WAITING FOR GODOT AND ASTROLOGY
By Barry Rosen
Now we have a number of troublesome transits happening with the Saturn /Solar conjunction and combustion, Mars out of bounds and Mercury retrograde in Pisces and we’re transferring towards the Pisces Stellium into early April with 6 planets in Pisces.
Sure it’ll get higher and we nonetheless have exalted Venus defending us and Jupiter is now robust within the D9 Chart within the Most cancers part the place religious knowledge and good luck thrives.
The religious masters remind us to stay within the current and I’m at all times writing about not being victimized by the planets. I’m reminded of educating school literature and a really great French play that’s nonetheless fairly common, Ready for Godot
Samuel Beckett’s seminal play involving two hobo-like characters ready for the arrival of Godot, an embodiment of dwelling in hope of the longer term fairly than embracing the current and the existential void is a trademark in world literature and a reminder of our plight on the planet.
The planets are faculties and lecturers and their transits arrange karmic circumstances in order that we will do it higher this time. It’s like Invoice Murray within the 1993 film, Groundhog Day. Will he study kindness and compassion this time or proceed to get up the identical grumpy outdated weatherman who treats individuals terribly? Are we going to make new and higher decisions this time or repeat the identical patterns and undergo?
I usually get individuals ready for his or her subsequent massive cycle to begin. Will probably be higher when my Jupiter interval comes and after I depart Rahu. If I can simply get out of my Ketu interval, then my life will get higher. Many occasions that is years down the highway and the brand new cycle could not convey all that it hoped for.
There are uncommon charts and uncommon durations the place the whole lot is engaged on all cylinders. Life is fairly blended. Relationships may go in a single interval however well being and work are challenged. Life is so usually a sophisticated combine and you’ll see this within the Varga or divisional chart the place Jupiter interval could shine with a powerful placement within the D-10 or profession chart however relationships could not work.
The malefic planets that trigger us struggling are in the end great highschool coaches inflicting short-term ache to maneuver us on to turning into a higher particular person. The problem is whether or not we’re prepared to embrace our challenges and alter our lives and make troublesome choices or can we act like Didi and Gogo within the Beckett play and preserve ready for the arrival of Godot that can one way or the other magically save our lives?
The malefic planets are our pals if we embrace their classes and that takes the braveness of a powerful Mars and the need to battle and transfer out of our struggling and slightly grace and assist from Venus and Jupiter is at all times welcome. When they aren’t round, we nonetheless have to search out the vitality, readability, and braveness to maneuver out of our issues. God is there to assist if we’re prepared to take step one and alter our lives.
Extra importantly, we cannot stay our lives ready for one thing to get higher sooner or later. Now we have to make adjustments within the current and be higher individuals, do the fitting factor, and never make the identical errors. The transits will repeat yearly or so to check us and see if we now have risen to the event to make new decisions and create a greater life.
Sure, it’s good to have good transits however the malefics are additionally our pals they usually power us to study troublesome classes. Everybody fears Saturn as a result of he teaches accountability, self-discipline, exhausting work and endurance, and stability amid struggling. After all, we might fairly social gathering on a regular basis and search pleasure with Venus however should you go on trip and meet people who find themselves rich and drink all day on the seaside, and should you get to know them, their lives are sometimes fairly empty. While you meet individuals who have gone by way of a whole lot of Saturn occasions, they’ve nice depth and there’s something alive and contemporary and genuine about them. Struggling builds character and makes us the nice those that we’re.
Folks usually assume that yagyas and mantras are magic bullets that can resolve all their issues. They might help very a lot however they largely loosen the grip on our thoughts in order that we will take motion and transfer by way of our points — however we now have to take motion to create a greater life for ourselves. We nonetheless should make these powerful decisions and we will create new good karma for the longer term by serving to others and tithing and that is important.
So embrace your Sade Sat, your Saturn interval, your Rahu, and your Mars and Ketu, and notice they’re your good pals. They’re the powerful coaches at college that’s molding you right into a profitable athlete that can pay dividends down the highway. Reside within the current second and revel in no matter planetary presents which can be there. There are at all times presents and generally we now have to dig deep to see that however the presents are there. Take pleasure in and see the sport on this great world and loosen the grip of struggling with yoga and meditation and good deeds and Godot could lastly arrive even in your Saturn interval. Have an ideal day!
