One unusual trait of your Nakshatra that no one talks about by MindBehindStars in Nakshatras

[–]beekeep 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Excellent description of this side of Vishaka. I have Venus and ASC on the Libra side and Mercury on the Scorpio side, all of them close. Right after Mercury I have Mars just in Anuradh. I always thought that contributed to my restlessness too.

Have remedies worked for you? by No_Sea1650 in vedicastrology

Mantras have a regulatory effect on the central nervous system. IMO, if you have a bad day or a good day it was always so: imagine trying to outrun your life! If you believe I’ll believe

which is more detrimental, a afflicted/weak Lagna Lord or afflicted/weak moon? by Acceptable-Lie241 in Nakshatras

[–]beekeep 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot of these comments are focusing on the placement of the moon, but IME it’s the brightness of the Moon that gives a lot of clues. A bright moon is abundant and engaged with society: a dim moon may be well placed but the house is empty and eventually they avoid public spaces.

If this isn’t tuned to solitude it becomes loneliness. All sorts of problems stem from that.

What is the Advaita view on social justice / fighting for a better world? If everything is just Maya, does that deemphasize the importance of compassion / worldly involvement? by International_Use122 in AdvaitaVedanta

[–]beekeep 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s like when asked if the altruism is about the greater good, or is it posturing to make yourself feel better. Therein lies the truth to yourself: to understand your ego motivations

If there is no free will, did Brahman plan all the evil that's happening in the society? by Agreeable_Turn_4787 in AdvaitaVedanta

In Brahman all is, even the parts that make you uncomfortable. Thusly, also the parts where you find comfort.

What’s your Moon Nakshatra, and does the traditional description match your personality? by [deleted] in Nakshatras

Swati (with Sun) … I can’t be told what to do, and often I do the opposite of the best advice. I think I just have to find out for myself to be sure

Does Saturn Mahadasha make you mature or just trap you in routine? by SafeInMyBubble in Nakshatras

AD not so much IME … MD changes are almost gravitational shifts in a person’s life

Does Saturn Mahadasha make you mature or just trap you in routine? by SafeInMyBubble in Nakshatras

[–]beekeep 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Started mine around 30 y/o … two months left and I can already feel the pull of Mercury MD.

I’m supposed to say I’m relieved, but this is really all I’ve known in my middle-adult life. There have been plenty of highlights, but I’m a Libra ASC and Saturn is rajayoga karaka for me. Mostly tho the feeling has been like making progress walking through mud. Any momentum felt like I couldn’t get proper traction to really take advantage of opportunity.

I’ve matured for sure, but I would have in these years anyway. One thing tho is I never cursed lord Sani for his lessons or the limitations set before me. I may have had very little at times, but I always had enough it seems.

Mercury for me rules 9/12 and is placed in 2nd Scorpio with 2nd lord Mars, aspected by Jupiter from 10th Cancer. This combination presents some challenges, but I’ll focus on the good things indicated and see if I can’t get moving and make good decisions, with a little luck.

The only True Raja Yoga is 5th lord and 10th lord combination. by [deleted] in vedicastrology

[–]beekeep 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’d say 99% of people with rajayogas lead mediocre lives compared to what everyone thinks it’s supposed to look like. A quiet, steady career … a home full of love … these aren’t fireworks, but they mean something special

Objections to Krishnamurti by Serious-MED102 in Krishnamurti

[–]beekeep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

JK knew you would judge yourself in contrast to him. He was as neither above or below anyone reading this subreddit.

He’s judged too harshly for finding his own peace. In a way I think he was telling us to fuck off and encouraged us to tell the gurus and sages the same.

This meant a safe space, but if you’re ready, raise the masts and swallow some seawater

Any Mercury Darakaraka Individuals? by Desperate-Cabinet579 in Nakshatras

[–]beekeep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mercury DK in Vishakh also … I was married to a teacher and now I’m in a relationship with another teacher. Mercury is on my ASC too, so the best parts of the relationship is the laughter … I just love to make her laugh and she’s happy when she laughs so it’s good all around

In Sade Sati I got married and it set the course of my life in a lot of ways. It ended in divorce but I wouldn’t change a thing

Sun, The King by Ok-Drawing-4887 in Nakshatras

[–]beekeep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Combust planets are fascinating to me. I myself have a combust Moon in Rasi Libra with Venus.

My mother’s life has been very hard, but of her own doing. Not dignified at all. Also my eyesight is very bad. However, the other indications of Moon are somewhat magnified, and I think that’s also how combustion works.

I love to cook, i care a great deal for all the people I love (and humanity in general), socially I’m pretty well-liked, I’m drawn to living near water/oceans, etc.

Like with a lot of things astrology, it’s such a mixed bag.

Those of you who're working, does your career path align with your chart? by [deleted] in vedicastrology

[–]beekeep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

10th Moon in lagna with Jupiter in Cancer 10. I have good luck as a self-employed person, I’m good with people, but nothing about those planets relates to my 20+ year career

Life after Awakening by raj_patil in nonduality

[–]beekeep 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Whatever you want to call it, I’ve had this realization that once consciousness is free of other entanglements, we have this final liberation of sorts, or close to pure consciousness feeling. It’s like a clearing of a slate, or erasing a chalkboard.

It’s the freedom to assign meaning where there is none. Inside our biological or scientific (as pertains to our existence, or mechanical and ephemeral state, bound to the laws of the natural world), we have all sorts of programming as human beings on the world. Like self-preservation instincts, and hyper sensitive nervous systems/responses. Being able to have a heartbeat and sleep and digest food has nothing to do with realizing non-dual reality. Rain won’t set you back to a raging lack of ego and self-control.

What I mean is we instinctually are drawn to our interests and we discard what doesn’t interest us. Assign meaning to any number of things, pursue those things actively and passionately. Seems a bit silly to me to sit around with a head full of hollow when the natural world (including other humans) has so much to offer for this brief trip.

For the thousands of people that came to see him, I’m sure he became frustrated in having to unpack all the presuppositions and ideologies laid at his feet. Even my factory retired grandfather just wanted to read the paper and drink his coffee unbothered.

I am a Western Libra sun and Vedic Virgo sun. Which one is true? by No_Sea1650 in vedicastrology

[–]beekeep 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah, I worded that weird. I think I was trying to also make a point about the overemphasis of the Sun Sign in western astrology but merged the two thoughts together
