Regarding the Second House

The second house is the significator of wealth and speech. Domestic happiness is also its signification.

If the second house is a benefic sign and if the second house is tenanted by benefics and if the second lord is in a quadrant or a trine, he will become immensely rich with oratorial prowess.  

If the Ascendant lord is weak and if the second lord is weak with malefics posited in 6,8,12 houses, he will be poor and helpless. If the second lord is exalted in a quadrant or trine, and if that sign ispositor is powerfully posited in benefic houses, he will have remendous wealth and will  protect a lot of people.  If the second lord is aspected by benefics and is posited in a quadrant or  trine, he will be handsome. If not, he will be ugly and wicked.  If the second lord is aspected by malefics  and is with malefics, he will  stammer and stutter.  If the second lord is with malefics, is posited in the tenth with an  afflicted Sun, and if Mars and the Sun are posited in the second house,  his speech will be afflicted and he will be rejected by others.

Astrology, Holistic Medicine & Ayurveda  

Why holistic health practices fail or succeed partially Main reason for the failure of holisitc health practices is that Prana or Life Energy does not flow freely within the individual or between the individual & the universal life, owing to the presence of obstructions within.These obstructions are caused by Samskaras, psychic memories or residual traces of our past actions and experiences. Samskaras are of two kinds, those which only produce memories ( smriti ) of past experiences and those which produce impulses or drives to repeat these experiences ( vasanas) . These two are interlinked to form complex patterns of love, hate, fear etc. It is these complexes that obstruct the free flow of Life-Energy in us.  

Removing Mental Blocks  

Many of these complexes are formed in childhood and adolescence. Then unpleasant or traumatic experiences take place, the tendency of a child or teenager is to repress them. Repression is a form of pushing the psychic memories into the unconscious regions of the mind. The growing youth may not be able to recollect those psychic memories again, but the repressed samskaras lodged in the hidden recesses of the unconscious go on creating psychological and psychosomatic problems for him. All psychosomatic disorders cannot be cured by holistic health tech- iques unless these repressed complexities are ferreted out and onfronted. The past samskaras should be deactivated. For this the seeker has to dive deep into his unconscious & encounter the past experiences and deactivate them. Most people find it difficult to do it without the active help of a competent guide. Those who depend on the Ocean of Consciousness ( the Absolute or God ) may , however, find that these inner blocks are removed by Divine Grace.This is the rationale behind faith healing & miraculous cures.  

Extension of Consciousness  

Life,a gift from the Divine, is a great healing power. Nothing ever begins to be; Substance merely undergoes a parallel transformation into conditions which pre-existed in other conditions. Life, similarly, does not begin to be. As Energy, as per the Law of Conservation of Energy or Matter cannot be created or destroyed, so too is Life Eternal.  

At the physical level, the eternal healing power of life manifests itself as

a) Self-renewal

b) The immune system.

For many years it has been known that the body can filter and re-use its fluids & repair damages to tissues, especially skin and bone, by growing new cells. Modern Science has shown that self-renewal is constantly taking place in every part of the body. Almost all the cells in the body are constantly being replaced by new ones. Somebody said " I am not the same person I was one year ago"! The entire body gets renewed in this way every year & this shows that it is never too late to regain your health. By changing one's basic attitudes and way of living, the damage to the body caused by years of misuse & neglect can be overcome. One the great marvels of the universe is the human immune system. Those who are aware of the biochemical processes going on in the body will agree with Walt Whitman " To me every hour of the day & night is an unspeakably perfect miracle". Dr Walter Cannon said " The Wisdom of the body is the most precise of all selective refinements" !

The Components ( Four Units ) of our Immune System

The fourfold immune system consists of the following units;

1 The granulocyte-macrophage unit

2. The lymphocyte unit  

3. The antibody unit  

4. The complement unit  

The first two are varieties of white blood corpuscles, wherein the last two are chemicals, proteins. All the four units of our immune system launch a concerted attack on the invaders as soon as a few bacteria break into any tissue in the body. ( The antibody unit has been defined as an army of one million) Western medical science is wondering who masterminds this attack or who plans these strategies. Common sense, logic, intuition & experience suggest that somewhere behind all this there must be a master control. Why do sometimes cells become malignant and attack neighbouring cells ? Why it goes awry, sometimes,when our defence units attack innocent cells mistaking them for enemy microbes ? Western medical science is researching hard to find answers to these difficult questions.

Astrology & Yoga  

Yoga is derived from the word "Yuj" which means to unite. Union with Cosmic Creative Intelligence is the aim of Yoga. The Fourfold Yoga has been prescribed for Cosmic Union in Oriental Philosophies.  

They are  

1. Union via Action ( Karma Yoga )

2. Union via Psychic Control ( Raja Yoga )

3. Union via Universal Love ( Bhakthi Yoga )

4. Union via Wisdom ( Jnana Yoga )  

Union via Action is for the person of active temparament.  

Union via Psychic Contro is for the person of adventurous temparament  

Union via Universal Love is for the person of emotional temparament.  

Union via Wisdom is for the person of intellectual temparament.  

These four paths are not different from one another. They are all part of the Fourfold Yoga. Certain qualities are to be inculcated in the seeker if he is to achieve the Ultimate Goal. Prajna has been defined as the discriminative intellect. When the intellect discriminates between the Real & the Unreal. The intellect which discriminates between Being and Non-Being. This quality should be incorporated by the Intellectual Man if he is to progress in the path of Jnana Yoga.

Love is defined as the greatest of all the positive qualities of man. This quality is to be incorporated by the Emotional Man if he is to progress in the field of Bhakthi Yoga.  

Control of Mind or   Psychic Control through   Raja Yoga should be incorporated by the Adventurous Man if he is to progress in the field of Raja Yoga.  

Selfless Service should be incorporated by the Active Man if he is to progress in the field of Karma Yoga.  

In other words, since the Fourfold Yoga has been prescribed for mankind , all these four great qualities - Selfless service, love, psychic control & the discriminative intellect should be incorporated by the spiritual aspirant to develop in the field of Yoga.  

Yoga was defined by Aurobindo as a methodic process towards self-perfection through a development of the latent potential at the five levels of Being - physical, vital, mental, intellectual & spiritual. Normal man lives only in the first three sheaths - physical, vital & mental. Only when we use our hidden spiritual potential - the intell- ectual & the bliss sheaths - can be unfold our full mental potential.

Astrology & Occult Vibratory Chemistry ( Tantra )  

Vedanta focusses on the Sat ( Existence ) aspect of Absolute Being. Tantra, on the other hand, focusses on the Chit ( Knowledge ) aspect of Being. The Existence aspect is absolutely absolute while the Knowledge aspect takes care of the Absolute and the Relative.

Books as the repository of all knowledge  

The outpourings of the Intuitive Mind came to be known as great Literature, the rise and flow of Eternal Wisdom. While the Rational Mind of man focussed on Science, the Intuitive Mind of mind focussed on the supra-mundane, the sublime, the divine. Poetry was defined as the fulness of generation of Beauty. All knowledge of both the Rational and the Intuitive Minds were recorded as books, which remain as the source of all information.
