Saturn transit in 5th house leads to depression and activate past life karma?

The whole story of human life is supposed to be focused WITHIN. But the focus is always on the outside and that is where the essence is missed – it is simply missed! The Transit of planets is WITHIN us. Every moment with every breath that you take – CHANGE is happening – movement of VIBRATIONS is happening WITHIN us and these VIBRATIONS are based on certain Qualities. AND these Qualities is what the ancient seers have MAPPED with the outer planets of our galaxy.

Always remember – and I say it to all my followers and readers – that it is ALWAYS – ‘INSIDE OUT’ and NOT ‘OUTSIDE INSIDE’!

What is within you – what you are within – what is happening within you is what VIBRATES with the OUTER PLANET TRANSITS – and WHEN the ‘INSIDE SYNC with the OUT – Result manifests! And YOGA is nothing but this Manifestation! How beautiful is all this – this Human Birth is to SELF REALIZE this process by being MEDITATIVE – by TURNING INWARD – because all that you SEEK *is* WITHIN YOU and not without.

If there is Godliness within you – if you are in LOVE with GOD – then no matter where you are – whether you are in Temple or whether you are in a Market crowded with people – nothing can disturb the Joy – the peace within you!

There was one man – he must be like me – very straightforward – because he had NO Agenda – NO business to make – so when there is NO AGENDA – why would you fear or hesitate! Only a man who has something to lose – a man who is CLINGING to everything that he has – goes on fearing – such a man hesitates.

A woman came to seek this man’s advice – she said “ My whole life I have been to temples and hundreds of temples but NOTHING has ever happened – I have never been happy. Please help me to understand where am I missing – what is it that I have been missing my whole life?”

The man said “For the coming 4 days – you should not take bath. After 4 days come to me.”

The woman came after 4 days -she smelled badly – looked dull – looking at the man she said “ 4 days are over – and I am standing before you.”

The man said “Just outside my house there is a temple – go there – sit for 10 minutes and then come back.”

The woman goes to the temple. Then after spending 10 minutes in that temple – she comes back.

The man says “ How do you feel?”

The woman says “ Are you crazy? How would I feel – I am feeling absolutely nothing – no change, I just want to take BATH first – only then when I visit the temple I will feel FRESH.”

The man looked into the eyes of the woman – there was a certain grace to his look – his eyes twinkled and he said “ Beta – this is what I wanted to let you know – UNLESS you ‘TAKE A BATH’ – UNLESS you CLEANSE the DUST (IGNORANCE) WITHIN YOU – UNLESS you LOOK WITHIN – UNLESS You TURN INWARD and FOCUS WITHIN – how will you ever feel FRESH – even though you visit millions and millions of temples?”

The woman hugged the man, touched his feet – her eyes became wet, she started crying……with every tear drop – the IGNORANCE was being washed away……the man raised her and the woman said “ I found my answer…..the way is WITHIN…..”

Unless you are CLEAN – unless you have TURNED INWARD – unless you have started MEDITATING – no matter how many temples and astrologers and pundits and magicians you visit – NOTHING IS EVER GOING TO HAPPEN IN TRUE SENSE.

And the REAL HAPPENING is only WHEN something starts moving within you – when you start vibrating with the DIVINE. REAL TRANSFORMATION is WITHIN.

But People are behind Money, power, sex, pleasures – millions and millions of souls have come and gone – and they all experienced all of these – but where are they after they lose the human body – after the leave the human body?

But not everybody can understand this. And so this answer may be collapsed – but as long as it remains – it can benefit a few of my followers and so the answer.

The ancient scriptures mention “ AHAM BRAMHASMI” – meaning “ I AM THE UNIVERSE.” – When I am the UNIVERSE – it signify that all that is in this UNIVERSE – is also WITHIN Me! Our Ancient Sages were highly spiritual beings – some of them were enlightened beings and so they could relate with the reality of ONENESS. Non-Duality – (Advait).

When the thought – ‘I am the Mind – I am the Body’ ceases to exist – the real journey begins – the Journey Beyond!

Now let us see more around your question of one planet transit.

You must have seen the typical Indian Thali (Lunch Plate)? It looks like this:

Our BIRTH CHART is exactly like this THALI. Just the way – not one single dish CANNOT comprise or makeup the whole THALI similarly just one placement of planet or TRANSIT of planet cannot comprise or makeup the whole of the RESULT!

But people have made ASTROLOGY ONE dimensional – when LIFE is MULTIDIMENSIONAL.

Once you become the center – you start realizing the fact that it is NOT the OUTSIDE that impacts or affects you, it is what lies WITHIN you that affects you and your progress in life.

The ancient sages were not foolish. They were one of the GREATEST SPIRITUAL MASTERS who had SELF REALIZED the fact that what lies within and outside is NOT in CONTRADICTION but rather COMPLIMENTS each other.

The whole UNIVERSE comprises of THREE GUNAS or QUALITIES:

TAMAS GUNA ( Base level – animal instincts quality)

RAJAS GUNA ( Pleasure seeking quality – show off- boasting – lavish quality)

SATVIC GUNA ( God loving – pure- pious – sensitive – forgiving quality)

All the 9 planets or bodies REPRESENT the above qualities. OUR WHOLE DESTINY is BASED ON THE PLAY and COMBINATION OF THESE QUALITIES. The PLANETS are nothing but these QUALITIES. Each PLANET represent a specific quality (GUNA).

SHANI, RAHU, MARS – fall in the TAMAS GUNA (Aggressive, Negative)

VENUS, MERCURY, KETU – fall in the RAJAS GUNA (Pleasure seeking, Royal)

JUPITER, MOON, SUN – fall in the SATVIC GUNA (Divine seeking, Pious, Holy)

Every moment – every day – WITHIN us the the constant play of these QUALITIES (Planets) is going on….when you are ANGRY – when you want to plot against someone – Saturn and Mars are activated.

When you are being too calculating and looking to make a deal – Venus and Mercury is activated.

When you are in a romantic mood – Venus and Moon is activated

When you want to have some hard sex – Venus and Mars is activated.

When you are in a BLISSFUL and devoted mood – Jupiter, Sun or Jupiter, Moon qualities are activated within you.

The point is that NO SINGLE PLANET defines the story of your life – your mood or your Karma.

So now tell me – how can just one transit aspect of Saturn can define or predict the outcome of your life, my life or anybody who is reading this answer – his or her life?

But money has to be earned – so then begins the business of YouTube videos and scary articles on how Saturn in 5th or 7th or 8th does this and that – it is the nature of this human world- to CREATE FEAR because FEAR sells faster than FAITH!

FEAR sells. Mohan asked “Why – why FEAR sells?

And the answer is IGNORANCE. The answer is ABSENCE of SELF-KNOWLEDGE. The answer is the tendency to FOLLOW THE MIND. And the MIND is a monkey. The nature of the MIND is to fear – what will you do? You will continue to perceive life with one dimension and then you are lost – you are simply lost.

But I want to tell all my followers and readers that never perceive life with One dimension- never perceive Astrology with One dimension – never perceive your own SELF with One dimension – BECAUSE life is NOT one dimensional – life is Multidimensional.

But this is human world. There is question of money of survival of doing something to create a storm and so then you see all kind of scary YouTube videos on Astrology or read one dimensional articles on Saturn transit or Rahu transit. But one should realize that all of this is- Pure entertainment and NOT the Truth.

AND Truth is far more dangerous IF you are still caught in the trap of your mind!

Only a man – only a woman who is moving beyond the MIND can FACE THE TRUTH – the rest of the crowd will just continue to remain in their own self-made PRISON OF MIND.

All that you read about astrology transit is ONE DIMENSIONAL – focusing on anyone PLANET. All those YOU TUBE videos that you see are also ONE DIMENSIONAL – they are GOOD for ENTERTAINMENT – but that is all!

And so I keep myself away from the crowd – because they are all focusing on ONE DIMENSIONAL ASTROLOGY whereas ASTROLOGY is meant to be MULTIDIMENSIONAL.

And so I remain away from the crowd – away from all those INTELLECTUALS – away from all those RAHU-ish men and women – because they all move with the CROWD and TRUTH never happens to a CROWD.

“Who is an Individual?” asked Mohan

Individual is that person who is moving beyond Mind. Who is meditating and his or her meditation is not to attain anything but to simply come to the center of his being – because when you are centered – you start overcoming the MIND – that’s its beginning. The Journey from MIND to NO MIND.

Always remember and I say it specifically for my followers that – TRUTH happens – but it happens only when you have become a NO MIND.

My new book NO MIND shares more on the futility of this thing called MIND.

TRANSIT has to be studied and observed COLLECTIVELY – with MULTI DIMENSIONAL perspective. It is like a CRICKET MATCH – you see only the bowler bowling – when in reality you have to understand the fact that it is NOT just the BOWLER who is going to take the WICKET alone – it is the SUPPORT of all the FIELDING teammates that is going to trigger a WICKET (RESULT).

TRANSIT is also not PLANET based. It is NAKSHATRA based. SATURN is transiting in which Nakshatra? Which Nakshatra Pada? Every Rashi or Zodiac Sign has 4 Padas.

So the whole story of transits is not just about the Sign – but about 27 Nakshatras and 108 Padas and their Ruling planets!

Now that we have seen the whole detailed NAKSHATRA PADA and its RULING PLANETS – let us see how SATURN will TRANSIT through CAPRICORN (MAKAR) for the coming months and years.

SIGN CAPRICORN –

SATURN for the initial coming months will simply transit through the following PADA of UTTARASHADA NAKSHATRA – targeting – KETU, SUN, MARS. So on a very generic viewpoint the house ruled by these 3 planets and the house they are placed – all the matters related to these houses will come forth. AGAIN it is NOT that SATURN always brings PAIN and SUFFERING. A POSITIVE SATURN (Meaning POSITIVE PAST KARMA) can also enlighten you – make you aware of the matters related to these 3 PADA RULERS in your horoscope – but as mentioned earlier – you cannot just have ONE DIMENSION of SATURN TRANSIT – you have to consider the whole plethora of planetary transits – to come to a conclusion or observation.

SO Saturn will transit through 9 PADAS and every time each PADA RULER will determine a certain quality – direction to the events that SATURN MAY PROVIDE COLLECTIVELY WITH OTHER TRANSITING PLANETS – as mentioned earlier ASTROLOGY IS MULTIDIMENSIONAL just the way LIFE is MULTIDIMENSIONAL.

So whoever is following me – should NOT take the Youtube videos or articles seriously – because if they are just focusing on one planet transit leading to a certain result than all that is fake – it can be a good entertainment but not a reality.

But the larger question is who wants to know the reality!!! ENTERTAINMENT sells – REALITY does not.

REALITY will kill all your notions and preconceived ideas about Astrology. And so I never entertain anybody who wants to learn astrology from me. Because it is impossible- he or she will go nuts – because Truth is hard, very hard.

And so I keep sharing through this forum. It is a SILENT sharing – those who can understand will resonate with me – those who cannot will ridicule me.

But what I am – remains.

My state does not change based on OTHER’s judgement because once you know – who you are and what you are – does it make a difference to what the world has to say about you?

And I tell this to all my genuine followers and readers – that this is very significant. If anybody in your life considers you as utter foolish and mad – does that make a difference to your state IF you know who you are and what you are from WITHIN?

It does NOT.

Yesterday Mohan said “ A few people called me ‘ Beggar’ “

I asked “ Mohan – how much is your bank balance?”

Mohan said “ Around 20 Lakhs in savings and some 10 lakhs in equity.”

I said “ Then are you a Beggar?”

Mohan quickly responded “ No I am NOT”

Then I smiled and said “ Then tell me Mohan – what difference does it make if those people or the whole World calls you Beggar- YOU know the state of your reality. You know that you have a big fat bank balance. You know you are RICH.”

Mohan felt relieved. And this is what I am telling each one of you – whoever is reading this answer – that NEVER MIND what the other say about you – when you know your own reality!

But then the larger question is that – Why we don’t get it? Why we take such offenses to our heart? Because we are ALWAYS seeking VALIDATION from OTHERS. Because we Always want to validate that “ I am Good” from others – especially from our near and dear ones.

You see – we always seek CERTIFICATE OF GOODNESS or GREATNESS from Others and this how we go on missing life – this is how we continue to depend on the other’s opinions about ourselves who are still to know themselves!

And this is the greatest irony of this human world. We are not happy until we hear someone validate our greatness our goodness.

A man who turns inward – a man who self inquire – a man who is trying to self realize his own qualities and his own short comings – need no certification or validation from others. HE is perfectly aware of himself – he knows his foolishness and he knows his being wise- and he knows the art of balancing these two ends and this art of balancing the negative with the positive makes him a Buddha!

BALANCE. A Balance has to be maintained. TOO MUCH of WISDOM will make you a long face and TOO MUCH of FOOLISHNESS will make you Suicidal.

LAO TZU – the divine spiritual master says “TOO MUCH IS THE ONLY SIN.”!

And nowadays when it comes to TRANSITS – specially of fearful planets like SATURN or RAHU – the whole media is bend on doing it TOO MUCH to cause FEAR within you and so I UNDERSTAND. I perfectly understand from where your question is coming and because I understand – I am helping you and through you – all my followers and readers to come out of this TOO MUCH of EXAGARRATION that focuses on just ONE DIMENSION of planet’s transit and jumps on conclusions- if Astrology would have been so simple – then everybody would have become an Astrologer by default! But that’s not the case. That’s not the reality.

Apart from Transits – there are many many movements happening WITHIN you – many transits and changes happening within you – what are they?

MAHADASHA. ANTARDASHA. PRATYANTARDASHA. TRANSITS OF OTHER 8 PLANETS OR ENTITIES. EACH TRANSIT MANIFEST ITS OWN QUALITIES VIA NAKSHATRA AND PADA . SO AT A GIVEN TIME – 9 PLANETS TRANSITING THROUGH EACH NAKSHATRA – THAT BRINGS 9 MORE NAKSHATRA LORDS AND THEIR PLACEMENTS. THEN COMES THE CONSTANT OCCURENCE OF NEW MOON DAY AND FULL MOON DAYS – IN BETWEEN ARE THE QUARTERLY ECLIPSES- SO MANY MANY MOVEMENTS OR TRANSITS HAPPENING WITHIN YOU – SO how can just ONE planet transit bring forth the whole story that you are going to experience NOW or the NEXT moment?

But who wants to listen? That is why my Guru always used to say that Astrology is a very complex subject – understand it, self realize it BUT don’t get carried away by it!

Astrology is good as long as you don’t get carried away by it. It is good to know certain aspects of astrology- but astrology is just a small river – a very small river – a very small subject of the larger subject that is SPIRITUALITY. Spirituality is a VAST OCEAN – ASTROLOGY is just one small river that flows and merges with it – and if it does not than you remain just a calculating parrot and I would not want all my followers to become a parrot – I would love to see all my readers and followers to become EAGLES – to UNDERSTAND the true meaning of ASTROLOGY – to understand the true essence of ASTROLOGY – once you understand the basics – then you are ready to build your own tower.

You all have to focus within – and realize the fact that you got to have a multi-dimensional perspective towards Astrology and LIFE in its totality – else the Bull anyhow goes round and round – it thinks that it is travelling a lot – walking a lot – going to many places – but the FACT is HE simply moves round and round and round – leading him to nowhere!

But you all – and you all must be special because following me is not everybody’s potential – and so I would not like to see you all going nowhere – and the moment you starting focusing WITHIN – you find the way – and so come you all – come and close your eyes and spend 20 minutes daily in deep meditation. Gradually increase the time. Because life is short – time is running out – Death never comes with a scheduled appointment – Death simply strikes and you don’t know – when?

But Life is Beautiful because there is Death! Had there been NO DEATH – we would not have valued the immense significance of the precious LIFE that we live! Had there been NO DIFFICULTIES, NO CHALLENGES, NO FAILURES – we would not have valued the SUCCESS that we achieve! So you see – Sugar and Chilies make the ‘dish’ tasty – similarly failures, and success makes our ‘life’ meaningful – it adds a certain quality of depth of understanding to our existence!

So never complain – never say “ I don’t get what I deserve” – because LIFE is a JOURNEY – a beautiful Journey. Ups and Downs of life – keeps you ALIVE.

“Ups and downs in life are very important to keep us going, because a straight line even in an ECG means we are not alive.” – Ratan Tata

And this is EXACTLY what TRANSITS is all about. UPs and DOWNs. If you had a good phase of certain transits – chances are that the next phase may not be so good – followed with the next phase that will be too good and this is how the cycle of transits continue – cycle after cycle – but what TRIGGERS these transits is your PERSONAL – very PERSONAL BIRTH CHART DASHA PERIODS and PROGRESSIVE CHARTS – and the overall picture that your SUDARSHAN CHAKRA interprets.

So I earnestly appeal not just to the questioner but to all my dear followers and readers that DO NOT GO BY just one transit of a certain planet – ASTROLOGY has much to it and it is always in your interest to take a balanced view after evaluating all the supporting aspects and transits and DASHA and progressions of your personal birth chart.

This whole life is like a seesaw!

Today you are DOWN – and tomorrow you are UP – but it is this UP and DOWN that makes our life a meaningful life. Pain comes, wounds of failures and rejections are there BUT it is only through these WOUNDS that you MATURE and you EVOLVE as a much better much conscious human being – aware, forgiving and loving human being.

And so I tell you all – DO NOT FEAR the WOUNDS – do not complain – do not regret the WOUNDS because this is the way life is ought to be! This is how life blossoms – this is how you flower – this is the way of its happening!

You don’t have spend your valuable time in reading about transits because not a single person can give you the HOLISTIC VIEW of what is going to happen with you through just one planet transit! For that your personal chart need to be observed and all the hundreds of possibilities taken into consideration before reaching towards a conclusion! It is deep – but people are shallow – today’s AGE is like that – you cannot do much about it.

But you can always help yourself by turning inward and Meditating! You can always try to change yourself! When I was clever I wanted to CHANGE the world – but when I became wise – I started changing myself says the divine Sufi Saint – Rumi!

So come – come you all and Meditate.

Meditation is simply entering into yourself – turning inward – by focusing all your energy on the name of the Holy Lord. Meditation is an entrance within your being. And the entrance is so deep that nothing remains, no body, no mind…..and yet all is found!

Focus within – understand and self-realize the fact that the transits the planets the Nakshatras – they all are NOT outside but WITHIN your being.

Perceive LIFE in TOTALITY. Perceive Astrology in TOTALITY. Unless you are TOTAL – there is NO coming to the TRUTH. The only way to self-realize the TRUTH is by BEING TOTAL. Be TOTAL.

How can you be total? Totality will come one day. After you have reached your very innermost core, you will be total in your actions. The Key is to turn inward and realize your SELF.

Turn inward. Close your eyes. Fall in love. And Stay there. Focus on your breathing – listen to the voice within.

Meditate.

Jai Shri Ganesha.Jai Guru.
