ji said - lagna gone, man gone.

[astroboy]

So what you are saying effectively sir is that we cannot take any good yogas into consideration. There are some beautiful yogas in the horoscope. for example.
Satkirti Yoga
The lord of the 10th house is a benefic and is located in it's sign of exaltation, friends sign or in it's own sign and divisions or in a benefic Shastiamsha (Sarvartha Chintamani 8/22).
The person will get fame in life.

[astroboy]

Lord Krishna says in the “Bhagavad Gita “just as a man giving up his old garments and accepts other new ones the soul also casts out old bodies and accepts new ones”. (Chapter 2 verse 22) The new body is tailor made for him in accordance with the karma’s of his past.
He goes further on to say in (chapter 2 verse 18.) “Only the embodied soul is eternal in existence, indestructible, and infinite, only the material body is perishable” In conclusion your past life's actions (karma’s) have put you where you are in this life. Difficult to believe? I know it is. But it's the truth .................. get used to it.

Deepak,

Just as a Maruti 800 chasis cannot hold a 40 ton truck's engine, a weak lagna cannot hold powerful yogas. Most likely all his yogas will happen in his indigestion fuelled, pudinhara soothed wet dreams. Kopit vata is a huge dosham. And remember lagna is in a vayu rashi.

Btw Deepak, have you heard of an astrological author called Major S.G. Khout?

[astroboy]

Someone who seeks God through logical proof is like someone who looks for the sun with a lamp. - Traditional Sufi Saying

[astroboy]

The one burning question that plagued mankind was “if there is a past how do we know what we were and did in the past?” there is just one way to peek into the past and that is through a horoscope. A horoscope is a map of the planets, the houses, and the stars at the time you took birth. The study of a horoscope is called jyotishya. The word is derived from two roots jyoti meaning light and isha meaning god.... Jyotishya literally means light of the god. Jyotish involves the study of the heavenly lights and their effects on human lives. The science of jyotish is as old as the Vedas dating back to at least 5000 years; do u think that the science would have lasted so long if there was no truth in it? For example Galileo discovered Jupiter in 1610, but jyotishya had discovered and described this planet in the classical texts of jyotish, all without a telescope. Jyotishya describes guru or Jupiter as an extremely benefic planet, and indeed it is. Its magnetic field is much stronger than of earth, extending to 650 million km. Jupiter’s magnetic field draws stray asteroids towards it thus saving earth from potential catastrophes

Well this author has pointed to the yoga below -

Arishta Matibhramana Yoga
Moon is waning and in a malefic Navamsha in a Kendra, while Mercury is with malefics.
The person is vulnerable to the development of a mental disorder.

(Major S.G. Khout)
