EYE ON ASTROLOGY: SECRETS OF TIMING PART 2
There is a famous movie with Gwyneth Paltrow called Sliding Doors (1998) which is not a great movie but it has an important premise for astrology. The movie revolves around whether Gwyneth catches the train or whether the sliding doors close in front of her and she misses the train. In one case she comes home early and catches her boyfriend cheating on her and in the other scenario she does not.
While some karma is very hard and does have to hit us, as we meditate and do good deeds and become more conscious and aware, I think karma comes back more softer and that we are given schools to karma to work out and choices to make. Often I think the astrology sets up a situation and how we act up on it this time is dependent on our judgment and free will. Often clients want us to give a definitive yes or no that it will go this way and the best astrologers can be 75%. More often than not we can see the karma coming up but how you deal with is up to you. Even if there is a health condition coming up if it is connected to the 6th house, through discipline and diet and awareness we can change the outcome. Eight house karma can be more difficult and more acute but even 8th house issues are beckoning us to transform and transcend and if are on top of what we need to do for certain areas of our life, they do not have to hit us. I think there are early warning systems available but once in a while stuff hits us out of the blue.
When we are aware of the problem and choose not to repeat the same mistake, we can create an alternative universe.  I often seen in charts that the dasha period will set up a school to bring up the issues but with meditation, service, awareness and poise, we can make new choices and create an alternative universe. Hence awareness from a reading may allow us to see our blind sports.
KARMA SHIFT: I do believe in karma shift which means if we were meant to get a bullet in the head that with good deeds, charity work, service and meditation, maybe the bullet goes through our hat or grazes us. The more conscious we are, the more we can shift karma.
BLIND SPOTS: A good astrologer should throw light on our schools of karma and help us see unconscious patterns that we are blind toward. 12th house karma represents our blind spot because the 12th house is right before sunrise where we are blinded by glare of the rising sun and cannot see clearly.
There are other blinding pattern produced by gulika, the son of Saturn which can create deep paranoia and aberrant psychology and make us get caught up unnecessary fear that does not exist. There are also implications from the lunar day and the nitya yoga of the day from the daily Panchanga that create Dagda Rashi where certain houses get psychological blinding influences an obstacles that we cannot see. This can happen with Badhaka planets also and we have written about these before.
The goal of Jyotish should be to help shed light on our blind spots before we fall into the open sewer hole but we often have to have enough awareness to have some awareness around them or at least want to discover them.
