Question 1

What are some indications of a strong willed person in a birth chart?

Accepted Answer

If you look back history, all the success people without any exception had a strong willpower. Many think willpower to make a strong decision lies at conscious level but it mainly depends on subconscious programming.

The scientists show that most of our decisions, actions, emotions and behavior depend on the 95% of brain activity that is beyond our conscious awareness, which means that 95 – 99% of our life comes from the programming in our subconscious mind.

Neuroscientist now proved that affirmation of one particular thought for a long time can create new neural connections and thus the subconscious mind is programmed to act accordingly.

To understand this, let me give a simple example. When you learn to drive a car, for the first few weeks you will be consciously pressing the clutch, changing the gears in traffic. But after you become profilic in driving, you may be thinking about something else but still without your awareness you would be pressing the clutch and changing gears in the traffic. The same holds good for willpower. If someone practice to have a strong willpower for quite some time then it will become a habit.

Moon is the karaka for Mind. The strong moon will make a person to strict to affirmation and thus to develop a new habit. Even if the chart has number of afflictions including many debilitated planets, a strong Moon and strong Lagna lord is sufficient to have strong willpower to overcome all the hurdles in life.

In addition to the Moon, Mars rules courage and Jupiter rules wisdom. So well placed Mars and Jupiter in the horoscope will give additional strength in executing the plan with courage and balance.

Question 2

If astrology was true, why aren't the astrologers the most successful people?

Accepted Answer

You have presumed that astrology will make someone to be successful without any effort. Thinking astrology as a magical tool to achieve success in life is no more than ignorance. Think about following scenarios,

If modern medicine is flawless then why doctors get disease?

If priest in temple takes care of daily rituals of god then why they can’t magically get anything?

If teachers would know answers to every question, then why don’t they go and clear all the tough exams in the country?

In all the above scenario, people are doing service. Doctors have compassion for patients, teachers have great intention for their students success and astrologer have great wisdom to help people to understand their karma.

Secondly do you think successful is all about acquiring material things?

If having wealth is the ultimate success in life then why suicidal incidents happen for billionaires.

In my personal experience, anyone who practices astrology(with right spirit) will have strong Jupiter which is the planet of wisdom. A good astrologer will always have great wisdom of life, they will be matured enough to differentiate material success and content that comes through compassion and caring.

There are few unethical astrologer who may be making lot of money by cheating common people, which is true in any other profession like doctors who fears his patients, teachers who abuses his students etc.

So In summary, astrology is not magical tool to get success with short cuts and it is never meant to be. Astrology is a wonder tool to understand our past karma, so that we can alter our present act to create beautiful future and the true astrologer would help their client to identify the same.

Question 3

How can I strengthen my astrologically weak moon?

Accepted Answer

First of all, please understand that you should always focus on strengthening yourself, not the Moon(or in fact any planet). So it is appropriate to rephrase the questions like this “How can I strengthen myself in case of the weak moon in the horoscope?”

The Moon is the karaka for the mind. Every human has tremendous potential,infinite potential that is necessary, which is waiting for development and expression. The strong Moon taps the potential inside through positive thoughts and emotions, whereas weak Moon usually drains your energy by thinking about worst case scenarios.

People with weaker Moon and afflicted Moon will usually have a magnifying glass to picture the worst case scenarios, thus the negative thoughts would normally take over the situation. The weak Moon afflicted by Rahu would create depression and anxiety problems. The depression is usually created when a person constantly rewinds his bad past incidents in the mind's eye. The anxiety or fear is usually associated with thinking about worst-case scenarios of the future. In either case, the problem is mainly due to not living in the present. So developing consciousness in the best way to strengthen yourself.

How to overcome depression problems due to weak and afflicted Moon?

The body is an unconscious mind, it will not know the difference between the fear or anxiety created by the real situation or by thought alone. When your mind constantly rewinds a past incident then your body will think that the bad incident keep happening every day and hence it will be preparing you for the survival mode which may produce tremendous amount of stress on you.

Nature has given a capability for every creature to pass through stress for a short period of time. If you watch zebra in the forest, it will run for 20 to 30 mins to save itself from Lion, once escaped then it will start eating grass and its body will go into growth mode. But we humans are generating stress by thought alone(ex: thinking about the past incident, thinking about our boss in the office, etc) and hence the body is always be working in survival mode which is one of the primary reason for all health issues accompanied by depression.

The best practical solution to overcome depression is shifting focus from “What do you don’t want” to “What you want”. It is common to have minor problems in life even if you get the best resource. Based on what you focus on, you will attract the information from every corner. If you focus on the problem, then no doubt you will attract negative and disempowering information. If you are optimistic and focus on the solution then you will get tonnes of information on how to come out of the problem.

It is important to note that the situation doesn’t drive the solution but our understanding about the situation and focus decides the solution we are heading.

When you are facing a problem in life, getting away is not the only solution. It is important to note that every suffering has meaning if you don’t learn from suffering then there is less chance of seeing a positive outcome in the future.

Viktor E.Frankl in his Man’s search for meaning says that

We must never forget that we may also find meaning in life even when confronted with a hopeless situation when facing a fate that cannot be changed. For what then matter is to bear witness to the uniquely human potential at its best, which is to transform a personal tragedy into a triumph, to turn one’s predicament into a human achievement.

How to overcome anxiety problems due to weak and afflicted Moon?

As noted earlier the anxiety or fear is usually associated with thinking about worst-case scenarios of the future. The fear is the man’s greatest enemy. The fear is the master behind the failures, failed relationships, and bad decisions in life.

Do the thing that you are afraid of and the death of fear is certain

The best way to overcome anxiety is to visualize the positive outcome of the future through conscious effort. For some period of time, your mind will try to go to comfort zone(thinking worst case scenarios, that will be a comfort zone for now) but you have to consciously pull back to present. After some consistent effort, you can completely come out of anxiety problems.

You may wonder how positive thinking can change the future reality. Faith is the most important parameter to convince your subconscious mind. When your desire and imagination are sync with each other then the body and Mind will work together to get the end result. But in case, if you picture worst case scenario in your mind’s eye but desire to get positive outcome then your conscious mind and subconscious mind will not be in sync with each other, hence the subconscious mind will quietly reject your weak belief.

When your desires and imagination are in conflict, your imagination invariably gains the day – Dr. Joseph Murphy

So visualizing a positive future will be the key eliminate anxiety and to see the positive result.
