Do not put Wisdom in a Box

Divine wisdom comes in all shapes and forms. There is no one right way to divine wisdom and knowledge. There are many paths. What does your heart tell you?

Whatever your heart tells you then follow that path. Do not let others make that choice for you. You must make that choice yourself in an intelligent way.

There are many churches and religions that say theirs is the only path to God, or the only right way to salvation or what not. I think it is sad to put God in a box and say that there is only ONE way to reach Him. God is infinite, eternal, without attributes, and impossible to describe in words. So how could one religion or church claim that theirs is the only path?

Follow your heart. Wisdom can be found in ANY religion or church. Unfortunately, sometimes religions are judged based on the actions of individuals who follow those religions. Do no focus on the individuals. Focus on the sacred writings. Read the sacred scriptures. If you focus on the individuals who follow such and such tradition or religious movement then you will be forever deluded and confused. You will not be able to avoid judging and forming endless ideas in your mind that are no good to your spiritual path.

Read the sacred writings and go from there. Take what calls you at this moment in time. Something that calls you now may be different from something that may have called you five years ago or that will call to you five years from now.

This is the reason it is foolish to say only one religion is right. Different aspects of wisdom will reach different individuals at different stages of their lives at different times. Putting wisdom in a box will limit your learning and your spiritual path.

Take what calls to you now and meditate on that piece of wisdom. Then there will be no limit to your spiritual growth.

Rahu/Venus Conjunction in Paula Abdul's Vedic Astrology Chart

Julie Paula Abdul Date and Time of Birth: June 19, 1962 14:32 (2:32 PM; PTD -7:00) Place of Birth: Los Angeles, CA Paula Abdul is a famous American singer. She is a prime example of a person having a Rahu-Venus combination. According to Barbara Pijan Lama, Rahu- Venus gives “amplified beauty, pleasure, and wealth – an exotic (and perhaps notorious) love life”; as well as “exotic appetites of the physical body (addictions, excessive pleasures)”. For one thing we know she has beauty and wealth, no questions asked. As for a notorious love life, this comes along with being famous. In Paula’s case, she unfortunately is not the exception and has had two failed marriages which did not make it past the two-year mark. What are the reasons for this? If we take a look at her chart things seem to be somewhat clear-cut. Her 7thlord of relationships Jupiter is in the 6th house of obstacles. Its despositor (lord of that house) Saturn is with the nodes of the moon, Ketu and Rahu...

Moon in Swati Nakshatra

Do you have Moon in Swati Nakshatra? Swati Nakshatra is ruled by Vayu, or deified wind. Therefore, this Nakshatra's Shakti (power of expression) is to scatter like the wind. It expresses the desire for freedom and to move like the wind in all directions. It is a wanderer, a traveler, a seeker, and a messenger. If you have Moon in this Nakshatra, you do not like to be constrained in any one place or situation. You will try to run away if you feel like a situation or person is trying to tie you down. And you may not do this consciously. It is just that you are on a quest for freedom and fresh air. Vayu represents the divine breath of the gods. A strong Moon placed here will give you the ability to purify your mind and body through the power of breathing exercises effortlessly. You may have a natural talent for achieving deep meditative states through Pranayama. Vayu also represents celestial music and you will show a desire or inclination towards music and artisti...

How are Divisional Charts Used in Vedic Astrology? Jackie Kennedy's Chart

There is a lot of contradiction on how divisional charts are used in Jyotish. Some astrologers only look at the sign a planet is placed in. They then look at the lord of that sign and see if it is strong or weak in the Rasi chart. However, they claim that Yogas and Aspects are not to be used in divisional charts. This is one section that I strongly disagree with. And I abide by my teacher, James Kelleher, in the way he uses divisional charts. A divisional chart should be read exactly like a birth chart, but in relation to the particular chart you are looking at. So if you are looking a the Navamsha, it stands for spouse. If you are looking at the D-7 chart, it stands for children. If you are looking at the D-10 chart it stands for career. So the particular Yoga in the chart will focus in on only that area of your life. Let us take an example at why we analyze a divisional chart just as we analyze a Rasi chart, including Yogas and asp...
