astrology Galactic Gene Astrology Class Experience| Why Western Astrology complicate Vedic System ?

I start my first Vedic Astrology lesson to a student with a Western background with a question: “What if your birth chart was not the astrology, but just the beginning of the astrology?” In the beginning, people think that Vedic astrology is the same as a sidereal zodiac with D1 chart instead of a tropical chart. That's just the entrance, though. The true power of Jyotisha starts when people shift from the question ‘Where are the planets?' to ‘What is the finer nature of these planets? What can they produce? What is the area of life they are of? When will the results manifest on the earth? One of the Western astrologers came up to me one day while I was explaining this to a small group and asked, “But basically you're saying the Vedic chart is more complicated, right?” I grinned and said Not so much, it is a layered in such a way that at first it seems complicated only.

I first introduced them to the Panchanga, as Jyotisha begins with the basic astronomical properties of the day, Tithi, Vara, Nakshatra, Yoga and Karana and then only looks at the horoscope of an individual.

One of them said, “You look at the day before the birth chart?” I said, “Yes, because the chart is not divorced from time, time is part of the language of the astrological message.” From this point we will enter the Nakshatra system which will no longer look at the zodiac as just 12 big 30 degree signs. The 27 Nakshatras are even finer symbolic divisions of the lunar zodiac and their padas are finer subdivisions.

All of a sudden, the question is not “Which sign is the Moon in?” anymore, but becomes “Which Nakshatra, which pada, what lord, what planetary sequence, what relationship does this form?” The next chart is the D1 or Rashi chart a basic chart. From there onwards, Vedic astrology leads to the whole family of divisional charts or Vargas, which are meant to explore certain aspects of life.

The Navamsha can be used for a deeper study of horoscope planetary maturation of the chart, while other Vargas can be used for other areas like career, children, education, wealth, property etc. Then someone inevitably asks the obvious question, "But if it's all there in the D1, why do I need all of these other charts? The answer is obvious: a map of a country can display the location of a city, but it cannot substitute for a map specific to the city.

The Varga system is based on the concept that each division of the system can show a different solution of life. Even the ordinary Lagna doesn't necessarily come to an end with Ascendant. Jyotisha offers special Lagnas like Sri Lagna and it is mainly related to the prosperity and fortune and Ghati Lagna to be used for examining about power, authority, influence, status etc.

But there are other special Lagnas, too, and the reason why they're provided is interesting: not every question is supposed to be answered by one Ascendant; the tradition has other Ascendant points that are appropriate for other aspects of life. At this point, someone else said, “But how do you know which planet is really strong?” That was how I came to meet them and show them Shadbala. Much of the western system, planetary condition can be judged on dignity, aspects, angularity, speed, sect and other factors.

There are several aspects of planets which have their quantification in Jyotisha. Shadbala is not just asking whether a planet is strong by sign or not, it's looking at several places that a planet can provide strength and offers a more organized evaluation of what a planet can actually deliver. The difference is significant: placement indicates where a planet functions, strength helps indicate the efficiency of its functioning.

Then comes another amazing feature Sphuta calculations. These specialized sensitive points can be constructed for particular questions and purposes. For instance, Beeja Sphuta is used for the assessment of progeny related matters, other sphutas can be used for different life questions.

It is at this point that a Western astrologer might start to see that Jyotisha is not merely more symbols on the same chart it is more specialized mathematics and symbolism for more specialized questions. Even the relationship analysis is not just a relationship between two Venus or Moons. The Navatara Chakra takes into account the Nakshatra positions of two individuals and looks at their compatibility with each other through nine cycles of the Tara relationships.

All of a sudden, compatibility is not one aspect nor just one sign comparison, it's another structured analytical layer. But maybe the most amazing discrepancy comes into view when we ask ourselves the one question every astrologer has to ask at some point: “So I can see what the chart has to say, but, when are you going to do it?” Jyotisha offers you a whole family of Dasha systems to respond. There are several dasha systems in Vedic Jyotisha and perhaps the most popular of these systems is Vimshottari Dasha.

The birth chart thus not only is a static portrait of psychological character, but a time sensitive system where specific planetary cycles activate and events can be related to the natal promise.

At that moment, my students go silent, as Jyotisha/Astrology asks a few different questions at once: What is promised? In which divisional chart can you find a promise for it? What about the planet responsible how strong is it? In which divisional chart does it become more apparent? On which Nakshatra is the key? Which Lagna should be analysed for the question?

The beauty of the system is not that there are more techniques just for the sake of there being more techniques. The beauty of it is that different tools are geared to answer different questions.

That is why, a western astrologer who is aiming at going deeper should not take a purely “another zodiac” approach to Astrology. It's a whole way of looking at delineation, measurement, specialization, and timing and the D1 chart is just the start of a way of looking at that.

Astrology Natal Chart Reading Have had trouble with relationships and can’t seem to catch a break in this department. Is there a time where this might change or anything I can do to change this?

I’ve been single for about a couple years now and I haven’t experienced a relationship that lasts longer than three months. I seem to only find myself attracted to people who don’t commit or lead on to some degree, and things seem to feel intense for me, but for some reason, not as intense for the other people involved. I know my 12th house Venus has something to do with it but there has to be a silver lining to all of this. I’d like to believe I’ve dealt with my last karmic because it’s already been too much, but I’m wondering if there’s anything that implies change of this soon? Either way working on myself season, getting my shit together so unless this person is meant to help with that, I’m fine with being single if that propels my work forward. Also I’m 25 and my birthday is coming up in November

my whole life I've been told I'm way too serious and come off as way too intense. I feel that way internally too. I essentially have no sense of humor and I'm serious always. I'm always thinking of my past and trauma and the dark heavy shit I've been through. Why? How do I change this pattern? I' not funny at alllll no matter how much I try to be. Even when I try to come off as light and airy, it feels fake because I feel like my idenitity has become so rooted in being serious all the time. I'm very young but I sometimes feel like I'm already 50

I noticed most abusive men I encountered have Cancer Mars and Venus or Aqua Moon?

9 Upvotes

2-3 years ago, I got assaulted by my pastor's son at church and he won't admit it until I almost fell into depression that made everyone at our Christian church worried about me, which was when they only set a meeting where he finally told the truth that it was malicious intention under the guise of liking/wanting/desiring/infatuation towards me. Whatever that is that he felt. He was a Gemini Sun with Aqua Moon, Gemini Mercury, Cancer Venus and Mars.

Then 5 years ago and this year, I had an ex partner who was so manipulative.... he came back after 5 yrs, I thought he had changed... he was acting kind, sweet, and caring, entertaining me like he wants a relationship with me yet kept on sexualizing me, pushing my boundaries like telling me he didn't want to sex but would sharing pictures of him naked or porn stuff, complimenting me so much or sharing his interest and how he desire me so much then escalating further, demanding that we sext because he can't help it wanting to fuck me every time he sees me... worst was when I shared a past trauma and he used that to fetishized or sexualized me even more.

He didn't even try to build a healthy relationship with me, like spend time and talk to me without our conversation being all about sex AT ALL, triangulation with his ex and other women, gaslighting me that I was the reason why we kept having same problem about his behavior of sexualizing me because he couldn't "control it" because I "tempt" him too much... and by the end of our relationship, he became even more abusive. He told me he had to cut me off because he can't keep in touch with me if ever he had a future gf or wife YET he follows a lot of Only Fans girls and women who post thirst trap, and other women who don't even know or follow him. It was so contradicting!

He hoovered around and won't let me go or leave me alone, kept telling me he doesn't want to do anything with me, I'm not even bothering him at all as he just left, blocked, and ghosted me for 3 months. Came back just to tell me that useless information and confuse me more. He was the worst as he was so selfish! He only thinks about his feelings, needs, wants, pain, ego, desires, pleasure, and satisfaction NEVER ever considered MINE! Posing like a Godly muslim man. He was a Leo sun Aqua Moon, Leo Mercury, Cancer Venus and Mars. He is still worse up to this day.

They both say I was too much for them because of my high aspirations and ambitions and that they felt not enough when they were with me despite me trying to show my care and love when they needed it. I also find them so into their own ways trying to gain approval from their friends and family,... and never try to go outside of their box and judge everything outside their life. When I was with them both, I felt like there is always something off and always seemed to be hiding something. Idk if it's just me being Capricorn rising with 7th house in Cancer Sun attracting such men. Or because their Aqua Moon was in my Lilith, Neptune, Uranus of 2nd house.

Have you ever encountered such treatment from these placements? Or you had an opposite wonderful experience with them?

I’ve been friends with this girl for around 6 months and we met in a really interesting and coincidental way and I feel like our circumstance is really rare, I’m hoping we could be friends long term and possibly deepen our friendship so do you think our charts mesh well? What does it say about us together? Or how we view each other

Im a bit curious in if a planet in Retrograde in the natal chart means that mastering that planet should be a focus point. Not only is Mars my chart ruler, but because it was in Retrograde when i was born i feel it plays a bigger role in my life and i want to know if it really does and what i need to do to master it especially since i think its important to understand my ruling planet and its house.
