LEARN ASTROLOGY - LESSON 57 E

HOW TO AUGMENT FINANCIAL RESOURCES

Through preventive astral remedies or through appropriate deeds in the present and future we can remedy the results of inappropriate actions of past lives. This is valid for all areas of our life that we aspire to improve, including having more financial resources. The problems in life are caused by weak planets and/or afflictions to them. Therefore, a two-way application of astral remedies is administered after diagnosing the problematic planetary influences in a chart. Firstly, strength is provided to the weak functional benefic planets. The strength can be provided by various methods e.g. gems, color therapy, Kavach (the protective shield containing mystical numbers of the planets) in an auspicious time. Where the planets are severely weak and afflicted, a special power Kavach or a special power Kavach with gemstones is used. Secondly, the malevolence of the functional malefic planets is reduced by offering propitiatory charities concerning these planets. This two-way application helps in reducing the impact of malefic planetary influences to a large extent. The preventive use of astral remedies is much more useful than the curative astral remedies. Predicting the future is one part of the story regarding Astrology while remedial measures is the essence, which helps us in providing an umbrella during rainy days. Astrology offers help in the form of astral remedies. Regarding those who do not want to do astral remedies, there is little which can be done for such people except telling them the impact of the various planets in their birth charts.

Astrology can diagnose the good and bad times one will experience in life. It is the knowledge of remedial measures that can help to augment the good and mitigate the bad.  To do a scientific analysis of planetary influences in a birth chart we have to understand the predictive techniques of Systems’ Approach. 

Identify the strong planets in the chart, and the areas ruled by them.  These will be the areas where one should spend more energy to generate good financial gains i.e. the areas where one should give more attention. For the same purpose, also identify the natal auspicious conjunctions, aspects and placements.

Identify the weak planets in the chart and the areas ruled by them. These will be the areas where one should try to avoid wasteful expenses. 

3.  Identify the planetary periods and current transit influences.

4. Astrology is the science which helps create new beginnings in auspicious times.

5. Advise the remedial measures. 

Role of Astrology Remedies:

In the end, let us remind you of the benefits of astral remedies. The horoscope tells us the periods and the types of happiness or sufferings we are likely to face, right at birth. The impact of malefic planetary influences can be reduced by performance of propitiatory astrological remedial measures.  This will reduce the sufferings. The weak birth planets need strengthening for better results.

Peacemaking (propitiatory) remedies are suggested for the functional malefic planets to reduce their impact.

Natal afflictions cause prolonged problems in life.  The solution to problems is suggested in the form of astrological remedial advice for reducing the impact of natal and transit afflictions. 

Astrology remedies help us to: (i) understand  potentialities of our personality thus enabling us to plan success  in  our lives; (ii) reduce the chances of sudden mishaps/health problems; (iii) ease anxiety; (iv) prevent critical diseases; (v) develop leadership qualities;  (vi) look into the future;  (vii) avoid strains in a marital relationship; (viii) avoid business mishaps; (ix) avert professional setbacks; and (x) harness the educational prospects of children.

Our experience of over two decades tells us that by strengthening the weak benefic birth planets (i) we reduce the chances of stresses and strains; and (ii) we increase chances of betterment. We suggest propitiatory (peacemaking) astrological remedies based on the planetary tastes and bhoota yagya (one of the five great sacrifices for those who cannot speak and who cannot work for food) for reducing the impact of malefic/unfavorable planets. Astrology can guide/help you whenever you are on the cross-roads regarding making major decisions in life. The blessed ones are impelled by God to make use of astral advice and astral remedies for happiness.

The malefic influences in the birth chart are removed to a great extent with the help of the propitiatory (peacemaking) astral remedies. The impact cannot be removed completely. It is believed that the regular performance of peacemaking astrological remedies helps in reducing the impact significantly. The preventive propitiatory remedies help a lot better than post problem remedies. The weak birth planets can be strengthened by gemstones, a Kavach, a Special Power Kavach or a Special Purpose Kavach. For better impact these are first worn during an auspicious time. This is very important. The readers can study the details in our book, “Predictive Techniques and the Application of Astrological Remedial Measures”.

The strong influence of Rahu or Ketu or the most malefic planet to weak planets causes inflammation, deformities to children, congenital defects in children, professional setbacks, depression, strains in business relationships, persisting infections, allergies, apprehensions of loss, fear phobias, over ambitiousness, losses through risky or speculative ventures, sexually transmitted diseases, apprehensions regarding black magic/evil eye activities, litigation, sudden mishaps and problems in marital relationships.

Planetary strength and planetary affliction diagnosis is as important as immunization care for the newly born child. Immunization helps in the growth of the child. Remedies help in reducing problems.

Suggested peacemaking remedies for Rahu and Ketu:

(1) Offering a sweet parantha (Indian pancake stuffed with sugar and then fried) OR a piece of brown cake to crows/birds daily in the morning after morning prayers for Rahu.

(2) Offering four slices of bread dipped in milk to street dogs daily in the morning after prayers, OR a donation to a dog shelter once every three months for Ketu.

(3) Giving food to lepers once a week on Fridays for Rahu.

(4) Donations to an organization looking after old aged persons for Rahu and Ketu.

When the Sun, Jupiter and/or Sun-like planets are strong in the natal chart, the person easily benefits from the astral remedies. The Sun represents will-power, vitality and leadership. Jupiter represents divine grace.  One's satisfactory financial position enables one to control basic human instincts of greed, anger, pride, lust, etc., and generates positive personality traits like kindness, honesty, sincerity, benevolence, contentment, etc.  A contented person is in a position to progress physically, intellectually, morally and spiritually.  Progress enables the optimum use of an individual's life.  The conservation, protection and promotion of good human values results in the progress of nations and humanity as a whole.  In Kaliyuga, one who controls the basic instincts of greed, anger, pride and lust, and performs his/her duties sincerely and honestly, is considered to be in the service of God.  This shows how important is the study of the financial position in a nativity and the approach to enhance the financial prospects.

To analyze the financial prospects of a person from the horoscope, we look for the strength of planets ruling the houses especially indicating finance i.e. the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 5th, 8th, 10th and 11th houses. We consider those houses which contain mooltrikona signs and the strength of the lords of these houses. We also consider the planets placed in the houses signifying financial gains and the wealth giving planets, the Moon and Jupiter. Besides being significators of wealth, the operating planetary periods of the lords of the houses ruling finance indicate the sources of finance be it through inheritance, business, job, professional services, investments, etc.  The strong planets generate good finances when they are strong and well-placed in transit during the course of their operating periods. When the dhanakaraka (wealth giving planet) acts as a functional malefic planet, if forming close conjunction/aspect with other planets or the most effective point of any house, instead of being helpful, it will be detrimental for growth. The close influence of Rahu on well-placed fairly strong planets gives sudden and phenomenal growth. This sudden growth is vulnerable for sudden setbacks, too. The recovery of such sudden setbacks is mostly difficult.

For the better understanding of the concepts discussed here we take up some case studies:

He was trying to move to a foreign land for a number of years but was unsuccessful due to the afflicted Mercury and weakness of the lord of the fifth house. The weakness of the lord of the fifth house delays selection. The native met with us during February, 1995. He was advised on the regular performance of propitiatory/peace making remedies for Rahu, Ketu and Mercury and strengthening of the weak Saturn. He became selected in his desired assignment in early July, 1995, and he was informed of the selection in the interview itself. The native was very happy. Later due to the strength of his other planets, he rose to the level of the head of the organization.

CONCLUSION

All our current actions are likely to be our “fixed” karmas of future. Wise people are always conscious and aware when they think, speak and act, so that in every moment they can use all their free will. For having true and sound financial success, we should every morning: (1) Do our morning cleansing wash; (2) do our prayers to the Lord; (3) perform the peace-making remedies for functional malefic planets according to our own chart; and (4) during the day practice the divine way in life i.e. be content; increase utility to humanity; help the poor and needy; be kind, generous and benevolent; and avoid deeper involvement in sensual pleasures, anger, pride, greed and envy. Only satvic pure actions will neutralize rajasic and tamasic actions of past lives. So being really ambitious means doing everything we can to increase the natural flow of satvic actions in our lives. The remedial measures are the real help to augment our financial resources. They are the very reason for astrology.
