Sorry....

I owe you an apology. My last post was abrupt.

Right from the time that we come into this world, butt naked and screaming, we don't know what the future holds. Yet somehow things work themselves out.

It is the same with Astrology as well. No one can be really sure how things will pan out. We can study trends. And we can use our intuition in the best possible way.

But at no time should an astrologer cause you more stress. Heap more weight on you.

Because there are always ways of looking at life, to make it simpler. And lighter.

Karma

There are people who look at the misfortunes of others and blanket it as karma.

That is simply a way of avoiding looking at the other person's grief.

So some people hate the idea of karma. They say- 'How cheap to justify what happens to other people, by saying it is karma.'

They have a point.

But when it comes to dealing with your own life, karma is a very helpful idea. You can look at things that happen to you, and be open to the possibility that you could have done this to someone else, in your past.

By just being open to that possibility, you may find yourself more willing to move on from the present situation.

Intensity

We were hit by a strange hail storm last week in Bangalore.

I like walking in all weather. So I had my raincoat on, and I was navigating the scary footpaths of the city. I had to imagine myself as a Shaolin monk treading water. To keep my step light, and make sure I wouldn't slip, or step into a manhole.

And I saw people riding two wheelers, balancing heavy gas cylinders on them. The resilience of people moved me. No matter what is heaped on people, they find a way.

I also saw a lot of young people out, enjoying the unexpected rain.

No matter what we will find a way. And we somehow have great reserves of enjoyment within us.

This Is The Time...

To reinforce beliefs that strengthen you.

To spend some quiet moments in silence. Or in prayer.

To connect with people around you.

To carve space out to focus on what you would like to do.

This is the time to protect your attention. Spend it on content that benefits you.

Astrologically....

No Indian astrologer is looking at the outer planets. And Tropical astrologers are looking at completely different time frames for the outer planets.

I have selected time frames that are relevant to the the events that will play out in the following years.

These posts talk of major changes.

And it is important that we work to make things easier for people around us.

Perspective

Earlier I would think that perhaps the system is too strong.

Now I know that the power of the people is stronger.

No matter what happens that can never die.

Until Next Week

Don't let any doom and gloom person get to you. Not even me.

Write down ten super positive statements. Think of those that make you feel strong. Connected. Add some stuff about love.

Even Chinese government is asking its people to smell the roses and fall in love.

That's something unpredictable for you.

Fill this list with the best.

In a period of time like this, your intentions and love, will go deep.

Keep both fish alive. One fish open to understanding the world outside. One fish turned to the source within.
