On the nabhasa yogas

Hello friends

Short version of this post: Be careful with the Aditya nabhasa yogas ( Rajju Musala Nava) .  You've got to take the whole chart into account to see how they're at work. Seems obvious, but I don't recall Ernst mentioning this in his video. He says it a lot regarding yogas in general other places. 

I do respectfully submit to Ernst that in case a total beginner jump in at Adityas, the disclaimer on seeing how yogas  weigh out with the big picture of the chart be taken into account.  Beginners can be very concrete in their thinking, I know I used to be that way when learning  astrology "rules".  

Long version/ my story:

For those of you following Adityas content in real time, I was fortunate to be in the online groups and want to introduce myself.  My name is Shannon Cook and I love Astrology.  I haven't taken money for a reading since about 1998- I love learning astrology but it's my hobby, you could say, because I love it so much, I don't want to make it my work. I don't look to astrology to understand myself so much as to marvel at how you can see God's roadmap for this world we find ourselves in- I find it very reassuring when for instance, Saturn transits my moon and I feel depressed ( but this one is awfully hard yes), or Jupiter transits my lagna and I overeat.  Of course it helps to understand oneself psychologically too and others, don't get me wrong, but, I do believe we can all meditate and contemplate on the fact that well, people are different and accepting that fact deeply is healing.  In many ways that sums up psychologic astrology for me.   And I say this as a trained therapist and practicing psychiatrist who has heard patient after patient tell me that talk therapy and psychological understanding of themselves only goes so far.  I think these things are necessary and good, but they no longer excite me. I personally am into somatic modalities for  healing and self understanding, but that's another story. 

What I love about astrology is being able to see what's happening in real time as reflected in predictions - watching the maps of our lives unfold with divine order, as reflected in the stars so to speak.  Over the years, I've listened to a ton of content, and I've kept my mind open to all of it, incorporating some into my daily thoughts and other parts quickly forgetting- because there is only so much one brain can latch onto.  One thing I do recall about yogas in general, is, you've got to look at the whole picture, before assuming a yoga really works, and I want to reflect on that here. Because according to Aditya astrology, I've got Rajju yoga.  Five personal moveable planets, and an Aryama moon which grounds it out. 

I am 52 years young and want you to know, I have built a lot in my life.  A lot of good things that feel deeply true to me.  I do NOT feel or manifest  the way Ernst describes the Rajju yoga.  My current  life does NOT reflect one who has lived it either. I have a thriving career, which I keep tweaking to satiate inner drives.  The tweaking is where Rajju could be said to come in, but, if you look at me from the outside in, you would think I have Musala yoga.  I work a ton, I'm obsessed at baseline with work, and also, by the way, I am on a mission with my work, which is deep and personal to the core of my being and in many ways reflected by my atmakaraka, Saturn. Because I cling to the mission often deaf, lame, slow and blind and I need to rest frequently because in many ways it's exhausting.  So, please be careful when you read the yogas- if you told me I haven't built anything, I would simply know you were wrong.  I've been married almost twenty years and have long lasting friendships and a solid marriage as well.   ( aryama moon) And in the sidereal system, it looks like I've got Musala yoga- if you dial everything back 23 degrees I would.  So, how can Rajuu apply to me? 

Well, from the ages of 14 to about 27, I was definitely in a Rajju yoga frame of being.  The places I lived and the experiences I had were vast, varied and sometimes out of a mystical storybook but actually did happen ( yes 4 Varuna planets).  I had boyfriends, ex husband, lived out of a tent, more jobs than I can possibly list here.  All the external adventures and changes came to a halt with Saturn return #1 and I went to medical school and settled down. If you look from the outside in, I look more like Musala yoga now.  Living out the life of an Aryama moon.

Further, If you use the tropical signs- I would have Nala yoga.  4 planets in tropical  gemini and pisces mars.  And you could definitely argue that I've manifested the body of a Nala yoga human.  Skinny upper body until age 40 with thick backside and legs, that was my baseline, to the point that complete strangers would comment on my anatomy ( Lorris I want to chat with you about body parts I think this is fascinating).  

But at the end of the day, after 52 years of life, I think, Ernst is really, really onto something with these Adityas and the way he's reading them. I would just advise that the yoga be reflected as part of the whole reading, or you might read it wrong.  For example two days ago, I inadvertently put myself on a watermelon fast.  I was in a state of sheer delight gorging myself on watermelon for breakfast, lunch and dinner.  Having mystical experiences and thrills just from eating fruit.... That's Rajju yoga.  I get thrills from sitting,walking down my street.  It's all internal, but it's definitely going on. I can get into states of ecstasy sitting in very boring executive leadership meetings at work, knowing I'm the only person in the room high on life.  I do believe Rajju yoga is helpful in this regard. 

I'm taking a trip I don't WANT to take this week, to Spain. It's not really Rajju yoga-ish to shun adventures, truly I want to stay home ( Aryama moon) and pet my cats and keep working my day job, but a higher calling has me getting on a plane.  I do NOT feel adventurous about this, frankly, I feel dread.  But the call inside for learning and growth cannot be denied and I'm doing my own version of running to it, dropping everything else, as Ernst would say, out of a sense of wonder and inner adventure that forces growth- there is the Rajju yoga coming out.  So, this Rajju yoga thing, like all other yogas, has modifiers, but it's there for me, if even more internally, BUT I know without a doubt, I am building and have built things.  It would be false to say otherwise.  So, the modifiers matter when you read a chart. I think, when Ernst says look at the LA's ( and the Lordships and aspects which we still have more to look at) to see the whole picture, that must surely be reiterated and with these yogas as well.   Thank you for reading this far.  May we all be blessed in our Astrology journeys.  Aum
