The Corona Virus and Rahu

Introduction:

With regard to the corona virus, most astrological articles have focused on ‘ when will the pandemic end’  ? or ‘ when will there be a cure for the virus’?

I wish to focus on the why and what of the corona virus from the astrological viewpoint.

Philosophical underpinnings:

The reason i wish to look at the virus from the grahas( planets ) point of view is the very basic founding block of astrology or jyotish which is :

1. The planets are a part of the Supreme Intelligence or Nature .

    2.   They have been allocated very specific roles to play in the Universe and to understand them is to understand Nature.

For eg metaphorically the moon stands for nourishment , mars for valour etc.

Hence ,if we can understand which planet the virus behaves like , we can try and infer what the the virus is trying to teach us or tell us by using the symbology of the planet.

Primary hypothesis:

It is my primary hypothesis, that the virus behaves like Rahu and that Ketu stands for the measures of prevention and the vaccine.

One is an Expansionary force and the other a Contracting force.

Rahu likes to spread fast and uncontrollably . Ketu likes to slow down and self isolate!

Rahu  and  Ketu:

Rahu and Ketu are called the chaya grahas or shadow planets because they are not actual planets but points of intersection of the Earths orbit round the sun and moons orbit round the Earth.

They both have very distinct and varied personalities that affect us and the world in which we live.

RAHU MAHARAJ ( THE EXPANDER):

The demon king, Rahu maharaja , has the reputation of a trouble maker but also boon giver. He said  to be the most ambitious , tamasic of all planets with  a knack  for being a master manipulator!

Rahu is said to have only HIS HEAD and hence tends to remain perennially hungry and angry. 

It is also said the Rahu is KAAL or death personified and hence in  jyotish,  Rahu is an indicator of untimely death or accidents. 

RAHU’S significations:

1. Scientific breakthroughs
2. Space travel
3. Viruses
4. Unexplained outbreaks of diseases.
5. Unknown causes of death.

RAHU’S psychological traits:

1. Breaking the law
2. lack of impulse control
3. addictions
4. gathering in large numbers like dance parties 
5. disregard for morality or good behaviour
6. the deceiver and multiplier

RAHU’S body part :

The mouth

Scientific analysis of the corona virus:

From the available scientific data till date we know that the virus -

1. Spreads primarily through the mouth and nose
2. Spreads very fast in  large gatherings
3. is very difficult to detect 
4. is mutating very often
5. has different effect on different people
6. Can kill you in cases of extreme co-morbidities

My questions:

1. Who does the corona virus behave like?
2. What can be learnt from the corona virus?

Question 1:  Who does the coroner virus behave like?

From the above mentioned data ,it can be reasonably inferred that the corona virus mimics Rahu to a large extent.

Rahu’s role in our life :

Rahus primary role is to make you ambitious and driven . He is the alpha male and represents the overall progress  every civilisation has made in terms science,finance,medicine,engineering and quality of life.

Rahu’s negative effects:

Rahus primary trait is that HE DOES NOT RESPECT ANYONE . ESPECIALLY NOT NATURE!! The  aggressive deforestation happening on earth is a classic Rahu drive.

He does NOT care for the consequences  of his actions and HIS MOTTO in life is JUST ENJOY AT any COST!

Rahu and the corona virus:

It is classic rahu behaviour like not wearing masks , not listening to authorities that has allowed the virus to begin its second and in some countries even third waves.

Question 2:  What can be learnt from the corona virus?

In this context of Rahu and the corona virus , we can learn the following:

1. Progress is good but not at the cost of the environment.
2. NATURE MUST BE RESPECTED AT ALL TIMES.
3. All actions have CONSEQUENCES GOOD OR BAD.

These are important learnings from the virus that can help us all.

Conclusion:

In summary , Rahu is the corona virus and Rahu is the Behaviour within us that has allowed the virus to spread and become a pandemic!

We must try and curb the Rahu ( impulsive behaviour) within us to get rid of the virus!!

In the next article i shall discuss Ketu and the vaccine  for corona virus.

Till then stay safe and stay Happy!

Was I Fated to get divorced ? Fate versus free will.

 

Introduction:

‘ Was I fated to get divorced?  Why did i have to go through all this? Could I have prevented any of this?? “  These are some of the most common questions i get asked as an astrologer from people in different spheres of life.

So it begs the critical question “  IS EVERYTHING FATED OR CAN WE PREVENT ANYTHING USING OUR OWN FREE WILL ?? “

This is also a very old , often discussed and debated philosophical question of ‘ FATE VERSUS FREE WILL”.

Understanding fate and free will:

1. Fate (Naseeb):

It is the indomitable IRON HAND that rules your life . Fate determines where you are born , your physique , your prospects in life and death.

For people who only believe in Fate ,  FATE RULES AND DETERMINES EVERYTHING FROM YOUR BIRTH TO YOUR DEATH.

One of the common indicators of your fate is your birth chart or kundali. The birth chart of kundalini is simply a map of the heavens at the date and time of your birth.

It is simply a device to measure or indicate the role fate plays in your life - good or bad.

    2.  Free will:

Free will is the faculty of the brain and the mind used to chart ones own course in life.

It dominantly consists of how you think , your attitude , your perceptions and MOST IMPORTANTLY DECISION MAKING !

People who believe in free will decry fate as an excuse of the weak!  Generally speaking free will people think of astrology an unnecessary crutch or means of escapism used to justify being lazy or incompetent!

Philosophical connections between fate  and free will:

There are many philosophical and spiritual dictums/ doctrines  that tend to point to the connections between the fate and free will.

Here are 2 of my favourites:

1. Karmanusarini budhhi:

Simply stated it means that your Karma will determine your buddha or intellect. Karma you have   is the extension of your fate .

Hence your fate determines your buddhi  or FREE WILL . Which ultimately means your fate will determine how you think , people you meet  , your education etc.

    2.   Buddhi karmanusarini:

Simply stated it means that your Buddhi will determine your karma or FATE.

Hence a person who thinks better or acts better WILL MOST LIKELY HAVE BETTER FATE!

SO WHAT IS THE TRUTH ?

You  may accuse me of playing with words and trying to confuse you .

Thats not the case because this is a very serious and important subject matter that requires deep introspection and warrants AN OPEN MIND!

Examples:

One of the easiest ways to understand complex subjects is to simplify them via real life examples.

I shall be presenting 4 real life cases i have seen, that have suffered a  similar  outcome in one sphere of life.

1. Individual  A wanted to marry individual B :

A wanted to marry B .  He consulted an astrologer before  deciding . The astrologer said NO. 

A said ‘ I don't believe in astrology and these pandits ‘.  

A got married to B . 

 After 2 years , A  got a divorce.

2.   Individual G wanted to marry individual H :

G wanted to marry H.  But G was a strong believer in astrology and he consulted 3 astrologers:

First astrologer told G  - YES you can proceed.

Second astrologer told G - NO you will get divorced.

Third astrologer told G - NO you are not fated to get married.

G was madly in love with H . He got married with H.

After 1,  year G got a divorce.

3.    Individual S wanted to marry individual T :

S wanted to marry T . The families of both S and T recommended seeing some astrologer to check the match.

S and T both refused. They had full faith in their love and companionship.

S and T took a divorce, 5 years after marriage.

4.    Individual M wanted to marry individual F :

M wanted to marry F inspite of grave opposition from his/her own family . The family was convinced that the marriage would not last. But M was adamant and did not heed to family pressure and proceeded to marry F.

M took divorce 3 months after marriage.

Understanding the above examples:

The above mentioned examples should help us understand  the difficult and complicated concepts of fate vs free will.

My questions:

1. Could any 1 one of these divorces be prevented?

    2.  Were they all fated to get divorced?

I request you all to think deeply and send me your thoughts on nikhhar2498@gmail.com

I shall be discussing all these cases in great detail in my next post.

Conclusion:

The inner workings of the fate mechanism is very intricate and not so simple to understand.

However we must venture to examine this fine balance of fate and free will that rules our lives and the lives of those around us.

Please pen your thoughts on this subject to nikhhar2498@gmail.com.

I shall be eagerly waiting to hear from you !!
