Karma and Reincarnation and Setting Goals this Year
My Goal in this life is to manifest the Devi Sampadas: 28 Hindu God-like Qualities.
These injunctions are found in the 40 Virtues, Plato’s Republic (Book IV, 426-435), Aristotle’s Nicomachean Ethics, Stoics and Cicero, Ten Commandments (Christian, Jewish), Decalogue (Greek, Septuagint) Four Noble Truths (Buddhism), The Egyptian Book of the Dead.
The Yoga Sutras teaches that all sin and error lies in Lobha (greed), Moha (delusion), and Krodha (anger) and this leads to Distraction from Yoga (connection to the Devine), to Avidya (lack of insight or ignorance).
Whereas the practice of the Virtues helps your own realization and your fellow man.
The forms of Avidya (lack of insight) that perpetuate the Cycle of Ignorance are Attachment, Fear and Egoism, Selfishness, Ignorance and Wrong-Doing that lead to Sickness, Suffering, Confusion, Irregular breathing, Pain, Laziness and Despair.
Live a Virtuous, Moral and Healthy Life
To escape the Wheel of Karma, wise moral choices are required to change direction. But understand that even a small choice in this Kali Yuga period has effect and comfort.
Like driving in an old car on a rutted road, you tend to follow bad habits in life, reinforcing the Wheel of Karma: the perpetuation of suffering caused by wrong action in this life or previous lives.
The Yogic path requires Knowledge, high mindedness, the practice of discrimination, and right action, proper exercise and relaxation, and leads towards a virtuous, moral and healthy life
Proof of Reincarnation
Vedic Astrology is my one scientific proof of Karma and Reincarnation
I could not do what I do and surprise people with their detailed Astrology without Reincarnation
Astrology provides Information that I couldn’t possibly know – some is so personal it is their secret
Such as sexual abuse when young (Mars in the 12th house)
And it is a great validation to have someone recognize that burden.
Or the chart of Gloria and Brian: I predicted Gloria had a sick child. An AHA moment. I diagnosed Brian had Agoraphobia and was afraid to leave his bedroom: He was running Venus into Ketu.
However, Brian has Jupiter Venus Sun in 10th house of Career: So n 2018 I predicted he will have a Successful Career and Charisma. In 2019 he was to run Sun Dasha and have Success. I returned in 2019 to find him on the lawn talking to neighbors having founded a successful business.
He was then running different planets in the Dasha and Bhukti system. An AHA moment
Your Astrology is a road map of your present life based upon the various levels of Karma:
Predicts if you will be a saint or sinner of both and when
Information revealed by Vedic Astrology from time (given within 15 minutes) & date & location of Birth
Take away: You are born at a certain time to fulfill your destiny and face past Karma both Good and Evil – to do better or like Groundhog Day come back until you get it right.
The sooner you know your destiny, your strengths & challenges, the better will be the outcome
Types of Karma
Karma is a concept of Hinduism that describes beneficial effects that spring from past and present beneficial acts and harmful effects from past or present harmful actions
Karma acts through a soul’s reincarnated lives, forming a cycle of rebirth and death
Karma is said to apply not only to the material world but also to our intellectual life: thoughts, words, deeds, and actions that others do under our instructions.
It is said in the Puranas that where Saturn the Lord of Karma is placed in your chart gives insight into the force of Karma in your chart & the challenges and opportunities faced.
Origins of Karma – Karma is a Hindu concept first found in the Rigveda many thousands of years ago. It declares that you are ‘constituted’ by your desires,
An early use of the term Karma is provided in the Upanishads. In the Brhadaranyaka, the earliest of the Upanishads, the Vedic theologian Yajnavalkya expressed:
“A man turns into something good by good action and into something bad by bad action.”
Karma is based on the transmigration of the soul and fateful retribution for actions.
Example: Saturn in the 9th house is good for awareness: The placement of Saturn in the ninth house can make the natives religious, pious and spiritually inclined. These individuals may treat life as an over-stretched journey that leads to self-realization. They have a conservative outlook towards life and their philosophy is quite traditional. They are more likely to stand for orthodox opinions.
E.g.: If you were born 8 hours before: Saturn in the 5th house produces seriously sick children.
Drude (Heavy) Karma takes many lifetimes to conquer. Adrude Karma will take less effort
Definitions of Karma: Everything that we have ever thought, spoken, done or caused is Karma
There are Four different types of karma: Sanchita, Prarabdha and Kriyamana and Agami Karma
Sanchita Karma is the Accumulated Karma of all your Lifetimes.
It would be impossible to experience and endure all these Sanchjta karma in one lifetime.
Prarabdha Karma is experienced through the present body and is only a part of Sanchita karma that is ripe and to be addressed this lifetime.
Prarabdha Karma is a collection of past Sanchita karmas that your soul selected to be experienced through this present body, in this present life. From this stock of Sanchita karma, a handful is taken out to address in one lifetime and this handful of actions, which have begun to bear fruit and which will be exhausted only on their fruit being enjoyed or addressed is known as Prarabdha karma.
Prarabdha Karma is past Life Karma shown by the Position of your Ketu in your Vedic Chart.
Prarabdha Karma: Known as the ‘purpose’ karma of this present lifetime, where the purpose is to fulfill the karmic dues, experiences and lessons set out for this incarnation. Prarabdha Karma are those lessons and experiences that we must absolutely face in this lifetime, no questions asked.
Prarabdha Karma is akin to a scoop of Karma taken from the massive pool of Sanchita Karma
Kriyamana (Present Karma): Every thought word, deed, decision & action we create in our current life.
All Kriyamana karmas flow from Sanchita karma and consequently shapes our future.
Kriyamana is the karma we are creating with our desires. Kriyamana karma, or present karma, refers more specifically to the instantaneous or immediate Kriyamana Karma the consequences of your actions and is represented by the position of Rahu in your Vedic Chart.
Distinction can be made between Kriyamana Karma that emphasizes the cause-and-effect between your actions and their immediate results and Agami Karma: future karma generated by your current actions and choices with consequences later in this lifetime or in future lifetimes.
How does Karma become Ripe? For something to happen to you, you need 3 influences
- A Planet in a house controls a Concern: Mars in the 12th house means the Loss of Freedom
- Run the particular Planets Dasha (running Mars Dasha) or Mars Bhukti (Saturn into Mars)
- The Transit of the planets across that House – Then you go to jail for as long as the Sanchita Karma lasts be for a Month as Mars transits the 12th House. An AHA moment
Tulsidas, a Hindu saint, said: “Our destiny was shaped long before the body came into being.” We do have Free Will: Limited to how Aware and Disciplined we are and the Weight of Karma
As long as the stock of Sanchita Karma lasts, there is the cycle of birth and death.
Part of Sanchita Karma is taken as Prarabdha karma for being enjoyed or endured this lifetime,.
A Jiva (Soul) cannot attain moksha (liberation) from the cycle of birth and death, until the accumulated Sanchita Karmas are completely exhausted.
All Astrological Yogas indicate past Karma – the position of planets in your chart control Impulses and influences the trajectory of this life
Example: Katlyn’s astrology, she has Rahu in the 12th house. We predicted Kaitlyn has real knowledge/focus on 12th house issues of death. Without knowing her Vedic Chart she already does elaborate death ceremonies to gain insight. An AHA moment revealed from her chart. But she was als warned she has a dangerous Yoga: From one act of anger she could lose Everything, house home and family.
Rahu in Vedic Astrology represents Desires you pursue this lifetime.
So Rahu is a blessing or a curse depending on the house that is in. Be careful what you wish for.
If you deeply desire something, you will manifest it in your lives, now or in the future.
Rahu’s position in any house or with the lord of any house shows deep attachment with the area covered by that house. For example, Rahu in the fourth house denotes the native’s desire for luxury and comfort. Similarly, in the fifth house, the native has a deep desire towards children.
Only in human life, can we change our future destiny. After death, we lose Kriya Shakti (the ability to physically act) and Kriyamana (actions) karma until we are born again in human body.
Rahu is considered to give inauspicious results when sitting in the 6th, 8th, or 12th houses in the horoscope. These houses are often associated with challenges, obstacles, and hidden enemies. However, the overall impact of Rahu’s placement also depends on its aspects, conjunctions, and the overall planetary alignment in the birth chart.
Rahu is considered auspicious if placed in the 5th, 9th, 7th or 10th house of a native birth chart without any malefic effects, it gives powerful and good results.
Rahu is exalted in Taurus and debilitated in Scorpio. Its Moolatrikona sign is Virgo. Rahu gives good results in Upachaya houses of the third, sixth, tenth, and eleventh. Rahu is good in earthy signs as well as airy signs of Taurus, Gemini, Libra, Virgo, Capricorn, and Aquarius.
Rahu is the Karaka (significator) of foreign lands.
Rahu in any house of the birth chart denotes you are likely to travel abroad for job, study or leisure travel when running the Rahu Mahadasha depending on that house significators
Ketu tries to make you a saint by fair means or foul: by making life miserable in a materialistic house or auspicious in a religious house. So Ketu can also be a blessing or curse depending on the house it occupies. Ketu is the crown chakra representing moksha, enlightenment, freedom from bonds of desire, and the material world. Ketu behaves like Mars in the third house giving good results. Amazingly good results come from Mars being the main karaka. You are hard-working. No siblings are indicated.
magnifies results When placed with benefic planets of Jupiter, Venus, Mercury in their sign in the third house. The magnification is almost five times, making you successful in life.
Ketu in the challenging sixth house of debt. Enemies and disease, you will emerge victorious and will be protected from enemies & gain victory over others. Good health & longevity are predicted.
Ketu in the challenging eighth house of ill health and enemies promotes non attachment in this house of Moksha and spirituality, the eighth house leads you to seek secrets of occult science and spirituality
.But Ketu may also bring out the sudden rise and sudden downfall, sudden increase in wealth or the possibility of struggles, accidents, and misery.
Ketu in the ninth house of religion and father: will prompt religious activities and with Ketu in a good sign, unlocks fate and fortune. However relations with Father will be tested
Ketu in the eleventh house will prompt wealth and spiritual success, earning wealth from various sources. The eleventh house generally gives good results from all planets. Planets like Venus, Jupiter, Mercury in their sign in the house conjunct with Ketu, give amazing wealth.
Ketu in the twelfth house will promote spirituality but also is associated with losses, hospitals, isolation, expenditure and, moksha. While not an auspicious house, Ketu in the 12th gives good results. It gives moksha liberation. Being in the house of moksha, Ketu is strong and you are spiritual, helping the society, donating. You may be also a visionary being able to understand the future
Astrological Yogas indicate Past Karma: The Pancha Mahapurusha Yoga:
Kaitlyn, you has one of the five Astrological Yogas distinctive of Great Souls: the Pancha Mahapurusha Yogas, which exist when Mars, Mercury, Jupiter and Venus occupies its own or exaltation constellation in an angular or trinal house: for (Mars ‘luster, splendor, desire, taste’), Bhadra (Mercury auspicious), Hamsa (Jupiter ‘goose’ or ‘swan’), Malavya (Venus, graceful, strong mind) and Shasha (Saturn ‘hare’) Yogas (Phaladipika 6:2-4):
The more auspicious Yogas that are in a horoscope, the more likely it will be for you to be someone of note who will rise through life to be powerful and prosperous. For this to happen, it is important for the Dashas (planetary period); of the Grahas (planets) involved occur at the appropriate periods of life. The Grahas involved in the Yogas must be strong and not weak because of combustion, not placed in unfriendly Rashis or inauspicious Avasthanas, or weak in sub-charts.
The less malefics interfere with such a Yoga, the more you will experience its energies
Mars Ruchaka MahaPurusha Yoga: You may have a long face, will acquire wealth by doing many daring deeds, will be brave, will overcome enemies, and will be powerful and arrogant. Will become renowned for your merits, will be a leader of an army, and will emerge victorious in many attempts.
The Dharma – Karma Adhipati Yogas: Another class of astrological Yogas for which Jyotishis always look for are the Dharma – Karma Adhipati Yogas, the ‘Combinations of the Fortune and Action’. This yoga is formed when the dharma house (Kona) and a karma house (Kendra) combine in a horoscope, either by aspect or by association.
‘Karma’ means action, and ‘Dharma’ indicates fortune,
Real success in life appears when there is a felicitous conjunction of Effort with Luck?Karma.
But Cosmically there is no such thing as Coincidence & no such thing as Luck. There is Destiny
Enterprise alone is no guarantee of achievement, nor can chance alone be relied upon; but when both combine, the whole truly becomes greater than the sum of its parts.
Napoleon considering promoting a General to the rank of Marshal asked, ‘Yes, but is he lucky?’
Raja Yogas: Blessings from Spiritual births elevate your status this life
Kamajiva Yogas: These are skill you accomplished that you bring forward from a previous successful life. These are types of jobs you can do easily in this life and have done in previous lives.
Many such Kamajiva, Raja Yogas and Yogas representing Curses and Cures indicate old souls
Sun Kamajiva Yoga: Charisma, scented articles, gold, medicines, father.
Moon Kamajiva Yoga: Skills of the Mind, agriculture, watery products, coral, pearls, women.
Mars Kamajiva Yoga: Martial Arts, minerals, fire, fireworks, weapons, adventures, strength.
Mercury Kamajiva Yoga: Intellect, writing, mathematics, poetry, painter, sculptor, architect, mechanic.
Jupiter Kamajiva Yoga: Education, knowledge, law, religion, temples, charities, spiritual pursuits.
Venus Kamajiva Yoga: Beauty, gems, silver, cows, pleasure, women
Saturn Kamajiva Yoga: Not scared of hard work
The effects of each Yoga is seen in the Dashas and Bhukti period when at planet is activated: so refer to the tables of Dashas & Bhuktis to predict when a particular Yoga will emerge
A Retrograde planet indicates that the lesson was not fully addressed last lifetime.
So generate good Karma by Mastering many Skills, Resolve all Concerns and Enmity, and
Manifest the Daivi Sampadas this human life to inspire Divinity this life, next life & hereafter
