LIFE IS LIKE GROUNDHOG DAY–GETTING IT RIGHT WITH OUR STRONG AND WEAK PLANETS

Punxsutawney Phil didn’t see his shadow in entrance of hundreds of spectators Friday morning at Gobbler’s Knob in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, a part of the annual Groundhog Day custom celebrated within the U.S. and Canada. Which means, in response to the legend, we’re in for an early spring

Groundhog Day (1993) is considered one of my all-time favourite films. If you’re not acquainted with the film, Invoice Murray performs a weatherman who goes to Pennsylvania each February to see if the groundhog will see his shadow. Invoice is boorish, impolite, and insults his workers. He will get trapped in a nightmare the place he can’t go away the city and wakes up on the similar time to the identical foolish tune on the clock radio and has to relive the identical day. Since he can’t die, he retains making unhealthy decisions at first like overeating or driving a automotive off of a cliff. However because the film goes on, he takes up piano, saves folks’s lives, turns into an unimaginable romantic and the entire city all of the sudden appears as much as him as a mannequin citizen.

The film is a cinematic seminar in studying to be a form, creative, and inventive humanitarian. It turns into a metaphor for reincarnation and overcoming our unfavorable qualities of selfishness, habit, and rudeness. When we’ve got a poorly positioned planet or planet in our chart, it’s as if we had not realized the teachings of that college. Whether it is Jupiter, it could be round youngsters, respect of Gurus, judgment or knowledge. When the planet goes weak in transit, it brings up classes for that college. Are we going to do it otherwise this time? Are we going to deliver out the planet’s larger values?  We’re right here to work on our weak planets and our robust ones are our skills, which we’re right here to share with the world. Folks generally boast they’ve an exalted or a well-placed planet and if that’s the case, you might have realized the teachings of that planet and it’s change into a expertise and a present to be shared with others, meant to be shared as our service to humanity.

This isn’t about ego. In actuality, I hardly ever see an ideal planet. Exalted planets typically have an excessive amount of energy and trigger issues equivalent to somebody with an exalted Solar being too highly effective with an excessive amount of ego and never with the ability to see their blind spot.  Folks could complain a few debilitated Solar in Libra however its constructive aspect, if not badly positioned or is that it could make you a really lovely and humble individual that likes working along with others.  Moderately than blame the planet, study what classes you didn’t grasp previously and get it proper this time. Like that great Invoice Murray film, Groundhog Day, get out of your nightmare by being kinder and serving to others after which you’ll not endure. The planets simply need us to get it proper this time so we wouldn’t have to get up in the identical nightmare each morning. We’re right here to work on our weak planets. It’s by no means straightforward however generally we see charts of individuals born with troublesome placements within the 12thhouse they usually have change into very profitable in life as they’ve used their weaknesses and overcome adversities. Certainly one of my greatest pals who had polio at age 4 was confined to a wheelchair and by no means developed a lot of her regular physique but she went on to be a profitable lawyer who advocated for battered girls and the disabled. In this type of a case, a poor Rashi chart placement could present up robust within the D-9 chart suggesting {that a} beginning chart weak point has a superb probability to be strengthened later in life. We aren’t doomed to be the weaknesses of our beginning chart!
