The natal chart is a snapshot of when we are born. Those issues will be the underlying issues that we will be working to improve on our entire life, thereby improving our starved and debilitated planets.
If Jupiter is being starved by being in Mercury sign, there will be 10 years when Jupiter will not be in Mercury sign and we get Jupiter’s blessings, unless something else is blocking it. Those are the years when we get to change our perspectives, gain more wisdom and develop more faith.
I believe those videos are part of the earliest Avasthas classes? Have you listened to the more recent ones (Heart of Parashara astrology) and, also, the current master class that Ernst is putting together where I believe he will give us the tools we need to deal with each Avasthas. I also believe that self knowledge goes a long way (but maybe am one of those hopeless optimists 🙂
I have a Jupiter, Mars, Saturn, Rahu conjunction in the 6th parivartana yoga with Mer in Sag in the 9th. I definitely identify with my ashamed Jupiter, having an excessive sense and need for purpose, being fanatical, being overly concerned about money, being unlucky, being rebellious and not having faith in my guru or teachers in general, being unable to have children. Though astrology has really helped me to understand myself, perhaps astrology is more the Venusian guru than the philosophical Juptarean guru.
In my opinion astrological psychology can only get you so far, at the end of the day we're all spirit souls that want to get a higher taste(Gita 2.59) that comes from having a loving relationship with the Supreme Personality of Godhead. That relationship is open to everyone no matter how starved their Jupiter is.
