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 fullness 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.
